It’s almost summer and here I am finishing my Spring Cleaning post.
After going through my hair and skin products I came across a lot of things I bought specifically for my wedding aka conventional products. I am not perfect and if there is a day to use these products that was the day I was willing to “relapse”. These were things I used to use on a daily basis like Bumble and Bumble’s Prep Spray…
Clutter stresses me out and so I’ve really been trying to pare down all material things in my life. The one area that is just bursting with stuff is my beauty products arsenal. I have too much and continue to buy more even when I’m satisfied with what I’m using because what if there is something better? When I first discovered green beauty I had finally found the perfect foundation, concealer,…
This is such a luxe conditioner and kept my hair in good shape throughout the winter. It also doubles as a great hair mask. It’s too moisturizing for me for the warmer months but as soon as fall hits I’ll be repurchasing this. And the fiancee approved of this too which is huge. We are currently using Dr Hauschka’s conditioner which he says is too thin and…
This shampoo is a great alternative and much cheaper option to Yarok’s Feed Your Volume. This has no essential oils which can be irritating. In fact because Yarok FYV is too cleansing for everyday I was using this in between. Yarok definitely gives more oomph but this is a cheaper and gentler option. This was my second bottle and…

Last week I attended the Indie Beauty Expo in New York and I must say, it was a breathtaking experience! From the outstanding speech Kimberly Elise gave us about her journey as a natural haired woman in hollywood to the wide selection of Indie brands, I was truly impressed. As you may know, I am passionate about DIY’s and green beauty. I try to avoid commercial beauty products that are swamped with ingredients I cant pronounce. That’s simply why I attended this event. For once, I was surrounded by brands that wanted to protect my skin and the environment with clean & green ingredients.
The expo had never ending tables of brands with wonderful ingredients and outstanding entrepreneurs. I will be doing a haul and review on some of the products I collected from the expo. So stay tuned :)
