In reply to Dana. Native is good stuff, Dana! I carried the travel sized version with me on two trips and really liked it, even more than the full sized one. It's good to get away from the aluminum too. Have a wonderful 2018, Dana!

I know it’s past Christmas, but I’m always looking for healthier beauty products. Thanks for all the suggestions! I recently started using Native deodorant, and I am pleasantly surprised by how well it works. I was skeptical, thinking aluminum-free meant less effective. So glad I was wrong!

Happy new year, Alison – may 2018 be a healthy and happy one for you!

Thanks, Tamara! Go try Juices and Berries. The scent alone is enough to make it a fave. And anything with shea butter, especially in winter, is a winner for hands and face.

mmm.. the Juices and Berries spray looks awesome for my winter hair!
And anything for my hands and face. I need pampering badly! This list is comprehensive!

In reply to Tricia. That "running ragged" feeling is, unfortunately's "women's Christmas burden," but if we really make pampering a nonnegotiable aspect of the season, we can definitely lessen the burden, Tricia!

In reply to Deidra Riggs. Hey Deidra! I was skeptical, too, at first re: oil cleansing but the philosophy behind it makes sense. You're using natural oils in specific combinations to massage your skin in order to remove makeup and impurities. The thinking is that oil dissolves oil, so by using the right combination of beneficial oils, you will counteract the negative effects of excess sebum, dirt, and bacteria naturally. By not using soap, you avoid stripping the skin and leaving it tight and dry. The oils are supposed to bring the right level of moisture to your skin while healing, protecting, and nourishing it naturally. Some people remove the oil with a hot wash towel, and the steam will open your pores so that the oil can be easily removed.

Ali, what a great list! Thanks for the reminder to pamper myself during this busy season. Somehow I end up running myself ragged and always forget to spend a bit of my energy nurturing myself.

Hey there! Love getting your emails in my inbox. Tell me more about the face oils. I keep hearing about them but then I think, “Oil on my face??? Don’t I want to get rid of oil on my face???” How do you use it and what’s the goal? Thanks!
