It’s the late afternoon and like clockwork, I start to get the need for a pick-me-up. This is the time when you need to be prepared. If you’re not, you’ll find yourself reaching for that coffee or sugar-laden plastic-wrapped snack. Before you do, try to think about how glorious your skin will feel in a week’s time when you’ve managed to cut out sugar and refined foods… Why Are Alkaline Bodies Healthier? Up until this point, we haven’t chatted much {Read More}
Best 100% Natural Moisturizer for Body and Hair – Benefits of Coconut Oil
April 17, 2012 by 8 Comments
Visiting one of my girlfriends in London last week, I saw a funny looking jar in the bathroom…one that I usually find in my kitchen. Sitting there a top some beauty products was a big mason jar full of coconut oil ready for slathering on her bod post shower. She raved, so I had to try. Admittedly I’ve thought about it before and used it on my feet as an over night treatment, but never thought to try it as {Read More}

Best Natural Anti-Acne & Anti-Aging Secret – Sugar Free Diet
April 12, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Sugar is bad. We all know it. It causes inflammation (which promotes both aging and disease), suppresses our immune system and our human growth hormone (the hormone that keeps us young). Not to mention, it also raises our insulin levels and promotes glycation (which essentially speeds up the aging process). It is one of the easiest culprits to target but one of the hardest additives to change in our diet; however, once you do, a world of difference in your {Read More}
Best Probiotic: MegaFood’s MegaFlora Review
March 26, 2012 by 8 Comments
As we all know, having beautiful skin is largely correlated by how healthy we are on the inside. Heck, I’d even say there’s causation. :) For this reason, I’ll be periodically blogging about good things to put in your body (such as the Mighty Green Smoothie). Why Do I Need Probiotics? Today it’s all about the probiotics. I’m a huge proponent of taking probiotics to help rid your intestines of toxins, improve your immune system and help build up the {Read More}
Natural Eyeshadow: Dr. Hauschka Stone Eyeshadow Palette Review
March 24, 2012 by 2 Comments
Creating a naturally pretty look has a lot to do with your skin, but also your eyes. Using colours that play up the eye colour instead of distract from it, is the best way to go. I have always found that for my fair skin, a nice grey or matte brown eyeshadow and a pale lip gloss works well for me. So, when I found this eye shadow pallet I fell a little bit in love. Why Dr. Haushka? Dr. {Read More}
Best Eyelash Curler: Shiseido Eyelash Curler Review
March 23, 2012 by 1 Comment
Although this post might be shying away from the “natural” it is still very much beauty oriented — and I had to share this one with you. I am an eyelash girl. I LOVE big thick and gorgeous eyelashes. I go through mascara like it is my day job, but before that is applied I always grab the essential: the eyelash curler. You already think I’m going to tell you about Shu Uemura, right? Well, no, it isn’t. THERE IS {Read More}

Natural Shampoo: Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Shampoo for Dry Hair Review
March 12, 2012 by 2 Comments
I have really long hair. I’m not talking below the shoulders; more often than not my hair is almost hitting my bellybutton, so for me, shampoo is a big HUGE deal. I have always had a difficult time keeping the entire length of it shiny and soft (naturally) until I found this glorious product. Aubrey Organic’s Honeysuckle Rose Shampoo for Dry Hair is brilliant. It contains sweet macadamia nut and rose oil, so it smells lovely and the pretty honeysuckle {Read More}

Many of us know that drinking green smoothies do great things for our skin, energy and everything else in between; however, not many people know that this is probably one of the best breakfasts for which your body can ask. Packed with nutrients and essential vitamins, it is no wonder you start the day feeling more energetic than you did the day before.

Natural Dry Shampoo: Lulu Organics Hair Powder Review
March 5, 2012 by 1 Comment
We all run a little late sometimes, and lets face it, washing your hair every day is one of the quickest ways to strip it of its natural shine. That is where dry shampoo comes in – and thank goodness for it! Over the past while I’ve used a multitude of variations of dry shampoo, until I realized that most of the powders had Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate – an ingredient boasting a dangerous number 9 on the Cosmetics Database safety {Read More}
Best Natural Cold Cure: Joy of the Mountains Oil of Oregano
March 2, 2012 by 4 Comments
When the seasons start changing I usually feel cold symptoms coming on. But they tend to stay at bay because of my love (and hate) of Oil of Oregano. This immune boosting miracle oil has prevented and healed sickness for me on numerous occasions. And the best part is that it is completely natural. What is Oil of Oregano Good For? Essentially Oil of Oregano discourages the growth of harmful microrganisms, parasites, and viruses. It also is great for candida, {Read More}

Burt’s Bees Natural Tinted Lip Balm Review
March 1, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I’m obsessed with having something on my lips. As soon as the lip gloss, lip stick, chap stick, coconut oil – whatever – has worn off, I immediately beeline for the cosmetics cabinet or rifle through my purse. I’m not a fan of dark colours, so using lipstick has never been much of an issue for me. However, I am addicted to glosses. For those of you that do wear lipstick keep heed warning: lead is an ingredient in many {Read More}
