Remember when I told you guys about my unfortunate Dove deodorant habit? Well, I’ve finally kicked it, thanks to Aubrey’s Mens Stock North Woods Deodorant. Ted already reviewed the line, and in the post he points out that it smells like lumberjack. Well, that’s kinda true, but I’ve found that once the deodorant [...]

One thing I always have on hand is a good lip balm. I do not like chapped lips one bit. They feel icky, they flake, and it’s gross. And it’s not good to neglect my skin, especially my puckers which are very delicate and sensitive. Since my lips are obviously very [...]

As far as facial toners go, I love Pangea Organics’ French Rosemary w/Sweet Orange. Like, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that product. But my local Whole Foods doesn’t keep it in stock and every so often, the price of $23.00 + shipping is not in my budget. When this happens, I [...]

I don’t know exactly how many years I’ve used Burt’s Bees Orange Essence Facial Cleanser, but it’s been at least seven. To be accurate, I did stray away time and again. A dermatologist suggested Cetaphil, and other scented, frilly cleansers caught my eye. And yet, I always came back to Burt’s. [...]

I’m on a bar soap kick. It all started when I grew weary of searching shower gel labels to verify that they were free of SLS, parabens, and phthalates. Plus, I’ve moved past the shower puff, and this may only make sense to women, but I also like the aesthetic [...]

I’m a seasonal kind of girl. I live in Houston, TX, and we only have two significant weather changes: cool and HOT. Even so, I like to honor the four seasons as much as possible. Autumn is by far my favorite. Houston finally cools off and I begin to fill our [...]

As I previously confessed, getting clean can be a spiritual experience for me. So it is only logical that I tried Indigo Wild’s frankincense & myrrh Zum Wash for my hands and body. And since cleanliness is next to Godliness, I keep a bottle by the bathroom sink. This soap smells heavenly. I’ll try [...]

I’ll admit to not shaving my legs every day, mostly because I have sensitive skin. But I do shave often, contrary to what some might think of natural gals like me. I used a Gillette Sensor Excel for a few years, but when the turquoise handle became covered in soap scum like snow, I started [...]

For me, showers are a religious experience. I’ve even been known to pray. I am odd, but the warm water pouring down, light streaming in through a tall window, and washing away grime with an aromatic soap all make for peaceful cleansing. One such soap is Pangea Organics Pyrenees Lavender with Cardamom shower gel.Pangea [...]

I am a walking injury. Clumsiness runs in my genes; as a child, it wasn’t so bad, but the older I get the more I can relate to my father’s numerous bruises and occasional yelps of pain while doing things around the house. He always had banged-up shins, presumably from running into things with them. [...]

Even though I am 32 years old, I still like playing with the contents of my Mom’s make-up bag. On a recent trip to help my Mom after her foot surgery, I stood guard while she washed her face and applied moisturizer, balancing carefully on her good foot. Then she rummaged around her make-up bag [...]
