I love scented candles, and although they seem like a safe way to fill your home with your favorite aroma, I was surprised to learn that many of them are made with paraffin wax which can release toxic chemicals into the air such as acetone, benzene and toluene when burned. The aforementioned chemicals can be found in diesel fuel emissions, which can reach deep into … Continue reading Health Dangers of Scented Candles

I was happy to learn that CND Vinylux is 5-free, although … Continue reading What does 5-Free Polish Mean?
I want to share something with you all: I juice regularly…my hair, that is. I was at a beauty trade show in Las Vegas last summer when I received a tiny sample of Oyin Handmade Greg Juices Leave-in Hair Tonic, which has made my curl-refresher game strong.

Let’s face it, body odor is a big deal, and if you live a very active lifestyle like I do, smelling fresh and clean can sometimes be highly dependent on your underarm scent. When I decided to start using more natural beauty products, deodorant was one of the biggest challenges for a couple of reasons: 1. It’s expensive. One of the leading deodorant brands on … Continue reading Natural Brand Product Review: Primal Pit Paste
