100% Tea Tree Essential Oil by Simply Earth***Mask Monday***

*100% Tea Tree Essential Oil by Simply Earth

Happy Mask Monday!!  Tea Tree Oil is the #1 ingredient that I like to add when I am doing a Mud Mask.  Tea Tree Oil does so many wonderful things for skin which makes it the perfect ingredient to add to a Mud Mask. (recipe for my Tea Tree Oil Mud Mask is listed below)
The most common uses for Tea Tree Oil are for Acne, Cold Sores, Psoriasis Itchy insect bites, sores and sunburns and it is even used to help treat congestion and respiratory tract infections.  Recently, I have been using it to help clear up the cold/flu thing that has been hanging around.  Since Tea Tree Oil is an antiviral essential oil I just add a few drops to a steaming bowl of hot water, cover my head with a towel and breathe in the vapors for five to ten minutes.  It really does help clear my sinuses and it just feels like it's working away killing off all the germs!

I have mentioned Simply Earth here on my blog before and they use only 100% pure ingredients and there are no additives and their oils are undiluted.  The other really cool thing about Simply Earth is that they donate a percentage of their profits to different causes and this month they are donating 13% of the profits from purchases to The Hope Project to help end human trafficking!  That in itself is a beautiful thing.  I am always behind a company that gives back!

Tea Tree Oil Mud Mask:

1 Tbsp Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay
1 Tbsp Water (the warmer the water the better)
3-4 drops of 100% Tea Tree Essential Oil by Simply Earth

Mix together all ingredients until smooth then apply, preferably with a brush, then let dry for about 20 minutes then rinse to reveal fresh, clean, soft and smooth skin!  If you need more mask just simply add equal parts of the Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay and Water.  You can also add more Tea Tree Oil if you would like it to be a little more intense.
I found the perfect little Mask Mixing Bowl Set on Amazon that comes with bowl, measuring spoons, mixing spatula and brush and I use it to mix all my loose powder masks so be sure to check that out as well (it's only $2.09!).

You can find this 100% Tea Tree Essential Oil by Simply Earth on simplyearth.com and Amazon.com...

100% Pine Essential Oil by Simply Earth

*100% Pine Essential Oil by Simply Earth

Who knew Pine Essential Oil can be used for such a wide variety of health benefits!  For instance, Pine Essential Oil can be used to help treat psoriasis, eczema, blemishes and other skin issues.  It can also be used to treat pain resulting from things like swollen joints or arthritis.  Just applying some Pine Essential Oil to the affected areas will help reduce inflammation and redness and simultaneously eliminating the pain.
Aromatherapy is another great way to enjoy the benefits of 100% Pine Essential Oil by Simply Earth.  You can combine with other Essential Oils like Cedarwood, Rosemary, Lavender or Sage to make your own Aromatherapy elixir and enjoy the stress relief benefits.  Or just massage in a little Pine Oil on the back of your neck and feel the tension melt away!  It can also provide mental clarity and relieve anxiety.
Are you going to be adding Pine Oil to your Essential Oil arsenal?  As always, only use all natural or Organic Essential Oils like the ones from Simply Earth.  I have mentioned Simply Earth here on my blog before and they use only 100% pure ingredients and there are no additives and their oils are undiluted.  The other really cool thing about Simply Earth is that they donate a percentage of their profits to different causes and this month they are donating 13% of the profits from purchases to The Hope Project to help end human trafficking!  That in itself is AMAZING.  I am always behind a company that gives back!

*Organic 28 Day Detox Tea by YSEKU ORGANICS

After the Holidays is the perfect time to start a detox!  I like to do a detox about once a month anyway but I usually do a pretty intense one at the end of the year or right at the beginning.  It just depends what my schedule is like during those time frames.

I like to drink my Organic 28 Day Detox Tea by YSEKU ORGANICS first thing in the morning to help get my metabolism going and so it helps keep my appetite in check.  I also like to have a cup around 1 p.m. or 2 p.m. in the afternoon for a little pick me up.  It smells great and has a great taste with a little kick to it.

