  I was recently a maid of honor in my lovely sister Erika's wedding, and I received the above bottle of oil as one of several gifts for my troubles (because visiting California for the first time and being introduced to beautiful spas, fancy cocktails, and amazing food was such a hassle...PSYCH).

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

Link to Alaffia Handcrafted Shea Butter Review

  I like my shea butter like I like my men: unrefined. But seriously, as far as I'm concerned, unrefined is where it's at when it comes to oils/butters.

Shea butter receives a nonexistent hazard score of 0 in the Cosmetics Database. 1. It’s free of parabens, phenoxyethanol, and sulfates. 2. It’s vegan and cruelty-free. 3. It’s gluten-free. 4. As with all of Alaffia's products, this one is fair trade certified. Product Description(provided...

Sure enough, my mom pointed out my lobster face to me a few hours later in the condo. Luckily, I had my Karen's Botanicals Rehydrating Aloe Vera Lotion in my toiletry bag and went to the bathroom right away to tend to...

After successfully reaching out to the company about trying their products, I picked the three that first caught my eye (they all looked so dreamy that it could've taken hours to decide otherwise). Today I'll be reviewing the first of those three that I chose---the Fresh Fig Organic Body Lotion. Ingredients (provided at nourishusda.com)- "Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Organic SDA 38B (Alcohol Denat), Organic Butyrospermum Parkii...
