The summer in the south has been going for the past month. We have dealing with very warm temperatures, which means tons of outdoor activities for everyone. We started with a Pre-K graduation and have not stopped. The rest on the summer is packed with great activities.  It also means we are outside working in the garden and trying to enjoy the weather. All of our summer plans will include time in the sun so I need to make sure to include my favorite natural mineral based sunscreen in my summer as I don’t want sunburn in my summer plans.

This busy summer will include the pool. I love that I can apply Goddess Gardens Kids Sunscreen when the kids visit us. I love that I am always prepared when we have little visitors who like to show up and want to do so much. I love that this mineral sunscreen comes in a spray because we always have kids who don’t want to stand still.

Sunscreen chemical are absorbed into the skin, triggering allergies and other skin reactions. Since natural minerals reflect the UV rays and aren’t absorbed in the skin, they are much less likely to cause irritation. This makes them great for those with sensitive skin or anyone who wants to avoid synthetic chemicals. The main ingredient in Goddess Garden is Zinc Oxide which provides natural broad-spectrum protection from both UVB (burning) rays, as well as the UVA (aging and damaging) rays.

Mineral Sunscreens are safe for the reefs and the environment.

Studies have shown common chemical sunscreens like octinoxate and oxybenzone are damaging the coral reefs. Hawaiian senators even introduced a ban on these chemical sunscreens in an effort to save the reefs. Because the minerals come from the earth, they can safely return there once your day in the sun is done.

I am ready for the summer and to work in my garden.  love using the Sunscreen Stick on my face as it is so convenient and mess-free. I keep a stick in my purse so I can use it on days that I forget to apply my sunscreen.

See how Goddess Garden can help you and your family stay safe this summer.

Goddess Gardens Brings Your Essential Oil Perfume-Spring Clean Your Fragrance Routine

Since I attended the Shift Con conference last year, I have made it my goal to try and eliminate chemicals from my household.  I was shocked to learn about all the things that are contained in the daily products that we use.

It’s time for transparency with fragrances! 


I was stunned to learn that many fragrances are full of phthalates and petrochemicals and some are even derived from animals. Most of us have no clue what chemicals are in the fragrance in our personal care products as companies can just list fragrance on the label and they don’t have to disclose what synthetic scent chemicals are in their secret recipe for their fragrance. Their fragrance could contain additives like phthalates, petrochemicals, and even oxybenzone—and none of it needs to be disclosed. It is time for transparency with fragrances! Companies should use ingredients they are proud of and list the on the label.

The need for transparency in fragrances was clear.Goddess Garden

Founder, Nova Covington, was inspired to start her company after her daughter had serious reactions to the synthetic chemicals in conventional body care products. Because label reading was such a necessity for them, transparency has been Goddess Garden’s standard practice. However, when it comes to fragrance, everyone—including the most avid label readers—are still in the dark. Even among natural products, labels often list only ‘a blend of natural and essential oils.’ This is simply not enough information if you have allergies, sensitivities or if you prefer clean ingredients or animal-friendly options.

They are many times when I am not able to wear perfume because I am sensitive. I was so excited when Goddess Garden introduced their Natural Perfume Line. This natural oil-based perfume that has natural perfume oils.

I continue to be amazed at the products  that Goddess Garden comes out with and the fact that they created these organic hypoallergenic perfumes for a women. I like that everyone can wear a great scented fragrance and not have to worry about allergies and hormone disruption. Yes, the fragrance chemicals that are lurking in most beauty products are linked to hormone disruption. 

 

These natural scented non-toxic perfumes smell so good! I simply love all the scents and love choosing a new scent every day. I think my favorite one is the Wildflower essential oil roll-on perfume. The roll-on essential oil perfumes also come in scents like Wildflower, Amber Fire, Citrus Sunrise, and Rainforest. The ingredients are simple and all listed on the box. There are no hidden ingredients as Goddess Garden has nothing to hide as they don’t use chemicals in their products. I already use many other products from Goddess Garden.

Goddess Garden-Aromatheraphy Bracelets & Essential Oils

During this time of year, I love playing with different scents in my home. I have several diffusers and candles at home that I change depending on my mood. At times, I will use a scent to calm me and at other times I will use a scent that inspires me.

For the past year, I have been learning more about essential oils and how they can make a difference in your life.  I find that just a little essential oil of peppermint on my wrist at nighttime makes it easier for me to fall alseep.

Did you know that essential oils can affect your mood?

The olfactory nerve cells are the cells that are responsible for your sense of smell. The part of the brain that processes messages produced by these cells is also responsible for mood and memory. It’s little wonder the brain often connects the two while multitasking, and closely ties scent with memory and mood. That’s how scent—and especially scent from essential oils—can trigger memories and alter your outlook! How Essential Oils Work.

I was recently introduced to  Goddess Garden Organic blends as they always smell so good. One of my favorite Goddess Garden blends is Happy Day.  This blend will  Lift your spirits with  happiness-boosting essential oil blend, featuring certified-organic citrus oils like bergamot and grapefruit. Our therapeutic essential-oil blend is paired with organic jojoba oil, so it’s gentle enough to reapply anytime you need extra joy and levity in your life. I also love that Goddess Garden makes these pretty Aromatherapy bracelets to use with their essential oils so I can wear it all of the time. Who doesn’t need a bit of a happiness boost this time of year.

These bracelets are made with porous lava rocks that absorb my essential oils so you can always have your favorite scent with you. You will be amazed at how one sniff of your bracelet with shift your entire mood.

Goddess Garden has three different styles of Aromatherapy bracelets and five Aromatherapy blends. Each of the oil blends enhances different moods. Simply choose the bracelet that makes you happy and then apply the oil according to your mood. The scent lasts all day. I am planning on given these out as gifts this holiday season.

Anyone who is new to essential oils can feel a little overwhelmed. There are rows of tiny bottles, all with suggestions and warnings. And let’s not forget the fact that some scents don’t play well with others! Our new line takes the guesswork out of using essential oils and makes aromatherapy error proof! All the blends work well alone or combined with other blends, and all blends coordinate with the bracelets. With both stones and oils, you’re drawn toward what you need the most. Just jump in! There are 186 ways to affect your mood that all work together—you can’t go wrong. This also makes them a great gift, especially for those who are hard to buy for!

 

Visit Goddess Garden and check out the new Aromatherapy On The Go line and tell me which bracelet and essential oil blend is your favorite then you will be entered to win one Goddess Garden Aromatherapy braclet and one essential oil blend of your choosing ($25 value).  The contest will run until January 15, 2018.
