SWAP IT OUT : Are you looking for an alternative to your Fabric Softener? Swap your Tide fabric softener for Attitude fabric softener. Today I am dishing about fabric softener. Yes, fabric softeners. They are a must in our Laundry rooms. They make everyone's clothes feel so soft and pleasant to wear. 

But, do you know how fabric softeners work? Fabric softeners add a small layer of softening chemicals on our clothes. Can you imagine walking around with a layer of chemicals on your skin? Swap your Tide fabric softener for a safer  natural alternative; try the Attitude fabric softener. It gets an A on EWG and Tide fabric softener gets a F . 

Non-natural or organic fabric softeners contain softening chemicals called "quats" that can trigger asthma. Avoid fabric softener that contains fragrance; they can cause skin irritation. 

​Where to shop for this natural fabric softener alternative?
You can find the Attitude Mountain Essential fabric softener, the 35.5 oz for $23.61, at your local Wholefoods or on Amazon by clicking here. ​

Fall is so beautiful; nature is transforming under our eyes with beautiful colors. We overlook the fact that beautiful autumn also brings dry air and cooler temperatures. Like nature, our skin changes during fall; our skin becomes rough, dry, dehydrated, and dull. It is very important to switch our organic skin care routine to have a beautiful and glowing skin during fall. 
​
I put together this guide to help us adjust our skin care routine during the fall. Read more on for the five tips to help us tweak our natural and organic skin care routine for fall. ​​​

FDA Bans Antibacterial Soaps Containing Triclosan - Three Natural Triclosan-free Soaps Safe to Use.

10/5/2016

The problem with antibacterial Soap?
After years of raising concerns from public health experts,  the FDA finally banned 19 chemicals contained in antibacterial soaps and gave companies one year to remove these chemicals from their products. The FDA based its decision "on data that shows these chemicals do more health harm in the long term than good. 40% of antibacterial liquid and bar soaps contain these chemicals. Studies show that the banned chemicals, including triclosan and tricloraban - the most popular chemicals used in antibacterial soaps- might be linked to hormone disruption and bacteria resistance.

What are the alternatives?

 The three natural anti-microbial below are effective and affordable for the whole family; they do not contain triclosan or tricloraban.  I consider them as the basics for anti-microbial soaps.
1. Dr. Bronner's Organic Fair Trade Shikakai Hand Soap. Organic Anti-Microbial Soap. Shop here.
2. Clean Well - Antibacterial Foaming Soap Orange Vanilla. Shop here.
3.Vi-Tae -Certified Organic ANTIBACTERIAL Soap. Shop here.

Organic Soap for Dry Skin - Osmia Organics Lavender and Shea Soap

10/5/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
I love soaps but I have dry skin on my body. So, I have tried many types and brands of soaps to find which ones are gentle and moisturizing for dry skin.

This organic soap from Osmia Organics has the subtle scent of lavender, not the fake medicinal-like lavender scent. It came in a very cute package and smells amazing. ​It is so gentle on my skin and has a creamy lather in the shower; this soap leaves my skin soft.

This organic soap is perfect for people like me who have dry skin. It's so important to use organic soaps  that do not strip away the skin natural oils during fall and winter if you have dry skin.

Skin natural oils protect our skin from loosing its moisture. Harsh chemical soaps (full of toxic chemicals) actually strip away our skin natural oils; this makes dry skin even worse.

Dry skin becomes so itchy and uncomfortable during Fall and Winter. It is very important to use organic soaps that are very gentle on the skin. These soaps should also be moisturizing and bring protective oils  to our skin. 


Ingrdients: saponified oils/butters of olea europaea (olive)*, butyrospermum parkii (shea)*, and cocos nucifera (coconut)*, coconut milk*, illite (french green) clay, spinacia oleracea (spinach) powder*, proprietary blend of essential oils*, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) antioxidant*, GMO-free vitamin E oil
*certified organic

KYPRIS CLEARING SERUM PRODUCT REVIEW, ORGANIC PRODUCTS COST TOO MUCH?

10/1/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
I wanted to try this clearing serum for a while but spending $62 for a 1.59 fl bottle seemed too high. So, I entered a giveaway contest from Vapour Beauty and Safe & Chic and won. One of the items was a bottle of KYPRIS Clearing Serum. KYPRIS is an award winning, high performance company that makes holistic and organic skin care products. 
​

The scent and the color

I love the earthy scent of the Kypris clearing serum. This serum is not clear; it is slightly brown. Don't get put off by the scent and the color; it probably comes from tea tree essential oil. Tea tree essential oil has been proven to effectively fight acne and pimples.
Ingredients 
This clearing serum contains 30 active natural ingredients that work together to balance the skin. I researched the ingredients and I wanted to highlight two ingredients. 
Quinoa oil is amazing oil; it supports healing and restoration of damaged skin. Asiaticoside stimulates skin plumpness and reduces fine lines.

Does the Kypris clearing serum really work?
I have been using it for two weeks now and my skin looks smoother overall. I noticed my pimples and acne cleared up within 3 or 4 days of application. My under the skin bumps and small blackheads are slowly going away. Hormonal imbalance has not been an issue either; this time around my skin stayed clear and smooth; this was such a pleasant surprise.   

How to apply? After cleansing your face and before moisturizing, just put a pea-sized amount of the clearing serum on tip of clean fingers and apply to problem areas.  Avoid eye area. 
For type of skin 
This clearing serum worked great on my sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin. This serum will also work great for normal, dry, and mature skin. This serum balances skin tone and promotes youthful skin naturally.

9/27/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
Looking for a green alternative to your Garnier Fructis shampoo?
Try the Andalou Naturals -
 sunflower and citrus shampoo.
One of the clean alternatives to potentially toxic Garnier Fructis shampoo is Andalou Naturals' Shampoos. You can find Andalou Naturals Shampoos at your local Wholefoods or on Amazon; They are between $8 and $10. 
​

The one I use is the sunflower and citrus . It is made of organic and natural ingredients; they also use fair trade ingredients, which is so important for me.  

What I like about this shampoo , beside the organic and natural ingredients?
First, I love the citrus scent. This shampoo smells wonderful. It is also so gentle on my hair. Wow, my hair were so dry before I start using this shampoo. I notice my hair getting softer and stronger only after few using it few times. It gave my hair volume and texture.  If you are like me and you don't like strong scent, this shampoo will work for you; the scent is not overpowering. ​