While I haven't been loosing any weight while I have been drinking this tea for the last few weeks (I don't consider waste weight loosing weight) I have definitely felt more invigorated and I have had a lot more energy.  The best thing is that I don't find myself reaching for a sugary afternoon snack and my appetite is sufficiently suppressed!

Face Moisturizer by Spirit Naturals

*Face Moisturizer by Spirit Naturals

I thought I my age I wouldn't be dealing with oily skin anymore.  Wrong!  Even at 42 I still have very oily skin.  People always tell me it's a blessing and that it will help keep me looking younger longer but for me it's just a big pain.  I am constantly trying out products that will help me keep my oily skin in check.  For me, it's all about finding the right moisturizer that balances out my skin.

For the last few weeks I have been using this Face Moisturizer by Spirit Naturals and so far I have been really impressed! What I like most about this moisturizer is that it's made with all natural and Organic ingredients like Jojoba Oil, Hemp Oil and Vitamins B5, E, and B12 which is important for me and my skin.

This lotion is lightweight, is quickly absorbed and leaves skin feeling nourished and hydrated not greasy or oily at all.  It really helps balance my oily skin and prep it for makeup.  One pump is enough to cover my entire face and neck so a little goes a long way which means the 1.7 oz. bottle will last me a long time!

So far so good with this Face Moisturizer by Spirit Naturals!  It has helped keep my oily skin in check while keeping my skin hydrated at the same time.  I also have not experienced any breakouts from this which happens sometimes with moisturizers.

I would recommend this moisturizer for all skin types!

True Glow Eye Cream by Valentia

*True Glow Eye Cream by Valentia

As a beauty blogger you can probably imagine that I am slightly obsessed with skincare and you would be right!  One skincare product that I think you should start using as early as your late teens is an Eye Cream.  A good Eye Cream can make all the difference.  You really start showing your age around your eyes first (at least that is where it's most noticeable first) and it's why the earlier you can start using an Eye Cream the better.

When looking for an Eye Cream you should pick one that only uses quality natural and Organic ingredients like this True Glow Eye Cream by Valentia.  This True Glow Eye Cream contains Organic Rosehip Oil, Vitamin C, Astaxanthin and Arnica among others.  Combined these ingredients helps brighten up dark circles, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helps tighten and smooth, reduces puffiness and leaves eye area feeling well hydrated.  Everything you want from a good Eye Cream!

The cream itself has the appearance and feeling of a thicker cream but once it's applied it is instantly absorbed into skin and it wears perfectly under makeup.  Once pump is all you need for both eyes, a little goes a long way.  For best results I gently dab in the True Glow Eye Cream by Valentia all around my eye area and if I have any of the Eye Cream left over I will also use it on my neck!

This Eye Cream has everything that I look for in a great Eye Cream and more!  You can purchase the True Glow Eye Cream by Valentia on Amazon.com...

Triple Milled French Soaps by FLEUR D' EXTASE

*Triple Milled French Soaps by FLEUR D' EXTASE

I'm what I like to call a bit of a soap snob, if there is such a thing.  I don't usually buy soap from the drug store or just any ol' place.  I usually buy my soaps at Ross or T.J. Maxx where I find special Triple French Milled soaps that smell amazing and leave my skin feeling and smelling pretty incredible and they at a fraction of what they normally cost.  Triple French Milled is the process in which the soap is made.  The soap mixture is passed through high pressure steel rollers a minimum of three times, which is where "Triple French Milled" comes from.  The result of this process means the soap will be free of impurities, it will be more dense which means it will last a lot longer than a typical soap and it will be smoother and more creamy.  Basically, it's soap at it's best!

So, I was beyond excited to see this beautiful box of Triple Milled French Soaps by FLEUR D' EXTASE over on Amazon.  They are Triple French Milled, all natural, smell amazing thanks to the added Essential Oils of Lavender, Tahitian Vanilla and Rose among others and they come in a adorable gift box.  Wonderful little soaps that leave my skin feeling clean and smelling pretty amazing, if I do say so myself!
