Scential Health Cinnamon Bark


Remember growing up and eating Cinnamon Hots? That is the pleasant memory that assaulted my taste buds when I reviewed this product as a mouth wash. I added 2 drops to purified water. I keep a glass shot glass in my bathroom (why not?) for mouthwash as it is the perfect size for a quick swizzle of mouthwash. The cinnamon quickly sunk to the bottom of the glass so I had to stir it first. Cinnamon is beneficial for gingivitus, or tooth infections. I have sensitive teeth and was quite impressed by how enjoyable gurgling with this elixir was! Cinnamon goodness and memories all in one!

I also added 2 drops to 4 oz of purified water to an atomizer to use as a natural bathroom spray. I love cinnamon year round but this would be a great house gift to give a hostess and a Christmas present as well. I found glass atomizers on Ebay that were quite nice and inexpensive. So much less than a commercial spray and better for you and the environment.

Because Cinnamon is a "hot oil" you cannot apply to your skin without a carrier oil and even then some people are sensitive to it. I hear it is good for sore joints and muscles. It is also a mood elevator, and so for this reason, I decided to diffuse it in my diffuser and it was heavenly! I am diffusing it now. Do you see me smiling?!

I plan on experimenting with almond oil and Epsom salts to make a bath soak. I know I must sparingly add the Scential Health Cinnamon Bark as a little goes a long way. I loved this product. I appreciate its unique properties and the generous size of the bottle. The essential oils by Scential Health are affordable and have no fillers. Reviewing this product was so enjoyable!

Infuse Life by LifeStyle Dynamics




Perfect for two purposes! After reviewing this affordable and unique product, I realized this was the bike water bottle that I have been searching for! My husband and I often take bike rides in the early morning hours before breakfast. This water bottle is the perfect size for the water bottle holder on my bike.

But, there is a bonus with this product! A red basket suspends into the middle of the bottle for fresh fruit and herbs. I have to say, though that I removed the clear plastic holder as I like popping a stainless straw into the bottle when we stop for a drink. The red fruit holder still kept the fruit in place. If I was not using a straw to drink, I would add the clear plastic ring to prevent a berry from escaping the basket.

The second idea I had for this BPA-free 22 oz bottle was for a sippee cup! I know that sounds silly, but adding fruit to the bottle and giving to your child would be a great idea. Why not? It is dishwasher safe and if dropped, will not spill. It can be the next step toward the big boy or big girl cup!

This product is also Made in the USA. I am very excited about this grab and go item. The red basket is cheery although my husband would choose the blue! To check out this product visit http://lifestyledynamics.com/our-products/.

Rosehip Seed Oil by Elrique Naturals


I started out this review targeting my skin. I applied this oil to my freshly washed face and decollete. I did not honestly notice a difference after 5 nights of using it on my skin.

However, strike up the band....because this product is a hidden "diamond in the rough" in regard to haircare! I first applied the oil directly to the ends of my dry hair. The oil was light and not greasy and the blond highlights shone through so beautifully.

I took this review a bit farther. I applied to freshly washed and damp hair. I had been looking for an alternative to the chemical laden and animal cruel products that I had previously used to keep my hair from looking curly and frizzy. I tried coconut oil and it was a disaster! Greasy and gross. 

Honestly, I am so glad that after applying 6 or 7 pumps to my entire head, I saw that my hair was not greasy, but tastefully slicked back. For some reason, this oil allowed a bit of radiance to show through and actually hid the subtle grays that I always try to camouflage as blonde!

I am very excited about this product! Also, it is cruelty free and organic. I had read another review and am interested in learning more about this oil being a carrier oil. Reviews are so important but actually using the products is invaluable!

Thank you to Elrique Naturals for making such a versatile product. Although I would rather have this product arrive in an amber glass bottle, this 2 HDPE bottle is the next best thing! I will reuse this bottle long after I have used the product as the pump is perfect not only for oils, but lotions as well.

Vitamin C & CoQ10 Age Defying Masque by Elrique Naturals



 I was very happy to be notified by HealthBiz Direct Inc. that I could take a bit more time to review this healthy yummy face masque! I took the extra time to do some experimenting. I first followed the directions on the jar. I applied a thin layer of masque onto clean skin and after 5 minutes rinsed off. My skin felt smooth and moisturized. 

However, my favorite part of using this product the first time was the scent. It was so fresh and I was reminded of a Creamsicle. I know! Call me crazy, but the color of the product jump started this thought in my head (it is truly a beautiful peach color). As I twisted the lid off, I was greeted with yummy creamsicle goodness in sight as well as smell. Draw me a bath and dump a tubload of this product in and I would be happy forever!

