Ok, ok, so this review makes me a little late to the party. Scoring rave reviews from every corner of the internet, Kjaer Weis’ Cream Foundation is certainly leading the pack in “must-have” makeup. I got my hands on this a few months ago (from one of my fave natural beauty boutiques: Eco Diva Beauty), but as a true environmentalist – and because I love anticipation – I waited to finish up some other products before I dove into what would {Read More}

Facial Oil Feature: Kimia Exquisite Rejuvenating Facial System Review for Anti-Aging
January 26, 2013 by 1 Comment
I love natural facial oils. They are the most pure, safe and effective way to moisturize your face and body. I try a great deal of products, but without fail, before bed I’m always using an oil of some sort (often, it is rosehip oil). While I am happy with my rose oil, in my true “Exploratory Kate” fashion (basically a desire for the superlative of everything), I went on the hunt for something more luxurious, and this is what I found: The {Read More}

June 9, 2012 by 2 Comments
Good Morning, Gorgeous! It’s morning and I just finished drinking some ginger tea, so I thought it would be appropriate to share some of the wonderful beauty properties ginger possesses. Why is Ginger Beneficial for Beauty? I always talk about beauty coming from the inside out – literally – and that is one of the reasons why ginger is such a critical element to add to your beauty regimen. Ginger is one of the best digestive aids that money can {Read More}
How to Naturally Scent Your Home – The Dangers of Air Fresheners
May 4, 2012 by 9 Comments
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}

Beauty Benefits of Turmeric – The Best Beautifying Spice
April 13, 2012 by 2 Comments
In a follow-up to yesterday’s post, I wanted to continue talking about ways to clear up our skin and prevent many signs of aging, naturally – from the inside out. The Sacred Spice Most people think of turmeric as a spice used in Indian and South Asian food, but not necessarily as a medicine or beauty remedy. The truth is, tumeric is one of the most powerful beauty AND health supplements out there (are you noticing the correlation between beauty {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}

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}
