I can’t even begin to count all the hours I have spent researching online and scouring the supermarket aisles for the perfect natural skin care products that weren’t choke full of chemicals and so expensive that my lunch would consist of Ramen noodles for a month. Thankfully all my research and sleuthing has paid off.

           Honey has been known as the Holy Grail of skin care for centuries. It’s antibacterial properties make it great for treating the satanic skin plague known more commonly as acne and other infections.

Today was my first ever time in a Himalayan salt cave, it was simply beautiful! 😍 Himalayan Salt is rich in minerals such as iodine, potassium and bromide. Usually, we get these by eating it — but apparently we can absorb them by sitting in a room with the stuff . We are depleted of these micro-elements because of water pollution and our poor diet. Micro-elements like bromide have a calming effect on the brain. If you are stressed out, you can become calm in a natural way. Also Himalayan salt generates Negative ions which occur more often in nature and they are often created by things like lightening storms, sunlight, waterfalls, and ocean waves. This is one of the reasons people often report feeling renewed or refreshed after a storm or at the beach. Positive ions are often created by electronic devices like computers, TVs, microwaves, and even vacuum cleaners and can often exacerbate problems like allergies, stress and sleep trouble. Negative ions can neutralize positive ions (they bond together) and help cleanse the air. Anyways Long story short, there are tons of amazing benefits. Eat the stuff and have salt lamps in your home, office etc because they are beautiful, and you will feel wonderful!

If you want to pratice natural hair care and want super healthy moistured hair, oil is going to be your best friend! I just had to reblog this becuase people are often mistaken in thinking that any type of oil will deeply moisturize hair. The three oils above are able to penetrate the hair shaft as oposed to other oils which only temporarily coat the hair shaft. All three oils are quite fabulous and will bless you with moisturized hair, but what's even more fabulous is their inexpensive! Olive oil is a definite perosnal favorite of mine, but I would like to expand my oil horizons and try Coconut oil.
