Lemongrass Oil as a Flea Deterrent

Link to Lemongrass Oil as a Flea Deterrent

Since the warm weather and the fleas have arrived in Lake Charles (however briefly their stay may be), Clementine and Winston have been a little extra itchy. According to The Complete Book Of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy, lemongrass oil is an effective at deterring and discouraging  fleas, and the book suggests mixing a drop with their shampoo. I, of course, had to try this out immediately. Last night, after brushing their tiny teeth with Triple Pet All Natural Toothpaste (which I've been trying to remember to do daily),  I gave each of them a lemongrass and...

Link to Erbaviva Jasmine & Grapefruit Deodorant Review

Maybe I'm easy to please, but one of the Christmas gifts that I got most excited about was my Erbaviva Jasmine & Grapefruit Deodorant. I'd been longing for it ever since I tried and loved the Erbaviva Lemon & Sage Organic Deodorant. Ingredients (provided at erbaviva.com)- "Organic grain alcohol. Essential oils: Jasmine, Grapefruit, Ginger, Cedarwood, Cypress, Orange, Sage and Lemon." In addition to the ingredients listed on their website, the bottle lists a few more and classifies them all...

A Great Bath Experience

I took an awesome bath a couple of nights ago, and it involved: 1) Some of the leftover lavender and peppermint homemade bath soak that Danielle and I made. The peppermint tea in the bath soak sort of collected around the edges of the tub and looked gross, but the bath was otherwise perfect. 2) The Complete Book Of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy, which is a wonderful book that Danielle got me for Christmas....

Yesterday, in my second Christmas list post, I mentioned to you guys that a deodorant review was on the way.  I typed it up shortly after that post. I couldn't wait to tell the world about Erbaviva Lemon & Sage Deodorant! I received a free sample of this deodorant in the mail a little over a week ago, and I quickly scrubbed my armpits to remove any residue of my homemade deodorant so that I could try the new deodorant immediately. Getting down to business is what I do best. Ingredients (provided at erbaviva.com)- "Organic grain alcohol. Essential...

I have yet to actually review any of the products, but I did post about liking the trial size light to medium concealer while I was sunburned and on the beach with my family. I will eventually get around to posting thorough...

Link to This Works: Stretch Mark Oil Review

Remember the treats that I talked about in one of my recent posts? Well, I decided that it was time to review one of the health and beauty related products from that post. This Works: Stretch Mark Oil is kind of rocking my world right now. Before I get to the reviewing business, I should probably make it known that I've never used stretch mark oils or vitamin E oils as directed. Most directions suggest using these oils five or six times a day to achieve optimal results. My few lingering stretch marks left over from puberty don't...

Link to Let’s talk about perfume.

photo credit: tanakawho Until a few days ago, perfume had always been a guilty pleasure of mine.  I successfully traded in most of my old health and beauty products for safer (and consequently, more expensive) alternatives...but perfume was kind of a hard habit to break. I'd spray just a little on top of my clothes instead of directly on my...

Link to Pacifica Solid Perfumes: I’m For Them.

Danielle gave me two Pacifica Solid Perfumes around a year ago (Sandalwood and Mexican Cocoa), and I immediately fell in love with the Sandalwood-scented one. I used it for a couple of months until it started making my head hurt (which tends to happen to me with any scent when I expose myself to it for long enough).  I decided to give the other one a try, even though it didn't really smell like my cup of tea while it was in the tin.  Surprisingly, after I applied it behind my ears and on my neck,...
