“Although the ramblings on the label of the bottle kinda freak me out…”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Definitely been THERE with the miraculously never-ending ginormous bottle of “all one” whatever whatever soap. Except in my case I didn’t like it.

A book I keep coming back to time and time again is Pratima Raichur’s “Absolute Beauty – Radiant Skin and Inner Harmony Through the Ancient Secrets of Ayurveda”. If you are interested in making your own natural skincare products that are catered for your particular skin type, or in general taking the best care of yourself possible, please check out this book.

Can I first say that thank you a million times over for the poo-pouri? And after purusing the site, I saw a product called “trap a crap”? Hahahah… at least they tried to be catchy.

I’m loving all of the suggestions here! I love Biokleen bac-out too.

Not a fan at all of the Avalon Organics. I also bought it on sale, and couldn’t stand the stuff. I am a huge fan of Burts Bees, but maybe I should branch out a little more.

I am in love with the Desert Essence facial scrub and moisturizer. Nothing else works as well on my face as these products.

Need to work on making my makeup (the little I wear) a little greener. I’ll definitely have to check out all of these suggestions.

ps. Glad you’re back!

I’ve used Physician’s Formula for a long time – the eye shadow, the blush, and the eye make-up remover.

Jason – I’ve used the shampoo and liked it. We have the face wash and my only complaint is that every time it stings my eyes so I always have to wash my face then make sure I have a towel close by to make sure I get it away from my eyes – you don’t even have to get it in yours – it always stings! Once we get through the bottle I probably won’t buy it again. Jeremy and I both tried the deodorant – Jeremy loves it and it last a long time. It didn’t work for me – won’t last all day. We haven’t tried the toothpaste, but we liked the Toms.

Kiss My Face – I bought the shaving cream one week and am saving it for when I run out of what I’m currently using!

I’ve slowly started to purchase Alba’s line of facial cleansers and such – I have the oil-free moisturizer and I use it at night and I really like it.

Thank you – I will check them out!

I’ve been using a local-to-me mineral make up called Everyday Minerals. I’ve been happy with them so far but I still like to peruse other brands!

I didn’t like seventh generation dishwasher soap either. I like the method tablets or Mrs. Meyers. They both seem to work well!

I do need too revist Burts Bees for jason’s aftershave. They’re owned by clorox now which I kinda have mixed feelings about… I do like their baby wash and lotion as well as their chapstick.

Hi there!

I cant help but put in my two cents on make-up. I am IN LOVE with Alima Pure makeup. Its inexpensive, doesnt have any harmful components (and I researched it a TON) and looks awesome. All mineral makeup and comes in all green packaging…you can even send your bottles back to be refilled. Check it out!

Blessings and happy healthy living!

I’m happy you posted your faves. I have to admit that I will pay more for my products and food, just because healthy does tend to cost more and I look for quality, processing, and local. But, I too look for the less expensive route first.
Jeb loves Alba Cocoa Butter Hawaiian lotion($8),I love Better Botanicals Aryuveda line.

Deodorant:I used this deodorant in the past and loved it because you apply a thin layer and don’t have to mess with it for days. Unfortunately, I threw away the container. I will research it but it can be found in any health store in a black container.But, I’ve been using Tom’s long lasting care. For me it is fine because I don’t really have bad bo but for most it may not be a good idea.

For my hair: I use Mill Creeks Botanical. The Amazon collection is really nice. I’ve gotten fabulous results using the Volumizing Conditioner, for my curls.

For my facial cleanser: I use a really expensive product, Lluvia Botanical Facial Cleanser. It doesn’t strip my skin and I never break out or feel dry.

Mascara/Liquied Liner: Dr. Hauschka

Lips: W3ll People here in Austin

Foundation/Makeup: Bare Escentuals

Burt’s Bees lip balm. It is awesome!

I too use Dr. Bronner’s soaps and love them. At SunHarvest on S. Lamar you can take your bottles in and refill it from the huge pump.
I don’t like the Seventh Generation Dishwashing gel. It doesn’t get all the dishes clean.

If I think of anything for you or Jason I will email you. Burt’s has a men’s line.
