Hawaiian Body

                          A beautiful Pearl of the day ~

                              Hawaiian Body Products


  Packed with fruit extracts and some of the most wonderful, tropical scents, Hawaiian Body Products has some excellent products.

This is a photo of some of the Hawaiian Body products, I will be posting a review for the rest soon so keep an eye out!
  Over the last couple of days, I've been so eager to try the entire contents of my sample kit from Hawaiian Body Products. So far I've gotten to several, but not all. The first Hawaiian Body product that won my heart is the Coconut Lemongrass Cane Sugar Scrub.

  I'm a fan of sugar scrubs, if the product is very well made. I have to admit, in my searching, I've only found 3 sugar scrubs that met my over the top standards. If I'm going to scrub myself with it, it might as well be the best, right?

  Now that the Coconut Lemongrass Cane Sugar Scrub is my #1 top favorite, there will be room for no other. This one totally blew the rest out of the water by a long shot!

  With it's tropical, clean scent, the scrub made me feel just like I was on the beach! It has the most beautiful scent and feels oh so good on my skin.

  This body scrub contains tropical butters, coconut milk, organic local honey, hawaiian cane sugar. It all smells so beautiful!

  It's the perfect texture, rough enough, but not so rough that it irritates or makes your skin raw. I have a slight redness, bumpy texture on my upper arms after going so long with no sun and it's nearly impossible to clear that up without tanning, but with a gentle rubbing of the Coconut Lemongrass Cane Sugar Scrub, it was completely gone! It has stayed gone too, which does matter.

  Unlike most scrubs, I didn't have to apply a whole lot of pressure just to get scrubbed and exfoliated. I really love this scrub! It's so nice.

  Like the Coconut Lemongrass bath soak, it leaves your skin so smooth. The lemograss and coconut scent really complimented each other well. With the coconut giving the tropical feel and lemongrass giving an energetic feel.

  I felt so soft after using the Scrub and Bath Soak.

PROS:
1. Smells so amazing. Really made such a wonderful bath!
2. Ingredients are vegan.
3. Not tested on animals.
4. Contains natural ingredients such as fruit extracts, etc.
5. Doesn't dry out skin.
6. Hydrating.
7. Leaves a slight glow to skin.
8. Isn't greasy/won't clog razor.
9. It doesn't irritate or scratch skin.
10. Soothed and took away redness.
11. Rejuvenates skin (awesomely!)
12. Exfoliates very well!


No CONS! When, I can't find any CONS, then it must be a pretty goood one!

Dani Bath: Review with photos, perfect valentine's gift ideas, my favorite bath products!

PeArL of the day…


My new favorite bath, scented products are Dani’s all natural fragrance & skin care products from http://www. danibath.com Here is a complete review of several Dani products. *Hint* Best Valentine ’s Day gift for any woman!



All natural Pear Sugar Scrub with organic cane sugar and soy

Quick Overview:

I absolutely love this sugar scrub! I’ve only used one other sugar scrub that did not clog my pores and my razor besides this one. My favorite sugar scrub scent was the Lemongrass Lavender. It’s so calming. It makes a huge difference in how I fall asleep. I use it in the bath right before bed. Talk about relieving stress! One of the worst things is trying to sleep while your head’s consumed with stress. The lavender sugar scrub seemed to put me straight to sleep! (I even skipped the anxiety medication before bed both times I used it!) I could actually throw out my entire skincare regime that I have to apply so heavily just for this sugar scrub! I’ve never used a sugar scrub that polishes your skin and leaves it clean like this. All sugar scrubs I’ve used have left behind a thick oily residue. This pear scrub did not leave film, only my skin’s natural oils. It exfoliates polishes, moisturizes, and scrubs away dead and dull skin leaving the most beautiful, all natural glow. The exact glow that I’ve spent tons of money & time trying to accomplish.

The pear sugar scrub contains shea butter and glycerin to nourish and it will keep your skin glowing and healthy. I know I’m not the only person who’s used a product & had great results only to find they are temporary, such as only lasting for a couple of hours and somehow it seems no matter how much of the same product you use, it never delivers those results you first saw and loved. That’s so disappointing. I caught myself taking peeks at my legs every so often to see if the dry, scaly skin was back & thank God I’ve not seen a single dry patch!

