Summer & Life Essentials

Hello again. 

Today I am double posting. I have been noticing some improved hair and skin these days and I felt like maybe I would share what I've been using - just incase you are a product junky like me. I think one of the biggest changes is I have been using a lot of all natural / organic products on my face. And I have been eating a lot more organically when I can. And less meat. Who knew?! :) 

1.Alba Coconut Milk Face Wash 

I love, love, love this face wash. I have no idea what kind of skin I have... my skin seems to react well with some things and not with others. But, since using this product I have actually seen a difference in my skin. And it smells amazing. 

* Made with coconut milk, an ingredient abundant with natural antiseptic fatty acids, and papaya fruit extract to gently remove impurities without drying sensitive skin.

2. Mary Kay Day / Night Solution 

This stuff is wonderful for all ages. I started using it just around my entire eye... and now I use it all over my face. You never know where those lines / wrinkles are looking to appear. I use both the day and night solution. I have also used the face wash and microdermabrasion cream and those are both terrific. 

*Think of it as a veil of defense. With an SPF of 25, this innovative product helps prevent sun damage such as lines and discoloration before they occur by blocking damaging UVA/UVB rays. A calming peptide helps relax expression lines.

3.Fresh : Rose Marigold Floral Water 

Fresh has to DIE FOR products. I love them all but they are pretty $$$. I asked for this Rose Water for Christmas and my lovely sister got it for me. :) I use it every day for hydration and I can truly tell a difference.

*ROSE MARIGOLD FLORAL WATER delivers instantly hydrating and toning mists of pure and active rosewater. This gentle floral water hydrates the skin for a plump and toned complexion. The natural aromatic experience adds a mood-enhancing dimension. Ideal to re-hydrate the skin throughout the day, set makeup and to calm and soothe.  

4. Moroccan Oil  

LIFE SAVER. I basically soak my hair in this stuff after showering. I would use all their products if they weren't so dang $$$$$$. 

5. L'Oreal Leave-In Conditioner ( Sulfate Free ) 

This is a new product I have been using. I am SO happy that L'Oreal has come out with a Sulfate Free line. I use the Shampoo & Conditioner too. It's cheap and it's SO GREAT. Sulfate Free is THE WAY TO GO. I got mine at Target. They even sell L'Oreal Argan Oil. I usually spend way too much on my shampoo... not any more. :) 

6. Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray

Easy Breezy..... Even if you don't have super wavy or curly hair - I imagine this stuff would still add texture :) It's wonderful. 

7. Kerastase Nutritive Nectar Thermique

My hair dresser puts this dreamy stuff in my hair and I finally caved and bought it last time. It's addicting. I put it in my hair even if I'm not blow - drying it. It smells so good too!!

8. Green Superfood

Since I started juicing / eating more veggies / fruits and less meat / Diet Dr. Pepper / coffee, I have been looking for other things that will improve my health and skin. I put 2 scoops of this powder in a water bottle before I leave for work and I drink it all day long. It gives me energy and it forces me drink water. I just keep refilling my bottle and the powder lasts all day. It's a great alternative to coffee and it keeps your tummy satisfied. * Not a meal replacement.

9. Aloe Vera Juice

I splash about 2 tablespoons of this in my "Green Superfood" drink, twice a day. Aloe Vera is great for you - Digestive Health, Immune System Strength, Antioxidant Support, Nitrate Reduction Support, Absorption/Bioavailability. 

10. Kiss My Face Natural Sunscreen

Paraben Free - All Natural - smells amazing - and protects! I use this like lotion.... everyday - even when I'm sitting at my desk all day :( 

I hope everyone is preparing for the SUMMER!! I laid out on my lunch break today and almost couldn't get up. I wish I could do that EVERYDAY. :( If anyone has any products they love - tell me about them!! I'm a product junky. Share the wealth. :) 

Have a great night!!
