KORA Organics is a line of certified organic skincare products most known for their famous supermodel founder Miranda Kerr. KORA is also widely available at Sephora. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to try KORA – I guess because it’s celebrity founded and Miranda Kerr is one of the richest supermodels ever notorious for having billionaires gift her multi-million dollar price tag items (sis knows her worth).…
I’ve found the best natural and organic body lotions for dry skin that provide long-lasting moisture using clean ingredients. From affordable natural body lotions to luxury ones, there’s an option for everyone. If it’s something we’re slathering over our entire bodies on the daily, we want to make sure that our body moisturizers are as natural as possible. Most body lotions on the market are a synthetic cocktail made with…
Most eye creams are useless unless they have a real purpose. I’ve rounded up my favorite natural and organic eye creams, serums and oils that are made with clean ingredients that help with wrinkles, crows feet, dark circles, and more. The skin around the eyes is the first to give away our age as it’s so much thinner than the rest of our faces — plus it loses moisture 50% faster…
I’ve rounded up the best non toxic toothpastes made of clean and natural ingredients safe for both kids and adults. There are plenty of fluoride free toothpastes to choose from (or even natural toothpastes with fluoride) – the options are endless. Clean and non toxic toothpastes should be free of artificial sweeteners, coloring, sodium lauryl sulfate (associated with canker sores) triclosan (a pesticide used to fight plaque and gingivitis), and Fluoride,…
I’m sure you’ve seen it by now on social media – people are applying castor oil in their belly button. You may already be familiar with castor oil for hair and castor oil for skin, plus all the benefits it can bring for beauty. So why is belly button oiling, also known as navel oiling, the latest health craze? First, if you’re going to use castor oil, make sure you’re…
I’ve rounded up the top organic Vitamin C serums for face made with natural ingredients and stabilized Vitamin C. Vitamin C is one of the best antioxidants to protect skin cells from free radical damage. Besides acting as a protective shield, Vitamin C also helps fight hyperpigmentation and sun damage, brighten skin tone, increases collagen production and reduces wrinkles. Simply put, it’s an anti-aging powerhouse. For sensitive skin types, Vitamin…
As someone with barely there lashes, clean mascaras that don’t perform with excellence simply don’t work at all for me. I’ve tried dozens and dozens of natural mascaras over the years, and the very best mascaras have always remained unbeat with the exception of just one newcomer mascara earning a spot at the top. While this post shares all the mascaras from worst to ok to very good, there are…
Ziip Beauty is a device I like to view as NuFace’s more sophisticated sister. She’s elegant, highly accomplished and adored by all. This is one of my more expensive devices at $495 and considerably pricier than the NuFace. And while they have some similarities, the Ziip and Nuface are different in many ways. The technology inside Ziip includes both Microcurrent and nanocurrent, so various waveforms to help give you a…

If you’re a matcha addict like me, not a day goes by without drinking a matcha latte. Today I’m sharing my favorite matcha green tea powders I drink regularly. Often touted as the secret to why Japanese women never age, matcha tea offers numerous health and skin benefits that will have you wanting to drink it daily. Low in caffeine and high in antioxidants, Matcha contains up to 137 times…
In this Dyson hair dryer review, I’m sharing my in-depth opinion on the $400 tool. When I was trying to decide between the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer versus the Dyson Airwrap versus other more affordable hair dryer brands, I ultimately went with the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer. There’s so much hype around Dyson for hair, and I wondered what makes Dyson so special besides the technology, futuristic design and being…
I’m sharing the best natural face moisturizers made with clean and organic ingredients. These clean face creams hydrate skin,  and protect and strengthen your skin barrier. There’s no shortage of seriously amazing organic moisturizers on the luxury side of clean beauty, which can easily cost $100-$400. But if a $50 organic face cream is out of your budget, you’re in luck, because I’ve rounded up the best budget natural face…
I’m sharing the best natural concealers that are made with clean ingredients AND can cover dark circles. These non toxic concealers not only work to improve your skin but also cover blemishes, acne, dark circles and discoloration. Concealers, on a fundamental level, are supposed to perform, so the stakes are even higher with clean concealers. They may not perform identically to their conventional counterparts, but the natural makeup industry has…
Today, I’m sharing whether the Jones Road Foundation is any good and the line’s best and worst makeup products. For instance, I personally found the Miracle Balm to be a bit waxy with a slightly off-putting herbal scent. Famously founded by iconic makeup mogul Bobbi Brown, Jones Road Beauty is a clean makeup line most known for their Miracle Balm and What The Foundation. I purchased the Jones Road What…
I’ve rounded up the best 100% natural makeup brands that are truly non toxic and clean. Most lists on the web include clean makeup brands like ILIA that do use synthetics aka lab-made ingredients. This bothers me to no end, so I wanted to create a trustworthy list of clean makeup brands that are truly natural. Here you’ll find the safest and healthiest natural makeup brands only. From affordable non…
Clean makeup brand Saie Beauty has taken over Gen Z by storm. You might have heard of Saie Beauty Slip Skin Tint or seen the brand at Sephora or raved about on social media.

