Neem Oil is a Jack Of All Trades

I've been using this one from Oleavine, the bottle is huge and it's inexpensive with the bonus of being organic and wildcrafted. 

Tips on how to use and dilute Neem oil 

I've listed some recipes / ways to use Neem oil below - but a rule of thumb to remember is to keep your dilution of of Neem oil to about 2 - 5% of any mixture that you apply directly onto your skin. Some of the recipes below use higher percentages - but keep a lookout for any skin irritation.

• Cuts, wounds, minor skin disorders and mosquito and insect repellant
  • Mix with Vaseline or a carrier oil in a ratio of 1:5 and apply to affected area.
• Athlete’s foot
  • Add 15 ml to warm water and soak the feet in this preparation.
• Head lice
  • Mix 50/50 with a carrier oil and massage into the hair and scalp. Leave on for 1 hour and shampoo. Repeat once weekly for 3 weeks or as long as the problem persists.
• Stop mosquitoes breeding
  • Spray or pour oil on all breeding areas. The oil can be emulsified (to mix with water) by adding normal dish washing liquid to it.
• Plant protection
  • Add 30 ml to 1 liter of water and add 1 ml of dishwashing liquid. Mix well and spray immediately for plant protection. Do not store the mixture; make fresh formulation for each spray. Spray the mixture on top of all the leaves and on the undersides where insects often hide – you can also spray it around the roots.
• Lamp oil to ward off mosquitoes
  • Add 5 – 10% oil to any lamp oil and burn lamp normally.
• Dandruff and itchy scalp
  • Add a few drops to your regular shampoo.
• Ticks and fleas on animals
  • Add a few drops to your normal pet shampoo (ratio should be 30 ml (1 oz.) to 240 ml (8 oz.) shampoo). (Personally we have found that plain baby shampoo works the best.
• Warts
  • Apply 1 drop of undiluted oil directly on warts once per day. Watch carefully for any possible irritation, and should that occur discontinue use. Continue for 2-3 weeks.
• Psoriasis, cold sores, eczema, athletes foot, skin ulcers and other fungal skin conditions
  • Mix 1 tablespoon (15 ml) with 4 ounces (120 ml) carrier oil such as jojoba or grape seed oil and apply twice a day to affected skin. Should skin irritation occur, discontinue use, or make mixture with less Neem oil.
• Pet and livestock spray for ticks, fleas, mange mites and other pests
  • Mix 1 ounce (30 ml) oil with 1 gallon (3.8 liter) water and add a few drops of dishwashing liquid (to emulsify the oil). Place mixture into a spray bottle or other type of sprayer, and spray animals once every two weeks. (This mixture can be used on indoor and outdoor plants as well as flowers and vegetables.)
• Cleaning the house
  • Add to carpet shampoos and spray mattresses to kill dust mites.
• Hand wash
  • Add a couple of drops to liquid hand soap for antibacterial properties.
• FOR ALL THE ABOVE
  • As Neem oil has a rather strong smell you might want to add a few drops of your essential oil to any mixture to mask the smell. Lavender or lemongrass essential oils work well – but you could add your personal favorite.

I'm not pregnant or breastfeeding, but it's a well known fact that prenatal vitamins are the secret to the stars for glowing skin and glossy hair. I have numerous cosmetologist and hair stylist buddies who have been recommending these o their clients for years. Simply take them like any other multivitamin, sit back, and reap the rewards. By the time you finish your first bottle you'll see a difference. Your hair and nails will be stronger and your skin will be bright and clear. I find they also give me more energy than a normal multivitamin. As an anemic, these also give me an added iron boost but don't make me nauseous like my previous iron supplement. Of course they work for pregnant and breastfeeding women too, but why should they get to have all the fun? LOL

Natural And Organic Beauty Always Makes Me Happy! AnneMarie Borlind, Organic Indulgences, Brigit True Organics, Pangea, Journey's Mother and Glam Nation

Sadly, Green Grab Bag isn't around anymore, but Eco Emi is still going strong and is a fantastic way to discover new natural and organic products! If you check them out let 'em know that The Beauty Pirate sent ya! CRAP! WTH? OK, I see Eco Emi (after YEARS of fantabulousness) is shuttering as well! DAMN! So who's going to give us a sampler of natural beauty? Do any of you have suggestions?

Do note that many of these products can be found at Whole Foods! 

Annemarie Borlind Naturesome Nature Effect Fluid

Everything you need in a serum! Vitamin C, ceramides, vitamin E........ Ahhhhhhh. It leaves your skin velvety soft and really boosts the performance of your moisturizer without being heavy or making your skin greasy. This brand is quite the heavy hitter in Germany. 

Organic Indulgences: Lip Butter in Chocolate Mint

Yummy Chocolate mint flavored balm keeps lips lusciously soft and kissably smooth with a blend of all natural ingredients. 

