Dry Winter Hands?

Dry skin is a very common skin problem and is often worse during the winter when environmental humidity is low.

Everyone is always looking for a new hand cream or lotion to help sooth and moisturize aching dry hands.
Well look no further, Ive got two amazing products just for that.

My new all time favorite is
Eos Cucumber Hand Lotion.
Ive never been a big fan of hand lotions, every one Ive ever tried has left my hands feeling oily and slimy, and they always make my hands sweat. Until I tried this.
Infused with moisturizing shea butter, oat extract, and a generous helping of antioxidants and vitamins C and E, eos hand lotion will leave your skin feeling soft, supple and radiantly healthy long after you apply it.


Things I like:

• 97% natural formula
• For all skin types
• Paraben-free
• Phthalate-free
• Lanolin-free
• Dye-free
• Dermatologist tested
• Hypoallergenic
• Only $4
• My favorite Scent
• Fits perfectly in your purse or pocket

Things I dislike:

• It is kind of on the small side (1.5 fl oz.)
• You might become addicted to it.
  
  

Eos products are available at Walmart, Target, Ulta, Walgreens, CVS, and more, or online at evolutionofsmooth.com.

Another great hand cream I recently tried is
Soap & Paper Factory's Midnight Hand Cream.
The first time I tried this, was in the summer, my hands werent dry, so it sat on the surface for a while, and made my hands sweat and feel slimy. So my first thought on the product was I do NOT like it.
But now that its winter, and my hands are pretty dry, I figured Id give it another shot.
I applied it only to the backs on my hands where theyre more dry, and Im actually really pleased with it.


Things I like:

• Paraben-free
• Phthalate-free
• Petroleum-free
• Not tested on animals.
• Made from recycled products
• Made by hand
• Made in the US

Things I dislike:

• Very strong scent, overwhelming if you use even a little too much
• Hard to find in store
• $18 for small-ish tube

Soap & Paper Factory products are available at soapandpaperfactory.com.

Beauty Maven?

ma·ven [mey-vuhn] 
noun
an expert or connoisseur.

Are you a beauty maven?
How about a Julep Maven!

Julep is a nail polish and nail care company. They offer 60 nail polishes, and over 15 nail care products.
Julep offers professional quality “4-free” nail polish formulation, developed without carcinogens such as formaldehyde or formaldehyde resin, toluene and DBP. $1 from every nail polish sold will be donated to organizations that support women, through their Powered by Girlfriends program.

One of the things I love about this company is they have the Maven program.

As a Julep Maven, you will have access to the hottest trends in nail color and the latest Mani Care and Pedi Care products - delivered right to your doorstep, just like the beauty editors do.  And you'll have access to these trends and products before anyone else.

I had a coupon code to get my first Maven box for only $0.01!
So I figured its worth it to check it out!

The Julep Maven Program cost $19.99 a month. Every month you get an exclusive personalized box of over $40 worth of trendsetting polish colors and cutting-edge treatment products. 20% off all orders on Julep.com. Free shipping on ALL orders. And a "surprise and delight element."

In my first Maven box I got:

Julep Nail Polish Marisa - Dark, rich cobalt blue shimmer. $14.
Julep Nail Polish Oscar - ultra chic, multi-dimensional gold glitter. $14.
Julep Essential Cuticle Oil - All-natural blend of essential oils and Vitamin E. $18.
And the "surprise element" was a piece of dark chocolate. (lol :P)
All together the products cost $46 (plus tax where applicable)

I really like the nail polishes I got, and the cuticle oil is pretty good too. I would pay $19.99 for it, but Im way happy I got it for a single penny :)

Although I canceled my Maven membership, I would definitely do it again. (if I had the extra money to be spending on nail polishes every month) And if youre a nail junkie, and have the extra $20 for nail polishes a month I for sure recommend it to you! (plus you get a referral code, 2 credits=a free month)
There are a lot of benefits to the program, and I think its a really great idea.
I will for sure be doing it again in the future when I have a little extra money to spend. :)

Check out the Maven Program and all of Juleps great products at Julep.com.

An Inspiring Story.

"I am convinced that Kelly Teegarden Organics is my why for getting cancer. I am not a doctor. I never went to medical school. I do not diagnose or recommend treatments for disease. I am an average person that has discovered many scientifically proven facts to staying healthy and remaining cancer free. Unfortunately, I had to learn the very hard way."
(click to read the rest of Kelly's amazing story.)



Kelly Teegarden is an amazing woman who has gone through so much. But through her trials and tribulations, she created KTO, Kelly Teegarden Organics, The worlds first chemical free skin care line created by a cancer survivor. Doing over 5000 personal hours of research she found some shocking and disturbing information on cancer, and cancer causes. Including:

• The World Health Organization released a statement saying that 80% of the epidemic of cancer is due to cancer causing chemicals in skin care, oral hygiene and cosmetics.
• There is regulation of cancer causing ingredients in skin care.

The mission of KTO is a Chemical Free Skincare is to heal, nourish and protect.

I checked out the shade Jen, which, at first glance, its not the prettiest in my opinion..not something I would normally even look at in the store. But I tried it anyway, and when I put it on, I was actually pleased with the color. Its just a light bronze color, with the perfect shimmer to it.
The glosses have such amazing qualities, listed above. If you care about your body and what you put in and on it, it is worth every penny of the $25 youll be spending on these gorgeous glosses.
Normally I would be like what $25 for that size gloss, but the benefits are way worth it.(plus it has an LED light on it c: hehe)
