Not only is your skin the largest organ on your body, but it also serves as a protective barrier. This makes it incredibly important to pay special attention to what you put on your body. When Ariel contacted me to review her products I was thrilled! I love discovering new natural skincare products.
Your hairdo says a lot about you. If its unkempt, people think you’ve just rolled out of bed – if it’s styled and gorgeous, people think you have it all together. Sadly, people are constantly making an assessment of you based upon your appearance. I haven’t been one to care a whole lot about other people’s opinions of me, but I do care about my personal appearance. Whether you’re a working woman or a stay-at-home mom, it’s important to make time to maintain your appearance, which all attributes to your overall health.
I have been on the hunt for a Paraben free shampoo and conditioner. I was so happy when I came across WOW Skin Science! They have not only a paraben free, but also a sulphate free shampoo and conditioner. Both smell absolutely fantastic and I’ve been loving them so far!
The skin is the largest organ on our body. It protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat and cold. So why are we so quick to slather it with products that contain all kinds of harmful chemicals?!
I never paid much attention to what I put on and in my body until I became pregnant two years ago! It was then that I thought to myself, “What is in this stuff?”; “Will it harm my baby or me?” Once I started doing some researching, I was appalled at how everyday items, such as toothpaste, cosmetics and even face soaps, contained ingredients like aluminum, parabens and phthalates. These ingredients are toxic to the reproductive system and are known to also disrupt the endocrine system.
Needless to say, I was thrilled to discover TruSelf Organics! I’m blown away by their promise to bring their customers only all-natural and organic products. Their motto is “You only get one body, so why not treat it right?” I could not agree more with this statement! I recently tried the Soothing Mask accompanied by their Bamboo Utensil kit, and I instantly fell in love!
Sleep deprivation is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to motherhood. It is a rewarding job, but those sleepless nights can certainly catch up with you. Not only does mothering challenge your mental state (Did I put the clothes in the washer? Remember the kids appointments?…The mental lists are endlessly exhausting), but it also takes a toll physically.
I’ve never had dark circles until I became a mom! I may have stayed out and partied before my little peanut came along, but I got my hours of uninterrupted sleep. I’m lucky to get four consecutive hours of sleep! Sleeping in has become a distant memory. I guess that’s where they coined the term “beauty sleep”, because your body really does needs it in more ways than one.
If you’re lucky (note the sarcasm) and you have a fomo (fear of missing out) child like me, then you can kiss your restful nights goodbye. I recently found a company called Villa Floriani! They have the perfect solution for those tired Mommy under-eye bags!
While I was pregnant my skin completely changed (it was oily)- now postpartum my skin has drastically changed again and is drier than ever. I sought out to find a night cream that worked, but was also was safe for my skin and my baby.
