Schmidt's Deodorant
My new favorite deodorant! Its amazing! As a nursing student I wrote all my college papers on our skin and the dangers of the pollution that our nation allows big companies to put in make-up and cosmetic products. If a man has to wear a hazardous waste suit in order to handle the chemicals going into baby products, beauty products and more....... that should be a clear sign that even in small amounts long term that can not be safe! (That's a later topic) Any ways, the point is if you were to take any advice from me with reading this its to change your families deodorant and do it ASAP! The pores in your armpits are the largest on your entire body! Their are lymph nodes (what keep you healthy and fight decease and cancer) in your armpits and tons of arteries and veins anything you put on your armpits go straight to your blood stream and that goes everywhere else in your body! So
Pros of this product: It stays fresh all day, no chemicals of any kind, only 6 ingredients, you still sweat (its a natural thing and is important to) but it definitely reduces sweat!
Cons of this product: It isn't on a stick. You have to rub on like a thick lotion. This isn't a big deal for my family but some people may have an issue. Other then that for a natural product this is it!

Bamboo Volume Uplifting Root Blast
I'm not a big hairspray fan and never have been. My biggest use for hairspray has always been volume. I was always doing the flip upside down and shake your head and spray the hit spray then pray your hair kept its volume all day! But the sticky ness and hold just left my hair crusty! YUCK! So again I wanted something natural and made for lifting and that's when i found this! Contains eco-certified ingredients grown and ethically traded. Its also free of sulfates, sodium chloride, paragons, gluten, TEA and phthalates. If your new to the natural world those are all big no no's! I'm a total brand junkie to this company "bamboo" they make incredible hair care products that bring the luxury of high end brands without the chemicals! but What I love about this is it lifts and for so long! This is not a hair spray, but what I love is its crusty hair free! If you have ever tried a dry shampoo its like a dry shampoo meets hair spray it offers a light and fluffy spray that allows your hair to not be held down by heavy residue later, just fluffy full hair all event long!
Pros of this product: Light weight, free of the big major chemicals and delivers the lift and volume for long periods.
Cons of this product: Only con is hair must be dry to apply for good results. I'm more of a wash and run girl so it is crummy to skip this or take it with till my hair dries. The good thing is they have a travel size one so if that's a big deal for on the go girls like myself the travel size is perfect to stash in the glove box!
You can find it at Sephora, Ulta or online here!

My favorite Moisturizer! Its light, it helps with current issues for my young age (dryness, un even skin tone) While preventing aging issues my skin will soon face (wrinkles, sun damage) I love it because its quick to apply and dries fast it has zero oily residue! Its also a prefect moisturizer for foundation or to mix with your face powders. do 2-3 skirts in your palm and add foundation or powder to it and mix with your finger then rub in your face and neck! Its perfect to do this! Also great if you want a more sun kissed look add bronzer and your foundation rub on any area you want and you get a temporary tan! this moisturizer also locks in the foundation when you do this so no rubbing on your clothes! So Its my go to moisturizer! especially in these winter months you just can not go with out a moisturizer!
Pros of this product: light weight, versatile, very little ingredients, perfect everyday use
Cons of this product: None so far although I think It works! needs to update the look of the bottle which they are and this will soon no longer be a con

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner
Let me just tell you that eye liner for me does not stay on for me! I'm not talking about just the bottom eyelid I'm talking the top even. I can't go very long before even my top eyeliner is on my bottom eyelid and smeared all over. Its a horrible issue and I have been on a quest for more! I was an avid user of liquid Eyeliner, but it was so messy, and not an easy application (I'm a on the go kinda girl i need quick) When i saw this I was excited since it was summer and it says "water proof" so would be perfect those days you are doing water activities! Well I'm now hooked! This is a pricey eyeliner at a whopping $20 but you have to remember it is liquid and will last a while. I've had mine going on 6 months! I use daily! The tip is like a sponge shaped into a paintbrush tip and so say application! If you are like me and get fake eyelashes or have fake eyelashes this is the eyeliner to use! You can get right in between each little eyelash and above without the eyeliner ripping every lash out.
Pros of this product: Easy to apply, is water proof but still easily washes off, great for use with false eye lashes and smear proof!
Cons for this product: pricey then other eyeliners, isn't great for bottom eyelid only stays on for a little bit.
