We all know that we should use sunscreen, and we should use it every day. But, how do we know which sunscreen to use? There are so many formulations on the market nowadays! When I was growing up, spending basically my whole entire life by the poolside, there was tanning oil and sunscreen. Since I was a very pale person, I knew tanning oil was not for me, and I needed the strongest sunscreen ...
The Benefits of Wine in Skincare
Benefits of Wine was inspired by Vine Vera. I received press samples to facilitate the post. All opinions are my own. In recent years, scientists have discovered that there are many benefits of wine. Yep, wine is actually good for us, in moderation of course. It promotes heart health, reduces the risk of diabetes, cuts the risk of stroke and colon cancer, and so much more. It just ...
An Introduction to Aromatherapy
This aromatherapy introduction was inspired by 21 Drops. I received press samples. All opinions are my own. My mom is kind of a free spirited hippy.

Doesn’t mom, the ...
Natural Deodorant with Weleda
In the past year, I have made the switch from commercial deodorants to using a natural deodorant. Why? I have a secret to tell you. At some point in the past year, I have developed an allergy to commercial deodorants. Because we’re friends, I’ll spare you all the gory details. Suffice it to say, it was rather unpleasant. I had been a solid deodorant kind of girl, and went to a roll on. ...
All Natural Skincare with Primavera
The skin is our largest organ. I think that we sometimes forget that whatever we put on our skin is absorbed into our bodies. I know that I am most definitely guilty of ignoring that.
