Feel-Better Products

Uh, I woke up with a head cold today AND lots to do.  Not a good combo.  So, I grabbed a few select products and hit the shower.

Sweet Jessica of MADARA sent over some more products for me to try.  I wrote about a few of them here and the Shimmering Body Lotion is on my Holiday Gift List -- will give you more details on that one next week.  Today I used  the new MADARA hair care products -- Colour & Shine Shampoo and Conditioner.  These two hair care products have the most fabulous scent.  I know "spring meadow" is cliche but that really is what they smell like.  And they left my hair soft and shiny, all without any nasty ingredients.  Love 'em!  You can purchase MADARA products at b~glowing and Beauty Habit, or check them out on Open Sky.  I highly recommend these terrific products.

My complexion was looking super pale and sallow from lack of sleep and stuffed up-ness, so I knew a little exfoliation was in order.  Pratima Skincare Diamond Botanical Facial Refiner does the trick by gently sloughing away dry flaky skin, but leaves behing light moisture.  My skin loves this stuff.  I wrote about this product here but it is still not on the Pratima Skincare site.  Will let you know when it comes in.  If you want to make a great winter time exfoliant at home simply mix enough organic milk into organic sugar to make a scrub consistency and add a few drops of olive or sweet almond oil for hydration.  Works like a charm.

My head felt so heavy and achey, so I reached for the aromatherapy.  Aromatherapy Personals by NuWorld Botanicals are mixtures of targeted essential oils to suit many of life's ailments, in a convenient roller-ball bottle.  The Sinus Headache Personal really helps to clear and calm your head with its lavender/eucalyptus scent.  I will be dabbing this stuff on all day.

Can't wait to curl up under a blanket tonight with a cup of tea and just...re...lax...
