Review: Everday Shea Lavender Body Lotion

    

     I have perpetually dry skin. Most of my life, I sported the ashy look, thinking it was completely normal. I used lotion occasionally, like when my hands felt like they were going to crack into a million pieces on dry winter days, but no one had ever really taught me differently. When I got into high school though, I started noticing girls putting lotion on constantly. After gym class, in the hallways, during lectures... You'd have thought that lotion was as essential as breathing if you watched them for long enough. I started to wonder. Was I missing something?

Review: Nature's Gate Lemongrass & Clary Sage Deodorant Stick

 

      On my journey to use more natural body care products, natural deodorant was one of the first products I tried. It all started when I read somewhere that the aluminum and parabens in deodorant could be toxic to the body, and responsible for a whole host of health problems.

The Great Blog Revamp!

     I didn't mean to abandon all of you. I really didn't. Life started happening, and hasn't stopped yet. However, I've been able to find a bit more time lately to do the things I enjoy, and having that free time has brought me back to blogging. I've decided to completely redo the blog. Now, instead of the random, once-a-year craft post you usually receive, I'll be doing regular reviews on natural products, tutorials on simple crafts (including lots of up-cycle projects!), and posting delicious, gluten free recipes. You will still be graced with the occasional life rambling, but I'm hoping to keep things semi-themed.
