My Pearl Of The Day is the lovely Better Botanicals products.
BETTER BOTANICALS APRICOT EYE THERAPY
I’ll start off by saying this: BETTER BOTANICALS IS JUST SUPER! I’ve been “experimenting” with many of their different body and face products and I’ve been happy with every one of them.
First, there’s the Apricot Eye Therapy which is a rich cream that you gently pat under/around eyes for an uplifting, eye popping look. It brightened my entire eye area. I love this stuff. It has a light fragrance to it, but it’s really not noticeable. It smooths out the fine lines and wrinkles. I’m telling you, this is perfect for any eyes. It kind of lifts and firms slightly too. It doesn’t leave the skin looking or feeling greasy or sticky and most eye creams do. I can’t stand that. The Apricot Eye Therapy is PH balanced.
ROSE TULSI MIST
Then there’s the Rose Tulsi Hydrating Mist to soothe and replenish your skin. Also, you can dab a little on mid-day and give your skin a brighter, more alive look. The Rose Tulsi Mist also detoxifies your skin. It is highly hydrating and leaves your skin smooth with no left behind greasy-ness.
One thing I really love about Better Botanicals Is that none of their products EVER leave your skin looking or feeling greasy and leaves no residue. I am so grateful for that! It does give your face a nice fresh glow.
AYURVEDIC HYDRATING BODY OIL
The Ayurvedic Hydrating oil smells and feels so nice! The pack says to massage the oil on your body using upward stroking motions and circular motions around your joints. I’m not too sure why, but it works well! It has a really pretty scent. It smells a bit on the exotic side. Coconut tanning oil is what it reminds me of. It sounds like it would feel like sun tan oil on your skin too, but surprisingly it doesn’t. It leaves a shiny look to your skin, but is not greasy in any way. Most oils cause lint and hair to stick to your body because it’s oil. The Ayurvedic Oil really rubs in well and doesn’t cause yucky residue. It is very hydrating and leaves your skin silky. I thought it worked well after shaving. It smooths your skin and it kind of seemed to enhance the look of my tan and much better than a lotion does!
It contains carrot, sesame, sunflower and sweet almond. I like the unique ingredients in Better Botanicals products. They seem to all be highly effective.
CHAMOMILE HYDRATING CLEANSER
The Chamomile Hydrating Cleanser is a thick, rich and creamy cleasner with a light scent of lemon. It very refreshing and feels wonderful after massaging all over then rinsing with warm water. My face looked so clean and soft. I had peeling all over from tanning & the Chamomile Hydrating Cleanser worked wonders for that. It takes off even the thickest make-up.
When I first used the cleanser I wondered how well it would do with my crazy purple glitter all over my eye lids. I could not believe that it wiped every last speck of glitter and mascara right away. I lightly used a wash cloth and the cleanser to get the make-up and glitter off and it only took one swipe across the eyes (a little extra on the thick mascara) and a quick rinse. Thank God for this cleanser! I have the hardest time getting my glitter to come off at the end of the day. Usually, I end up scrubbing my face & still have flecks of glitter all over my cheeks 3 days later. I then end up sticking tape to my face over and over to try and remove the glitter. I didn't have any problems like that after using the cleanser! Now that my lovies, is a good cleanser! If you can take all of my glitter, powder and mascara off then you'll be a long term friend of mine.
Well done Better Botanicals! I would definitely rate this a 10. It deserves it!
JOJOBA CLARIFYING SCRUB
Now, this one is pretty much my #1 fav! The Jojoba Clarifying Scrub
This Jojoba Clarifying Scrub is a never-fail. It's so super! I love that even when my skin looks it's absolute worst (and believe me, IT DOES!) I can slap some of this scrub on, massage or even just let it sit while I wash my hair and rinse it with warm water and have a clean, flawless face. This has to be my new favorite facial scrub.
It even looks neat. It's a dark green like color with all kinds of good botanical-y chunks to pamper your face. Although you may look monster-ish while it's on your face, you can be sure you'll look your best when it's rinsed!
It clears al make-up and yucky clogged pores. No face scrub has ever gotten so deep down and dirty like this one when it comes to cleaning out the pores. They looked so small and my face was soft and even immediately after the first use.
This is one heck of a scrub and you can be sure I'll be raving about it for the rest of my life. I have to admit, it's the only effective scrub I've used that didn't leave my face terribly dry and tight. I hate when products leave my skin tight and dry. The main reason I use scrubs is to help the dryness & all from tanning and just normally dry skin and nothing is worse than trying to fix it only to have it turn out worse.
You can also use the Jojoba Clarifying Scrub on your body & I'm sure it'd make a nice foot scrub too. My face was so plump and scrubbed clean from make-up and clogged pores, and sweat. It just looked great for days.
Incase you are wondering about the good chunky stuff in the scrub, it contains papaya, fenugreek, Jojoba beads, and hawthorn berry. This too is Ph balanced. I think the scrub deserves a 10. A real pearl and a must-have for every skin type! I will most definitely recommend it to anyone.
Get your regular dose of Health, Happiness, and Well-being

Better Botanicals Botanical Hair care line - review-
Better Botanicals Botanical Hair Oil
When I first got the sample products from Better Botanicals, I was so excited I couldn't pick which one I wanted to use first, but I did and it was the Botanical Hair Oil.
