Natural Beauty: John Masters Organics

August 27, 2020 2
I have long hair. Ok, I have really long hair. My hair is almost down to the bottom of my back. Since I do have so much hair, I am always looking for great Organic hair products that won’t make my hair frizzy or poofy. (These are the two things that my hair loves to do, frizz or poof.) I am also a huge fan of organic body washes and lotions and I want beauty products that are good for me, good for the Earth and that work well.

I have been using John Masters Organics for a couple of months now and I am all around elated with their products. John Masters Organics has no harsh chemicals, uses only the finest botanicals and is considered to be the only luxury line for natural beauty that also has respect for the Earth. John Masters Organics has been making lovely beauty care products for over 20 years and has a fabulous line of over 30 products. I myself, would love to try them all.

I received the John Masters Organics Evening Primrose Shampoo, Citrus and Neroli Detangler, Sweet Orange and Silk Protein Styling Gel, Blood Orange and Vanilla Body Wash and Blood Orange and Vanilla Body Milk. All of the products are fabulous and smell delicious.

My favorite products were the Blood Orange and Vanilla Body Wash and Body Milk, the Citrus and Neroli Detangler, the Shine On and the Sweet Orange and Silk Protein Styling Gel.

The Blood Orange and Vanilla Body Wash and Body Milk are lovely. The fragrance is amazing and soothing. Jayson always tell me how pretty I smell after I have showered with my John Masters Organics Blood Orange and Vanilla Body Wash.

The Citrus and Neroli Detangler is great because it takes all of the tangles out of my long hair, which is no easy feat and has a fabulous scent. This is also Eben’s favorite, since he has long hair as well.

The Shine On is an amazing leave in hair treatment that uses organic kelp to create incredible shine and softening. I liked that it didn’t weigh my hair down or leave it oily or dirty looking. It is a wonderful product that I use almost everyday.

The Sweet Orange and Silk Protein Styling Gel is great at smoothing your hair without the hard gel look. It looks very natural and clean, which I love.

You should give John Masters Organics and try for yourself. John Masters Organics is offering my readers 20% off any products from the John Masters Organics Haircare line now through June 30th. Simply enter the coupon code sg20 at checkout.

Enjoy and let me know what you think after using John Masters Organics.

Please send me your pics, I would love to see how the products are working for you.

Green Community: Help Someone See

August 25, 2020 2

Have you ever thought of what it would be like to not be able to see? I actually have, because, without my contacts or glass, I can not even see my hand in front of my face. (just a big blur) So to hear that 1 billion people in developing countries are in need of glasses but are unable to afford them (glasses would cost them 3 months’ worth of salary) breaks my heart. I can’t imagine being robbed of my eyesight simply because I couldn’t afford eyewear.

4 million pairs of eyeglasses are thrown away each year in North America. Instead of throwing away your old glasses, donate them to Unite For Sight. Unite for Sight is an international leader in providing eye care worldwide. If 50% of the children in institutions for the blind in Africa had eyeglasses, they would be able to read normal to large print. (Can you imagine that? children blind, simply because they can’t afford eyewear.)

Will you donate your glasses?

I just mailed my old (but in excellent condition) glasses off today.

Need More Sleep? Yoga Could Be the Answer to Dreams

August 21, 2020 2
 

Millions, yes millions, of Americans are sleep deprived. Surprised? Not really. At least you are not alone. Did you know that Yoga can help you sleep? It’s true. Clinical studies have shown that bedtime Yoga can help insomniacs significantly reduce their sleepless hours. Yoga reduces cortisol levels, this is why you feel so calm after practicing it. Insomniacs have a higher level of cortisol, so it only makes sense to give yoga a try. Most types of yoga, practiced on a regular basis at bedtime should bring on the sleep.

Don’t Flush Your Prescriptions

August 3, 2020 4

The U.S. Geological Survey and Environmental Protection Agency found 80% of all streams are contaminated with pharmaceuticals.  They have also found both male and female sex organs in fish, frogs, and other aquatic animals. This is due to a large amount of pharmaceuticals in the water supply. These pharmaceuticals include narcotics, birth control drugs, and anti-depressants. This is exactly why you should never flush or wash your prescriptions down the drain. Read on for other options:

  1. Add water to the medication bottle with the unused medication in it, shake until dissolved, and then tape closed and throw away in the garbage. (Remember to remove your personal information for the medication bottle).
  2. Contact Earth Keepers for more information @ 906.228.6095, they are a grassroots company that helps keep pharmaceuticals out of our water supply.
