Nice try, Burt's Bees. Your (sort of) almost won me over. The phthalate-free scents are lovely, and the branding is nice and clean. But wait! Let's have a closer look at the ingredients, shall we? Floral Cherrynova Natural Softening Conditioner-water, cetearyl alcohol, fragrance, ceteareth-20, glycerin, phenoxyethanol, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, hibiscus sabdariffa flower*, mentha piperita (peppermint) leaf extract*, salvia officinalis (sage) leaf extract*, thymus vulgaris (thyme) leaf extract*, urtica dioica (nettle) leaf extract*,...

Caitie's recent November Used It post inspired me to do one of my own. It's my very first, and it's a little late, but here I go anyway.

  From Left to Right: Captain Blankenship Mantra Perfume Sample- I ran out of this dreamy sample almost immediately. After Jana heard about how much I liked this particular scent, she kindly offered to send me my own roll-on for free! My Christmas list just got a little shorter. Wash the Day Away Calming Chamomile Facial Elixir- Since...

Link to Achieving Beach-Ready Feet at Home

I love having soft feet and polished toes, but I do not love paying a stranger $20+ to touch all over my feet (not to mention all the harsh ingredients in the creams, scrubs, and polishes most nail salons use). To avoid this awkward, pricey, and potentially hazardous situation, I gathered all the necessary supplies and gave myself a pedicure just in time for the beach. If you too would like to fancy up your feet at home, I've provided a picture of the supplies I used and a list of the steps I took below. Read More »

Searching for a Safe, Affordable, and Unexpired Sunscreen

Link to Searching for a Safe, Affordable, and Unexpired Sunscreen

Greetings from the beach, and try not to be jealous of the fact that I'm probably digging my toes into the sand and drinking something icy as you read this.  While I'm gone, I've scheduled a beach vacation themed post for each day. Today's post is obviously about sunscreen. Enjoy! After realizing that all three of my bottles of sunscreen were expired, I began looking for a safe and affordable replacement to bring with me to the beach. I researched my past purchases (the first three below) and several other sunscreens I've yet to try. Below are my findings, made (for...

Choosing a Natural Insect Repellent

Link to Choosing a Natural Insect Repellent

Mosquitoes in Lake Charles are a different kind of awful than I'm used to encountering. Applying a little bug spray before an evening cookout always got the job done in Mississippi. Here, I've been getting bitten throughout the day and through my pants while covered in my go-to bug spray. That isn't to say Burt's Bees Herbal Insect Repellent doesn't help at all (I get twice the bites when I forgo wearing it), but it definitely isn't providing optimal protection. And since my supply is dwindling, I thought I'd do a little...

A Lovely Evening

With my approaching period, I've been feeling not quite myself lately. I've been eating everything in sight without a second thought. My skin and my hair haven't been behaving themselves (My clay and eggs mask had positive but fleeting results), and after walking Clem and Winston every day this week, my feet are sore and actually pretty smelly (It happens to the best of us).  One night this week, in an attempt to make myself look and feel less haggard, I made time for a
