Recently, I was introduced to a new subscription service for moms like me...moms who care about being healthy, about the health of their children, about the health and wellbeing of our earth.
Since switching out my beauty product from chemical-laden to all natural, I had to give up several subbies, like Glossybox and Ipsy, because their products tend to be full of icky stuff.
There were only a couple of all natural subbies to start, but as people are beginning to realize what you put on your skin goes into your system, too, the world of natural beauty is expanding to meet the demand.
My newest all natural subscription box in this beautiful, good-for-you (and good for the world) niche:
Goodebox is a wonderful subscription box service that sends you natural beauty and wellness products each month for $21 per month. There are discounts if you choose 3, 6, or 12 month options...bringing the price down as low as $18 per month.
This was my June 2015 Goodebox
I've been very pleased so far with the monthly offerings, and the July box that I just got is no exception.
But what I really want to talk about now is their Bonus Boxes.
In our family, there are a few of us who suffer from dandruff.
I get seasonal dry scalp flaking, from time to time.
We've tried lots of different things over the years, including prescription strength shampoo. Some of it has worked, some of it didn't. But everything we tried had chemicals and other unnatural stuff in it, which I'm trying to avoid now, because it's...
not good for you, not good for the earth.
I'm VERY happy to report that I've found an answer to both the Dandruff issue AND the occasional dry scalp flaking, and it's natural!
So, you've noticed that I'm talking more and more about using things that are natural, organic, whole, and such...whether it's in my hair, on my face, or in my body.
(thank you Time Of Month), so I was needing a little extra-special facial care.
I decided to try out the "Pure & Essential Minerals Dead Sea Mud Mask" this weekend. In my quest to find all natural beauty care, I had recently come across it. It is available on Amazon, currently for $24.77.
The mask's main ingredient (and first on the ingredient list) is lovely greenish-gray Dead Sea Mud. This comes from THE Dead Sea...you know...the one between Israel and Jordan?
As previously mentioned, I'm trying to slowly convert more of my life to natural, organic and sustainable products.
I can't do it all at once, because that would be costly and a bit emotionally painful (goodbye to most of my current makeup!)...but I can do little bits here and there.
I recently found a few GREAT products that fit into my plan BEAUTIFULLY.
First, let me say that you are going to be noticing a shift here at the blog...towards things natural and organic. As my drive to be healthier and happier progressed, I realized that I needed for ALL of the products in my life to move toward natural and organic. I've been working on buying organic, whole foods for a while, now. But I just recently decided that it's time to change over all the products that my family uses, as well. So, you will be seeing lots more reviews for things that are natural and organic. I think this is the natural progression of the "Health Movement" and I hope you will join me in making some switches, too.
