A Few Favorite Products....

So, Friday was a self indulged "me" day. DJ went to a friend's bachelor party for the weekend, and the girls were in school. There were no plans for the weekend and our house was fairly clean, so I decided that I would just indulge myself in whatever I wanted to do. Friends, it's not often that us moms get these days all alone and to ourselves, but self-care is SO important and does not make us selfish at all! 

Anyway, I thought I'd hop on today and share a few products I used during my "self-care" time.... I mean, I use them randomly throughout the week, but to be able to use each of them uninterrupted was heavenly. 

First up, this softening foot scrub from Young Living. It's has lavender and peppermint essential oils and this wonderful little exfoilating black volcanic sand from Iceland, volcanic rock pumice from Italy, diatomaceous earth from the seas of Denmark, and coconut shell powder from France. I mean, doesn't that sound heavenly. 

So, I use this on my feet, but ssshh! I also use this all over my body. 

I recently started using this toothpaste from Schmidt's. I honestly feel like I'm cheating big time on my Thieves toothpaste from Young Living that I've used for years. But, we ran out and I quickly grabbed this from Target, and honestly I'm kind of loving it. Plus, it's super affordable.

I'm ordering my Thieves toothpaste this month, but in the mean time, I'll keep using the Schmidt's until it arrives.  

Alright friends, I am ALL about the natural products, but sometimes, momma needs a little color on her skin. So, I use this every once in a while. I like that it goes on evenly and smooth and doesn't have an overpowering smell to it. When we go on a trip, I'll use this for the days leading up to it, but when I'm just at home week to week, then I'll use it maybe once a week. You'll get better results, if you use it daily, but, let's be honest, this is not a crunchy product that I want all over me all the time. 

If you're looking for a toner, then grab yourself some Thayer's! I love their Rose Petal infused toner. Both Gretchen and I use it, and it's just super affordable. 

Every night, I put a drop of Frankincense and Patchouli essential oil on my skin. Then, I follow it up with my jade roller. The most well-known benefits of using a jade roller include reducing inflammation and puffiness of the skin, reducing the appearance of under eye circles and stimulating blood circulation. I actually love to keep mine in the freezer and use it cold. It feels SO good! 

After I wash my hair, I love adding this leave in conditioner to it. It just makes my hair silky soft. Just finger comb in a few drops before you dry your hair. 

After I dry and straighten my hair, I use a few drops of Mirah Hair oil from Young Living. It makes your hair smell so good and feel so soft! 

So, there ya go... a few favorite products that I've been loving.

What have you been using that you really love?