I've used hot oil treatments and all the other hair treatments that claim to help damaged hair. It's never worked. That is why my thanks are to the Better Botanicals Hair oil which smells beautiful and makes my hair beautiful too! If a product can do even the least bit of help to my hair, then I will always be grateful! I have horribly damaged hair from straightening it every single day since high school. I seriously have not skipped a single day of flat ironing my hair in the past 4 years!
I also bleach my hair regularly so you can imagine the damage I put my poor strands through. My hair stylist Stephanie is going to be SO proud of me!
WHAT IT DOES
The Botanical Hair Oil "optimizes shine and restores moisture balance." It also made my hair extremely soft and silky with no static! You can use it warm by placing it in a cup of warm water for a minute or you can just use it as is. I heated it in front of the heater for a minute then smoothed it from the scalp to the ends. I also massaged into my head a little for added shine and hydration.
In the past, I've used hot oil treatments that have left my hair greasy no matter how many times I shampooed. That's so frustrating. The Botanical Oil didn't leave any yucky oil or greasyness. I usually can't use hair treatments or conditioner to help my hair's damage because it ends up making it so static-y that it's impossible to style or iron it. I was shocked that my hair slipped right through my iron with no static at all and it was extremely silky. It made my hair so healthy and pretty. It didn't take me but 20 minutes to completely iron it and it normally takes an hour!
I love the Botanical Hair Oil. I used it 2 days ago and even after washing it, my hair is still perfectly shiny, silky, and healthy looking. It took away the fried areas and I haven't had any breakage. Woo Hoo to that!
WHAT IT CONTAINS
The Botanical Hair Oil contains Vitamin E, antioxidants and essential fatty acids. The oil is perfect for any hair type.
Just leave it in for as long as you like. I only left it in my hair for 10-15 minutes and my hair was severely damaged. You can choose to leave it in longer or even over night with your hair wrapped in a scarf.
Rinse well when you're ready to wash it out. I used the Amla Shine Daily Shampoo (another Better Botanicals wonder) to wash. I also used the Amla shampoo and conditioner daily. It seems the Botanical Hair Oil will work it's magic for weeks and then I will use it again when I bleach it this month.
AMLA SHINE DAILY SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER
The Amla Shine Daily Shampoo and Conditioner is wonderful! The conditioner has a subtle scent that reminds me of maple syrup. It's a pleasure to smell. The shampoo has a nice botanical scent.
WHAT IT DOES
Use the Amla Shine Daily Shampoo and Conditioner to give hair a slight volume boost and added shine and silkyness. I was so happy that the conditioner didn't cause my hair to be flat or static-y. As I mentioned previously, I don't use conditioner for those reasons. I'm glad that I can use this stuff because I really love what it does for my hair.
After using the Amla Daily Shampoo and Conditioner my hair feels so silky and was much easier to iron and style. It looks so much healthier and has so far prevented the usual breakage from my damaged hair.
I noticed that the blonde in my hair seemed to stand out more. It looks brighter to me after using the shampoo and conditioner.
The shampoo is a rich brown color and the conditioner is a thick, creamy brownish white. From what I've read about the Better Botanicals company, they don't add artificial scents and colors.
The conditioner prevents breakage and damage while strengthening hair. I noticed that my hair wasn't "weighed down" like it tends to get after using other shampoos and conditioners. They are both Phthalate, SLS, and Paraben free!
The Amla Shampoo is infused with plant and flower essences. The shampoo added shine to my hair. It contains Vitamin C and B. They are safe on color treated hair.
You can also condition your hair with the Kokum Care Conditioner after using the Amla Shine Shampoo. The Kokum Care Conditioner works just as beautifully on my hair as the Amla Shine Conditioner . The Kokum Conditioner provides extra help for extra damaged hair. It helps breakage also.
The Kokum Care Conditioner is one of my favorites because it's good for your scalp and helps with dandruff. I think Rosemary is an ingredient in the conditioner that helps with the dry scalp. It contains plant oils and herbs.
All of the hair care samples I used from Better Botanicals have all gave my cleaner, healthier, and beautiful hair. It felt like the shampoos were cleaning the hair products out better than most shampoos. It seems to cut the hair sprays, etc. loose from hair better than regular shampoos.
NEEM CARE SHAMPOO
The Neem Care Shampoo is also a wonderful shampoo. It contains Neem which is a natural anti bacterial. And who doesn't love natural? Natural is always better! The Neem Shampoo contains rosemary like the Kokum Conditioner. On the back of the sample package, it also says that the Neem Shampoo contains Fenugreek and it states that it neutralizes toxins. That's a plus! This one is also safe to use on colored hair. It also says that it protects your hair from sun damage which is something that I find very important.
The Neem shampoo is SLS free.
My overall opinion of the Better Botanicals Hair care line is wonderful. I think very highly of the products. They contain natural & very effective ingredients that actually provide hair with the healthy nutrients it needs and is often deprived of. I will continue using the hair care products and am actually considering swapping all of my shampoos for the Better Botanicals Kokum, Amla, and definitely the Hair Oil. The Botanical Hair Oil is a MUST HAVE.
