Organic Ceremonial Grade Green Tea Matcha Review




I received Organic Matcha Green Tea to review from KissMe Organics. This tea is organic and grown by a family owned farm in Japan. Matcha is rich in antioxidants and is beneficial to skin health. Consuming this tea can even give you a metabolism boost!


I am HUGE tea drinker and was very excited to receive this product. I was very impressed by the packaging this tea came in. To ensure freshness, they seal it in a can (with a pull tab top) and then the tea powder is even in a sealed pouch. I love that this tea is non-GMO and vegan. This was my first time using tea powder - I was surprised that such a small amount goes such a long way! It is such a beautiful mossy green. Most teas I drink without sweetener, but I actually prefer this one with a spoonful of honey - otherwise it tastes too vegetable-y to me. The honey compliments it well.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Kur: The Scandinavian Bite-Size Bar 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

3 flavors: Coconut Cashew, Brownie, and Cacao Mint
Kur originated in Denmark - where organic laws are strict and GMOs are not allowed. They are dedicated to staying true to these high standards.

Kur sent me 3 of their date and nut bars to review. Each of their products contains 100% raw ingredients, have no added sweeteners or syrups, are gluten-free, contain no dairy or soy, no GMOs, no sodium, and no preservatives - the list of their awesomeness goes on and on!! They are even Kosher and USDA & EU Organic Certified. Wow! That is quite impressive.

My personal favorite was the brownie. Their are only 6 ingredients and they are all organic! I especially enjoyed this one because you could really taste the cinnamon in it, and I love that in a brownie.

The cacao mint one tasted yummy as well! This one has 7 ingredients. I liked that this one had a little bit more of a crunch to it than the other two did.

Now we come to the coconut cashew bar - this one only has 4 ingredients! I did not care for this one - it tasted like coconut milk, which is probably why I didn't like it. But if you enjoy coconut milk, then this is the snack for you!

What I loved about these date and nut bars is that even though they have no added sweetener or syrups, they are still sweet like a dessert should be - but these are special because they are a healthy dessert! I also like the fact that they are such a convenient size - you can easily throw a couple in your purse or pocket for later if you are in a hurry.  Also, they don't have a weird grainy texture like some health bars I have come across.

Check out all these awesome certifications listed on them - gluten free, vegan, GMO free etc.

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.

Raw Food Central 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


Raw Food Central sent me some of their snack foods to review - Snack Mix, Onion Rings, Kale Chips, and Flax Crackers. Their snacks are organic, vegan, kosher, gluten free, and GMO free! And believe it or not, healthy snacks CAN taste good! Raw Food Central did not disappoint.

My favorite part about the Snack Mix was the peas - they had great flavor. So did the kale -seasoned to perfection! They are low calorie/low carb AND each serving has 33% of your Vitamin A. Here is one midnight snack you won't have to feel guilty over.

The Onion Rings - "never fried, never baked." Sadly, I was not a fan. Not surprising, as I have never been a fan of onions or onion rings. My brother loved them though! Here is a great treat for anyone who loves the taste of sweet onion - a great alternative to croutons on a healthy salad.

Now the Kale Chips - those were my mom's favorite! She loved how they are low carb AND have a great flavor. Actually, she enjoyed all these snacks - it is hard when you are on a low carb diet to find a variety of tasty low carb treats - so Raw Food Central is great for her. PLUS the Kale Chips are a great source of protein, calcium, and Vitamin A!

I thought that I would like the Flax Crackers the least - but I was so wrong! They are seasoned with Italian Seasonings and Celtic Sea Salt - so they pack a flavorful punch! And boy do I love the taste of garlic...I think I even prefer these to potato chips. They are a great source of protein, Vitamin C, and Iron. Perfect for dipping in guacamole, hummus, salsa, or my favorite - spinach dip! And so crunchy!





Check out their website to see what other products they offer and if they have a store near you. Soon you will be able to purchase these snacks straight from their website - my family is addicted, so we will certainly be purchasing when this feature is available.

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 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!
