There are a number of natural brain protectors out there, but did you know that one herb has shown more promise when it comes to supporting your neurological system than any other medical finding to date? It's a scientific fact that curcumin, an antioxidant compound found in the root of the turmeric plant, is one of the most powerful natural brain protecting substances on the planet! It continues to amaze scientists with its remarkable cognitive health benefits.

Mama Mia, this makes your skin look AND feel amazing. You begin to see results almost immediately with this soothing, smoothing treatment. It's unscented and safe for even the most sensitive skin. It kept me from having a rosacea flare the entire time I used it. It really does tighten up your skin, I found it especially useful around my chin and neck area.
Zents is one of my favorite brands. We are talking HIGH END LUXURY. This is the brand I like to wind up my home spa days with. When I use Zents products, I feel like a pampered millionaire princess. The wash makes your skin feel like velvet and is so moisturizing that you don't even need lotion afterwards.
The perfumes smell like heaven and perfume your skin without being a bang you over head cheap alcohol base. It's subtle, sexy and when layered with the wash and lotion will make you spend the day inhaling yourself deeply. Sigh.......... Siberian fir, bay laurel and sandalwood Zents Eau De Toilette - Sun captures the essence of warm, sunny days with the aroma of sweet orange, grapefruit and vanilla.
Zents Eau De Toilette - Mandarin captures the essence of faraway lands with the aroma of orange flower, citrus zest and ginger.
This is another sun protection powerhouse. Not only does it block pollutants, but it also refreshes your skin during a long day. It brings makeup back to life and can get you through the hottest of days with glowing (and protected!) skin. I kept this in my purse and used it constantly until it was alllllll gone.
Stop environmental pollutants associated with daily life and the sun's harmful rays from aging your skin. This ultra-moisturizing Vitamin Repair Mist with active plant extracts and encapsulated bio-actives repairs and calms skin, helping to prevent damage from UVA and UVB rays.
First of all, let me point out that I have sensitive skin and retinols are notorious for sometimes irritating some people's skin. I did not have this problem at all. After applying I do feel a slight tingling, but it's not painful, it's actually somewhat refreshing! I even put it under and around my eyes with no problem (slightly stingy here, but very slight and it went away quickly ). I saw an immediate superficial difference on my first application; my pores were tightened as was my skin in general. Fine lines were minimized though my deeper crevasses were still visible; from what I understand about retinols, after about a month of use I'll see a big difference there too.
In the morning my skin has a glow after absorbing this overnight. I've been using this over a serum and alternating using this under my eyes with an eye cream. After about 3 weeks use, I'm seeing a vast improvement in my skin's texture and evenness and the fine lines are really lessening across the board. My skin feels soft and plump and looks good even without makeup. The circles under my eyes are diminishing and tightening. To get the best out of this stuff, make sure sure your skin is super clean and exfoliated to really absorb the benefits, though this will help with exfoliating and getting rid of dead cells. You can also use this on areas that you feel need a youth treatment, like gnarly old lady hands! (guilty as charged!) I also recommend applying this to your neck and chest for an even look from your face down. These oft neglected areas are actually the worst for showing our age, so treat them well!
Product Details
#1 DERMATOLOGIST-RECOMMENDED ANTI-AGING INGREDIENT: Retinol is clinically proven to not only work, but continue to work, providing better results the longer you use it. Extensive testing has shown significant improvement in fine lines and wrinkles as well as pigmentation in as little as 12 weeks. Skin continued to improve at the 6, 9, and 12 month marks.
RETINOL = RESULTS: A tried and true age-fighting ingredient that actually works, retinol is by the far the best thing you can do for your skin to combat the signs of aging. Retinol works on a molecular level to repair skin and stimulate collagen, resulting in firmer, smoother, wrinkle-free skin. Speeds up skin cell turnover, fading discoloration and improving texture to give your skin a healthy glow.
ALSO GREAT FOR ACNE & ACNE SCARS: Retinol is an extremely effective acne treatment. It unclogs pores to clear up blemishes, reduce blackheads, and minimize pores. Prevents future breakouts by preventing dead skin cells from clogging pores. Also repairs elastin and stimulates collagen to fade acne scars.
MOST ADVANCED FORMULA AVAILABLE: Our unique blend of 2.5% retinol with moisturizing Hyaluronic Acid, Organic Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter offers superior results with less irritation. Safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and can even be used around the eyes.

I've been taking an insane amount of medication lately, and it has messed UP my stomach health, which has always been pretty shaky to begin with. I've had IBS for years and when probiotics first started being taking seriously (Thanks Jamie Lee Curtis!) I found my holy grail for my stomach. Unfortunately that meant at the time eating yogurt every single day or paying insane amounts of money for them in pill form. Since I've had to start consuming a daily pharmacopoeia, my stomach has been more sensitive than ever. I had slacked on keeping up with my probiotics, but a few months ago I got back into the swing. I had been using another brand and was about to run out when thankfully LES Labs sent me some to review and kept me on the straight and narrow. I had high hopes since I had previously been taking their cortisol.
There's so many benefits to these that my overall health has been persevering despite extenuating circumstances. They're easy to swallow, you only have to take them once a day (unlike some probiotics that need to be consumed multiple times a day to be effective and which I invariably forget to keep up with) and they're immediately effective. Bonus, they're very inexpensive compared to other brands. A months supply for less than one WEEK of brands I've gotten at the drugstore.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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?
I'm pretty sure I must have something wrong with my thyroid but since I lost my insurance, I can't afford any more testing and doctor's trips than are necessary for the stuff I already know about, like the tumors (you might have seen my GoFundMe at the top of my page that my darling wonderful Stacy started for me). So, I thought I'd give these a shot and see if they helped and by gum, they do!
These have worked wonders for me! After a few weeks I noticed a huge difference. I'm more focused, I'm not falling asleep at the drop of a hat, my actual sleep is better. I've lost my sluggishness I feel literally lighter, I was telling my Sasquatch a few nights ago how I felt almost like I'd been weighted down and suddenly the weight was removed. He too has noticed a difference in me. My energy levels are higher and I feel all around more comfortable in my skin. Number One Nutrition Thyroid Support, 60 count
