Natural Beauty Product "Reviews"

 

Good Morning, Afternoon, and Evening. (: Wherever you may be at this time. I am finally posting the "natural products" I've been using over the last 6-9 months. Whatever the reason you decide to gut your beauty product regime, or all those house cleaning products you've been using since 1999- The greatest thing is that you just finally started to switch to more natural products.

I think, my personal reason I've hit this insane 180 of my life was my baby boy. When I was pregnant, I did so much research, started to switch to a more "real food" diet, and realized that all my beauty products were crap. I had amazing expensive products-but I was paying for chemicals that would hurt me in the long run. My son is here, and is now 8 1/2 months old, and about 9 months ago, I started juicing-which is the most amazing thing ever. I have Slowly switched to these products below, but have SO MANY more on my list that I want to use! When you make a lifestyle change, it is extremely overwhelming. I would have had to toss every single beauty and cleaning product I had in my house. Although that would be the best thing, I could not afford to do that. So I gradually made my changes, and am still doing that currently! The old, old me, would just pour bleach on anything I thought needed a real cleaning. haha So bad!!! When you have a baby around-that is the biggest NO!! I feel so comfortable and confident, knowing that the products I use will not harm my son, if he happened to inhale it, or somehow be to close-I know he's okay. Even though they're natural, you still don't want to lay them around! Duh. (: 

One personal advice when switching to all natural products: Do it gradually! Don't kill yourself over it. It's very easy to. There are so many avenues to a more natural-real food lifestyle. Food, beauty products, cleaning products, etc. To go out and buy all of them at once is impossible- or not if you have that kind of cash.  I wanted to post some products I use, to encourage you, and to show you its not hard or that much more expensive to use safe and natural products that work just as well as your old stuff! In fact, its much more simple! The products below are all current products I use- Here is my personal review on each.

13.Giovanni hair shine spray-love it, makes my hair shine and feel great

14.Kiss my face-face wash- love it-used to only use the bottle forms, but I safe SO MUCH by using a bar soap.
