Stretch Mark and Scar Cream Review


I received Stretch Mark & Scar Cream to review from InstaNatural. This product contains ingredients such as Grape Seed Oil, Vitamin C, and Cocoa Butter. It is designed to deeply moisturize and thus fade old stretch marks and scars, as well as prevent new ones from forming.

My first impression of this product was that it smells heavenly! Sort of a light sweet scent - a little fruity, a little floral. A little bit goes a long way! This product isn't super thick - but it isn't runny either. It is the perfect consistency, in my opinion. The fact that it is nice and smooth and not too thick makes it easy to spread. This cream absorbs quickly. I actually started using it all over my body - not just on scars and stretch marks. That's because it works! This is an amazing moisturizer. I give it two thumbs up!

Cellulite Defense Gel-Cream & Age Defense Eye Cream by Body Merry Review

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experiences may differ.


I received Body Merry's Cellulite Defense Gel-Cream and Age Defense Eye Cream to review. The products are natural and organic. They contain no harsh chemicals, are made in the USA, and they are cruelty free! I am always willing to try out any organic and cruelty free product, as those are qualities I value.


I enjoyed the Cellulite Defense Gel-Cream because a little goes a long way, and it absorbs quickly. I wasn't a fan of the scent - kind of reminded me of a cough drop. I suppose that is because this product contains menthol. BUT this product also contains ingredients like organic coconut oil and organic aloe - products I love to use. Even though I am not a fan of the scent, I like this product because it actually works! Within a few uses I could see a difference in my cellulite. I give this product 4/5 stars.


I loved the Age Defense Eye Cream because it goes on nice and smooth. Some eye products are too thick and leave me rubbing in the product for what seems like forever. Again with this product, a little truly does go a long way! This eye cream smells absolutely heavenly - kind of fruity, in my opinion. Almost instantly I noticed a difference in the appearance of my dark circles - this product rocks! I give it 5/5 stars.

Adovia Sulfur Soap Review

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experiences may differ


I received a bar of Natural Sulfur Soap from Adovia. This soap is enriched with minerals and sulfur from the Dead Sea. Also - not tested on animals! 


I have been spoiled with homemade soap, my mom makes it. So I wasn't sure if I would like this soap. But there are two big differences between this soap and typical store bought soap - it doesn't leave your skin dry and it doesn't leave an icky soap scum layer on your skin. I also love that it has an awesome lather! It has a very natural scent, not sweet or perfumey at all. It smells clean. Adovia's Natural Sulfur Soap leaves my skin squeaky clean - I give it two thumbs up!

Colors of Nature Review

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experiences may differ



Colors of Nature was kind enough to send me a sample of their paints to review on my page. I was delighted when it arrived - I know many of my followers are creative like me, so you can understand my excitement about new craft supplies! Colors of Nature makes professional quality, earth-friendly artists' paint. Their paint is certified vegan, petroleum free, cruelty free, AND made only from natural ingredients, like plants and minerals.




I love to paint! I may not be the best painter, but that does not hold me back! Due to the fact that their paints are only made from plants and minerals, the result is a more natural painting - one that reflects the true colors of nature. I thought this was great! There are several different browns - which are perfect for what I enjoy painting best - pet portraits. From the first brush stroke, I could tell that these are high quality paints! I found that these paints blend well and easily produce a beautiful image. They are also long lasting - a little truly does go a long way!

Overall, I give these cruelty free, earth friendly paints two thumbs up! A perfect score!!

De La Terre Skincare Review


Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experiences may differ


De La Terre Skincare was kind enough to send me some samples of their products to review on my page. Their products are 100% synthetic free, gluten free, vegan, eco-friendly, AND cruelty free! I received Herb Rich Clay, Herb Rich Serum, and Herb Rich Balm.

When I opened the Herb Rich clay, I must say that I certainly was not a fan of the scent it gave off. But that is just me - the scent is very natural and herbal, which may appeal to some people. I used it twice a week, as per the directions. The second time I used it, I mixed it with my cleanser (which was stated as an option in the directions) - I thought this made the product easier to keep moist (as you must leave it on for 5 minutes and prevent it from drying). Though I had my doubts, this product greatly surpassed my expectations! My skin felt smoother and healthier! This product is very nourishing.

I was also a little skeptical about the Herb Rich Serum - it is oil based, so I was afraid it would make me break out. I have used this product daily for almost a week now, and have not noticed any extra acne developing as a result. My skin feels much more hydrated.

