5 Natural Products I Am Using Right Now
1. Grapeseed & Castor Oil Face Cleanser
I learned about oil cleansing last year sometime and was super hesitant. Having grown up with horrible acne and really oily skin, the thought of adding oils blew my mind. BUT after years and years of trying every cleanser and prescription under the sun, I was fed up. I even went to the dermatologist early last year and got a few different prescriptions but soon found out, NONE of them could be used while pregnant or nursing. If it’s not safe for baby, then how in the world is it safe for me?
After that, I did lots of research and found oil cleansing to not only be totally affordable, but it actually works! I am not an expert at all so I won’t go into many more details but I use a blend of grapeseed oil and castor oil day and night and my skin is the best it’s been! I ordered NOW Grapeseed Oil and NOW Castor Oil along with some amber glass bottles off Amazon!
2. LUSH Cosmetics Products
I had a friend recommend LUSH to me years ago and there are a few products of theirs that I absolutely love! As I mentioned above, I have always suffered from acne and the Mask of Magnaminty is amazing! It has a minty scent and it leaves my skin SO clean. It’s the only face mask I’ve used and I love it!
Other products of theirs I love are the Tea Tree Water toner-a seriously fresh face toner that doesn’t overdry, Grease Lightning Tea Tree & Aloe Gel-amazing for spot treatments, and the Helping Hands hand cream-perfect for applying before bed.
The people at LUSH.com take so much care and thought into all of their products, the packaging and more. Earth friendly and natural…a win-win! Shop all of LUSH.com amazing products here: www.lushusa.com. (Not affiliated, I just love their products!)
3. Bend Soap Co. Goatsmilk Soap
This product isn’t so much for me as it is for my toddler. Kip has such sensitive skin and suffers from eczema. Even gentle, baby soaps would cause him to break out. When I started researching good soaps for him, goats milk soap kept coming up! I found Bend Soap Co. online and fell in love with their story (hello fellow big family!), their processes and their products! I quick ordered their Best for Eczema Bundle and when it arrived we were hooked. It has such a gentle touch and gentle smell! I wish I had known about them when Milo was a toddler, he suffered the same issues! Shop all of their natural soap products here: www.bendsoap.com
4. Organic Coconut Oil
Using coconut oil is no secret. It has millions of benefits and can be used a million different ways! But this is a staple in my bathroom and I use it even more now being pregnant! I love to use Garden of Life Organic Coconut Oil as a moisturizer for my growing belly. Before bed, I slather it on and let it work it’s magic! I also use it in my hair as an oil treatment. Even our pup gets to take advantage of its awesome properties…I put a teaspoon in her dog food each morning to keep her sensitive skin from itching so much!
5. Earth Mama® Products
Even though I am on my sixth pregnancy, I am still finding new products I love! Being more mindful with which products I use, finding Earth Mama® products was a godsend this time around! I started using their Calming Lavender Deoderant two months ago and will never go back to normal antiperspirant again! We have so many glands and nodes in and around our armpits and by applying an antiperspirant each day clogs those pores and leaves lots of chemicals on our skin. Earth Mama® Calming Lavender Deodorant contains organic lavender, calendula and coconut oil and the best part is it’s formulated especially for sensitive skin, pregnancy and breastfeeding!
When I was shopping their website I also added their Belly Oil and couldn’t be happier. Oh, and it smells AMAZING! I like to add this on in the mornings or along with my coconut oil at night! Shop Earth Mama®

A Small Step to a More Natural Life
I feel like everyone is intrigued at the holistic life and I am included! However, it’s just not budget-friendly to throw out everything and start from scratch. I love approaching things like this one step (or in this case, one product) at a time! Every little thing can make a difference so don’t be discouraged! I am far from an expert but I feel like these products I’ve listed are tried and true for our lifestyle and our budget!
If you have any tips or products that you love right now that are organic and/or natural, please share!
