Do you have achy joints?
What about acne?
How about frequent headaches?

You may have inflammation.

Inflammation is the bodies response to toxins in the body. So how does that happen?
Our bodies are such a wonderful creation, but it was not meant to consume and digest most of the foods and medications that are available today.

Inflammation is your immune systems way of saying, "WHOA, something is not right!!"

Eating healthy, fresh food choices can reduce the amount of inflammation you experience.

If you have followed my blog long enough, you have heard me say that I suffer from acne.
Not just a mild break out here and there, but a full blown pizza face...and neck, back and chest!!

It's embarrasing that I still suffer in my thirties!

I have tried many things to help clear my face up and have actually found a few things that helped. I would not say "cured" my acne because in all reality that happens from the inside.

Although I have tamed the beast, I still get flare ups around that special week once a month.
I limit my sugar, dairy and white refined bread products. I also have a strict facial routine. Which I will share in a later post.

I was given the opportunity to review Keeva and wanted to share my experience.


Here is the product description:

MY EXPERIENCE:

I did notice that it toned the redness in my skin down a few notches. Around my t-zone it is always red, like a crazy air mask was glued to my face and quickly removed...ouch.
It had a nice cooling effect after being applied, like kinda minty feeling.
There was NO burning or irritation which impressed me.

I will keep this in my cabinet and use this from time to time.

It's inevitable with three kids that someone is going to scrape their knees and elbows on the concrete!! When I go to play doctor mom, I want to use something safe AND effective. So I made my very own homemade neosporin spray.

First, let's explore what is in the go-to product.

Drug store neosporin is made with petroleum jelly along with three antibiotics. 

Why is this so bad? The petroleum jelly for one. What exactly is petroleum jelly?

Well it is Petroleum , the crude oil waste from oil rigs that is distilled and sold to the public for uses in cosmetics and healing creams. 

That is just disgusting to me!! We are putting fossil fuels on our bodies every time we get a cut or scrape! What about in diaper creams? Don't even get me started!!

What about the antibiotic neomycine? Here is an article written by a medicine doctor on why he does not like neosporin. That should be enough right there to make you go throw that tube in the trash!!

Ok, so now you have no boo-boo cream, what do you do??

Well you can just wash it in warm soapy water and let nature take its course, or you can apply a little of my homemade neosporin spray.

Here is what you will need:

A small spray bottle (this recipe fills 10ml bottle)

10 drops of Frankincense Essential Oil

10 drops Tea Tree Oil

10 drops Lavender Essential Oil

Witch Hazel to top it off

All these ingredients are antibacterial, antiseptic and have amazing healing properties to them. 

Shake gently before using and spray lightly onto the effected area. Let it dry.
You may or may not choose to apply a band-aide now, that is up to you.

This works just as well as any over the counter stuff, but is way better for you!!

We all see the homemade solid/paste recipes for deodorant, but those are next to impossible to carry around with you in the hot summer months in your purse. So I went on a quest to find a homemade spray deodorant that I could take anywhere. 

First I researched herbs and essential oils that are antibacterial and antiseptic. 

These are some that I came up with:

Frankincense

Tea Tree

Lavender

Rose Geranium 

I also researched what would be the best things to add to those oils that would keep body odor at bay, and not irritate the skin. Most recipes online used alcohol (like everclear) and witch hazel. Others used some aloe vera jel, while some used distilled water.

My brain got to thinking. What about the baking soda? No one had baking soda. I like baking soda!!

So after thinking about it and trying to figure out the ratios- I did look at several websites and found a common denominator and built my recipe upon those.

DIY Spray Deodorant Recipe

1/4 cup high percentage clear alcohol (not rubbing alcohol)

1/4 cup witch hazel

1/4 cup aloe vera jel- do not use the sunburn gel from drug stores!

1/4 tsp baking soda

10 drop essential oil of choice

Take a bowl or spray container and add all the contents. Shake up to dissolve the baking soda.

Shake before each use and spray lightly onto each arm. Let dry for a minute.

I tried this only a few times because I found it to be a little to heavy for my skin.
It has a nice creamy consistency and no fragrance which was a plus.

I am in love with the design and the push pump that distributes just the right amount of cream.


New York Biology uses 2.5% retinol which is pretty high considering most only use 1% that is recommended by the FDA.

Below is the product description.

I wanted to love this product but I only rated it with 3 stars on Amazon because it left me sticky...

Retinol is in short, Vitamin A.

 It's an effective ingredient that has the ability to communicate with any skin cell telling it to act like a  younger, healthy skin cell.

It is also an antioxidant that can stop the free-radical process that damages skin and causes wrinkling and other signs of aging. Retinol has been shown to increase collagen production, help fade discolorations from sun damage, along with other skin care benefits.

I have tried many all natural shampoos that I was realy disappointed with. 

For one, many of them did not produce a lather.

Now, I know, you do not need a lather to clean your hair. 

But when you like a lather, expect a lather and do not get it, it leaves you wanting.

I really like First Botany's Argan Oil Shampoo because it has many oils present that are great for treating damaged hair like Jojoba oil, coconut oil and many more.

Argan oil is rich in omega 3 and 9 fatty acids that will help heal split ends which is a must for someone with long uncut hair!!

Here is what the company has to say about it:

This is not a regular shampoo but a therapeutic shampoo. Argan oil spearheads our formula and helps supply shine and a healthy look to the hair with its abundance of Vitamin E, carotene & essential fatty acids. Our Argan Shampoo helps to remove follicle-clogging sebum, fatty acids and environmental residues from the scalp skin and hair. Hypoallergenic, contains 100% pure Argan Oil of the Highest Quality and Purity. Gentle, Sulfate Free Shampoo great for all hair types, including color treated hair. The Argan oil-infused formula absorbs instantly to fill gaps in hair made by heat, styling and environmental damage. 

Application is a simple as your old shampoo, but with remarkably great results. After rinsing hair, dispense a quarter size of shampoo and massage into hair from the scalp to ends. Allow shampoo to sit for two to three minutes allowing oils to penetrate scalp and hair.It gently cleanses hair without stripping essential moisture and oils (also does not strip color). 

If you had a color treatment on your hair, applying this product will help you remove the brittleness of the hair and restore its natural smoothness. For those who love to treat and have their hair styled very often, this product will definitely help in the repair and restoration of damaged hair due to styling.

Overall, I really liked this product. It smells great and helped to make my hair really soft and shiny.

Did you know that women have testosterone in their bodies? 

Well, we do. Its only 5-10% of what men have running through their veins, but we still have it. 

Testosterone levels that are slightly elevated are normal but can cause a little extra hair growth. Especially in areas we would rather not have it, like our face.

I do not have a ton of extra facial hair, but have noticed within the last year my peach fuzz on my upper lip has gotten more noticeable. 

I have also noticed I am getting what I call "granny hairs" under my chin. 

These hairs are LONG, WIRY and ANNOYING.

I usually use the tweezers to pluck them out when I see them, but after using the QStick, I may never use tweezers again.
