Living Pretty Naturally, in Paris – Top 5 Natural Gems in the City of Lights
In the onset of a lovely long weekend, and in my true travel bug fashion, I am jumping on an airplane. This weekend my travels take me to my favorite city in the whole wide world, Paris. Having lived in Paris with one of my besties, I’ve had the amazing opportunity to scope out the best spots for natural beauty goods, fresh organic produce and raw food lunch stops. If you’re an all natural beauty junkie and heading to the {Read More}
Organic Anti-Aging Moisturizer: Intelligent Nutrients Moisturizer Review
I’ve talked loads about anti-aging foods, minerals and night treatments, but what about a moisturizer for during the day? For the past half year I have been trying out different moisturizers for day usage and finally found one that makes me smile. Intelligent Nutrients (IN) is my new hero. They are a million wonderful things, but to start they are 100% nontoxic, certified organic and “intellimune”. Intellimune is a blend of nature’s powerhouse antioxidants including certified organic red raspberry, cranberry, {Read More}
Raw Mock Hummus – Healthy & Yummy Alternative for Veggie Dip
Every so often I get a little creative in the kitchen. What’s not so creative is that it usually involves a blender and some veggies. I am definitely no Martha Stewart — and I’ll take healthy over creative any day; however, this weekend I was both :) I whipped this one up while I was inspired by the raw food restaurant I found here in the North. It is a great, healthy and lower calorie (for those of you who {Read More}
Best Natural Headache Cure – Saje Peppermint Halo Essential Oil Roll-On
There is nothing pretty about headaches, that is for certain. Unfortunately, today I felt a “rager” coming on. I am not a fan of pain killers – or drugs in general – and I often go to great (and sometimes painful) lengths to avoid taking them. But when it comes to headaches, the lengths aren’t great or painful (phewf!). Faithfully, to my rescue, comes my trusty Saje Peppermint Halo roll-on. The oil is a wizard when it comes to easing {Read More}
The Bachelor’s Courtney Robertson Reveals Her Green Smoothie Recipe
I’m a big fan of the Green Juice/Green Smoothie in the morning, in the afternoon… heck, I love them all the time. Last month I blogged about my favorite Green Smoothie Recipe and the beauty benefits of drinking it daily. I am certain this is what celebrities are doing behind closed doors every morning in order to keep themselves looking fit and skin glowing… Ok, and working out 6 hours a day. ;) Well, she may not be a “celebrity” {Read More}
Free Rosehip Oil from LoveLula – Super Model Miranda Kerr Reveals Her Beauty Secret: Rosehip Oil
A few weeks ago I blogged about the beauty benefits of Rosehip Oil for anti-aging and beautiful skin. Well, seems like I’m not the only one who thinks so. Australian Supermodel Miranda Kerr revealed she also relies on Rosehip Oil to keep her skin gorgeous. She was quoted saying: “I like to wearrosehip oil at night. It’s full of that many antioxidants and it really works on a cellular level too to rejuvenate the skin. I put that on at {Read More}
How to Naturally Scent Your Home – The Dangers of Air Fresheners
Before I started this post, I made a promise to myself that I would not rant on for hours about the dangers of artificial air fresheners. I’m going to try my best to honor that. ;) Why Should I Avoid Febreeze, Body Shop & Glade? When it comes to artificial air fresheners – the sprays, the plug ins, the Febreeze, the “scented oils” from The Body Shop – the list of dangerous ingredients are endless. From the aerosols (increased cancer {Read More}
The Best Chia Seed Pudding Recipe – The Benefits of Coconut Milk
I’ve received a few messages and emails from lovelies embarking on the Sugar Free Diet. Having gone through the initial stages of the sugar withdrawal myself, I know how necessary it is to feel like you’re not completely depriving yourself. That being said, this post is dedicated to you. I ran out of almond milk today, and because it is a public holiday in Norway, all the stores are closed. I was craving an afternoon chia seed pudding – the {Read More}
Are You Getting Your Greens? – Trophic Greens Supplement Review
While nothing beats getting your fresh greens, supplementing them when you’re on the go isn’t a bad idea. I’ve shopped around a lot and had a hard time finding a greens supplement that did not contain sweeteners, preservatives, wheat or yeast. Because of the “greeny” taste, many products come with some form of sweetener (watch out for that). I don’t mind the taste, since I usually add it to my green smoothie which has enough fruit to over power any {Read More}

Natural Lip Treatments – Madara Ecolips Regenerating Lip Balm Review
If you’re similar to me, you hate the feeling of naked lips…or even worse, the feeling of dry ones. I think I inherited a somewhat OCD compulsion from my beloved mom, who is the Queen of lip-care. As a result, I always have a chap-stick, lip gloss or other lip product on hand, no matter what I’m doing or where I’m going – including to bed. That being said, before catching my Z’s, I have to have something on my {Read More}
Natural Sunscreen for Face – Kimberly Sayer Ultra Light Facial Moisturizer SPF 30
I love the sun as much as the next girl, but being fair skinned has made me especially aware of the damage that it can cause. So, I guess it is no surprise that I am known to wear SPF 110 on anything that sees daylight. Over the last year, however, I have found that using a natural SPF 30 suffices for day-to-day use, and if I’m out hiking, skiing or at the beach, a reapplication (or two) does the {Read More}
