Raw & Organic

Berry Good Raw Bar mashed with Ripe Banana Slices and Cinnamon on top of Tart Greek Yogurt

Holy yum! A few months ago I contacted Nicole's Nutty Goodness after seeing her drool worthy bar on Kath's blog. Am I glad I did! I first tried the bar on its own for the true flavor test and it reminded me of a really flavorful fruit chew without being gummy. I tore into big shavings of coconut and dehydrated fruit pieces on the second bite. Once I ripped pieces off and into my yogurt I was in pure heaven. It was full of flavor that powered over the tart Greek yogurt that usually only my beloved melted banana trick can do. This is no regular raw bar! With so many healthy ingredients, fruit and flax, I would consider this the best raw bar out there. And I've tasted so many different kinds! Pumpkin spice bar be mine!

Sunday I did a few fun things like, spending too much time in party supply stores, thrifting a painted clock plate, saving myself a big paycheck by combining this and this design to make my own festive ribbon necklace and baking glonuts!

Also over the weekend I finally got to try the well reviewed Juice Beauty products for skin. Talk about being overly excited...I take pride in a few things and one has to be my dewy skin so when Juice Beauty offered to send me some goodies I couldn't wait! Obviously the first thing I tried was the organic facial cleanser which is made of cherry and lemon juice. It went on smooth and as I swirled it in with a bit of warm water it made nice white suds. Only thing I didn't like was the smell..kinda reminded me of my Grandmother's bathroom soap. Once I rinsed it off and patted my face to dry I noticed it made my face feel very refreshed but also a little tight. I knew I needed to moisturize so I turned to the oil-free moisturizer made up of organic white grape and pomegranate juice! I loved the lightweight feel of it and it was differently not greasy like so many kinds out there. Did I mention the smell of this one was divine!

Later on in the day before I went outside I tried the Green Apple SPF 15 Moisturizer which I found very much the opposite of the oil-free kind..very oily and looked horrible under my makeup. I know it has sunscreen in it but the only way I could pass with such a shiny face would be at the beach. Oh well! When bedtime came I tried the whole process again but before putting on my oil-free moisturizer I put on the Green Apple Antioxidant on my eyes and around my mouth. I loved it! Overall everything truly impressed me and showed that a company can make a good product organic and paraban free without compromising on quality, price and smell. :)

What kind of face products do you use? Recommend anything natural?
