Oh, how I love it when spring arrives. The fresh air, the lovely colorful blossoms, the fact that summer is the next season. But with spring comes more activities. Fewer relaxing nights cuddled under a blanket or early bedtimes. Seems we are always busy and/or worn out. So…this is my first post of the week. And it is a good one.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the poll (right hand column) last week. I have decided to extend it out another week, just for fun, so be sure to cast your votes. So far it looks like the most popular vote is more product reviews. And that is what I have for you today – a review of a fabulous line I have just tried and am currently using.
Product reviews are one of my favorites posts to write because I love trying out great new green beauty products and sharing them with YOU. So many new natural beauty products are popping up constantly right now that it can be super confusing determining which are safe and which contain toxic chemical ingredients, even for me and I do this all the time.

It is nice and rich so you don’t need a facial oil or anything else along with it. I have been using it on my face nightly and my skin is still well hydrated when I wake up. And all you need is about a dime-sized amount so the jar lasts a super long time. This is a new favorite!
Eye Balm is also on the thick and rich side, but I do like to wear this one both night and day. It goes on looking almost greasy, but soaks in so quickly that I can apply eye makeup right away. And my eyes look hydrated and bright.
I must admit that I was surprised by how well these unassuming products behave. They both come with minimalistic labels and a very short ingredients list, which is not a bad thing on either end. I expected the thick Miracle Cream to contain a lot of heavier oils (shea butter or cocoa butter) but was pleased to read Apricot Kernel Oil and Coconut Oil as the first two ingredients. These lighter oils deliver intense moisturizer without being as heavy. The cream also contains Rose Geranium oil, which is soothing, …
