A Pretty Dress
I'm feeling pretty uninspired in the health and beauty department right now. I have a few products to review (including Karen's Botanicals Exfoliating Cleansing Grains and Dr Bronner's Lavendar Coconut Hair Conditioner & Style Creme), but I'd like to use them a few more times before posting my thoughts and feelings about them. I could talk about more interesting articles that I've been reading, but I haven't really come across any more that are worth sharing. So, here's a dress that I want:
Modcloth has some of the cutest dresses, and I kind of need this...
Selena’s Guest Review of Karen’s Botanicals Fennel Sage Toner
Filed under: guest review, health and beauty, natural products, product review, skin care
I recently purchased Fennel Sage Toner for oily skin from Karen's Botanicals after using Dawn's Melissa Rose Toner and absolutely loving it. I didn't even realize that I should be using toner, until Dawn explained to me that it might help my oily oily skin. I feel like Karen's Botanicals toner is kind of a miracle product and I tell everyone about it. When I have break outs, they clear...
Karen’s Botanicals Rehydrating Aloe Vera Lotion Review
Filed under: health and beauty, natural products, product review, skin care
I know that I've discussed my potentially greasy face with you guys before. I have to be careful when choosing a moisturizer, and I usually try (and fail) to steer clear of oil-based moisturizers (with the exception of eye creams). When I read the description for this product, I knew that I had to at least give it a try.
Ingredients- (provided at karensbotanicals.com)- "Aloe Vera gel*, pure vegetable Glycerine, Melissa extract*; Bergamot, Tea Tree, and other selected essential oils. *Denotes certified organic. Use within one year of purchase."
Product Description (also provided at karensbotanicals.com)- "A...
Karen’s Botanicals Melissa Rose Toner
Filed under: health and beauty, natural products, product review, skin care
I have tried several different toners in the past few years, but I usually ended up throwing them away or simply forgetting to use them when the bottle was still half full. I never really saw enough of a difference in my skin to continue using or purchasing them. But after buying and loving Karen's Botanicals Rehydrating Olive Oil Cleanser, I decided to give her toner a try. I wasn't really surprised when I ended up loving it too. The Melissa Rose Toner is for normal to dry skin. I was reluctant to try the Fennel Sage...
My bad, Karen (a re-review).
Filed under: health and beauty, natural products, product review, skin care
I would like to apologize for jumping the gun and telling the internet that Karen's Botanicals Calendula Rose Facial Cream smells like ham. After being assured that I must have received an expired or defective sample, I gave it another try. To my surprise, the cream smelled nothing like ham the second time around. Apparently I did initially receive a bad sample. re-review: Scent- While the scent is not something that I consider entirely pleasant, it certainly is not unpleasant. It certainly would not prevent me from purchasing the product, especially since the smells fades within a few minutes of applying the...

Karen’s Botanicals Calendula Rose Facial Cream Review
Filed under: health and beauty, natural products, product review, skin care
Scent- Usually, scent is not the most important aspect of a product for me. When the product smells like ham, however, scent becomes a big deal. After applying this a few nights ago for the first time, I contemplated washing it off because of the smell. I decided against it, for the sake of this review. Performance- This stuff is very moisturizing, and (smell aside) it makes a wonderful night cream. When I wake up after wearing it all night, my skin feels super soft. Ingredients (as listed on the website)- Sunflower, Olive oil infused with Rosebud and Calendula blossom, Calendula extract,...
Tuesday is a good day.

Since I am about to run out of conditioner and facial cleanser, I ordered some more online today. I also got some eye cream, because even though I love the miracle conditioner mentioned in my previous post...I want something specifically formulated for the sensitive area underneath my eyes. The best word to describe my skin is combination, but it's definitely more dry than oily. This stuff is recommended for dry skin, but it's winter time and I do what I want. I decided to get the lavender instead of the palmarosa (as stated in my big long list post) because the former...
