Anyway, today I'll be reviewing said oil. Ingredients (provided at basqnyc.com)- “Corylus Avellana (Hazel) Seed Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulicis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat Germ)...

Link to How do you moisturize?

  Seeing  on the Jenesequa blog has me rethinking the way I apply my moisturizer. I mean, I'm opposed to many of the ingredients used in Clarins products,  but would you look at Claire's skin?! Either she has excellent genes or there's something to her method of application. Maybe both. To moisturize, I typically start in the center of my forehead (recently with jojoba/argan/lavender EO blend) and work my way to my outer and then inner cheeks in small, gentle, circular strokes,...

We have a small health food store, a Sephora, a Ross, a Marshalls, and a Target. I'm sure I don't need to point out the problems with this selection, but I will anyway. The first is way yonder out of my price range and sells...

My obsession with coconut oil is a secret to no one, and the kind folks at Tropical Traditions seem to have gotten the memo as well.

The more research I did on Tropical Traditions, the more confident I felt in my decision to review their coconut oil....
