Phthalates and petrochemicals. How do those 2 words sound? They sound like chemicals and really don’t sound like something you’d want in products you use don’t they? These 2 are found in many fragrances you may have in your home right now. In fact, the rules regarding fragrance labeling are set up to protect the secret recipes of the companies that create them. So when you see the word ‘perfume’ or ‘fragrance’ on the label you have no idea what is really in them. Even more eye opening is that it won’t just be one harsh chemical or another, it can easily be a mix of several. It is time to spring clean those fragrances!

Do your research. If the brand or label is hiding the ingredients then find brands that are willing to be transparent. There are 3,100 synthetic scent chemicals known that can easily be within your perfume bottle you spray on your body’s largest organ, your skin! Brands like Goddess Garden want to step up and be transparent so you know exactly what is in each bottle. Why?

New Essential-oil Roll-on Perfumes from Goddess Garden has nothing to hide because they are made with essential oils and other natural ingredients. The founder of Goddess Garden’s daughter had serious reactions to the synthetic chemicals in conventional body care products. Because label reading was such a necessity for them, transparency has been Goddess Garden’s standard practice.

There are 5 Essential-Oil Roll-on Perfume scent blends: Wildflower, Citrus Sunrise, Rainforest, Amber Fire and Lavender Sky. See then PLUS their ingredient list at Goddess Garden/Perfumes. And keep in mind that scents are not only in perfumes, they are in cleaning products and other body products so look for the ingredients and if they aren’t there, it’s time to change those too!

Beauty, Holiday Gift Guide 2017

Mirenesse Shona Art Tri-Contour V Face Sculpting Stick

Whether it’s a run to the store or to a family get together I just never seem to leave myself enough time for a full hair and makeup routine. After having long debates with my 9 year old about shorts versus pants on a 30 degree day and the dog just ran through mud and now needs rinsing off and I put on my 8th top before settling on the right one, when would I have time for makeup?

But then a little magic stick appeared in my mail and it was the Mirenesse Shona Art Tri-Contour V Face Sculpting Stick. In 3-4 swipes on my face and/or chest I get a concealer, highlighter and bronzer all in one. A little blending with my sponge leaves my face ready for some blush and eye makeup in at least half the time. Time saved is golden when trying to get out the door.

In looking at the pictures above. The top picture shows how I like to swipe on my Tri-Contour stick on one side then I repeat on the other side and around it is my face with no makeup. I have a few blemishes and uneven skin tone. Once I blend it all in I get a much more even tone and the blemishes are covered. I especially love how well it does around my eyes.

The first thing I noticed, besides the excellent eye coverage, was how light it is to wear. I truly do not feel like I have product on my face. By the time I dab concealer and sponge on bronzer and add some highlighter from my separate bottles I used to use I felt like I as wearing 3 products. Not with this stick!

This brilliant stick is also fragrance free and contain no parabens, gluten, lanolin or petrolatum. Just ingredients such as beeswax and hyaluronate and other organic ingredients.Fin out more by visiting the Mirenesse website.

CoFi Genuine Leather Penny Phone Bag

I am excited to share CoFi Leather bags and totes with you. For the beauty lover these are truly designed with quality and style in mind. CoFi manufactures their own printed leathers using Italian papers and foils via a transfer process. These prints are so pretty. I have the Penny Phone Bag and I love taking these on trips when I don’t want to cary a large purse around all day as we travel.

I recently took my Penny Phone bag to Las Vega on a weekend getaway. It allows me to travel lighter when I will be doing a lot of walking all day.

Whether you shop online or spot the CoFi Leather products in boutiques near you, they really make great gifts. I love the phone bag size because when all I need to carry is a phone and some keys and cards it is the perfect size. It also has the long strap so I can safely wear over my shoulder or cross body style.

CoFi is owned by Steffi McTigue, who’s father was in the leather business for many decades. Keeping these bags and clutches clean is as easy as blotting off debris with a clean cloth. You can also use a light leather protectant spray on it to best protect the leather. I know that good leather will last a long time if you care for it well. So I wanted to note this for you.

The CoFi shop is full of great gift ideas for the season. Take a look!

Spring and Summer Kids Clothing Outfits from Rockin’ Baby

With Easter coming I wanted to feature a clothing brand for baby and kids that not only offers quality clothing and accessories but also gives back. Spring Summer kids clothing from Rockin’ Baby will help mothers around the world with your purchase.

My son will spend this Easter in the Blue Brushed Check Shirt and Camel Cord Trousers. He is 8 and because they carry up to size 10 years he is able to wear the line of outfits they offer.

Ordering this outfit was a risk because my son is so picky with pants. I can never get him in jeans. He only wears shorts or athletic clothing. I had him look at how the waist is designed as that is the part that bothers his bony hops most. We tried it on and took some photos and as I was editing photos and became busy I noticed he was not quick to take the outfit off. Until I told him to get in the shower he was lounging in this outfit without complaining. That says a lot with him about the comfort he felt in these pants and the top.

Now partnering with ChildFund, for every item you purchase, Rockin’ Baby donates a sling, carrier, or item of clothing to a needy child somewhere in the world. Your purchase makes a difference and that is clothing your child will fell and look great in. Visit Rockin’ Baby for more information and styles.

My son is heading out of size 8 and into a 10 and this outfit is a size 10 and the fit is perfect. He can bend, sit and run in these pants comfortably.

Looking for a quality spring outfit for the kids? See all of the styles from baby to big kid at Rockin’ Baby clothes for kids ( and charity).
