Favorite product Friday

I've decided to share with yall a product every Friday that has been the highlight of my week. . . Its a new idea that sort of popped into my head but I'm willing to try it out so bear with me jejeje <3

This week my "favorite product" has literally saved me more than once from some crazy situations! And it issssssss Dr. Bronner's Castile soap (in peppermint) OMG OMG OMG that's about all that I can think of right now jejeje no but seriously this stuff is AMAZING. . . it has a MILLION uses and I'll share a few with yall

Number one: I tend to always get myself into problems pretty easily and usually it has something to with my appearance (more on this in the future LOL). This week I decided I would skip my usual hair mask of an avocado and extra virgin olive oil for virgin coconut oil and jojoba oil. . . That in and of itself is a recipe for disaster jeje to make it all worse I accidentally put it to much coconut oil, and I decided to sleep in it! So when I woke up I had to be somewhere and my regular shampoo bar wasn't getting the greasiness out and my hair sort of looked like this

BUT thankfully I remembered that I had a recipe for an awesome grease cutting shampoo when your hair needs extra bounce from being to greasy and it SAVED ME! LOL here is the recipe

* ½ cup water
* ½ cup Dr. Bronners liquid castile soap*
* 3 tbsp aloe vera gel
* 1 tsp jojoba or grapeseed oil

I whipped up a small batch of this and BOOM the grease came right out, then using my vinegar rinse my hair was photo ready LOL The coconut and jojoba did its job for sure though, my hair has never been softer!


Number two: I completely ran out of my favorite peppermint soap from the lovely Mrs. April (light of the moon) and didn't know what to do so I took my peppermint castile soap with me to the shower and only added like 4 drops of it to my loofah and it created the perfect amount of lather for a great bath :) It'll be excellent to hold me over until I can get more bar soap (which I prefer over liquid)


There are a million other amazing things you can do with DBCS which I will get to another time, but I wanted to share with yall how much im LOVING it right now more than ever jejeje YAY for non greasy healthy hair <3 

I was so happy I snapped a picture (this is my hair au-natural so forgive the poofiness LOL)

 Hope yall enjoyed my fave product of the week, have a FABULOUS Friday :)

Deception, Devastation, and Delight

Soooo If you've all read my crazy ramblings about LUSH your pretty familiar with how much the store excites me. . . But lately I've been trying to be more natural and get away from chemicals that are harmful. With great anticipation of what I would find I began researching about some ingredients I read on the labels. I was shocked and perplexed with what I found! LUSH is supposed to be an ALL NATURAL, COMPLETELY CHEMICAL FREE COMPANY RIGHT???? YES RIGHT if your interested in reading what I read you can click HERE and HERE I find it to be disgusting and extremely deceiving! All this time Ive been wasting my money thinking I finally found the answer to perfect natural body products.

Its ok though because I have 1 AMAZING friend and 1 AMAZING company that IS completely natural. OOO what a pain it was to go through all my stuff and get rid of it all :(

I have 1 soap bar holding me over by the amazing Mrs. April from Light of the moon! And an awesome detangler from The all natural face! ! ! !

I have some pictures of the recent haul I've made to replace the "poison" I was using :)

THE ALL NATURAL FACE HAUL INCLUDES: Leave in conditioner & detangler, Crystallized Essence Lavender and some samples (Vegan gel eyeliner in midnight plum, and softening mud mask)

I cant wait to use this! YAY

I cannot wait to try out everything :)

AMAZING SCENT!!!!

LIGHT OF THE MOON HAUL INCLUDES: All natural peppermint deodorant, peppermint lotion bar, peppermint shampoo bar, peppermint bar soap (and some awesome cute little lotion bars, she even included some sugar scrubs for my momma because it was her birthday)

Im sorry it looks all frazzle, as soon as I got the stuff I sampled everything LOL

This is the most amazing shampoo bar! My curly hair needs a little umph and this is perfect :) I dont even need conditioner with this!

ISNT THIS THE MOST GORGEOUS SOAP EVER?

Soo Im going to review what im tried so far :) For the All natural face I tried the perfume crystals and I dont even have words for it! ! ! The lavender is strong but after you smell the lavender you get a bug hint of warm vanilla that resembles vanilla ice cream to me LOL

Ive also tried the eyeliner which I will be posting pictures of soon :)

Ill be posting what I think about the conditioner/detangler soon!

