Refreshing

I just got home from a weekend getaway to New York City with my stepmom and sister. It was a great time in the concrete jungle. Lots of laughs, sweating (it was HOT), and walking!!

After returning home it was time to give my body a good cleansing with my go to products I use on myself. I love these products because they are as natural as I can get right now. I try to focus on the products being handmade, in the US or having a small list of ingredients. And if they are organic that is a huge PLUS!!

From head to toe....

I just recently switched to using this facial cleanser. Lush is a great brand because their products are handmade and use natural ingredients I can understand the name of ;) This cleanser is a scrub (using chopped almonds) so it was very refreshing after two days on the streets of NYC. 

I follow up my facial cleanser with this AMAZING toner. It is very refreshing and great for all skin types. I tend to have dry to normal skin and this toner helps maintain my natural moisture level. I spray it right onto my face and gently pat dry. 

This trio here I have newly discovered also. You can find it at Trader Joe's. I love that most of the ingredients are organic except for one so it is mostly organic #winning. And it's very cost effective which makes it double winning ;) and I love the peppermint aroma in the shower!

I also love Dr. Bronner's Castile soap. I started using it about a year ago because I was tired of feeling like I had a film of body wash on my skin from some of the other brands out there. And a little bit goes a LONG way, which is even better!  My favorite scents are eucalyptus and almond. This soap is a true cleanser and actually can be used for many household cleaning projects. It's multi-talented. Another plus is that it is sold in Bed Bath & Beyond stores, so you can use their 20% coupons toward the soap.  

And I like to finish up using this coconut oil as my moisturizer. It's amazing!! The best "lotion" I have ever used that has lasted. It is very thin so you won't feel greasy after applying if you use moderate proportions. And it has a nice smell. 

There you have it. After I had my cleanse Sunday evening I was back to normal and feeling good!!