You gotta check them out at: http://www.danibath.com


Pros


- The best exfoliant I’ve yet to use.


- Calming. Seems to lighten my stress & anxiety load & helps me sleep. Truly aromatic!


- All natural ingredients


- I can use it on shaved, irritated skin like after my tanning visits and have relief. It won’t irritate skin.


- Does not clog pores or razor! That’s a major plus for me. I will never waste money on scrubs that clog my skin and my razors.


- Takes away the terribly dry, scaly-ness of my dry skin and actually keeps it away, leaves a glow.


- Very long lasting results, another major plus!






 Natural Grapefruit Ginger Hand Lotion


Quick overview:


For the first time, I am able to say I’ve used a lotion that left completely silky skin with absolutely no greasy, slimy or sticky residue. The search for the perfect lotions has been long and exhausting. I couldn’t begin to say what a relief it was to use the Grapefruit Ginger lotion. The first time I rubbed it over my hands I started feeling the dread of having to go & rinse it right off due to sticky residue (I hate that feeling in between my fingers!) I waited and waited and… NONE! It was perfect. When I looked at my hands and saw how silky they looked and felt, I decided to try it on my feet. We all know how tough it is to find a good lotion for feet, but it worked great! I will continue to use it all over. It’s only a hand lotion, but I smeared it all over my body & was more than happy with the silky results! I’ve only used two lotions that have ever worked on my feet and this one beats them both! One left greasy residue and the other didn’t have long lasting results. This one so far, hasn’t failed me!

Pros


- Silky. My skin felt just like silk. Non greasy, sticky.


- Smells wonderful! I never thought natural products could smell so great.


- Long lasting results.


- Really brings out the youth in my hands as well as my mother’s.


- Gets rid of dry cracks that often show up in hands during cold weather, similar to foot cracks.


- Worked perfect on my entire body, even feet. When a lotion can do that much, you better believe I’ll be in love!


- Truly aromatic (all of the products are!)





Natural Lotions; Grapefruit Ginger, Passion Fruit, Plum Flower, Pear and Lemongrass Lavender.


Quick Overview:


BEFORE USING THE LOTION
    
After using the lotion!
I use the mini bottles of the different lotions. They too are all natural. Super great scents! My favorite is Passion fruit and of course I love the Lavender and Lemongrass because of the calming and relaxation properties.

These little guys were very powerful! They look cute and innocent, but don’t be fooled they’re pretty intense! By intense, I mean they really deliver the results! I only apply a small amount & my skin stays silky all day.

Check them out at: http://www.danibath.com


Pros


- No sticky, greasy, slimy residue.


- Very rich, powerfully moisturizing.


- Small amount takes away dry skin all day.


- Aromatic and scents that keep me sniffing my body!





Plum Flower Shower Gel


Quick Overview:

I love this botanically based shower gel more than any other! My favorite thing about the shower gel is that I feel so unbelievably clean after showering with it. I also love how it’s thick, rich and makes the perfect bubble bath too. It smells great and it doesn’t leave behind that thick residue that most soaps, even shower gels do. It’s really refreshing. Of course the shower gel also leaves my skin smooth. It’s my favorite thing to use after cleaning & sweating all day because it’s the only soap I’ve used that actually lets you know you’re clean. I hate sweating & nothing feels better than washing it away with a soap that actually washes it away!

I love that I can trust these products to deliver the results they claim & I can say that these are some of the ONLY products I’ve ever used that truly does that. It promotes moisture, restores the natural oils in the skin, contains only coconut derived cleansers. By the way, I love coconut, everything about it. This is also the only product I’ve ever used that contained coconut as a cleanser, which must be why I’m so crazed by how clean it makes me.

Check them out at: http://www.danibath.com


Pros


- This gel truly get cleanses and refreshes.


- It’s all natural.


- Once again, doesn’t leave sticky, slimy, greasy residue behind.


