Fall Finds To Add To Your Wardrobe

The best time of year is finally here! Fall, has officially arrived and I couldn’t be happier. Is it just me or does life seem to slow down a bit in the fall, it’s almost like the calm before the storm of the holiday season. You can just breathe easier.

Fall is in the air.

As the days begin to end earlier and the cool, crisp air fills your lungs in the mornings, it’s the perfect time to take a step back and breathe. The vivid colors of yellows, oranges, and reds fill the tree line as the season changes. As you walk, the crunch of leaves under your feet, and the air begins to smell of all things fall. Your senses are on overdrive from the smell of fresh baked pies, autumn spices, and pumpkins.

Delight Naturals take your fall senses to the next level with their fall-inspired lip balms. With so many amazing scents, it’s hard to choose your favorite! Out of all of them though, I think mine would have to be the Spiced Pear Lip Balm. With a base of coconut oil and beeswax, there is no greasy feeling left behind. Unlike most balms, these don’t leave behind chunks of the balm on your lips, just a smooth, velvety feeling.

The Harvest Pies Lip Balm set reminds me of where I was in elementary school. We would have a festival every year where there would be a cakewalk, so the whole gym would smell like all these delicious pies and cakes. It was something as a child I looked forward to every year. The sound of laughter filled the air as families spent the evenings together. And the biggest worry was not being able to get the bean bag inside the smiling pumpkins.

It’s so funny how just a smell can bring back such fun memories. A time when life was a little slower, and the weight of the world wasn’t so darn hard. A time when laughter and fun-filled the air. When a community came together and made sure the kids had some much-needed time to unwind and just be little. The world these days is so fast-paced.

So this season be sure to grab you one of the new fall lip balms from Delight Naturals. And let the joy of the cooler weather fill the air. If you are interested in grabbing your own be sure to visit their website, Facebook, or Instagram!

What is your favorite seasonal scent?

Summer Products You Must Have

by Kansas Leave a Comment

Summer is here and I am so excited! The sun shining, the light breeze against your skin. So when it comes to Summer skin care you want the very best for your body. I’ve got some of my favorite Summertime products that will brighten your day.

Summer Time is here!

I love the water so no matter if it’s the beach or the pool or even the lake, as long as I’m by the water my heart is happy. So being in the sun all day I need a good sunscreen to keep my skin safe and protected from the UVB rays. That is where Visor Skincare comes into play. This sunscreen has no smell and no sticky feeling of leftover goo. It goes on smoothly and is safe for all skin types. With no alcohol added I don’t have to worry about it being harsh on my skin. So I can enjoy the sun and water all day without worry of my skin being burned. The protection puts my mind at ease so I can spend the day enjoying my surroundings and not having to wonder if I’m going to be a lobster at the end of the day.

When a day in the water is over I love coming home to take a nice relaxing shower to wash off the day’s grime. Let me tell you I have found the most amazing soap by Reveka. This soap smells AMAZING, and you actually feel “clean” when using it. Some other soaps I’ve used in the past leave you with a residue on your skin but not the 4 in 1 total body bar by Reveka. My oldest daughter who struggles with extremely sensitive skin also uses this body soap and I have honestly seen a difference in her skin. It’s so much less red and itchy as she suffers from hot spots and raw areas. This soap is full of Topical Magnesium which helps give your skin its vital vitamins which leaves your skin feeling healthy and hydrated. Sold on Amazon, this soap is a must-have!

After a refreshing bath or shower, refreshing your skin is a must. This orange-scented Astrella Primetime Skin Cream by Sun Chlorella is my favorite after-sun and fun addition. This cream helps reduce your skin’s fine lines and wrinkles and locks in hydration. This cream is a must-have in your daily skincare regimen.

Summer has me more active whether it be in the pool, ocean, or just outside spending time with family, which means more chronic pain. 7 years ago I was in a car accident that almost killed me ( click here to learn more about it ) and I broke 3 out of 4 limbs and still struggle with chronic pain. Because I’m more active and on my feet more, as well as working full time I tend to look for pain management that isn’t a narcotic or going to be habit-forming or harsh on my body.

And that’s where my two favorite pain relief creams come into play. The first is Treefrog Pain Relief. This cream was created in Costa Rica and is all-natural. Its plant-based formula is vegan and doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy. I prefer this cream daily because as a reptile momma, it feels right on brand for me.

I find that on day’s when work is really stressing me out that coming home and using Wholesome Hippy’s Calm Cream really helps sooth my oversensitve nerves. The light scent leaves you feeling refreshed and ready to bounch back to business. Living with chronic pain is exhausting but it’s nice to finally have products to actually help me not feel so bogged down all the time.

Summer comes with so many chances to explore some new fun products. What do you think will be your favorite out of these products?

