I recently hosted a giveaway where two of my readers could enter to win a $50 shopping spree @iHerb featuring tons of organic and natural brands.
Some of my favorite brands at iherb include:
Aubrey Organics, Alba Botanicals, Alter Eco, Acure Organics, Annies Naturals, Amys, Badger Company , Bee Naturals, Clean Well, Derma E, EcoTools, Earth Balance, Ecco Bella, EQ, Garden of Life,
I’ve wanted to share a company that I really stand behind and love. They offer a variety of products that are all natural and organic plus they have great prices. iHerb sells nutritional supplements and other healthy products both in the U.S., as well as internationally. A constantly expanding business, iHerb carries one of the largest selections of high-quality nutritional products in the world. They also give back to our world – Worldwide, iHerb’s charitable donations in 2015 totaled $971,772. This included the building of two new schools in Cambodia, as well as the promotion of children’s education through the Cambodian Children’s Fund and New Hope Cambodia. In the past, iherb has also made donations to events such as earthquake relief in Haiti and famine relief in Somalia. I love that iHerb is committed to the environment, and through several different eco-friendly initiatives, they do their best to promote recycling and limit waste throughout their company.
OK enough about why I shop and support such an amazing company… as you can tell by now I love iherb; they have the best brands and carry all natural and organic products galore. If you haven’t shopped at iherb you definitely need to check it out. It’s the best place to buy skin care products, makeup, organic specialty teas and food. They offer free shipping on most orders and I always get my package 2-4 days after I order it. They really care about customer service – you know when you buy oils and cleansers online and they spill and leak everywhere when you receive your package – well not at iherb they individually wrap anything that can spill. Another reason to love iherb is that their prices are amazing you find items cheaper then at target and even other natural online stores.
Question: How many times have you applied makeup using the same brush without washing it?
If your answer is more than a few times you need to make a habit of cleaning your brushes weekly. I know this sounds like a daunting task but it doesn’t take much time and your skin will thank you in the long run.
As you may already know using all natural and organic makeup is essential in my beauty regime, but there was a time when I was not well-read about the harsh chemicals lurking in my products. 🌿🌺💉✖

📍Myth: FDA would promptly recall any product that injures people.
✔Fact: FDA has no authority to require recalls of harmful cosmetics. Furthermore, manufacturers are not required to report cosmetics-related injuries to the agency. FDA relies on companies to report injuries voluntarily.

I’ve been educating myself on what I’m really putting on my body since up to 70% of what is applied to the skin is believed to be absorbed into the body.
Nars vs @drhauschkausa
I’ve been using NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer for many years. Unfortunately I researched what ingredients NARS uses to make their concealer and I found they use a lot of chemicals which are linked to cancer, allergies, immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and organ system toxicity.
