Natural Immune System Booster

February 18, 2010

I owe Sarah a big thank you for her latest health recommendation (she really does give the best ones!), what I’ll call a “miracle potion” because it got Ryan over about a month long off and on cold/illness in two days. It is an immune system booster called Dr. Dunner Sambu Guard and I bought [...]

Natural & Gentle Shave Foam

January 29, 2010

I recently purchased a great product from the health store- the healthiest, most natural shave foam I’ve seen yet: J.R. Liggett’s Shaving Foam. It comes in a non-aerosol plastic foam bottle (so no rust stains in the tub!) and the top screws off so it is completely reusable. As you might guess there are only [...]

Refreshing Lemonade Kefir Soda

January 5, 2010

While at the Wise Traditions 2009 conference, I had the opportunity to sample and purchase a deliciously healthy and refreshing beverage from the vendor Burgie’s Organics. The Lemon Kefir Soda is a naturally fermented (living) probiotic drink and has only four ingredients: distilled water, organic lemons, kefir grains, and honey. Although I tried many of [...]

Handmade Soaps, Lotion, & More

December 8, 2009

I was first introduced to the Best Bath Store by my friend, Amanda, who loves their products. I visited the website and found out that they are an extremely small business, with only five employees located in MA. All of the products are handmade and hand packaged at this facility in a very “green” manner. [...]

Tea Tree Oil Floss

July 21, 2009

I came across a good find at the health store a while back that’s now become a bathroom staple. It’s a tea tree oil floss, or more technically “dental tape” made by Desert Essence. At the price of $2.99, it was actually cheaper than the CleanPaste I was buying so I had to give it [...]

Natural Hair Conditioner, Shave Gel, Lotion & More- All in One Bottle!

July 5, 2009

I picked up a fun product at the health store last week called “Tate’s the Natural Miracle Conditioner”. Although I was a bit skeptical of its miracle-working abilities, I decided to give the small 5 oz bottle a chance at the price of $6.49. After trying it out, I certainly don’t regret it- I’ve never [...]

June 24, 2009

I was lucky enough to run into a wonderful vendor, Dee Bellini, at the local Artisan’s market again this year. She is the founder of Bars by Bellini and has an offering of handmade natural skin care products that work extremely well. I’m writing this to tell you the best part- you can now buy [...]

Preserve Your Natural Soap

June 9, 2009

Since homemade natural soap can be significantly more expensive than unhealthy mass-produced bars, I try to use mine down to the very last suds. My new “soap sock” pictured here has definitely helped me out in doing this.
I found the soap sock on Etsy.com for about $4 and it is knit of very soft yarn [...]

Natural Hair Wax

June 4, 2009

If you’re looking to shine up your “do” or add that piecy, sexy look to your hair, you’re in for a “natural” treat. Finding a healthy and homemade hair wax was not an easy task (since so many of these mainstream products are filled with nasty ingredients), but my new little tub was well worth [...]

Healthy Skincare for Baby

May 21, 2009

If you remember back a few months ago to my Erzulie Cosmetics post on beautiful, truly natural makeup, you may have thought that it couldn’t get any better (I know I didn’t- and I’m still enjoying ALL of the products!). But excitingly enough, it does. Rhonda Demars, founder of Erzulie Cosmetics, has also created a [...]
