l'occitane Skin Supple Oil is ahhhhhmaZING


From L'Occitane site: "Enriched with powerful almond proteins and oil and essential oils of peppermint, palmarosa and Immortelle, Supple Skin Oil works to protect the skin's support tissue and fight against loss of elasticity. Deeply nourishing formula can be used to prevent the formation of stretch marks"
EVERY time I go to the mall or Sephora who now carries L'Occitane..I make sure to visit this exact product. It is 100 times more luxurious than L'Occitane's hand cream or foot cream which I use both. The scent alone is pure luxury and makes me think of a product I may find if I went to Geneva or Switzerland and stayed at a Spa Resort there. Never have been , but if I could imagine, that would be where. I cannot wait to own my first bottle!!

Jane Iredale Amazing Base


I recently hit the timing of needing more foundation, which I prefer using powders and building. While in times of being on a budget I depend on MAC superFiX, but I was delighted to nab my favorite Jane Iredale on the net for a great deal! This powder is normally in the mid $40's and there is no local retailer I know of, so I have to pay shipping. That makes for an expensive powder that will be gone in a few months. Anyhow, I love the coverage, natural long lasting finish that this product gives. It is also paraben free and mineral based..so that is a super plus!

Coconut Oil for Skin and Hair!


In a venture of converting ever so slowly to an all natural way of living, I have recently found this to be phenomenal!
You may not be aware how all of the creams and serums etc.. put toxins and free radicals into your body. Basically, all of those ingredients you cannot pronounce and a single ingredient "paraben" are REALLY not good for you.
There is a solution, and women all over the world already know of this one, I just happened to recently catch on. I have had the thought.."where have you been all my life"!
Not only is organic Coconut Oil a superb oil to cook with, which is how I started my use with it anyhow. It is magic for your skin!! I have been using this nightly as a moisturizer and in my hair as a treatment.
Coconut oil has anti free radical properties and has left my skin feeling more like a babies butt than anything else has since I can remember.
There is ALOT online to read about regarding this...but I can say..I have been using it and i LOVE LOVE LOVE. Not only do I love the natural part of it, that I am not putting toxins in, and that it makes my skin silky smooth and retains the moisture...the price sure beats the creams I usually spend anywhere from $20-$70 for!