- Thick and rich.


- Works perfect for shower or a thick, lovely bubble bath.


- Contains only coconut derived cleansers.


- PH balanced, and much more!




100% Soy Wax Candle (Linen scented.)

Quick Overview:

I suffer from sinus problems and allergies when it comes to certain things like perfumes and not-so-high-quality home fragrances. I have pets, pollen, grass, and I live on a Mountain that goes by the name of Sand Mountain, yet I only have these allergies with certain fragrances while my migraines are triggered by just about anything especially perfumes. Can you imagine what a linen scented candle would do to a sufferer?

Nothing. That is correct! I usually am not very fond of most linen scented products because they tend to be over powering. The Linen Soy Wax Candle was absolutely the best scented candle I have ever set my nose on! I took one short whiff and was instantly hooked. The scary part was whether or not it triggered a migraine.

Nope! I actually light the candle every day and have yet to have a tickle in my nose. No scratchy in my eyes or throat. I was so relieved that it didn’t bother me because I love the scent so much. It’s actually burning on my dresser at the very moment.

It’s not strong and overpowering like most. It doesn’t collide with other household odors such as garbage, foods, and such. It seems to be keeping odors away. I vacuumed the area rugs and normally when the vacuum is full it puts off an unpleasant smell, kind of like the smell of a wet dog in the rain. Not pretty. I had the candle lit while vacuuming and I never smelled that wet dog. It usually lingers around for a while too, but the candle seems to be killing off those nasty smells. I’m not fond of air fresheners as I think they all collide with odor and make my home smell worse than before. There’s nothing worse than the smell of summer breeze and dirty diapers! I love so much that my linen candle has been the only scent in the house.

It’s a subtle, aromatic, relaxing scent, absolutely beautiful. I used to burn candles from the dollar store and they never really put off a nice scent. I’m blown away with how great the soy candle smells! It also kind of lingers through the house too which I love! I just can’t get enough of the soy wax candle. I’ve never had one before. To me, Valentine’s day couldn’t be any better than having these products, and out to eat of course!

Check them out at: http://www.danibath.com






Pros

- I can honestly say this is the best scented candle I’ve ever came across!

- Aromatic and relaxing.

- It seems to be killing off other household odors instead of colliding with them and making for an even more unpleasant smell.

- Subtle, not over powering, but just the right amount of scent that lingers throughout the house.

- Gives the room a warm touch.

- All natural

- Has not triggered any migraines, sinus problems or allergies which many scents do for me.



Bamboo and Birch Fragrance Diffuser

I never had a fragrance diffuser until the new one I got from http://www.danibath.com I had checked them out at places like Wal Mart in the past and thought about purchasing one until I had the chance to smell the scents they offered. I immediately got a migraine and knew better than to bring one into my home. I was a little afraid this one would bother me, but after using the other products from http://www.danibath.com I wasn’t too worried about it. So I went ahead and sat it up in my bedroom.

Like the Soy Wax Candle, it seemed to completely kill off other household odors without being too strong. I noticed a huge difference in my clothing smelling like smoke, it seemed to take care of the cigarette smoke that takes over your clothing, furniture and home. When I walk in my front door, it doesn’t have a stale, cigarette scent to it. It has a subtle, floral sweet scent. I love it so much I couldn’t make up my mind as to which room I wanted it to be in so every couple of days I change it up and move it to the bedroom, powder room, and living room. It’s so perfect for a powder room, especially since I just finished remodeling mine last week. My house smells like a flower garden in the spring time.

The Bamboo and Birch fragrance diffuser gave my powder room even more of a relaxing feel. It’s aromatic & that makes bath time beyond enjoyable.

It is a bit stronger than the Linen Soy Wax candle, but still not too strong. I couldn’t be more excited about having these products. I can honestly say these are my absolute favorite fragrance, candle, scrub products because of the relaxing, calming, aromatic and unique qualities. They’re going to make an organic user out of me after all!

They’re clearly high quality products and they will remain in my home for as long as I’m able to get my hands on them.

