True Natural’s “Broad Spectrum SPF 50″ Sunscreen Lotion Review

TLC for your skin.

True Natural-Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion:

My Findings:  I was very pleased with True Natural’s Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion. I really enjoyed the “coconut vanilla” smell of this sunscreen, it made me think of the beach before I was even there! I went to beach and spent three hours out in the hot mid-day sun and did not turn red, or burn at all even though I’m fairly light skinned and burn easily.

The only thing that you need to know about this sunscreen is that you need to apply it a little at time, and make sure that its rubbed into your skin good or your skin will be all white and you will look like a ghost. Also, as the weeks went buy, the sunscreen seemed to separate, the oil from the rest, so you really need to mix it well before using.

Golden Earth: Body Wash & Perfume Review

Golden Earth’s products are all natural and use only the best aromatherapy oils derived from nature. I love aromatherapy oils and love it when aromatherapy oils are combined into body washes and perfumes. Golden Earth sent me two of their roll on perfumes “Tranquility” and “Fresh” and they also sent me the matching scents in their body washes. All of Golden Earth’s ingredients are organic and are not harmful to the skin or body. Read on for more..

Aromatherapy body care from nature that is good for you!

Earth Perfume – Tranquility

My Findings: I really loved the smell of Golden Earth’s perfume called “Tranquility.” This perfume has two of my top favorite scents in it, sandalwood and cedarwood. You will love how this perfume smells on you, and how calm and relaxed you will feel when you wear it.

Earth Perfume – Fresh

My Findings: Golden Earth’s perfume “Fresh” smell exactly like the names says, Fresh! This perfume contains the oils neroli and passion fruit oil. This perfume will awaken your senses and have you feeling more awake. It smells wonderful when you wear it. I really like this perfume, I wear it when I have finished working out so I can smell nice and fresh.

Tranquility Body Wash

My Findings: Just like Golden Earth’s Tranquility perfume this body wash is every bit as amazing.  All the ingredients in this body wash are all natural. Golden Earth’s Tranquility body wash will leave your skin smelling like pure nature, and will leave your skin nice and soft. I use this body wash frequently, I just love it.

Fresh Body Wash

My Findings: Just like the other body wash Golden Earth’s Fresh body wash smells heavenly. I use this body wash in my morning shower and after I have had a good workout.

In addition to Golden Earth’s Body Washes, and Perfumes, they also offer Lotions, Massage Oils, and Charka Oils that help restore balance to the body.

I just love nature and everything that there is to love about nature. I have three bird houses in my backyard and at-least one of them always has a family nesting in them.

I love sitting on my deck and watching mamma bird feed her little babies. It always brings a smile to my face. I’m telling you, these little guys sure do have some vocal cords. I can hear them chirping away when I am in the house, and they even wake me up in the morning, but it’s worth it. I’m not sure what the breed of bird they are, but I’m going to take a guess and say that they are Chickadee, but don’t take my word for it. They sure are cute though. =)

 Aromago “Revive Stick” Review

If you have never heard of the company called Aromago, you have now. Aromago makes these really cool compact, dual purpose, aromatherapy inhalers/dabbers (called aromago sticks) that contain essential oils to help to either pick you (Revive), or clam you down (Relax) when needed. I had the opportunity to review the “Revive” aromatherapy stick, so read on and I’ll tell you more.

Aromatherapy on-the-go!

My Findings:  I spend 8-10 hours a day behind a computer and come mid-afternoon I start to feel a bit tired. I found that with one or two deep inhales of Aromago’s Revive Stick, I immediately start to feel more alert and ready to take on more of my day. The secret to this little “pick me up” or “Revival,” is that the Revive Stick has two essential oils in it that naturally uplift you when inhaled. The oils used in Revive are a blend of peppermint and eucalyptus. I use peppermint and eucalyptus oils all the time in my diffuser, and now I can take these oils already mixed together with me (in my purse) when I need a boost of energy. If you are looking for a little pick me up during your day, Aromago’s Revive Stick is sure to give you that extra boost of energy you need. This is a really good product!

The other thing that I liked about the Aromago Sticks, and not to be left out, is that they can be used both by inhaling the oils, or you can twist the bottom off and dab the oil blend on your temples. that way you can breath in the the peppermint and eucalyptus oils longer, a big plus!

About Aromago:

Aromago provides on-the-go aromatherapy for natural refreshment using the essential oils of plants and flowers. We’ve essentially captured the beneficial “essence” of various plant oils for you to take with you on-the-go!

Aromago’s goal is to deliver the benefits of essential oils in a convenient and pleasant form. Utilizing our unique stick, we offer a fresh and effective way to help the modern person focus, relax, breathe, wake-up, enjoy, live, love, and return to the present moment.

Right now we offer two distinctly different and exciting special blends of essential oils REVIVE and RELAX.

Revive is a perfectly balanced blend of peppermint and eucalyptus oils, this blend is specifically designed to stimulate your senses and help you return to the present moment.

Relax allows you to let go, and let the sweet, warm, inviting aromas of lavender and vanilla ease away your tension.

How To Use Aromago Sticks:

The top side is for a quick breath of refreshment. Just hold the Aromago stick under your nose and focus on the delicious sensory experience. You’ll notice that the bottom half also unscrews. It can be used for just about anything. We like to take a dab on our finger, and then apply it to the upper lip for an instant 5-10 minutes of aromatherapy refreshment. But be careful not to get any oils in your mouth or eyes! It doesn’t taste as pleasant as it smells… and it burns if it gets near your eyes (for this reason– grown-ups only please!)

I would like thank Aromago for giving me the opportunity to review their Revive Stick.

If you have not seen the Twilight Full ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2′ Teaser Trailer, than you can finally see it for the first time. I can’t wait for the movie to be released in theaters in November. I’m counting down the days now.

Below are some captures from the movie trailer. I think Kristen Stewart makes a hot vampire.

Ohhh.. those darn Volutri, they always look so creepy.

Aww… don’t Edward and Bella look so happy with their little bundle of joy. =-)

Evil is lurking within the walls of Katrina’s families castle. There is a spy who will stop at nothing to harm whoever is required to gain power and control of the vampire council. Katrina and her friends must unite and use all their fighting techniques and special gifts if they are to win.

Beautifully written, and I’m waiting for book two in this soon to be favorite vampire series of mine. If I could give this book 6 Bats out of 5 I would, that is how much I enjoyed this book. It’s really that good! best
