If I must say so myself, I have some pretty great hair but it hasn't always been this way. I've been rocking my curly hair for about 6 Years now and one of the big secrets for my popping curls is hair masks. Over the years I've tried all kinds of masks. Homemade masks, protein masks, and storebought masks that claim to be able to revitalize your curls like nothing you've ever seen. Needless to say, I was less than impressed with many of them and decided to create my own.

Crafting natural skin-care products made out of REAL FOOD might be one of my favorite past times. It's no surprise that when creating my latest all natural face wash I chose to use ingredients like rose water, Matcha, and honey! Why do I love smearing food on my face? Because your face absorbs around 100% of what you apply to it! I can think of nothing better than applying ingredients that are healthy for you internally externally.

Six years ago I stopped chemically relaxing my hair and decided to embrace my natural curls. Unknowingly, my curly hair would be the catalyst for my holistic lifestyle and since then there's nothing that I love more than a brand that understands my values as a consumer. When I discovered Innersense Beauty, an organic hair care line, I had no idea how deeply I would love it! Yes- it was organic which is my #1 priority when purchasing products and I was extremely excited but I was also afraid to get my hopes up because I wasn't sure it would work. I decided to give it a chance and I couldn't be happier with the quality and effectiveness of Innersense.

My transition to natural beauty products all started with my mane! In February 2011, I relaxed my hair for the very last time. I didn't know it would be the last time but living in Costa Rica for 6 months pushed me to truly embrace my natural hair because Costa Ricans didn't relax theirs. While researching natural hair products, I inevitably discovered that not only did chemical relaxers contain hundreds of harmful toxins, but that most conventionally sold beauty products also contained extremely harmful ingredients. I knew it was time to find a healthier way to nourish my skin and hair.

We all want that youthful glow, and owning a natural eye cream will truly nourish and rejuvenate your entire face! The most important factor to consider when choosing an eye cream is the ingredients used in the eye cream. Store-bought eye creams contain unnecessary ingredients like fragrances and phthalates, just to name a few, and can cost upwards of $50 or more for a measly 1 OZ jar.

Believe it or not you, too, can craft a whipped body butter in five simple steps. Once you have, you'll never go back to store-bought lotion or cream! Why? Because your skin will absorb the whipped body butter like water leaving behind smooth, supple skin. Store-bought lotion is laced with tons of unnecessary and harmful chemicals. Don't believe me? Just look at the label and google the ingredients. Many are linked to cancer, skin diseases and instead of moisturizing your skin it leaves it dry, flaky and parched. Do yourself a solid, and give this D.I.Y. a chance. Your skin will thank you!
