Natural Skincare
I have sensitive, acne prone, fairly dry skin and these holistic skin care products changed the game for me. I seriously can't live without them. For me, it works best when using all of the products and really following through on a thorough skincare...
clears up and keeps at bay my breakouts. Even great for other areas of the body that get breakouts. I like this brand specifically because their products are clean and simple without additional and unnecessary ingredients.
removes any remaining makeup and dirt. so refreshing. I like this brand because the design of the bottle, makes for easy application. helps keep my skintone even and keep breakouts at bay. I like the rose scent personally.
the best way to get makeup off for sure, as well as dirt! keeps my dry skin hydrated. sometimes i let the oil sit on my face for an extended time to get a bit of an added treatment for hydration.
one of my favorite moisturizers for the face, even the body and hair. I typically reach for the one with glycerin because it acts as a setting spray for makeup, but honestly just as good without. I like the spray of the nozzle, the scent, and the fee...
vaseline is a classic. i know that some people prefer aquaphor, but I still reach for this most often. it is a great face and body moisturizer, great for the lashes, brows, and lips too. have a breakout? coat it in vaseline. I find that the baby form...
absolute godsend. sometimes regular vaseline will absorb into my lips so quickly but this hydrates so deep and continues to hydrate. plus, the subtle rosy color makes it the perfect lip care product.
I haven't tried all of the lotions but the ones I have tried have a great and gentle scent, absorb quickly, but also leave you feeling adequately hydrated until reapplying after your next shower.
I love making my own body butter with raw shea butter and coconut oil. You heat them together, about 2 parts of shea to 1 part coconut oil I'd say because the coconut oil will leave you feeling oily if you add too much. Once they are melted, they hav...
this stuff really has a punch. i discovered it long ago as a girly with acne prone skin and i feel like this really helps to exfoliate and clear my skin from a deeper than surface level. it will most likely make your skin red but that's good because ...

food-related wellness products
kombucha in general is so good for your gut health!!! This is my favorite brand and my absolute favorite flavor. I almost always reach for the passion fruit-tangerine. also really cute packaging!
wow! I was skeptical about these at first, but when you really need hydration, I prefer these over gatorade and other drinks of the sort. My personal favorite flavors are the orange and strawberry. I feel the hydration seeping into my cells when I dr...
gut health once again! I recently found out that sourdough lowers your sugar intake, including whatever might be paired with it. A fresh sourdough loaf is best, preferably local. I've seen some bread marketed as sourdough that leaves out the sourdoug...
you can make your own or buy cold-pressed juices but it always makes me feel nourished, plentiful, and healthy to drink. you are gaining the benefits of so many immune boosters and metabolism stabilizers in fresh juice. You'll have to find your prefe...
the benefits are listed in the picture! i love most that it's anti-inflammatory
another anti-inflammatory healer. i like to add turmeric and ginger into my tea with some milk to feel like i am golden on the inside, just shining a beacon of light. the combination of turmeric and ginger has helped me with some serious body aches a...
