  I've been testing these products out for 3 months & I'm ready to share my thoughts. Quick recap of Herbivore Botanicals; cruelty free, ethically sourced, high quality organic/active ingredients. Packaging is great, everything is great!
We'll get right into it!

left - right: Pink Cloud Rosewater Moisture Creme, Brighten Pineapple + Gemstone Mask, Rose Hibiscus Hydrating Face Mist, Phoenix-Orchid-Lapis Facial Oil Mini Set

Pink Cloud Rosewater Moisture Creme: Um is this what heaven is like? I'm picky about facial creams. As I've said before, I have dry skin. I like my moisturizer to be moist-ur-izing! Love it. The consistency is great & it soaks in really well. Unfortunately I can't afford it for only 1.7 oz a pop. I received this one as a free sample. Maybe one day when they make a tub of it I'll repurchase it & then sit in said tub.

Brighten Pineapple + Gemstone Mask: This mask is amazing! The Pineapple & Papaya enzymes exfoliate & brighten leaving your face tingly, refreshed, & baby soft. The smell reminds me of beaches. I use this as a quick pick-me-up mask. I leave it on for 5-10 minutes & then put another mask on after. Even though I have sensitive skin I didn't have a bad reaction because, I followed the instructions. But be aware that your skin has to adjust & that it will sting at first. If you follow the directions you'll be fine.  I recommend this mask 100%.

Rose Hibiscus Hydrating Face Mist: I love this product as well. It smells amazing, the packaging is great because the spray nozzle is a good one, & it's so refreshing to use. I do feel like this is a good moisturizing toner mist. I think the size is good but, I would prefer to buy a bigger toner for less. I enjoyed trying this product out though because I have been stalking it for a while. 

Facial Oil Set (Phoenix, Orchid, Lapis):
I think the mini trial set is worth the money because you can test them out to see which one you would like more. I think its fun to use all 3 so when I repurchase I'll just get the set again! My only problem with this product was the dropper tops fall apart really easily so just be aware.

Phoenix: This smells really good & I also like the color. It contains Sea Buckthorn, & Rosehip oil, how could I not love this? Its very moisturizing & soaks in well. 

Orchid: This one is more like a "dry" oil. I think its great in the morning under SPF & makeup because it isn't "oily" ,if that makes any sense? It contains Jasmine Sambac oil & that smell is good for boosting your mood.

Lapis: The color is so great, & the smell is amazing. This one is for acne prone skin which I don't have, but the ingredients can't hurt so I'm loving this one as well. Again its very moisturizing & soaks in well.

That is all that I purchased from Herbivore Botanicals! I did warn you that the praise would be off the charts. I highly recommend checking them out because I think they are a great organic company with reasonable prices. I hope that you have enjoyed this post & please stay tuned for more exciting things on this blog for the summer!

Natural Summer Glow

Image
Let's hear it for that natural summer glow! I know that it's already pretty late into summer but I thought I would show you my tanning essentials. I did try out some new products as well, so I'll dish about those.  I'm pretty pale...but I tan really well. Everyone assumes that because I'm fair skinned, I burn! I just avoid tanning so I end up really pasty. I got a nice tan during my vacation & didn't have any sunburn, or tan-line incidences. Whew! That's all thanks to my Babyganics SPF 50 sunscreen. What do you do when you want to keep up the glow? I'll share that with you today. Step 1; Exfoliate You have to think about the base before you slather on the tanner!  Always take care of your skin. Exfoliation is key, so get a body scrub!  If you'd like to take this step into your own hands, I have a DIY Scrub recipe here https://theorganicone.blogspot.com/2017/09/diy-and-essentials.html Frank Body: https://www.frankbody.com/us/ ...

Travel Essentials

Image
The spring/summer season is upon us and that means vacation time! I'm going on a trip to the beach with my family & thought I would share my natural travel essentials. I would also like to share a couple minimalist packing tips. So lets get into it already! Tip #1 Bring those holy grail never fail products that you always rely on. Trips aren't a good time to test out new products! If you want to pack light bring the tried & true and those multi use products. Tip #2 Planning your makeup looks & outfits for each day will help you keep track of what you really need. Instead of bringing a lot of things you may not use or wear, having a plan gives you more time to enjoy your trip. For example, if you know you'll be at a fancy club or restaurant, pack a dressier outfit & red lipstick.  Tip #3 Keep in mind where you are staying. If you have access to a laundry room, pack less clothes to wash & re-wear what you've br...

Minimalistic Gift Guide

As the holidays approach it tends to be about consumerism, sales, wish lists, and loved ones. Once I discovered minimalism I thought about how my wish list would change. If you have a minimalist on your list you might be thinking about what you could get them? So I thought I would make a guide to help you out!  I have gotten rid of many a gift in the past when I became a minimalist. You may think that that sounds terrible but hear me out. The purpose of a gift is to bring joy to the person you're giving it to. If that gift no longer brings them joy it doesn't have a purpose & it's just taking up space. That's how I look at it! So let's take a look at some things that you could get for that minimalist in your life.  Gift Cards.  You either love them or hate them. I personally love them! My boyfriend however, thinks that they aren't special. I love them because I'm a broke college student! If I can use that card to get gas, food,...
