Natural Mascara Review, Giveaway, and Coupon Code!

I have a friend who told me I should never leave the house without earrings (I've given up on this one - sorry, Ruth).  Another friend told me to never leave the house without mascara.  This one, I've pretty much kept up with.  It's the ONLY makeup that I actually wear most days.  Truth is, I don't even ALWAYS follow this rule.  BUT, If I AM going to wear makeup, it's mascara!  

When I began my journey to living a more natural lifestyle, some things came easily.  I quickly learned how to make my own lotion, lip balm, diaper cream, and deodorant.  I also made some healing salves including my eucalyptus chest rub.  I branched out to dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, and soap.  I even started selling some of these products in my online store! 

But what was the one thing I had no desire to make?  That's right, mascara!  It seemed to be too confusing and messy.  So, I just continued spreading this on my eyelashes most days.  

One day, while perusing my local "natural mama's" Facebook group, I read about a lady who had just started making and selling natural mascara!  Yes!  This was my opportunity!  I contacted her right away and got some mascara.  

Boardwalk Beauty is a local (to me) business run by a fellow mom named Lauren.  Everything she makes is all natural and handmade in small batches.  The mascara is made to order since it doesn't contain any man made preservatives.  She's also more than happy to adjust any of her products to suit your needs!

What I LOVED about working with Boardwalk Beauty and using her mascara:

• She fully discloses ALL ingredients.  This is a big deal for me!  I am an ingredient list reader (top to bottom).  Not only did the mascara come with an ingredient list, she even told me where she purchased each ingredient and WHY each ingredient was in the mascara.
• Which leads us to the ingredient list: aloe vera gel, vitamin E, calcium bentonite clay, activated charcoal, cocoa powder.  
• Even though it doesn't contain synthetic preservatives, it lasts 3-6 months. I've had mine for 4 months, and it's still good to go!
• Lauren has been super nice and helpful!
• Her packaging was minimal yet sufficient.
• The mascara has good coverage.
• The price is very comparable to other mascara on the market!
• It's handmade and ALL natural.

Please excuse my wonky eyebrows here!

My only criticism: 

• It's not as thick as my old mascara, so I had to apply more than one coat. Sometimes, when switching to natural products there are just things that one must get over.  For me, this is one of them.  I did find that if I used my old brush, it helped some. 

Other products from Boardwalk Beauty:

• Lip balm in tubes, tins, and pots (Lemon Dream, Lime Twist, Hammock Time, Coconut Creme, Pier Peppermint, Wild Honey, Mint Chocolate Chip)
• Bath salts (Hammock Time - Lavender, Cinnamon Bay, Pink Lemonade, Orange Creamsicle)
• Cinnamon Bay Bronzing Butter and Scrub (which leaves a glow)
• Daily facial cleanser with chia oil and raw honey.

How you can purchase Boardwalk Beauty products and get a discount:

• Use code LEXIE2014 for 20% off entire purchase (this makes the mascara LESS THAN $10! (expires 9/16)
• Order mascara through her Etsy shop: BoardwalkBeauty
• Mascara and all other products can be seen and purchased through messaging her on Facebook.  Click here to see her products.

Blue Rose Humidifier & Essential Oil Bundle GIVEAWAY

Thank you for visiting our site today!  

We would love for you to sign up for our email list and 

join our Facebook page so that you don’t miss any updates!

Essential Oils are a powerful tool in any home. You can use them all over the house for safe and natural cleaning. Apply them to cuts, bruises, scrapes, and burns to help soothe pain and speed healing. Massage them onto your feet and muscles to help facilitate sleep, relaxation, and help soothe aches and pains. Or diffuse them using a humidifier to help purify the air of particles and toxins, kill odor, and make your house smell awesome! Positively Real Media Network (for like-minded “natural” Christian bloggers) is giving away a Blue Rose Ultrasonic Humidifier and a bundle of essential oils to use with it {worth over $380} to one lucky reader!

Blue Rose Humidifier

This humidifier is a perfect addition to any home and is different than most humidifiers. Instead of using hot water with huge particles that can settle around your room, the blue rose humidifier uses cool mists to distribute a finer water particle which is safe to use in all rooms, even in those with electronics.

The humidifier features a mood light {which works as a terrific night light for kids}, uses low amounts of power, and is very quiet to run. But the best part is that you can add essential oils to this humidifier and it disperses the oils throughout the room! It has a fragrance bottle receptacle that you can put essential oils directly into.

This powerful machine is great to use in every home's medicinal routine.  Read more about the Blue Rose humidifier from Kitchen Kneads. And if you don't win the giveaway, you can always purchase your own humidifier while it's on sale for only $59.99! Watch this video to see the humidifier in action:

Thank you for visiting our site today!  
We would love for you to sign up for our email list and 
join our Facebook page so that you don’t miss any updates!

