I just found another great company for skin care that is gluten free. This is on the Etsy website
The name of the company is GoddessVerde so what you would do is go to Etsy's website ( www.etsy.com )and in the search area put in Goddessverde. Then go to soaps , there you will find a gold mind of a soap. it is called Vegan Yucca Citrus Soap. This is fantastic it is one of those body bars so it can be used for your body and your hair. As you know my hair is tricky and does not like a lot of different products but this one it loved.
My hair was soft shinny and had lots of volume, volume that would not quit . Even the next day my hair was like I had a soft set it was filled with bounce body and shine.
I was trying to find a soap that I could get that had yucca in it instead of getting the plant and doing it myself to have a shampoo.
I found this soap and decided to give it a try. It is so nice it has such a nice fragrance to it not strong at all but pleasant. This soap lathers very well and it is a big bar of soap. It cost $6.50 plus shipping.
It was a total cost with shippping $9.50 and it is well worth it. My hair really likes it as they say it is growing a shine to it. I know this will last me a very long time which I am extremely happy to have such a great soap in the palm of my hand.
I even had people coming up to me asking me what I use on my hair. I was in line at a drug store picking up a prescription for my husband . I had a tap on my shoulder and this gentleman said to me I am not trying to pick you up or anything but your hair is georgeous. May I ask what you use on your hair.
I know the picture I have up of myself on my blog has me with brunette hair but at that time my hair was colored. I do not color my hair any more. So my hair is grey all over. This gentleman said to me I have never seen grey hair look as good as it does on you . He stated that he was a hair stylist and he wanted to know what I had used. He said your hair just looks like tiny firecrackers going off in the lights of the the store. He said to me I have not seen anything like this before.
I let him know about this soap . He said you know Yucca is very good for the hair. He said I will have to look int this for my salon thank you so much.
I had never had a compliment like that before I was a happy camper.
I hope you have as much fun and excitement as I did with trying this soap
Thank you

ANOTHER HOME MADE INEXPENSIVE SHAMPOO/ BODY WASH COMBINATION
05/27/2013
I found this online the other day and it works that is to get your favorite soap and turn it into a liquid body wash.
I wanted the complete package shampoo / body wash so I bought on sale an all natural shampoo bar that had great ingredients in it for the hair and for your body. It was super moisturizing.
I thought if this works I will be a very happy camper and it did work
I bought like I said on sale a shampoo bar , I shaved it down into a pot with a potato peeler.
Then I poured hot distilled water over the shaved soap just to cover it and put it on the stove.
You can use also regular hot tap water this is just a little bit more purer using the distilled hot water.
I melted all the peices to a liquid and put into it a table spoon of coconut oil
Then I let it sit for 12 hours over night
The next day it looked a little bit too thick so I gradually put more distilled water to it until it was a perfect combination body wash and shampoo
This is great I shaved a 4 oz shampoo bar with turning it into a combinaiton Shampoo body Wash I now have over 24 oz of my concoction so it is super ecconomical
I think I paid $ 4.00 for the shampoo bar and to get the results I got with using it this way my hair looks and feels great and my skin is very soft and smooth
The best part of all this is you can do this with an unscented shampoo bar and put in your favorite scents with essential oils and add things to it to make it what you would like it to be
You can even buy empty foaming bottles pour your concoction into it and give it to someone as a gift that you made for someone like yourself that has allergies to most skin care products
Another great thing to do for home made products I have not tried this one yet but I am going to try it shortly
You get Vitamin C powder and make a great night facial mosturizer
The way you would do this is to melt a few tablespoons of coconut oil pour it into a container that you wold like to use then add with essential oils any scent you wold like or just use it unscented and put into it a pinch of the vitamin C powder mix it up let it harden and there you are
One great moisturizer for the face that helps out with those pesty facial wrinkles and lines on the face.
Thank you

SIMPLE HOMEMADE SHAMPOO/ BODYWASH
05/08/2013
SIMPLE HOME MADE SHAMPOO / BODY WASH
I love this home made shampoo / body wash.
It is so easy and so moisturizing and best of all no chemicals and no itch just soft supple skin
Half cup any scent or if you wish no scent Dr. Bronner's liquid Castile soap
Third cup canned Coconut Milk
2 table spoons Aloe Vera either from the plant itself or a pure Aloe Vera organic gel
If your hair is on the drier side add a half teaspoon olive oil
I also added 2 tablespoons of organic Honey to it and my hair is soft and full of a great sheen.
Mix together and put into an empty bottle, each time you use it just reshake the mixture . It cost pennies to make per shampoo use and for me it is one of the best shampoo body washes that I have tried
The next shampoo recipe is really interesting I have not tried this yet but tou get a Yucca plant
You take a pieceof the root off
Then you shave it down w a potatoe peeler until you get to the white part of the plant then you smash that piece with a hammer , it will become soft then just put it under running water and there it will bubble up and you have a shampoo like I said I have not tried this yet but it is supposed to make your hair soft and shinny and full of volume . when I do I will let you know about it. I am looking for a Yucca plant as we speak
Thank you

THE HONEST COMPANY
02/13/2013
I just found this company that I love I do not work for them but I do love them. The name of the company is called The Honest Company it was founded by Jessica Alba and a friend of hers. They were looking for skin care products and cleaning that they could feel comfortable using in their home for themselves and their children that had no chemicals in them. This is skin care and cleaning products. They even have it that you can sample their products free of charge you just pay for shipping.
It can be for a Baby Bundle with Baby products or what they call the Family Essential Bundle.
The Family Essentials Bundle is a mixture of 5 different products that they have picked out I think it has a trial size of a Shampoo/ Body Wash a Conditioner trial size of a liquid soap, Laundry Detergent unscented and a Bathroom cleaner.
You try them out and if you like them then you let them know and they will send out to you 5 different products that you can change if you do no like the ones that they have chosen for that month. The cost is 35.95 a month plus shipping but you can just also just pick out one product to try out at a time also.
I have tried most of all the products and love all of them. They have just come out with organic cotton dish towels, organic dish brushes and also candles.
The products are all organic and they smell wonderful
I love the Shampoo/Body Wash it is the scent of like orange/vanila /lemon it is really a great fragrance.
The Website is www.honest.com
They are also great to deal with and very helpful I hope you love them as much as I do.
Thank yo u