Back to the Practical Matter of Beauty
My next idea was to apply this masque early in the morning. I left it on until lunch. I enjoyed the sweet smell and I was able to swish a loofah across my face. The gentle buff with warm water ushered in a pretty glow - almost a mini microdermabrasion session! I loved it!

Finally, my favorite way to use this product is to apply at night before bed after a hot shower while my skin was dewy and clean. I applied to the decollete (why not, when this is a generous 4 oz jar?). I also applied to the skin on the top of my hands and then added cotton gloves. I slept in my Elrique Naturals Vitamin C & CoQ10 Age Defying Masque and I woke up happy! 

The best part of reviewing products is being reminded that the best products do not animal test, are Made in the USA  and do not contain "bad for you" chemicals! This product falls into all of those categories. You can see the ingredients at Amazon.com

One comment I have is that I noticed on the jar that this product is also for Hair Rejuvenation, however I saw no mention of this on the Amazon page. I will be experimenting with this Elrique Naturals product as a leave-in conditioner. After all, who doesn't want to enter a room smelling like Creamsicles!

Excruflex - Every First Aid Kit Needs This Product!


As a seeker of solely organic products, my goal is to replace everything in my life that does not contribute to the overall good health of my family and my environment. Excruflex is 87% organic content. While I would love to tell you that it is 100% organic, it is not. However, I give rave reviews of this product because it literally beats every other option I would consider for deep tissue and muscle pain and I do appreciate the 87% organic content. 

This product is manufactured in Orlando, Florida. Score one for American Made! The ergonomically designed pump is quite handy. This bottle at 4 oz. is a generous size. The gel is an orange shade and has an orange top note. Spearmint is the next essential oil that is so evident and so refreshing. 

However, the unexpected cooling sensation happened so fast upon applying to my skin, that I was quite taken off guard by the strength of this cooling gel! The cooling lasted several minutes. For this reason, this product is an exceptional muscle relaxant. I am an avid swimmer and this will be product I use often after those sprint mornings when I need a muscle relaxer. I am happy to have Excruflex in my first aid kit! I recommend this product be in everyone's first aid kit as well!

I have listed the ingredients below because I found it difficult to read the ingredients on the Amazon seller's page.
 
Aloe Barbadensis (Organic Aloe) Leaf Juice, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Mentha Arvensis (Menthol) Crystals, Capsicum (Capsicum Annuum) Oleoresin, Cinnamomum Camphora (White Camphor) Essential Oil, Ocimum Basilicum (Sweet Basil) Essential Oil, Piper Nigrum (Black Pepper) Essential Oil, Anthemis Nobilis (Roman Chamomile) Flower Essential Oil, Chamomilla Recutita (German Chamomile) Flower Essential Oil, Cinnamomum Zeylanicum (Cinnamon) Leaf Essential Oil, Cymbopogon Winterianus (Citronella) Essential Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus (Eucalyptus) Leaf Essential Oil, Helichrysum Italicum (Helichrysum) Essential Oil, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Essential Oil, Citrus Paradisi (Pink Grapefruit) Essential Oil, Juniperus Communis (Juniper) Berry Essential Oil, Cymbopogon Flexuosus (Lemongrass) Essential Oil , Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Essential Oil, Pinus Sylvestris (Pine) Needle Essential Oil, Ravensara Aromatica (Ravensara) Essential Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Essential Oil, Mentha Spicata (Spearmint) Essential Oil, Origanum Vulgare (Wild Oregano) Essential Oil, Glycerin, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water, Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Carbomer, Triethanolamine (TEA), Tetrasodium EDTA

Scential Health Joy By HealthBizDirect, Inc.



I dropped 6 drops in the palm of my hand and rubbed my palms together and then breathed in deeply. I repeated this process a few times. I felt revived! Inhaling deeply is good for our healthy anyways and so why not inhale Joy?

This Premium Synergistic Blend Of Anise, Cinnamon Leaf, Clary Sage, Lemon, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang and Jasmine essential oils is heaven in a bottle! Lemon is on the forefront of this essential oil. I also detect Clary Sage which I am new to, but can recognize it. I am loving it!

Here is a great gift idea - for  pennies: Birthday Bath Salts - Mix 1 cup each of Epsom Salt and baking soda and 20-30 drops of Scential Health Joy. Use 1/4 cup per bath. Put into a cute container or mason jar. Wrap with a ribbon or raffia bow. 

Scential Health Joy can be worn as a perfume. I have a pretty glass spray bottle for my purse. So much healthier than a perfume loaded with chemicals and alcohol!  This essential oil is 100% Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils and contains No Fillers, Additives, Bases Or Additive.  

HealthBizDirect, Inc. continues to offer an amazing product for a competitive price. Please visit this company and support their commitment to Made in America.
