Good Earth Beauty: Facial Cleanser Review

Good Earth Beauty: Facial Cleanser Review + Giveaway

Since I live on the coast, I deal with an ocean breeze almost daily. As the weather gets nicer and as I start to spend more time outside, my skin tends to dry out. I use moisturizer and try to keep my face away from direct breeze, but that is a challenge on the best of days.

When I recently was sent a Facial Cleaner from Good Earth Beauty I was curious if this could possibly help that yearly and often unavoidable dry skin.

When I was recently at the Natural Products Expo and as I was walking around I had the opportunity to puck up a couple samples.

Smith & Vandiver: Spa..ah Foot Care Collection Review

Smith & Vandiver: Spa..ah Foot Care Collection Review + Giveaway

Summer is approaching, and if the increase in traffic near my coastal home is any indication, it will be a busy summer this year. Each year I use the surrounding area traffic to find out how busy the beach season will be.

As some readers know, I live only about 1/4 mile from the beach, and I see people walking the streets in flip-flops and bare feet daily. The thing that always makes me think is the toll that their feet must suffer from. Then when you add in the beach sand, the water and the walk back, the feet get the abuse.

When you add in the additional wear and tear of the daily use of the feet, there is no doubt that some pampering is not only necessary but essential. When I saw that Smith & Vandiver had an entire foot care line from scrub, fizzies, lotion and heel repair I thought maybe I can repair my often abused feet.

All Good Products: All Stars Set Review

All Good Products: All Stars Set Review & Giveaway

Let’s be honest, we are in a time when it is important that companies are environmentally responsible as well as being fiscally responsible. Many times companies donate a part of their profits, or sales to a cause that is relevant and important to their product category. When I attended the Natural Products Expo in March, one thing that I noticed was more companies are backing causes that are important to not only themselves, but their customers.

Being a resident of the coast, the ocean is something that I see and admire each day. There is no doubt that the ocean is as vast as it is large. Despite it’s massive size and power, it still needs us to take care and be aware of the issues that could potentially destroy it.

One company that I came across was All Good Products and their #ReefFriendly campaign. The basic idea of the #ReefFriendly Campaign is to spread awareness to make sure that the products on our skin, are also safe for the underwater reefs. With this added awareness I was curious to give their products a try, and see what makes them different.
