The Organic Skin Co| First Impressions

It has been a hot second since I've uploaded a YouTube video, but I figured what better way to show you new products then to demo them and show you exactly how they apply.

I had a lot of fun filming and editing this video, so I hope you enjoy it too! The makeup I did in this video is very similar to my everyday makeup but I subbed in some lovely products from The Organic Skin Co. Previously I had tried their lipsticks, but I really enjoyed sampling a wider range of products today.

Post Commute Self Care| CBD Living Brand Focus

Pour yourself a glass of wine and start a bath, the weekend is finally here!

It's only been about two weeks since my last post but I feel as if I've been away from the blog for months. Please excuse my absence I've been working on a blog schedule now that I've started my new job. The past two weeks have been amazing, and honestly I'm the happiest I have been in a long time. I feel as if this new role is a great start to my dream career. I'm on cloud 9, since this is a role I've been hoping for.

With a new role comes a new schedule, hence my absence from my blog, and instagram. I'm also adjusting to a new commute. Which actually gave me the perfect test environment for today's brand feature.

My first week of work I opted to walk more often than I took the shuttle and it definitely had an effect on my legs (re: sore af). Thankfully CBD Living sent me a few of their pain reliving skincare products, so I put them to the test.

Cruelty Free Brand Focus: Ellovi

Over the past few weeks I've been putting Ellovi's range of body butters and lip balms to the test. Ellovi (pronounced like 'love' is spelled), began their brand with their six ingredient body butter. Their body butter is handmade in Berkley, California and features good-for-you superfood ingredients, and no fillers or harmful chemicals. I've mentioned in past posts that I've been seeking out more natural products lately and Ellovi definitely fits the bill.

Loving this vanilla scent!

Ellovi's body butter comes in 5 scents; original, vanilla, mint, tangerine, and lavender. I tried both the vanilla and mint varieties. The vanilla is my current favorite, it's smells indulgent and also a bit like vanilla cake batter. (Yum!) The butter is thick, rich, and makes my skin feel super soft and nourished.

Christmas Pajamas 💕

One of my favorite things about winter is sinking into freshly washed flannel sheets after a hot shower, and using a nice rich lotion or body butter. Ellovi has snuck it's way into this ritual and I think it's here to stay!