I love the certified organic freeze-dried smoothies made by Kencko because they come in convenient little packets, a variety of fruit & veggie blends that taste great and ship from Portugal. As someone who’s enjoyed Daily Harvest smoothies in the past, I was curious to try the powdered version made by Kencko. Instead of these huge boxes filled with whole fruit and veggie smoothie containers, you get a small and…
Clean skincare carries a stigma of being ineffective because people imagine ingredients like aloe vera and jojoba oil without understanding how much green science has advanced. You can have the best of every world, both natural and lab-made with today’s clean beauty brands. Â These brands are also stringent about excluding harmful or questionable ingredients to varying degrees. Most clean beauty brands launching these days are focused on targeting Gen Z…

The question I always get: Does the NuFace really work? I started using NuFace in my mid 20s way before Hailey Bieber started using it, because I’m a big proponent of preventative skin care. During the many years I’ve had my NuFace microcurrent device, I’d often get asked if NuFace was worth buying and if I saw any changes in my skin from using it. These kinds of questions are…
UPDATE: Black Friday sale is happening now (25% off with code BCFM2023) Leefy Organics was founded by a holistic nutritionist during his journey of restoring his mother’s health. She suffered day and night for eight months from severe nasal and mucus congestion and over-the-counter medications nor medical specialists were of no help. Juicing fresh turmeric roots and making tea with sliced ginger roots were the only things providing her some relief.…
Nutrafol does NOT work for everyone – I just want to set your expectations straight right away. Nutrafol is perhaps the top natural hair growth supplement available today and a brand I got to discover at Indie Beauty Expo 2020. But for $88 does Nutrafol actually work to regrow hair? In the last few years, Nutrafol has gone from launching one supplement product to an entire line of hair growth…

Mara Beauty is an algae-infused clean skincare line that’s all natural, non-toxic and inspired by the sea. Mara doesn’t just use any algae – they use a clinically-tested proprietary algae sourced via wild collecting in France and Ireland. They then combine this with actives, superfoods, adaptogens and hydrators to create luxurious products that are effective enough for mature skin. I tried the Mara Algae Enzyme Cleansing Oil, Sea Vitamin C Serum and…
Antipodean Home is the newest organic bedding brand on the scene, and I got to try their Regenerative Wool Duvet and Regenerative Cotton Sheets. What piqued my interest about the duvet insert was that it claimed to improve deep sleep by 25%. This new brand sources regenerative New Zealand merino wool from farmers that use low-impact, regenerative methods to enhance the land’s natural functions, which in turn, restores the soil’s…

If you’re looking for a natural sleep system, keep on reading for my Soaring Heart Organic Latex Mattress review to see if it’s the right fit for you.…
Today I’m sharing my OSEA review. While OSEA makes some fantastic spa-quality skincare and body care products, there is some controversy around the brand losing their original quality as they now mass manufacture their products to meet increasing demand. The best OSEA products are OSEA’s body care products (you can’t go wrong with any IMO), Atmosphere Protection Cream, Blemish Balm and Hyaluronic Sea Serum. Here’s a little backstory on OSEA:…
Over the last few years, we’ve been testing as many organic and non-toxic pillows as we can. Avocado Organic Pillow and Soaring Hearts Latex & Wool Pillow are the absolute best for side sleepers, while Naturepedic Organic Cotton Pillow is best for back sleepers. For memory foam fans, the Saatva pillow is the ideal non-toxic alternative. So why is it important to switch over your bedding and pillows to non-toxic…
Moroccan-inspired beauty brand WHIND recently came out with their line of clean fragrances and I simply had to try their Rose Saffron fragrance. These vegan perfumes are made using fragrance oils and are fine fragrance-esque while being cleaner. Rose Saffron is a smoky-sweet Moroccan rose perfume that’s anything but a boring rose. It’s spiked with hot, honeyed Kashmiri Saffron and freshly-milled coffee, then illuminated with spiritual incense-like Agarwood. This warm,…
Hexclad Cookware combines cast iron, stainless steel AND non-stick in their pans that perform to Michelin chef standards. These are definitely not the pans you find at your supermarket and the price reflects the quality and technology that goes into making these. The Hexclad pans are invincible – they can be used with metal utensils, in the oven and dishwasher. I tried the Hexclad Pan Set for 2 months and am…
I came across Sea Witch Botanicals on my hunt for all natural solid perfumes and I actually fell in love with their incense sticks. This brand is so different in many ways from the brands I usually use and talk about, but the values are so similar. Sea Witch Botanicals is B Corp Certified which means they place people and planet over profits and they are against the use of…