I can’t wait to try more of their products and I will definitely let you all know how they go. I’m working up a creative way to squeeze them into our Valentine ’s Day plans. They certainly make the perfect gift!

Pros

- Aromatic, relaxing sweet scent.

- I think it has a tiny hint of gardenia smell to it.

- All natural

- Makes the entire house feel like a totally new atmosphere. It’s calm now.

- They last for months

- Perfect level of scent. Not too strong, not too subtle.

- Seems to take away household odors like the “stale” scent.

- Lessens the cigarette smell from my clothing, furniture, and home.

- Looks so beautiful sitting on my powder room vanity, dresser in the bedroom, entertainment center in my living room, coffee table. I love how it just looks perfect anywhere it sits. It really adds a little pretty to the room.

I could go on and on about every one of these!

Don’t forget to check out their products for yourself, or for a special woman… I’m trying to help you ladies out! 

Valentine's PeArLs - Tom's of Maine (Ladies and men)

  Hello my sparkly little rock-stars! That one really works for me.

I've got one of my best PeArL's of the day all for you.  


  I have the natural soap bar and just by looking at it, I had no idea what a great product it was until I stepped into my shower.

 "Our Stewardship Model Standards for Natural, Sustainable, and Responsible guide our ingredient selection and formulation development." Stated on Tom's of Maine's online store.
 
  I have to say, the above quote from their site, is true. One use of their product and you can literally feel how much effort & care was put into their products. And that's far more than I can say about most. Yes, I am picky about what products I use on my body and face.

   A lot of people see "all natural products" and think nothing about it. I used to until recently when I tried Tom's of maine's soap and the last review I stated I had used another all natural product and these two products are what made me a real believer in the importance and quality of natural products.

 If you're picky like me about the products you use on your face and body and the quality, then I hope more than anything that you'll check out these. Take a closer peek here: http://www.tomsofmaine.com/products

  Now for the Pro's and Con's list:

PRO'S

1. It's all natural ingredients.

2. Cruelty free. I don't know about you, but that is a make or break for me. I respect any company who chooses not to be cruel to animals.

3. Contains Vitamin E which contains Antioxidants which I love becuase of their wonderful powers like anti-aging. Contains jojoba, olive, palm and coconut oils! I love coconut more than anything. I love the taste, the smell, the look and all. All of these ingredients have some of the best skin healing and protecting properties.

4. It smells oh so alive! It smells fresh, you know? Not like most soaps Tom's Of Maine's has a very fresh and beautiful scent.

5. One of my favorite things about the bar of soap I used was that it didn't leave a weird residue like every single bar soap I've ever touched in my life! I don't know if you've ever noticed the film-y residue it leaves behind. You can actually feel it. And I hate the smell of most bar soaps. This one does NOT leave a pasty, nasty residue. You actually ARE clean when you wash with it. It doesn't just give you a nice cooling sensation that says I may have done my job and got you clean, but you'll never know. It cleans ya.

6. Moisturizing! Yall know the trouble I've had with dry skin and products that claim to moisturize until lately.

7. It is milled four times for premium quality. See, I told yall I bring you nothing but the best!

8.  You know what you get. Tom's of Maine provides you with a  full list of every ingredient in the product.

I could go on & on about this one.

CON'S

There are no con's on Tom's of Maine's soap bar. The only thing it didn't do was grow a set of arms and scrub me itsself!  As pleasant as that sounds, I can not complan! lol

  Another thing that I love about Tom's of Maine is that it isn't just soap, you can find just about all of your basic need products, all natural! They have everything from toothpast to deodorant! I should also mention that you can choose from frangrance or frangrance free. I like a little scent so I'll always choose frangrance.

  I hope you decide to check these out too! I truly believe Tom's of Maine's products are worth your while. They were worth mine. I don't think I'll ever be able to care for regular old drugstore brands! I can't get over how wonderful the quality of a bar of soap can be.

  Men, just because it's bath products does not mean it's ladies only! You can also get the "Relaxing bath Bar" as well which will be the next sparkle in my shower. Sounds like a great valentine's gift doesn't it?