Full Size: 1 lip balm ($2.95)

Size Received: Full-size! 1 lip balm ($2.95)

From past reviews I've noticed a lot of the natural/organic subscription services love giving out lip balm. But I guess I don't mind, I always love trying new lip products. Organic Indulgences is a cruelty-free company that boasts a line of all natural, affordable products. The lip butter is formulated with shea butter, coconut oil, and sunflower oil and organic beeswax. The smell and flavor greatly reminds me of Thin Mints. Which means I really like it. It is buttery and soft on my lips and adds a hint of mint. The chocolate flavor is not intense. If I saw these in the store and ran out of my lip balm I'd rebuy.

Brigit True Organics: Magic Skin Balm

This healing herbal salve combats everything from bites to burns.

Full Size: 0.15 oz ($4.20)

Size Received: Full-size! 0.15 oz ($4.20)

Brigit True Organics is a company based out of Charlottesville, Virginia that uses natural and organic ingredients that have herbal, healing power. This is a salve that is formulated mainly of olive oil and organic beeswax. Salves can be used any wounds or irritant to help moisturize and heal. I've received a lot of salves the past few months. I've been using Smith's Rosebud Salve and Climb On! Repair Bar that I received from Beauty Box 5 and Conscious Box respectively. I love my Rosebud Salve to pieces but I'm open to trying new ones. I especially like that this is a stick so I don't have to get my hands all messy. I've used this on burns, scrapes, cuts, bug bites, ad infinitum. 

Pangea Organics: Facial Scrub

Polish your skin this award-winning scrub that is gentle enough for daily use.

Full Size: 3.8 oz ($32.00)

Size Received: 1.0 oz ($9.14)

A familiar brand. I've gotten to try out a few Pangea products in my Birchboxes over the months. This scrub contains Egyptian Geranium oil to help tone skin, cranberry seed enzymes that dissolve away dead skin cells, and ground adzuki beans to gently exfoliate. It smells like cranberries and blood orange which is quite yummy.  I loved it! It didn't leave my skin tight, but my skin felt clean and fresh! This may be a new contender.Oh, and did I mention the plantable packing? It grows into Italian Sweet Basil! 

Journeys Mother: Lotion Pellet in Rosewood Geranium Shea

The natural alternative to liquid lotion, these little pellets melt with skin's heat for major moisturizing.

Full Size: 1 bag of 43 pellets ($10.00)

Size Received: 1 pellet ($0.23)

These lotion pellets are solid bar style lotion that melt in your hand while you use them. They are meant to take out the mess of liquid lotion and were developed by a mom and daughter duo. I have to say I don't see how liquid lotion is messy? This lotion pellet just needs to be warmed up in your hand for a few seconds and then they are ready to use. It reminds me more of a solid salve than lotion. I couldn't see using this on my legs, but more so on dry feet or cuts. One pellet probably would last a week. I've always liked the concept of solid lotions more than the actual execution. They're fine for small areas but really don't float my boat for allover use. These are basically shea butter which I prefer either whipped or as an ingredient. 

Glam Nation: Natural Perfection Eye and Makeup Remover

This organic cleanser can tackle even the most stubborn mascara.

Full Size: 2.0 oz ($29.99)

Size Received: 0.1 oz?? ($1.50)

An organic eye makeup remover that effectively removes all traces of makeup without harming or roughing up your skin. This revolutionary product is made from emollient herbs, organic oils and other wild-crafted ingredients which have deep cleansing properties while at the same time delivering a soothing effect on the delicate skin around your eyes. In addition to being an efficient makeup remover, this lightly aromatic formula also helps to reduce under dark circles and to soften fine lines, while removing impurities from your skin. How’s that for a wonder product?

Marching In The Beauty Army Products - Fiafini, Control Corrective, Apothoderm, Aquolina, Egyptian Magic, Pssssst!

  is $12 a month with the option to skip any month. What makes them different from most sample subscriptions is that you get to choose which 6 samples you want. There's generally a mix of standard packettes, deluxe sample and travel sizes (my Psssst is the size can sold in stores in the travel section) and often a full sized item. As I state in the video, I picked what I genuinely wanted to try, not necessarily the best DOLLAR value items available to me.







Fiafini Skincare Divine Hydration Marula Oil Moisturizer is fantastic- it moisturizes AND firms skin and calms my redness INSTANTLY! No more looking like W.C. Fields..... Marula oil is sadly overlooked by most companies. This is one of those instances where I was intrigued by a product for my sensitive skin but didn't want to buy something and have it not work. So yes, I got a packette sample- don't care- I wanted to test it before dropping $40 on a product I couldn't use. That's what samples are FOR, not to accumulate a Sephora in my house. (Which I've done anyway......)

Finally, complete complexion perfection with the moisture and anti-aging actives your skin craves. Get the divine skin of your dreams with fiafini. A hydrating and healing moisturizer that firms, minimizes wrinkles and restores elasticity, divine hydration moisturizer is the triple-targeted solution to the most common signs of aging. Formulated to be ultra-hydrating yet never heavy, this moisturizer helps soothe and calm redness with prickly pear, avocado and evening primrose extracts, while also reducing environmental stress on the skin. Powerful antioxidants marula oil and vitamin E fight fine lines and wrinkles, and help visibly firm and lift the skin for complete perfection, and as with all fiafini products, our moisturizer will always be free of fragrance, alcohol, mineral oil, and all parabens. No animal testing and vegan.

