Coconut oil is what I would call a miracle multitasker. It has so many uses from internal medicine to beauty that the list goes on and it continues to grow as we speak. After posting about children's cleansing I got to thinking about this oil as a cleanser for that list as well. It would make the perfect companion for baby to kindergarten and beyond. It works well with its antimicrobial properties to gently cleanse away dirt and germs while leaving behind a moisturizer. You can also use the coconut all over the face then take a warm wash cloth and pat away the excess oil left behind if moisturizer is not needed.

I can see this working on children with sensitive skin or normal skin just like adults. I love to use it for my eczema or dry skin. It can also make a fabulous all natural lip balm/ lip protectant or chapped nose soother during the cold winter months!

* Make sure to purchase a cold pressed, organic coconut oil to make sure you are getting the purest form.

We all know or at least should know the saying, "you are what you eat". Fountain Beauty takes it to another level with their beauty molecules. Beauty molecules are liquid supplements that are for targeted ailments such as lackluster locks, a dull complexion, and even to perk up a frown.

I saw these in a couple different places and the packaging alone makes them intriguing. I love the graphic design here and the colors! For those of you that don't know, I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree. I take an extra microscope to art and design when looking at different products. It's definitely part of my passion. Cosmetics and makeup artistry are a form of art and I love the fact that art is such a broad topic just like the beauty industry.

But I digress....

Hyaluronic acid is found in almost every single one of these elixirs. After spotting that I decided to look up the ingredient, here is what WebMD had to say, "There is also a lot of interest in using hyaluronic acid to prevent the effects of aging. In fact, hyaluronic acid has been promoted as a "fountain of youth." However, there is no evidence to support the claim that taking it by mouth or applying it to the skin can prevent changes associated with aging. Some people apply hyaluronic acid to the skin for healing wounds, burns, skin ulcers, and as a moisturizer."

I have not tried or tested any of these yet. But I just couldn't help sharing with you guys because they are an interesting idea for supplements and "the fountain of youth" theory of beauty. Has anyone tried these yet?

Lately I have been finding myself becoming more and more curious about all natural beauty and skincare. More brands are coming along with amazing products that have ingredients as organic as what is in your fridge. If you don't want to purchase pre-made products there is also the world of homemade beauty products and skincare. We are talking food grade skincare people! Oatmeal for my face? Sure!

I have my mother in law and one of my best friends Kendall to thank for getting me more involved with healthy skincare and cosmetics. It's such a huge part of the beauty world and I am just touching the surface of this wondrous place! This series of posts will concentrate on homemade and all natural products from lipstick to facial oil. I hope to help people become aware of this growing industry and find great products along the way!

Now I am not planning on going full on organic/natural in all of my beauty products. I do still have tons of items in my collection that I love which are not organic or natural. I am expanding my horizons and dipping into healthier products. All types of beauty interests me so this includes the natural section as well!

I read on a few different blogs and Pinterest that lavender essential oil is great for keeping your lashes long and strong by adding it to your mascara. Of course I had to go out and purchase some to get started. I will put putting a tiny bit of lavender and possibly the rose hip oil into my Younique 3D Fiber Lash mascara and will definitely keep you guys updated on my thoughts/results. So exciting!
