Weleda Skin Food

You are what your skin eats. So here's some really good organic food for it. Weleda Skin Food. One of my favorite organic beauty products.  This stuff is awesome for your feet, dry elbows, and cuticles. I even put it sometimes on the tips of my hair. Weleda says it can be used on chapped lips and on your face, but I use Vaseline for my lips and other stuff (post to come) on my face, but you can certainly give it a try.

 

No artificial fragrances in this (I don't wear perfumes and don't like any sort of artificial smells in my beauty products, detergents, etc.). The scent comes from natural oils, not floral or sweet, just healthy. For some of you, it might take some getting use to. 

Love the non-plastic tube packaging, the color, and the name. Really love that it contains organic pansy extract, chamomille, calendula and a precious essential mix of lavender, rosemary and sweet orange oil. How can you not love something with organic pansy extract? 

 

Skin Food is not greasy. It doesn't have a lot of glide to it because it's thicker than most moisturizers that contain silicone. Skin Food doesn't contain any form of silicone, dyes or any other synthetic. It does include acohol, though.

 

This stuff will last you a long time. I bought  a 2.5 oz tube during December 2012, and I still have about 1/3 of the tube left. The cream is so concentrated and thick, you just need a little pea size for each use. Available at vitacost.com, Whole Foods and I think even Target has it. Well worth it.

Happy Friday

I stopped wearing nail polish on my hands about two years ago (topic of another post I'll do). Still wear it on my feet, though. Essie is my favorite. Always has the best colors. Check out their Resort 2014 colors. Peach - Resort Fling; Purple - Under the Twilight; Blue - Find Me An Oasis; and Beige - Cocktails & Coconuts. Highly recommend.

 

Enjoy your weekend!

Best lip stuff around - and the cutest

Okay, you're gonna have to go get this today. If you are like me and suffer from dry lips, you need to have lip balm, ointment, whatever, available at arms length at all times - in your bag, in your car, at home, at work, whatever. This is the ONLY lip balm I use - one because it's the best, and two, because it's the cutest (I can't pass up anything in mini size).  This is the original Vaseline petroleum jelly in the .25 oz size. Available at your local drugstore. Runs less than $1.50. How many ingredients? One - 100% pure petroleum jelly. A little goes a long way. And if you read one of my favorite health/food blogs, foodbabe, you'll find out that this lip balm is probably the only one that doesn't make your lips drier, unlike other lip balms and ointments on the market. You can also use this as a lip gloss. And on your cuticles. And to brush your eyebrows. And to . . . well, the list goes on. You're gonna love it.
