Wine and Beer Soaps…. what are the benefits of booze in soap?


Cabernet Soap
Beer Soap
Wine and Beer are great cleansers as they create a highly luxurious lather, rich in creamy bubbles which helps with removing dead skin and dirt.  The antioxidants in the wine/beer helps increase the elasticity of the skin, provides a glow to the skin, slow the look of aging and fine lines.

Earl Grey handmade organic natural soap, scented with bergamot essential oil

 SOAP SCENT:

Earl Grey Tea is a timeless classic afternoon tea in Britain. Earl Grey is a blend of black teas with a distinctive flavor and aroma derived from adding bergamot oil, which is extracted from the rind of the bergamot orange.

This luscious bar of handcrafted soap was scented with pure bergamot essential oils. I used not additional scents of fillers.

Natural deodorant and how to transition from commercial antiperspirants/deodorants

 Purchase Deodorant hereOur deodorant is parabens, aluminum and baking soda free!!!

The ingredients we use in our deodorant are as follows: Arrowroot powder, cocoa butter, coconut oil, shea butter, beeswax, Vitamin E Oil, Essential Oil.

Below is a list of common ingredients found in commercial deodorants/antiperspirants that are very harmful:

  • Aluminum Compounds (Aluminum chlorohydrate and aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex glycine) – Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, skin irritation
  • Parabens (methyl, ethyl, propyl, benzyl and butyl) –  Endocrine disruption, environmental toxin, cancer, reproductive disorders, premature aging, immune toxicant, allergen
  • Phthalates – Cancer, birth defects, infertility, allergen
  • Proplyene glycol – Skin, eyes, and lungs irritation, reproductive and fetal neurotoxin linked to kidney and liver damage, enhanced skin absorption
  • Silica – Possible carcinogen if contaminated with crystalline quartz, skin, eyes and lung irritation
  • Steareths – Endocrine disruption, developmental/reproductive toxicity, skin irritation
  • Talc – Non-reproductive organ system toxin, possible carcinogen if contaminated with asbestiform fibers
  • Triclosan – Antibacterial agent banned in several countries due contribution to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, endocrine disruption, muscle weakness, skin, eyes, and lung irritation

Transitioning from an antiperspirant to a natural deodorant

If the weather is still chilly where you are, now is the perfect time to get started on the switch from potentially cancer-causing antiperspirant to a safer natural deodorant. I say this because the heat of summer is not exactly the time to work on preventing body odor while using natural products that work differently than what you’ve been accustomed to using. Get used to the difference now and you’ll be a pro by the time the warm weather kicks in and you rely more heavily on your natural odor preventing routine.
It takes a little bit of experimentation to figure out what works for your body in a natural deodorant. If you’ve been using antiperspirant, you are accustomed to not sweating. A deodorant will allow you to sweat. The right deodorant will take care of the odor that the sweat would cause, but not the moisture. It took me a while to get used to that feeling, but after a while I learned to accept the way my body functions naturally.
Detox your pits! Helps reduce foul odor caused by bacteria. Here is how:

Healthy acids like apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon help neutralize bad bacteria that may be growing in your armpits, causing a foul odor. After you shower, you can use a cotton ball to apply either of these acidic foods to your armpits. Allow to air-dry and follow with a deodorant (optional). Witch hazel is another liquid you could apply the same way to get similar results.

If you’re looking to take your armpit detox a step farther, you can try a bentonite clay mask.

Purchase your own natural deodorant from me here.

MARGARITA Soy Wax Melts

MARGARITA Soy Wax Melts - A delicious summer cocktail! The scent of sweet lime blended with juicy orange and tangy tequila! 


WHY SOY WAX?
Soy wax is natural, renewable, non-toxic, and made from soy beans grown in America.
No Petrol/Carbon soot that you would have from some paraffin candles.
Burns Cleaner - No toxins or carcinogens/more allergy-friendly.
Soy wax burns cooler so it will last around 30-40% longer than a paraffin candle.
