Prime Natural Hemp Seed Oil

Image
Prime Natural Hemp Seed Oil Anyone else have eczema or psoriasis? I happen to have it behind my ears and all over my scalp, and I am really finding reli ef using this hemp seed oil from Prime Natural. It soothes my irritated skin and reduces inflammation. Hemp seed oil has so many na tural and holistic healing properties,  and has a 3:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 which is what helps to reduce inflammation caused by psoriasis,  eczema or dermatitis.  This oil has a light greenish yellow color to it and kind of smells like raw sunflower seeds.  I actually like the natural smell it has. I found it absorbs nicely and doesn't leave a greasy feeing behind on my skin or in my hair.  Hemp seed oil is also know for reducing anxiety, and depression and can stabilize your mood.  I haven't tried it for it's pain relief properties yet,  but next time I have a psoriatic arthritis flare I will be certain to try it.  If you are into green beauty, or holistic healin

SWLKG Sunless Tanning Lotion

SWLKG   Self Tanner Sunless Tanning Lotion with Organic & Natural Ingredients for Flawless Darker Bronzer Skin   For some reason my legs don't tan as well or as fast as the rest of my body, so I like to use a sunless tanner to help even out my skin color, especially during the hot weather! Does anyone else have this problem? I also like it to even out my tan lines from wearing different bathing suits. This sunless tanner glides on really easy and sheer and gradually develops a natural color over the next few hours. One of the things I was most impressed with about this sunless tanner is the scent of it.  Most tanners I have used have a strong unpleasant chemical smell.  This SWLKG Sunless Tanner has a very light refreshing scent.   After applying you just have to wait 4 hours before you can go in water.  I often apply before bed and wake up with a nice sun kissed glow on my otherwise pale legs. And for all of my vegan and cruelty free friends, this one has

Nightly Skincare Routine & Castor Oil Eyebrow Journey ~ 6 Month Check In

Image
Has anyone else suffered the ill effects of the thin 90s eyebrow trend?  I have.  And I have been trying to grow my eyebrows back in very unsuccessfully since, until now.  I am 6 months into my new eyebrow journey using good ole plain castor oil, and it is the first thing in decades that has actually worked for me. Check out the video below for some progress pictures. Now onto my night time skincare routine.  This is when I apply the castor oil to my eyebrows and it is the very last step I do before going to bed each night. Equate Beauty Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover:  Most days I wear makeup, so I naturally start my nightly skincare with a good and inexpensive makeup remover.  I have tried so many over the years, but I always come back to this one because it is budget friendly and it just plain works.  You can find it here:  https://www.walmart.com/ip/Equate-Beauty-Oil-Free-Eye-Makeup-Remover-5-5-oz/39139097 Clinique Facial Soap:  After I remove my eye makeup, I alw

Natural Beauty Products I've Switched To

Image
In an effort to downsize my beauty collection and routine, I have recently switched out some of my regular beauty products to much more natural and sustainable products.  I am adding less chemicals to my very sensitive skin, and I believe natural products are much better for our environment.   Prime Natural Tamanu Oil & Cold Cough Congestion Relief Roll-On: Here are two amazing products from Prime Natural that I have recently switched into my natural beauty routine. For the full video click the link above.  I have dermatitis on my scalp  which is caused by a form of eczema that causes inflamed skin and itchiness.  This Tamanu oil really reduces the inflammation when I rub it into my scalp and definitely calms the itches.  It is also great to reduce inflammation caused from acne, cuts and scrapes, or even bug bites.  The Cold Cough Congestion Relief Roll-on is amazing for seasonal allergy congestion and stuffiness from colds.  It is a must have, especially

Stress Relief Essential Oil Review & Yardley London

Image
This Stress Relief Bl end essential oil from Prime Natural is incredibly soothing. It is 100% pure and undiluted therapeutic grade essential oil for aromatherapy.    This blend is supposed to be an excellent natural solution to reduce stress, and to uplift and relax you. When it is inhaled, it can provide uplifting and stabilizing effects on your emotions.   I like it in my diffuser and even like to add a few drops to my lotion at nig ht. The notes are pink grapefruit, bergamot, patchouli, sweet orange, and ylang ylang. You can definitely smell the all of the notes and somehow they really make a beautiful and  harmonious fragrance.

Morning Pep Pure Birch Xylitol

Image
I have been on a keto low carb lifestyle for over a year now, and I have learned so much about what foods will keep me in ketosis and still satisfy my tastebuds.  I have used countless sugar substitutes and let me tell you, they are not all created equally.  Some are actually higher on the glycemic index than sugar!!!  Others are great for keto, but really don't taste very good.  I was surprised how well Morning Pep xylitol placed on the glycemic index scale, especially since it actually tastes great! I have been using this xylitol to make all of my keto "treats" like almond flour shortbread cookies, whipped cream mousse, low carb peanut butter cookies and even my keto pancakes.  It literally replaces sugar in any recipe.  Morning Pep sent me these 2 bags of xylitol to try and my mother in law loved my treats so much that I gave her the smaller bag to try in her own home.  Needless to say, we are both hooked! If you are on a low carb or keto diet, I highly re
