Natures Paradise Organic Facial Products Review and Giveaway

I recently was running low on my facial product and decided to look around for something new to try. I have never been very committed to a particular brand because I haven't really just loved anything I have tried. I googled organic facial care products and ran across a brand called Natures Paradise and I am so glad I did!

Natures Paradise provides the safest products ensuring that their green laboratories are 100% chemical free and pursuing sustainable methods of production. They are a family owned company that develops personal care products without using chemicals that many other brands do use which are linked to cancer and other harmful side effects.


Natures Paradise carries all sorts of goodies including organic gifts, Baby Organic Products, Organic Shampoo, Organic Body Wash, Organic Body Lotion, Organic Hand Wash, Organic Body Mist, Organic Hand Sanitizer, and of course organic facial care.

I tried Natures Paradise Gi'ovane Italy Organic Anti Aging Set and I really loved it! I have to tell you I am surprised at how much I love it. Like I said, I have never had any particular attachment to any product line and I have always used my facial products inconsistently, especially since I became a mom! I like using this line so much that I am actually using the whole kit every night and the cleanser and serum again in the morning. This is big for me.

How did Natures Paradise Gi'ovane products make me feel like using them everyday? I think it is three fold. First of all I love knowing that is organic and good for my skin but I have tried other organic products so there is more to the Gi'ovane products than that. Second, I love the smell of all of the products. I can't say they are subtle which I usually prefer but they smell so naturally good that I enjoy putting them on and then I feel pretty afterward! Third, it feels good on my skin. I have pretty easy skin to care for but it is always dry. This line has a foaming cleanser but it is almost creamy in texture because it bubbles up so nicely. Then I used the toner and I can feel it working. Most other toners just feel like water to me. Next I use the serum and it is really great. At first, I thought it was going to be a bit heavy but it sinks in pretty quickly and leaves my skin feeling so smooth and soft. The serum is enriched with Argan Oil which has been tested and proven to help in repairing the skin and maintaining collagen. Last, I rub on a tiny bit of moisturizer and it feels a little heavy at first too but then it sinks in pretty quickly too. I love the end feeling- smooth and radiant.

I knew I liked the Natures Paradise Gi'ovane Facial Kit and after using it for just 4 days, I felt like my fine lines on my forehead were lessened. It is always hard to be sure if it really is making a difference but when I saw my mom she noticed it too! She told me my skin was looking healthier and smoother and she wanted to know what I was using! I can full heartedly recommend Natures Paradise Gi'ovane Italy Organic Anti Aging Set. I really love using it and am so glad I tried it.

Beckons Organic Clothing and Your Reader Discount!

I recently discovered Beckons Organic while I was looking for organic cotton clothing. Beckons has beautiful, eco-conscious yoga-inspired clothing for women and men. It is all made for comfort with a great fit but also with attention to styling and details. Beckons uses vivid colors and the finest organic cotton to create comfy yoga pants, yoga tops, camis, dresses, and yoga skorts. They also have eco-friendly men's pants and shorts!




At Beckons Organic, they maintain that,"Our clothes are an expression of our beliefs and an extension of our practice into our everyday lives. We maintain a strong commitment to the triple bottom line, where profit is equally as important as our impact on the planet and it's people." Beckons proudly uses only organic cotton and sustainable fibers in their clothes. They are, "equally proud to partner with a domestic manufacturer in San Diego to create its clothing... sewers are paid fairly, receive vacation pay and work in a clean and safe environment."

In case you are wondering what is so great about organic cotton, let me tell you a few reasons why it lessens the impact on the environment and is better:
* Because they have not been tainted by chemicals, the fibers of organic cotton are longer, softer and less brittle, making them more comfortable to wear.
* Organic cotton requires less water to grow than conventional cotton.
* The elimination of polluting chemicals and nitrogen leaching protects water supplies.
* The primary focus of organic farming is to use practices that build healthy soils.
* Organic production reduces health risks. The EPA considers seven of the top 15 pesticides used on cotton as “possible,” “likely,” “probable,” or “known” human carcinogens. Organic agriculture helps prevent any more of these chemicals from getting into our air, earth and water.

I tried the "Strength Organic Cotton T Shirt" in "grape" from Beckons Organic. It came minimally packaged in a recyclable envelope with recycled tissue paper but well protected and nice touches like the cute stamp! The t shirt is really nice. It has a flattering scoop neckline without being too low and nice detailed double stitching around the neckline. It is fitted and has small cap sleeves. It is a lightweight organic cotton and this gives an almost stretchy feel. In fact, I had to check the tag to make sure it was 100% cotton- and of course it was! It also has a cute little flower (the Beckons symbol) sewed onto the sleeve. Another little detail they do on all their peices is a little tag at the bottom side of the tee that says "Wisdom" and "Strength" on it. They call this an "intention tag" and print words such as wisdom, courage, love, grace, integrity, and strength on them. I really love the t shirt and I would recommend it on the basis of both comfort and cuteness! One word of caution- they are fitted so keep this in mind when selecting your size.


Beckons Organic has generously agreed to give my readers a 20% discount! Just use discount code "MOMTS".

Beckons did provide the strength organic cotton t shirt in exchange for my honest opinions. The opinions I expressed are my own and no monetary compensations was provided.
