W3ll People

As you have read in recent posts, I have transitioned to using all natural beauty and skincare products.   What's exciting is that the number of natural beauty companies is increasing every day, so there are lots and lots of options.

I've been using Laura Mercier bronzer for years, and it is the last of my makeup products that is not natural. I don't like being wasteful, so I was waiting for it to be used up before I bought something new.

A few weeks ago the compact dropped on the floor, and what was left of the pressed powder cracked and broke into pieces....thus ending the life of the bronzer.

This presented the perfect opportunity to try a new, all natural bronzer. I was recently introduced to W3LL PEOPLE beauty products and decided their Bio Bronzer Powder would be my first purchase.

I've been using it for a few weeks now and really like it. I like the color (not too golden), it goes on nicely and the price is less than many other similar products. So, if you are looking to try something new, I highly recommend W3LL People. I'm looking forward to trying more of their products in the future. 

21 Bundles

Special deliveries come in all shapes and sizes, and the latest special delivery to land on your doorstep could be from 21 Bundles. 21 Bundles is a monthly subscription box that delivers natural products tailored to the specific month of a woman's pregnancy or a new babies life

Here's how it works.

You tell them how far along you are or your baby's age.

 Then they build a bundle of products (all natural) tailored to that stage.

 And each month for $39.99 the bundle is delivered to your door.

What does the bundle look like?

So, what's inside?

It's Birchbox for babies! I wish this was around when the Mini Fashionista was born!

Has anyone tried it?

Products We Love

Today I'm sharing my latest find from Pharmaca, Mop haircare products. I love the basil mint shampoo!!! If you haven't tried these products, I highly recommend them. 

Happy hair washing!

Lola

There are many products that we use everyday (or every month in this case) that are not pretty. They are not chic, but they are functional. Today's post is 100% about functionality. Today's post is about tampons. Exciting, right? 

I was recently introduced to Lola. A company that is taking a modern approach to feminine care.  

Lola tampons are 100% biodegradable, made with cotton sourced from Europe and a BPA free compact plastic application, utilized for comfort. “We realized if we want to get into the tampon industry, we’re going to have to brand our own products where we are 100% straightforward with women about what is in it and make it a natural ingredient,” says Friedman.

Since today's world is all about convenience, Lola makes it easy to avoid your monthly trip to the grocery store to buy tampons. They deliver exactly what you need when you need it. And not to worry, commitment phobes—you can pause, adjust, or cancel your subscription anytime.

Unlike the major tampon brands that don't disclose their ingredients, Lola tells you absolutely everything. No BS, no mystery fibers, no more doubts about what's going in your body.

Since I care so much about everything that I put on or in my body...food, cosmetics, etc. Lola is the perfect product for me. I took advantage of their "first time buyer" offer and got two boxes for $9. Unfortunately my shipment arrived just after "Aunt Flo's" departure, so I will have to wait for next months visit to give you my verdict. I'm pretty sure I'll be saying adios to Tampax. 

Products We Love: Babo Botanicals

Katie and I spent nearly every summer of our childhood participating in swim team. Back then we had blonder hair (like the Mini Fashionista), so you can imagine that by the end of the summer our hair had taken on a green hue. 

The Mini Fashionista takes swimming lessons two times a week during the year, and during the summer each session is a week long and lasts four days in a row. Needless to say, her blonde tips can very easily take on the same green hue.

A few months ago I started using Swim & Sport Shampoo and Wash from Babo Botanicals. 

It has been doing a great job of protecting the Mini's hair from the chlorine, and both of us love the smell. Since I liked the shampoo so much, I also picked up the detangler and conditioner.

You can never have too much chlorine protection.

On our recent trip to Sun Valley I left behind Sydney's Beauty Counter shampoo, conditioner and body wash, so I had to restock. I decided to try another one of the Babo Botanical varieties, the Berry Primrose shampoo & body wash and the conditioner. I like these just as much, and the smell is equally as fantastic.

The Babo mission is to manufacture the purest, highest quality and most sensitive hair, skin and sun products. They are made on an organic farm in the USA. Babo Botanicals was founded on the principles of delivering smart skin and hair care solutions crafted with rich, botanical performance-based ingredients for babies, kids and grown-ups too!

Next on my list is the sunscreen!

I highly recommend trying their products!
