This weeks tested product is ‘Ultimate Shine Solid Shampoo‘ by Lush.

This product is vegan, biodegradable, not tested on animals, no sodium lauryl sulphate.  The lather is fantastic and I did notice extra shiny hair (not greasy, just shiny) the very first time I used this solid shampoo.

The only caution I would give, is that you have a place where this solid shampoo can dry out while not being used.  Just like you wouldn’t leave a bar of soap in a puddle of water, you should place this solid shampoo in an area where it will not stay soaking all day long.

Lush’s Ultimate Shine Solid Shampoo is definalty another staple for the bath.

You can find Lush online here.  Lush is also a fanastic shop to visit as the staff are usually overly helpful and are happy to provide you with samples of products to try before you buy.

This weeks tested product is So Refined – Jojoba & Mint Facial Scrub (81% Certified Organic) by Kiss My Face.

This exfoliating scrub gets the job done, is largely comprised of organic ingredients and leaves a lovely tingly feeling (thanks to the mint).

A staple for any bathtub caddy.  Find So Refined here.

This is the first 100% biodegradable product for Kiehl’s and the first body care product to receive Cradle to Cradle Certification.

If you needed any more incentive to give this mindful product a try, here is what Brad Pitt had to say “Kiehl’s formulated this product to minimize the impact we have on our environment. All proceeds will go to benefit green initiatives around the globe.”

Yay for Cake Beauty and us.If you have never sampled Cake Beauty…go now, because there truly is not another beauty product out there that tantalizes your nostrils and vitalizes you skins so fantastically (yup, that’s how much we love Cake Beauty).

Some of our favorites:

(This was the very first Cake Beauty product that I used and have since fallen deeply in love with. I have to say that this has got to be one of the BEST gifts ever for a gal pal.)

(Yup, it’s true what they say on their site, a great product for on the go. Great for both body and hair.)

It is August and the end of summer is nearing (sorry, we had to point it out). Well, cheer up because fall shouldn’t signal colder temps and drying leaves, it should signal cozy nits and less frizzy hair!


A must for fall would be a piece from Beaumont Organic. This British company, headed by Hannah Nichols, produces items made from 100% organic cotton.


By now, we all know why organic fibres are better for our bodies, the cotton growers and the environment in general. In addition, Beaumont Organic donates 1% of it annual profits to Niusawa School, in Fiji. Nicole’s was touched by her experience as a teacher in Fiji and found a way for her business to continually give back.


To see more from the collection, visit Beaumont Organic here.
