In the midst of another very cold Winter, my sinuses inevitably become irritated and a runny nose becomes a daily occurrence. Between the dry air outside and the even drier air created indoors by the heater, keeping the area just below the nose from becoming a flaky mess can be a bit of a Winter challenge.
Still,...

A few weeks ago I posted about my surprise at finding a mascara (Physicians Formula: Organic Wear Mascara) that actually appears to be natural and gluten-free. So the ingredients passed the test, but my trials did not.
I’ve now used the mascara many times, but also gone back to other favorites...

One HUGELY popular gluten-free topic is hair loss.

When your skin looks great, looking fabulous is easy!
With Winter here in the mountains freezing us to the bone, I took to my medicine cabinet to help make things a bit easier to bear.
First I applied a coat of self tanner and allowed it to work it’s magic over night. Then I mixed up this Sea Spray...

Realizing that I am in desperate need of a new mascara, I decided to check out the selection at CVS while I was picking up tissues for a Winter cold. I really wasn’t sure whether I would find anything to even purchase, as I am quite skeptical of most mass market cosmetic brands. Most are owned...

Healthier makeup is an ever-evolving concept. Ironically, makeup’s origins were in nature, but with derivatives of mercury and lead, they were anything but good for you.
We are fortunate to live in a time in which the cosmetic industry is feeling the force of the customer and turning away from...

My Aha Moment
I was SO excited and honored to be contacted recently by the Mutual of Omaha “My Aha Moment” tour while they were in Asheville. I was invited for an interview about my own moment of realization that aligned me with my “path.” And for me that moment was putting...

As my hair grows longer and gets more tangled–a price I pay for having fine hair–I find myself going through more shampoo and conditioner than ever and needing to get the full bang for my buck.
But after much trial and error I began to fear that I’d never find natural, gluten-free products...

I love a product that surpasses my expectations!
I had only just received an inquiry about Derma E products, when I received a sample of their Microdermabrasion Scrub packaged neatly with my Skin Botanica order. But there are so many scrubs on the market, and few actually perform as promised.

This morning I did a lengthy beauty blog post about my use of minute amounts of Iron Oxides for pigmentation in my natural Gluten Free Beauty cosmetics. Every other aspect of the line is 100% natural, but for the few color products, Iron Oxides were the purest, best option for creating skin-enhancing color products. There

Let’s face it dull, limp even thinning hair can be a real confidence killer. My hair was utterly disappointing me until just a couple of weeks ago.
