Sorry I’ve skipped a week or two! I have had some family things to tend to and blogging got put on the back burner. I promised I would tell you where you could get more samples to try before buying!

My last blog post was on switching to more natural makeup products. You can read it here. I’m slowly moving to having less toxic and chemical free products. (At least as much as possible.) I am already pretty “crunchy“, but have realized there are so many more “crunchy” things I could be doing! Quite frankly I’m excited about almost all of them!!

I have currently been using W3ll People Mascara-Pro Brown. It earns the EWG Verified stamp of approval. Which is awesome! It’s a little different then say, Covergirl. Because it has all natural ingredients, you have to apply more to get that lash boost you desire. It bothered me at first, but after almost a month of using W3ll People, my lashes have grown and I lose less. I swear I lost 3-4 lashes a day wearing a more chemical mascara. Two things I never really thought about when starting my “natural” makeup path. Both are a very nice surprise! My eyelashes are also softer and don’t feel brittle like they use to.

Samples

I purchased W3ll People from Integrity Botanicals. With each order you get 3 free samples! THREE! My problem is narrowing it down to three. The first time I went to their free samples page I added everything I wanted to try.. Let’s just say I had to delete about 20 items from my cart to narrow it down to just three. (So unfair! Ha.)

Another great website that has samples to try is, The Detox Market. You can get 4 samples for $7.99. Not everything can be sampled. Although, if you would like to try something and it is available to sample, it will have a “Sample It” button next to the add to cart button.

Another website to purchase samples from is Real Purity. You can get samples anywhere from $0-$4.99. Real Purity is much like LA Minerals in that they only sale their own products. But unlike LA Minerals, they have cosmetics, bath & body and skin care products.

Natural Products

A lot of my samples have been natural deodorant. Going all “natural” isn’t as easy in a few things.  Finding the right deodorant for your body is way harder than I ever imagined it to be! I believe I’m on number 8 or 9 of trying to find the right one. I am very close to people all day long and my fear is that my patients think I stink!! Also, trying to go against what I’ve done for the last 20 years is hard to wrap my head around. I never even knew there were pastes you dip your finger in to apply, instead of roll ons or sticks!

Another one that is blowing my mind is the  “no-poo movement“. It’s not what it sounds like. It’s ditching the commercial shampoo for no shampoo. (Or in my case I’m trying natural shampoo, baking soda, apple cider vinegar, just plain water, and sometimes conditioner. I’m also going to try my hardest to skip a few nights altogether. 😱) This is the hardest one yet!! For the last 20 years or so I have shampooed and conditioned my hair NIGHTLY! Talk about chemicals and plastic build up!

But enough of that! I will get working on those blogs soon! Because I’m pretty excited about getting harmful chemicals out of my life! Hopefully I will be able to inspire you to ditch the “poo” and anti-perspirant. (As well as all those other chemicals in life. Cosmetics, soaps, lotions…)
