Do I really need to add another product to my already hectic hair routine? The answer is yes! I was psyched to try ArtNaturals Argan Oil hair mask for my bleached mane since my parched strands just drink up argan oil like it’s an open bar. I checked out the ingredient list and noted it was chock full of mega-moisturizing oils like almond, moringa and jojoba. Love it. And I love that it has panthenol and keratin, a killer duo for damaged hair.

So I dutifully added the mask into my lengthy hair routine two times a week for three weeks. I was excited to see if it would repair my hair and re-texturize my tresses.

Did you know that jojoba oil is technically not an oil at all? It’s actually a plant-based liquid. However, in the context of skincare it’s used and treated like an oil, which is why it’s referred to as such.

Plant-based jojoba oil is a popular ingredient in many skincare products, and with good reason. It boasts a variety of benefits for the skin, lips, nails, and hair, many of which are backed by scientific research. In this post, we’ll introduce you to the wonderful world of jojoba oil, including how it’s made, its many benefits, and how to incorporate it into your daily routine.

From its soft scent and bright orange peel, to its sweet tangy taste, few foods are more inviting than a tangerine. This vitamin-rich fruit is healthy and delicious, but its benefits accede the culinary. Extracting their essential oils, we use tangerines in myriad ways—incorporating good health and lovely aromas into our lives.

Who wouldn’t love to have a brighter complexion, fewer wrinkles, and overall healthier and more vibrant skin?

As it turns out, there’s a skin care product that can help with all of the above: Vitamin C serum. By adding this powerhouse vitamin serum to your skin care regimen, you could experience a variety of benefits, including but not limited to reduced inflammation, improved moisture, and protection from sun damage.

In this post, we’ll explore everything you need to know about Vitamin C serum, including what it is, its potential effects, and how to use it most effectively as part of your skincare routine.

Everyday, many of us use multiple skin care products to protect our skin from the sun, promote a smoother, youthful appearance, and clear out dead skin cells that may lead to pimples or dull-looking skin.

When Pantone announced their 2019 Color of the Year, we were thrilled! The choice of the shade Living Coral is more than just a pretty color for the upcoming year, it’s a beautiful example of taking inspiration for life from the beauty of nature.

The folks at Pantone describe Living Coral “as a shade that affirms life through a dual role of energizing and nourishing.” Their official press release, cites nature, ocean life, and a need for hope and optimism during rough times as the driving force behind the color choice.

Diffuser blends for staying motivated and positive are always at the front of our minds, but especially so at the start of a fresh new year. It just so happens that one of the most energetic and nourishing essential oils out there is grapefruit oil. We’re not wizards or time travelers, but is it really a coincidence our grapefruit oil bottle color happens to be coral? Maybe we are wizards...

But seriously, if you haven’t added grapefruit oil to your self-care routine yet, you’re really missing out on something special. In honor of the 2019 Color of the Year, and a shared hope for the coming year, we’ve compiled our favorite grapefruit oil diffuser blends just for you.