I was super excited when I saw they included herb rich balm - I LOVE lip glosses! My lips like to peel, so this product was amazing! My lips are much smoother - this product has a great moisturizing effect. It is even great for cuts! The balm soothed my cut, and in the product description I see that it can even help quicken the healing process.

Wellinhand Action Remedies Review

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experiences may differ

Wellinhand is Leaping Bunny Certified!! If you are interested in cruelty free products, be sure to look for this logo.
Wellinhand Action Remedies creates certified vegan and cruelty free products. They were kind enough to send me some samples of their products to review. Wellinhand was a dream to work with! They have awesome customer service and their products really do work!

The therapy oil contains olive oil (just one of several great ingredients, including calendula). Olive oil is amazing and using it promotes good health! You can use this product on sensitive skin, newborns, and even on your pets! There are an endless amount of uses for this product - on burns, for inflammation, on bug bites, for arthritis pains, for stress, and even for diabetics' fingers (just to name a few!). I have personally used this product as a shaving oil, for insomnia/stress, to help with my tendinitis, and on bug bites. I must say this is a great product - it has worked nearly perfect each time I used it. I cannot decide which purpose I like it best for - it is a tie between the aromatherapy helping with my stress and using it for my tendinitis (this product is non-greasy, unlike some other tendinitis remedies I have used). Luckily, I can use Wellinhand's Therapy Oil to serve both purposes at one time! This product has an herbal scent - but not at all offensive or overpowering. This therapy oil is even gluten-free. I give this product a 5/5!

Buy the Therapy Oil HERE
Buy the Bug-a-Boo HERE
Now on to Bug-a-Boo - this bug spray scares those pesky insects away naturally!! Among the ingredients are apple cider vinegar, lavender, and witch hazel. This bug spray contains ABSOLUTELY NO CHEMICALS. How awesome is that??? This product is safe for use on children, adults, pets, and plants! A product like this (that actually works) is hard to find - and this product WORKS. I have used this while gardening, on nature walks, and even to spray in my windows during the evening to keep the bugs out of my home! My cats sleep in windows, so I can spray this bug spray in them without having to worry. When I have used this product I have received very few new bites. I chose the vanilla rosemary scented one - in my opinion it smells like a cinnamon roll! I recommend Wellinhand's Bug-a-Boo 100%! So of course, 5/5 on this one too!

Lotus Brands Product Reviews - CRUELTY FREE


Lotus Brands sent me several awesome products to review!! Being an animal lover and someone who cares about the environment, I really appreciate the fact that their products are Certified Leaping Bunny! This means absolutely NO ANIMAL TESTING.

They sent me Original Mint Toothpowder from their Eco-Dent Line. I was a little unsure about using this product, as I have never used toothpowder before, but the results pleasantly surprised me. This toothpowder leaves my teeth and gums feeling clean and healthy! It easily gets rid of plaque buildup and I feel like I even prefer the powder to the paste now! The flavor is not my favorite, but then again I cannot remember liking the taste of any toothpaste before - so that is average for me. I am at least thankful that the mint flavor is not overpowering and offensive! I give this product a 4/5 - losing 1 point for flavor.

Find the conditioner HERE
Find the lotion HERE

I was also sent Rosemary Mint Tea Tree shampoo and conditioner, along with Sweet Lavender Lotion. These products were my favorite! All three smell heavenly. 

I was so excited to try the hair products with tea tree oil in them - tea tree oil is amazing! For example, it moisturizes both your hair and scalp, removes dead skin, and helps control excess oil. The scent is pretty strong for both the shampoo and conditioner - but I don't mind because I absolutely love the smell of mint and tea tree oil! These products left my hair smooth and shiny and smelling wonderful! I would definitely use this product again - especially because it is cruelty free! It seems to be a difficult task, finding cruelty free hair products.

The sweet lavender lotion is now my favorite lotion! It smells absolutely amazing! I think it smells most like a chai tea latte (my favorite beverage!) but my boyfriend insists that it smells like Froot Loops (that is great too - I mean, who doesn't love Froot Loops??). So this definitely has a sweet scent. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and moisturized. I cannot tell you how many times I have purchased a lotion that smelled amazing, but didn't actually do its job AKA moisturize!!

All three of these products receive 5/5 from me!

Here is another great smelling product - from Lotus Brand's Ancient Secrets Line. When I opened my package, the scent of patchouli filled the air! I instantly fell in love. These bath salts are 100% natural. AND they won't wreck your whirpool, hot tub etc. Which is great if you own one of those!! I just have a normal old tub - but I must say, this was the most relaxing bath I have ever taken. I give this product 5/5!
