Cloudy Apple Juice
Filed under: food and drink, health and beauty, physical well-being
I drink a lot of juice, and I've made it a personal goal of mine to only drink juices that add something other than sugar and water to my diet. Because of this, I've obviously been doing some research. I've learned some pretty interesting facts about all sorts of juices, but apple juice is what I'd like to discuss right now. Other than buying organic, I've never been too picky when buying apple juice. Apparently, whether or not the apple juice I'm buying is organic is is only one...
Another Use for Coconut Oil
Filed under: health and beauty, life lessons, natural products, skin care
Until a few days ago, I was taking off my eye makeup (which is usually the only makeup I wear) with olive oil. While on our family beach vacation, Danielle suggested that I use coconut oil. She had done the same and had an entirely positive experience. She is always steering me in the right direction. My eye makeup literally melted away. I will never go back to olive oil (unless I run out of coconut oil and am in a...
Hair Business and Vacation Purchases

My beach vacation has been pretty fly thus far. I haven't spent much time at the beach (because of the nasty water and nasty tar balls), but our Condo is sufficiently sweet. There's a lazy river; how cool is that?! I've been avoiding shampoo altogether this week and using baking soda in its place. I've been conditioning with Aveda Rosemary Mint Conditioner (and my hair has never looked better): My mom bought me some Time & Again Organics hand cream today at a cute little shop. It was seven dollars, and it smells like a dream:
The...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,...
Five Things to Consider When Buying Health and Beauty Products
Filed under: health and beauty, natural products, product review
Sometimes choosing health and beauty products is tough. Here are some tips that I try to keep in mind when shopping for them. 1) Always read the ingredients. Check out the ingredients that you're curious about on the Cosmetic Safety Database, and see what they have to say about it. I link this website often because I use it so often. Also, it's legit. Research it for yourself if you see it necessary. After using the site for a while, you'll start to recognize the names of certain chemicals that are potentially harmful. This may or may not make you...
a truly hairy situation
Allow me to preface this entry by saying I firmly believe that all the things we put on our bodies have just as much of an impact on our health and well-being as the things we put in our bodies. For the past two years or so, I had been passionately searching for a shampoo and condioner that satisfied, met, and maybe even exceeded all my expectations. I was actually not asking for much. I just needed something free of parabens(a type of preservative) and sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates(a cleaning agent) that would also make my hair look fabulous. I learned very...
