Natural Moisturizer Olive Oil

Dry skin? Don't want to absorb the chemicals in mass-market moiturizers? Try extra virgin olive oil! Nature's dry skin savior olive oil helps make your skin softer, smoother and is of course all-natural. It's best applied on damp skin (after your shower is best) and the effects are often longer lasting.

Typical mass-market skin care products spend most of the money on texture, fragrance, color and packaging. It's your dollar and your body, so the choice is yours. Give natural extra virgin olive oil a try and let us know how it works for you!

Organic Beer

Who said that if you choose to eat well and live an organic, healthy lifestyle that you can't have a good beer once and awhile? Well, if you happen to be on the east coast, particularily in Portland, Maine then you may want to try to get your hands on Peak Organic Brew. They offer a series of good-tasting craft beer and are completely organic.

How to Make Your Own Shaving Oil

If you're like most people you either have sensitive skin or dry skin especially in winter. If you have sensitive skin you know that shaving can wreak havoc on your skin! Commercial products keep your skin moist enough just to swipe the blade over it. The reality is that's it just not good enough if you want a great shave!

One of the ways to get a great shave is to use oil or a pre-shave oil. Men, if you use shaving cream, please use something organic like Herban Cowboy. Ladies, with oil you won't want to use shaving cream ever again because your legs will look so good! Men, say goodbye to dry skin, razor rash and that scraping feeling for good!

Here is the recipe for a great shave:

Use a base oil (choose from the following):

1. Olive Oil
2. Sweet Almond Oil
3. Grapeseed Oil
4. Jojoba Oil

Essential Oils (choose from the following):

1. Lavender
2. Chamomile
3. Rosemary
4. Patchouli
5. Thyme
6. Sandalwood
7. Lemon
8. You can try others if you're experimental

Put about 5 drops of essential oil per ounce of your base oil. Add less than a quarter of a teaspon of glycerin as well to help the blade glide over the skin.

You should store your homemade solution in a dark glass bottle if possible and store in a cool dry place. It should stay for months. Once you start using the solution you like, you won't believe how much better the shave can be. Plus, you can save money and know exactly what you're putting on your skin!
