Garden Girl : Skincare Product Review

I want to start with a review of three of the Garden Girl Skincare products. Remember, If you shop through the site , please put Lindsey Coddington as your consultant name !

Ideally, I would like you to let me know before you shop, so that I can check back and see how you liked it. For hosting a party in the DFW area you can recieve a hostess gift and additional discounts.

1. You're Fresh Herbal Face Wash - This face wash is the basic wash, great for all skin types. It contains aloe, tea tree oil, lavender and vitamin e. Also has witch hazel, so great for problem skin. Awesome product ! This is basically like having an aromatherapy session while you are washing your face. The scent is pleasant, but not overpowering. I love it ! It makes me want to wash my face in the middle of the day, just to experience the amazing scent and clean feeling. So fresh !

2. Even Ste(pH)en Hydrating Toner - Contains DMAE for skin-firming and is pH balanced. Also has witch hazel and a slew of other awesome natural ingredients. When combined with the cleanser, the effect is wonderful. Your skin will feel smooth and clean, without feeling dried out. These products are gentle, yet effective. You can spray it on and wipe off with a cotton pad or apply to the pad itself.

I reccomend LoveCrochet's facial "scrubbies". You can get a lot of ten for $4.99 plus shipping and they are so soft and wonderful. Much softer than some others I have tried. When used with the Even Ste(pH)en hydrating Toner, the effect is fabulous !

3. Nature vs. Nurture Face Cream - Contains organic jojoba , shea butter, hyaluronic acid, aloe butter, vitamins E and C and green tea extract. The vitamins and green tea antioxidants fight aging naturally and a multi-fruit complex repairs damage to skin. Includes orange, apple, lemon and sugar cane extracts.

This face cream smells like a cupcake to me and looks like icing. It is amazing, how something so natural can smell so divine. It is moisturizing and I swear it makes my skin glow. Using this three step system is a treat for the senses ! The smells and feel of the products is amazing.

I have tried many natural and organic products, but I am not disappointed in these at all. I worried when I got my kit, that the products would not live up to my expectations (which I must say are a bit high), but they absolutely have ! I am thrilled to be selling products that I love, from a company whose philosophy matches with my own !

The eco-friendly refill is available at a reduced price for the nature vs. nurture and the no worries face cream, as well as microdermabrasion and the Cookies + Cream Masque. This makes refills a great deal and it is so great for the environment. I wish more companies would follow this lead. Garden Girl is truly a revolutionary company in terms of safety and environmentally friendly practices, which is why I chose them !

R.W. Knudsen Organic Blueberry Nectar and Treating Urinary Infections

Oh my gosh, this juice is wonderful ! http://www.knudsenjuices.com/products/organic_juices/organic_blueberry_nectar

I have to say it is the most wonderful juice I have ever tasted. Better news !! Blueberry is great for your bladder and urinary tract. http://www.blueberry.org/health.htm

This site has great info on all the wonderful thing blueberries can do for your health. They are a super food and sooo good for you. In my opinion, blueberry juice tastes better than cranberry juice and is a super great alternative for those of us that suffer from recurrent urinary infections.

For the past year I have been taking a vitamin D supplement, combined with cranberry pills and I have reduced my occurence to none. I thought recently I was coming down with a urinary infection, but I discovered it was actually a yeast infection...much easier to treat ! If I was coming down with a urinary infection, I have dispelled it with natural treatment.

I spent several days taking extra doses of probiotic (Reuteri and Rhamonosus are actually the best for urinary issues- I have this one, which has both plus Acidophilus. http://www.iherb.com/Nature-s-Way-Primadophilus-Reuteri-Superior-Probiotic-90-Vcaps/4674?utm_source=g&utm_medium=x&at=0

Keep refrigerated for best results ! In addition to the probiotics, I upped my vitamin D and cranberry pill and I drank some cran-aid tea one night when I was filling particuarly bad. http://www.4allvitamins.com/product_info.php/products_id/847 . Besides Cranberry, this tea contains uva ursi which is an herb used to treat urinary infection. Please read the warning on the box, uva ursi is not meant to be taken every day, only for a few days in extreme situations or when you think an infection is occuring.

The vitamin shoppe carries both of these products in stores. For vitamin D I use an inexpensive supplement from CVS. I even got it free with extra bucks. I take vitamin shoppe cranberry pills or the life fitness chewables are yummy !

Stay healthy and happy with blueberry juice and probiotics !

I have to brag on this etsy seller.

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=cart_raf_img_1&listing_id=24364700

Country life naturals makes the cutest snack bags and lunch bags. This linen combo set includes a lunch bag and a napkin. It is so cute ! The price is awesome too ! I would love to try one, if I hadn't spent $25 on a Vera Bradley lunch bag just two months ago. Maybe for my next lunch bag purchase.

If I get a job as a teacher I will be needing an extra, since I will be taking my lunch every single day ! Reminder, this would be a super nice gift for your teacher friends or co-workers that bring their lunch. Also cute for children. Maybe I could get my son one for kindergarden. I wonder if she could put spiderman on it lol !

I have to brag on this etsy seller.

Run to Lush Another Great Deal !! Haircare !

They are having another great deal to encourage you to try out a lot of products. 7 hair products for $15.

1. Choose from trichomania or the blonde shampoo.
2. Get a deep conditioning treatment in a small bottle http://www.lushusa.com/shop/products/hair/hair-treatments/hsuan-wen-hua
3. Choose a solid shampoo bar mini
4. Get a small bar of jungle conditioner http://www.lushusa.com/shop/products/hair/conditioners/jungle
5. Get a Big or Curly Wurly small tub of liquid shampoo
6. Get a Veganese or American Cream conditioner in a small bottle
7. Your choice of one of three hair gels. I got the Goth Juice for medium hold.

This is an awesome deal ! Deep treatment, two conditioners, three shampoos and a gel for $15. Yowser ! Yes they are small sizes, but lush is concentrated, these will last for at least a month, but probably a lot longer. I had a tiny sample tub of big that I know lasted at least a week, same deal for the american cream conditioner. This is my first time to try their shampoo bars and solids, but I have a feeling they will last a long time. Just keep them to dry so they do not disentegrate.