For the light of the moon Ive tried well EVERYTHING! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

The deodorant is PERFECT, Ive been needing a new one and this hits the mark for sure

The soap is way fabulous, I dont even miss LUSH! Its beyond awesome and will be buying from her OFTEN LOL :) Even my family is using it

The lotion bar is my favorite thing it melts on my skin and keeps my elbows smooth all day (I have dry elbows )

The shampoo bar is a new staple in my shower jejejejeje!

Overall I have to say Light of the moon and The all naturals face is sooooooo amazing I dont and wont miss LUSH at all <3

HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

p.s remember some sugar scrubs are included in my giveaway if you haven't entered yet!

A lush life...

Hey yall :) I know you've all heard me talk about LUSH before :) and if you haven't than this post will fill you in jejeje <3

So I was running really low on soap so I stopped by Lush to get a little to hold me over until I can try out some awesome new sites Ive found on Etsy. . . (more on that later) I picked up 3 different kinds of soap today. **Sexy Peel, Figs and leaves, and Ice Blue** Ive tried Figs and leaves before and I LOVE it. It literally had real fig and leaves in it which work as an amazing exfoliant. The Sexy peel is sooooo incredibly full of citrus which is so awesome, and the Ice blue is like peppermint and coconut goodness! I'm so pumped to use them now jeje

Here are some pictures of the soap haul <3

all three :)

I also got sidetracked and picked up a bath bomb (Mrs. Whippy), a bath melt (Happy blooming), and a solid Lotion bar (shimmy shimmy) with tonssssssssssss of glittery goodness! All three of these smell so amazing but my favorite is the shimmy shimmy bar, it sort of smells like a mix of strawberries and white chocolate YUM!

Mrs. Whippy bath bomb

Bath melt (3 uses)

Shimmy shimmy

The only problem with Lush is that when I buy it and take it home it magically dissipates! I snuck up to one of the culprits as she tried running away with all three bars of soap! I'm seriously going to have to create a stash or something...

sneaky Hannha. . . hmm

Sample of "the godmother"

The whole kaboodle...

Well I'm hoping I didn't bore you with this post jejeje I hope you all had a Fabulous Tuesday

Veronica grace <3

How green can you go...

Hey Yall! Hope your having an AwEsOmE weekend. I just finished reading another amazing post by the lovely Mrs. Melinda over at Inspiration Earth ~ A Journey of Simplicity, you have to check THIS post out it is seriously so amazing and has helped me make big choices and changes :)

Who knew there were so many uses for the amazing one and only BAKING SODA? WHAT!!! I used to mix it in with my shampoo once a week as a "clarifying shampoo" since my curly hair is unmanageable most of the time I use a lot of different natural oils and such to keep the curls intact so my scalp gets a little oily sometimes. It works wonders and makes my curls all bouncy and healthy :)


So its been really rainy this week, a couple neighborhoods around here have flooded. Soooo Ive had a ton of free time to take random pictures of Hannah and what not.

trying to cover her nakedness lol <3

Well Guys I'm not sure I have anything else to say right now LOL <3

I hope you guys have a WONDERFUL Sunday

The All Natural Face Review

Okay so as you all may or may not know when it comes to bath and body or makeup products I ALWAYS try to be eco-friendly and natural. There was a time when I didn't care about what I put on my face or body, those days are long gone because as time went on I realized how much I was harming myself by using "poison" on myself. You see it took one trip to the mall to figure this all out, I went to a store called LUSH and asked the sales lady what products they sold, she casually mentioned it was all natural bath and body products.

She showed me the labels and gave me a run down on how today people don't even realize what the put on their skin. After that I literally went home and threw out everything that had silicone's, parabens, alcohol and all the rest of those bad things I cant spell LOL Then one day when I was searching on etsy for a face wash (because unfortunately all of LUSH's face washes make me break out) I found this AMAZING store called The all natural face, and of course being the crazy person that I am I got totally distracted and bought her mineral  bronzers instead of a face wash! ! !

But Crystal (the owner) was sooooo sweet and sent me not 1 not 2 but 3 face wash samples which I LOVE! ! ! Here are some pictures of the awesome products I got which by the way are vegan <3 I shop more online now than I did before because its a lot more inexpensive... Which is another reason why I rapidly fell in love with TANF

you dont even know how much i loveeeeeeee these bronzers

I cant wait to buy a full size of this stuff!!!!

The face wash is called papayas and cream :) YUMMY!

Sooo I guess what im trying to say is I LOVE THE ALL NATURAL FACE! ! ! I cant wait to buy more goodies, she seriously has EVERYTHING in her store. Not only does she have an etsy store but she also has her own website.