Control Corrective Redness Relief Serum
For sensitive, inflamed or Rosacea-prone skin. Botanical extracts plus skin-balancing vitamins reduce trans epidermal water loss, which in turn helps strengthen and balance the skin, reduce redness and inhibit future flare-ups. I'll be honest- can't tell you what I thought because it got eaten by my bathroom before I got to try it..... WHAH!!!!!!


Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream, 5.7 Ounce

• Visible results in as little as 2 weeks
• Evens skin tone and improve skin texture and smoothness
• Protects the skin to help prevent future stretch marks
• Optimally blends natural emollients: shea butter, cocoa butter, olive oil, meadowfoam seed oil
• Effective for old or new stretch marks

 I'm normally not a huge fan of really sweet scents but for some reason I am ADDICTED to Pink Sugar. Maybe it's the addition of the peppery, spicy undernotes that elevate it from little girl to sexy. This is what Bath & Body Works scents strives to achieve- a playful sweet scent for adults.

Aquolina Pink Sugar Eau De Toilette Spray Design House: Aquolina Year Introduced: 2004 Fragrance Notes: Cotton Candy, Caramel, Raspberry, Bergamot, Licorice, Poweder, Fig Leaves, Orange, Strawberry, And Wood. Recommended Use: Daytime

Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream is a cult favorite for a reason- even Madonna is a huge fan! The label is an esoteric version of the Dr. Bronners labels making for some amusing bathroom reading.

Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream The Ancient Kamitians' Secret, Magical Cream Life Takes From The Taker And Gives To The Giver.&Nbsp; Above All Let Your Word Be Your Bond. Peace, Divine Love, Perfect Health, Eternal Wisdom And Infinite Blessings Unto You, Precious One.&Nbsp; Ancient Kamitian (Egyptian) Folklore Recalls A Miraculous Skincream, A Secret Of The Great Sages, Mystics, Magicians And Healers Used To Maintain Radiant, Healthy, Smooth And Glowing Skin. No Synthetic Preservatives Or Synthetic Fragrance Added. Made In Usa

Pssssst! Dry Shampoo  (I found it at Herbs Pro, an online health store at a 21% savings over other places!) This is the original spray dry shampoo and it does an amazing job of soaking up oil and refreshing your hair- even removes the smell of smoke! For blowout gals this is a lifesaver and maybe even more sore for those of us who prefer to hit the snooze button.

Psssssst Instant Spray Shampoo 5.3 oz Pssssst, the original dry shampoo, is an effective solution to transform dull dirty hair without washing. Pssssst contains a perfected amount of powder to absorb excess oil, eliminate odor and product build up while boosting volume. Hair looks, feels, and smells freshly shampooed without the use of water. Just spray, brush and go. Preserves color.

Why take phytoceraminde capsules?

When you apply a cream, it sinks in to the top layer of skin and perhaps the second layer. When we use fillers, they fill the wrinkles in on the top layer but these mask wrinkles rather than treat them at the source. When you take a tablet, they work in the body and cause internal improvements that penetrate outward, so that the root cause of wrinkles and signs of aging are reversed and improved inside-out.

Furthermore, taking a tablet is far less hassle than a daily half-hour routine of expensive skin creams, scrubs, rubs, massages and more! I don’t know about you but my day is already short enough for all the things I have to do, so anything that makes my day easier and gives me the same or better results is definitely worth considering!

I have been taking phytoceramides for years and I love that I can finally get them affordably instead of buying overpriced ones from the dermatologist. There are easy to take, easy to swallow capsules that keep my skin glowing.

Prenatal Vitamins Are For More Than Pregnant Women

I've used Evergreen Nature's vitamins before and was really impressed, so I was eager to try these. Granted, I am not pregnant, however it's a well known beauty hack that prenatals are the secret to amazing hair, skin and nails. In my case, these allow me to skip my separate iron supplements that I take for my anemia since they already include the added iron. These are fantastic for someone like me with an immune issue and the medications I take tend to leach vitamins out of me so I need all the extra help I can get. I WAS going to do a video review, however a friend of mine came over and surprised me with announcing being pregnant, and me being me, I insisted she take these home and start taking them immediately. Even though I'd taken them for almost a month, they come in such a huge bottle that there was still 2 months left for her :-)

They offer an amazing 200% satisfaction guarantee, which I don't see anyone actually needing. You get a huge bottle, you only need to take one a day, the capsules are easy to swallow and there's no nasty fillers or fake crap in them. Even if you aren't preggers, these will boost your health AND your beauty and with their guarantee, what have you got to lose to see glowing skin, stronger nails and thicker hair?