An important part of eating a healthier diet is making sure to get whole grains instead of refined processed white wheat. But real whole wheat can go bad so quickly and the store bought variety is not always the freshest or healthiest. It is for these reasons that I grind my own wheat.  If your family is gluten free, you could still benefit greatly from owning this mill since you can grind rice, corn, beans, etc.  I'm very excited to announce that Positively Real Media Network (a network of bloggers that I am a member of) is giving away a Wondermill Grain Mill to one lucky reader! We are excited to offer this chance to win the world's #1 rated electric grain mill! Watch this video to learn more about the grain mill and why it's the perfect accessory for every kitchen.

Soap Nut Review and Giveaway (from The Laundry Ladies)

Thank you for visiting our site today!  
We would love for you to sign up for our email list and 
join our Facebook page so that you don’t miss any updates!

I normally make my own laundry detergent, but when I came across The Laundry Ladies at a local farmer's market selling soap nuts I just had to try them.  They graciously gave me some soap nuts and a laundry dryer bag to try.  The Laundry Ladies are offering FOUR of our readers a choice of the trial size soap nuts or the trial soap nut liquid (see giveaway at bottom).  AND, they are offering a 10% discount for our readers using code LEXIENATURALS10!  This code will be good until January 26, 2012 and can be used in their online store.

Soap nuts are actually a fruit from the Sapindus Mukorossi Tree.  The shells of this fruit contain saponin which produces suds and breaks up oils and dirt in clothing.  Learn more about soap nuts here.  

So, how do the soap nuts work?  You simply put 5 soap nuts into a muslin bag (included with purchase) and throw it into the wash with your dirty laundry.  You can reuse the same nuts 5 times or until they no longer produce suds and are grey in color.  I actually found that I could wash 6 or 7 times with some loads of laundry.  

The soap nuts come with detailed instructions and other uses.  You can also make a liquid version with the soap nuts by boiling them in water.

Other uses for soap nuts:

• household cleaning (windows, counters, sinks, floors, etc.)
• jewelry cleaning
• bathing
• hair washing

I used the soap nuts in the laundry, and I made a liquid version.  I used the liquid version to wash clothes and my hair.  Yes, my hair!  

What I loved:

• The soap nuts actually washed well.  The clothes were just as clean as if I'd used normal detergent. 
• Using soap nuts is a very frugal option.  You can buy 5 soap nuts for just $3 and since you reuse the same soap nuts that's about $0.60 per load (and only $0.19 if you buy the replenish bag for only $12).  It's even cheaper if you boil the nuts and make the liquid version (only about $0.09 per load).
• You can use them for so many different things.
• I love to reduce, reuse, and recycle and I really feel like using soap nuts helps me do just that.
• It cleaned my hair nicely without over drying.
• I didn't feel the need to re-rinse my towels like I do with conventional detergent because there aren't many suds when using soap nuts.
• The lavender dryer bag was heavenly. It made my clothes smell so very nice! I just wish it lasted more than a few loads.  

What I didn't love:

• When I made the liquid version I could hardly stand the smell, BUT once I added some lavender essential oil it was much better!
• I couldn't use the soap nuts on my soiled kitchen towels.  I only wash once a week so my towels sit all week in a container.  Perhaps they'd work if I washed more often.
• While I found the liquid version to work on my hair, I didn't just love it for the clothes.  I found the soap nuts worked much better.

Overall?  I really loved using the soap nuts and dryer bag.  The Laundry Ladies were very helpful with my questions and I loved working with them to bring you this giveaway.  

Don't forget that you can use the code LEXIENATURALS10 to get 10% off your order with The Laundry Ladies through January 26, 2013. Visit their website to see all of their other fabulous products.

*The Laundry Ladies did provide me with soap nuts, a muslin bag, and a lavender dryer bag; however, I was in no way paid to write this review.  Nor was I obligated to write a positive review.  This review is my personal opinion of the products I tried.

Win 1 quart of Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil!

I was delighted when Tropical Traditions offered me 1 quart of their Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil!  I have been using coconut oil for years now in my homemade skin care products, but it wasn't until a few months ago that I actually began cooking with it. 

I noticed a difference in Tropical Traditions from the time I opened the box!  I was even more blown away when I opened the jar of coconut oil!  It smelled so delicious that I wanted to eat a spoonful of it right then!  I didn't.  

I have been using it as a spread on bread and bagels, to grease my pans for baking, when sauteing, baking, and many other things.

I also used it to make some lotion bars, and they are heavenly.  I mixed some Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil with cocoa butter and it made me smell like a candy bar!

Tropical Traditions is America’s source for coconut oil. Their Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is hand crafted in small batches by family producers, and it is the highest quality coconut oil they offer.
