I am sure that you are very familiar with the loads of lip balms and chapsticks that frequently appear near grocery check out lines. There are lots of choices in theory but none that are all that healthy for us unless you are at a health food store. The leading brand is full of parabans, petroleum, and chemical dyes and fragrance. Not something we should be rubbing on our lips. Sadly this is the case for most lip balms found in conventional stores. There is also a market for these products year … [Read more...]

Conscious Box – Holiday Version
I started reviewing Conscious Boxes last month and fell in love with them if you recall. Here is a quick view of this jam packed box: Berryplus - Is it strange that the thing that excited me the most when I opened the box was the circular container of laundry soap. I just couldn't get over the cute packaging (contained 2 tubes for 2 loads of laundry) and the wonderful smell!It is 95% berry-based and 100% plant-based. The formula sounds awesome but the little microdoses will mean you have to … [Read more...]
