All Natural Apricot Face Scrub

We've all used Apricot Scrub at one point or another, right? I've been a faithful user for many years. That is until I started reading the ingredient labels on my skin care products. The gentle version for sensitive skin that you can purchase at nearly every grocery or pharmacy claims to contain 95% naturally derived ingredients. But the other 5%?

Nourishing & Natural Bronzer Oil

You may be thinking Fall is a weird time to be thinking about bronzing oil. I would respectfully say that you are wrong. Here in Nashville, it's still in the 80's. Much too warm to be rocking tights with my dresses. But that tiny shade of a tan I got from a pool party in June has more than worn off to reveal my pasty, pale legs.

Mango Almond Body Butter

Let me start this post with saying "sorry it's been a while since my last post". I took a major fall in my cast iron bathtub last week and the bathtub won. Like any woman, my instant reaction was to protect my face, so I threw up my arms and shielded myself from cracked teeth, black eyes, etc. Well, my right shoulder caught my fall, protecting my face, but fracturing my rotator cuff (or some part … [Read more...] about Mango Almond Body Butter

Natural Non-toxic Deodorant that’s NOT DIY

You know I love me some DIY skincare, right? But I've been hesitant to jump on the diy deodorant bandwagon. It just seems messy and minimally effective. Plus I've heard a lot about the baking soda having less than gentle effects on sensitive skin, which I definitely have.
