Kimberly Sayer of London All-in-One Invigorating Lemon Scrub: I came across this product while skimming through Brides.com - not sure why I was doing such a thing, but I digress. Kimberly herself returned my inquiry email and was nice enough to send me some of this delicious, lemon-scented cream. The scent wakes me up in the morning (making me want to run to Dunkin’ Donuts for one of their lemon-filled pastries) while the organic lemon oils and vitamins A,C, and E work together with jojoba beads to scrub away the dry skin I want gone a.s.a.p… which will help me look good going to the gym to work off those donuts.
Seacret Spa: Salt from the Dead Sea is what you get in this scrub, which carries 21 minerals. Among them: magnesium, calcium, sulfur, bromide, iodine, sodium, zinc, and potassium. These minerals heal the skin and aid in cell metabolism. They also add Chamomile for relaxation and antioxidant benefits, as well as essential oils in the scents of Ocean, Apple, Vanilla, and Lavender. I like that this scrub is different in that it isn’t drowning in thick oil like some salt scrubs I have tried, but is simply the delicious smelling salt that you use on damp skin for the best effect.

The Summer is almost over; however, if you want to keep that summer like tresses (and smell) all year long… then try the Coolaulin, the pure and natural hair conditioner made with coconut oil. It’s surprisingly light weight yet super-moisturing, and one of Jolly Green Girl’s favorite picks. Brought to you by Lush, an Eco-conscious company based in the U.K. The socially minded company hand make all their natural and pure concoctions thats good for your body and the planet. Lush is a company that is VERY cruelty free by actively using and seeking companies that produce their ingredients without the use of animal testing.
Coolaulin is excellent for dry and coarse hair. I can attest; I have an arid dry skin and hair (I am a Vata) , yet this hydrating conditioner does its job and does it well. Its great for those modern, funky hair cuts that needs weighlessness and defiance of gravity. There’s no need for wax or gunk. Just use Coolaulin to get weightlessness and hydration. Should I mention how divine it smells. Reminds me of the beach, the sun, and quintessential endless summer. Now you can have Summers bottled with Coolaulin.

I always watched the Pantene models with wonder. How could anyone have such wonderfully silky, shiny hair? Come to find out it was silicones that did it. Fake Fake Fake and SO not good for you or the Planet. Giovanni Organics have come to the rescue. You can have frizz less hair without all the chemicals. Using a blend of Organic Oils and harvested from renewable plants. It’s Eco-conscious beauty inside and out. Their organic weightless leave-in conditioner is as good as it gets; pure, natural, and good for the environment.
I love the botanic smell and it really does feel weight-less, yet substantial enough to condition my asian persusian mane. It’s quite unmanageable at times. Did I mention it was cruelty free? I love how natural beauty companies take our furry little plants into consideration and not use them for things like animal testing.
Some of the ingredients listed are: Rosemary Oil, Chamomile, Thyme Oil, Clary, Lavender, and Soybean protein. Treat yourself to Pantene like hair without damaging your tress or Mother Earth.