Beauty Essentials To Obsess Over For Fall

by Admin Leave a Comment

I thought I was ready for Fall. I love Fall! However, it was the weather that confused me. For the longest time, we went from 80s and 90s one week, and the next week would be 70s and 80s. Well, Fall is finally here and here to stay for a bit! Now that Fall is here it’s time to switch to new products!

Beauty essentials to obsess over for fall

Aside from skincare, I wanted to focus on the rest of my skin as well. The Tip To Toe Moisturizing Set includes S.O.S Cream Intensive Moisturizing Skincare Protectant, Ultra-Hydrating Body Cream, Ultra-Hydrating Foot Cream, and Ultra-Hydrating Hand Cream.

Beating The Mid-Day Slump

by Kansas Leave a Comment

If you are anything like me, mid-day is the most exhausting time of day. Morning motivation has slipped away, and it feels like the afternoon is just crawling ever so slowly by. So I wanted to share with you some great new products to help bring you back from that wave of exhaustion.

Mid-Day Malfunction!

As a mom of four someday’s, I just forget to make sure that I take care of myself. Or I’m so busy feeding everyone else, half the day goes by and I realize that I’m starving. So I started looking for items that help with the mid-day run down and keep me feeling healthy. That’s when I discovered a company called Just Ingredients. A company that believes that real ingredients are what matters most.

I’ll be the first to admit that I struggle with drinking as much water as I should. By adding their Flavored Water, I am a little closer to meeting my daily water goal. I’ve tried a couple of different flavors and my favorite is definitely the Strawberry Limeade followed by Tropical Paradise.

When it’s mid-day I don’t always have much time to create a meal, especially if I’m at work. So finding a product that leaves me feeling full and empowered is what I look for and that’s where the Protein Powder pack comes into play. My favorite so far that I’ve tried is the Vanilla Bean Protein Powder. With a creamy taste and no artificial sweeteners, this powder leaves me ready to face the day without feeling hungry. These powders come in so many amazing flavors, from Snickerdoodle to Creamy Peanut Butter Chocolate.

Just Ingredients even offer some great skin care products from an Organic Face Serum Oil that helps to fight those signs of aging. This Face Serum helps balance your skin no matter if it’s dry or on the oily side like mine. Just Ingredients also have some amazing lip balm choices. My favorite Lip Balm is Fresh Mint. With 100% natural ingredients this lip balm leaves the sensitive skin of your lips feeling soft and protected from the elements with a SPF 14 protection level.

All and all as a busy mom and full-time employee, Just Ingredients is a company that works to help better my days. When natural products leave me feeling full of energy during that mid-day slump, and it’s not just that temporary boost. I don’t have to worry about putting their products in or on my body, I know exactly what’s inside them and it is the very best products that I can choose. If you are interested in finding out more about this company and their products be sure to check out their Website.

Wake Up Your Skin With These 5 Products

by Admin Leave a Comment

If you are a busy and overwhelmed mom like myself, we find our own needs are put on the backburner. With the holiday season here, there is also pressure to shop for gifts for friends, family, and more. Do you take time for yourself? Does your skin need a little boost? We found 5 products to help pamper your skin!

If you are looking to wake up your skin, look no further than these five products from Junoco! Each one is specifically designed to help give your complexion a boost.

Start your morning

There is nothing worse than dull looking skin. If you are on a budget and can only buy a few products, go with a Vitamin C Serum! The 15% vitamin c Brightening Serum is a great product to try!

The 15% vitamin c Brightening Serum is known to help lighten skin and improve its appearance. It will help reduce hyperpigmentation, even out your skin tone, and texture. Brighten your skin with Vitamin C serum!

Vitamin C Brightening Serum and Caffeine Energizing Serum

Energize your skin with 2% Caffeine Energizing Serum! Looking for a product to help refresh your skin? This serum will de-puff and alleviate the appearance of dark circles around the eyes.

I was really looking forward to trying this product! I know I don’t get enough sleep and waking up looking tired and exhausted is not a fun feeling! I look forward to using the serum every morning!

Both serums absorb quickly into my skin. I just allow a few minutes for the serums to soak into my skin and then I apply my makeup! Both feel lightweight on my skin too!

Hydrate your skin

I will never go without hyaluronic acid! I am so excited to add 2% Hyaluronic Acid Serum to my skincare routine! This product penetrates deep into your skin while stimulating collagen production.

I try to take a collagen supplement but using 2% Hyaluronic Acid Serum directly on my skin is a great alternative when I am on a budget!

Hyaluronic Acid Serum and Plant-Derived Squalane

I love using the Plant-Derived Squalane as it is lightweight and gentle on my skin.

It is known to be a powerful hydrator and helps keep the skin hydrated. This serum is made with squalane, which is said to help improve the appearance of skin tone and texture.

Since the Plant-Derived Squalane is perfect for acne prone skin, I will be using this on my son’s skin.

