I have had such an indulgent week and have found some amazing products that I wanted to share with you all. Firstly, in all the moving I managed to forget a lot of my toiletries like; make up, shampoo, conditioner etc - you know just the basic essentials for someone heading back into the workplace after three years off. But this has given me a great opportunity to try some products I have been itching to get my hands on and just haven't taken the plunge.
Make up - I was looking for a natural, mineral based foundation and got lots of wonderful suggestions from friends however I was slightly desperate and needed to pick it up that day so it discounted a lot of the online places which was a shame. I don't wear make-up often and I have been wanting to try some of these chemical free mineral foundations for such a long time. The staff at Pure Indulgence at North Lakes Shopping Centre in Brisbane were very helpful. Honest about which brands and lines were chemical free and which weren't and I walked out with a gorgeous organic moisturiser as well as my mineral foundation. Both of which are unbelievably luscious and my skin has never looked better (both with and without the makeup). It feels so good knowing that the cream I am putting onto my skin is natural and organic and it smells Divine - not with man made perfumes but with natural essential oils. What a great way to start the day.
Shampoo and Conditioner - Although I have been using safer alternatives for about a year now they do cost quite a lot so I thought I would take the opportunity to try the "no poo" hair care routine and it is really growing on me. I am still fine tuning my routine and looking at a way to "pre make" it so that I don't have to be so organised in the shower. You can find lots of great info on the web especially at this site here.
I also stumbled across this site quite a few weeks ago now and have been meaning to check it out more. Pure Earth Noosa sells a range of chemical free and organic products. I recently purchased some BPA free water bottles from them which arrived today. Beautifully packaged with a little sample of organic baby shampoo and conditioner, washing liquid and regular shampoo and conditioner, all of which smell AMAZING! I tried the shampoo and conditioner on Miss A this evening and wow - it is a gorgeous product! No tears from Miss A plus it left her hair smelling beautifully fresh and shiny and it is wonderful to know that all the ingredients are natural and organic. I was also surprised to find a little package of samples and info from a collection of businesses called Connect2mums - all in all a great shopping experience! Highly recommended.
It is great to know that chemical free living is becoming more and more achievable with these businesses supplying products that make life easier and more enjoyable.