Cleanse your skin

The Clarifying Cleansing Powder helps to remove any bacteria and impurities from the skin, which is essential if you are looking to achieve a healthy complexion. The cleanser gently exfoliates the skin, which helps to remove dead skin cells.

After using the Clarifying Cleansing Powder for a few days, I decided to add this to my son’s skincare routine! Since my son does have acne breakouts, we use a few products to help combat those issues. I try to keep any beauty products I use on his skin as natural and gentle as possible.

We use a little of the Clarifying Cleansing Powder and another cleanser that targets breakouts and apply all over his face. We usually have product leftover, so it is also applied on his back and chest!

The Clarifying Cleansing Powder is a gentle cleanser, even on my son’s sensitive skin. It has not caused any further irritation or dried out his skin! It’s only been a few days and his skin looks and feels so much better, softer and smoother!

Anyone that knows me knows that Supernatural is my favorite TV show of all time. I am only slightly obsessed. Heck about 90% of my animals are all named after the show! I always can count on Dean and Sam to make my day better. If it’s slaying demons or fighting back giant teddy bears they have everything Supernatural covered. If I see a flickering light someone better grab the salt! It sounds crazy I know but It’s my comfort show. Anytime I am feeling down for some reason it makes me feel better.

I’ve been a fan of Supernatural since it originally aired way back in 2005. I remember my momma and I used to watch it together every week before she passed away. The fandom that is the Supernatual community is such a close knit family and that’s something I have always loved.

Holiday Huzza!

With that being said my love for Supernatural is what drew me to the amazing company called Sea Witch Botanicals. When I came across their Krampas Gift Set I was instantly smitten! Their Krampas blend smells absolutely amazing with hints of cinnamon, clove, peppermint, frankincense and more. This set is perfect for anyone looking to spice up their holiday fun! This amazing gift set includes The All-Natural Incsense, Candle, Veil Spray Perfume, and Solid Perfume.

In a company that believes that all smells aren’t created equal. You get the best products sure to bring out the your natural health and beauty. This company has so many amazing products. One of my favorite is the HUGE Krampas candle. I love big candles, and the smell is divine. I love that its a plant based with the best essential oils. The perfect way to unwind after a busy day.

I love the idea of the Krampas Gift set because its the perfect mix of fun and mischief. Brining the fun of the Supernatural world to the fun of the holiday season. If you are interested in more of Sea Witch Botincals be sure to visit there Facebook, Instagram, and Website, where there is sure to be something that everyone on your holiday list will love just like we do.

Must-Have Items For Your Tween

by Kansas Leave a Comment

It’s happened, somehow I blinked and now my beautiful 6lb 14oz baby girl has hit the tween status with full force. This year on her birthday she will be 11 and I just am not ready for her to be that grown. She’s already the same height as me and by the time she’s done, she is sure to pass me in height. So we decided it would be fun to share some of her favorite must-have tween products with you.

Emmalee is my oldest of four. The one who made me a momma. She is incredibly sweet and caring. She’s the type of person who would give you the shirt off her back. She embraces who she is and what she loves completely. She is unapologetically herself.

Tween Queen!

I love the fact that my girl knows exactly who she is. She loves video games and art. She like me is, by all means, a weirdo and love’s to embrace it. She love’s trying out new technology and we have found an awesome Fidget Mouse. The Hoglet by HedgeHog Health is a fun new spin on an everyday item. When focus can sometimes be tough this adorable little mouse gives kids the chance to fidget and stay on task. Perfect for any size hands and any age! Coming in four bright colors that is sure to be a hit with your family.

Emmalee’s next product that she wants to share is the stunning nail polish from Liberation Nails. Libbi Kids have the most eye-catching colors you could ask for! With a quick dry time and a low chemical smell, you are ready to go in no time. There are so many fun colors to choose from. Liberation Nails is for the human body not just for girls and women, bringing inclusion to all bodies! Be sure to check out their Facebook or Instagram to stay connected to the newest products.

Our last product to share is New Legends Cosmetics. With your growing Tween comes a rush of hormones which is sure to bring a much-needed skincare routine to keep all those bumps and lumps away. Emmalee suffers from all kinds of allergies and eczema and we worry about her skin constantly. So we were excited to find skin care products that are not harsh for her super sensitive skin. Using the Canvas Cleanser paired with the Canvas Prep her skin is glowing!

With a fresh and clean scent, these products are vegan and organic. Partner, the cleanser or prep with your choice of Mask, and your skincare routine is complete in just a few simple steps. Find more information about all their products from their website, Facebook, or Instagram.

Unfortunately, time doesn’t stop or slow down no matter how much we want it to. Growing up is a part of life and it’s a new chapter I’m about to face with my oldest tween. But we are feeling confident to make the transition from kid to teen easier with some really amazing products. With the holidays just around the corner, I bet there’s something your growing tween is sure to love.
