Skin treats from Healing Earth Pretty Please Charlie

Healing Earth African Ginger Corrective Cream

This firming body cream is a treat. It contains ginger to tone and brighten the skin. Extracts of fennel, black pepper and cypress also aid in toning and firming. This cream, as with all Healing Earth creams, is free of parabens, preservatives and mineral oils, and no artificial fragrances or colours have been added. It smells lovely, is very moisturising and soothing and it does not irritate my sensitive skin.

Healing Earth Pinotage Facial Polish

Can we just first chat about how stunning this product looks?! I love the packaging. This facial scrub is made from real Pinotage grapes that are said to improve skin’s elasticity. Unfortunately, I don’t use physical exfoliators on my face as my skin is way too sensitive (especially during winter). I’ve also been told that my skin has a weakened barrier, so I decided to not aggravate the beast any more than it already is. Not that I think that this scrub is harsh at all though. I have been using it on my hands (which are just as sensitive as my face) and I love it. It leaves my hands feeling soft and smooth. It’s gorgeous.

Healing Earth Marula & Rose Hydrating Face Serum

This serum is a Fairlady Consumer Awards 2010 Winner! I am not surprised. It is amazing during the winter months especially. And if you suffer from dry skin, you have to give it a try. It contains loads of wonderful oils yet it is surprisingly lightweight (considering!). I found that it works best for me as part of my evening skincare routine, but on days that my skin felt particularly sensitive and dry, it worked very well under my day moisturiser as well. Two thumbs up for this beauty.

Thank you so much for introducing me to your brand Healing Earth. I love it.

Apothocary Laundry Salts

apothecary-laundry-salts

This ocean- and skin-friendly product is top of my shopping list. I hate the sound of water going down the drain and the water crisis has made me more aware of how precious every drop really is. Apothocary Laundry Salts are free of chemicals which means that the water used for washing laundry can be used to water the garden. These laundry salts will give you clean, great-smelling laundry, without no harm to your family’s health or to the planet.

Dry Planet Flush Away

It is quite shocking when you realise exactly how much water you flush away. We live by the ‘if it’s yellow, let it mellow’ motto in our house, but let’s be honest, you can only take it so far. That’s why I’m very keen to try Save-A-Flush. The envelope is filled with super absorbent beads which will absorb water when placed into the bottom of the toilet cistern. This will reduce the capacity of the cistern and can save up to 7000 litres annually in just one toilet! And it lasts 3-5 years. Add to cart…

Kuro-Bo 100% Natural Charcoal Water Filter

kuro-bo-100-natural-water-filter-activated-charcoal-large

Totally intrigued after I read this:

‘More and more South Africans are welcoming this special water filter into their health-conscious homes. Kuro-Bo Activated Charcoal is the first and only 100% plastic-free, natural and recyclable water filter in Africa. Activated charcoal, or Binchotan, has been used for centuries in Japanese culture to filter and purify water. The charcoal attracts positively-charged toxins and heavy metals, and draws them out of the water, while depositing beneficial minerals into the water. Activated charcoal also balances the water’s pH. A single stick of Kuro-Bo charcoal can give you up to 3 months of cleaner, healthier, better-tasting water.’

Sounds awesome, right? I am so keen on trying this. Plus it’s extremely cost effective.

Buzzy Wrap

blue-dot-buzzy-wrap-single-medium-largeBuzzy wraps are made from organic cotton, beeswax, organic jojoba oil and food grade tree resin and these wraps can be used in stead of plastic wrap and bags to keep your food fresh. It can be used to cover the top of an open bowl or it can be wrapped around cut open food. Or anything you want to keep fresh. What makes it so cool is the fact that you use your hands to warm the beeswax and the sheet will take the shape of whatever you are wrapping. Even cooler is the fact that Buzzy Wraps can be used over and over and over again.

Keeplifesimple Recycling Bags

keeplifesimple-large-recycling-bags-large

We’ve been recycling for a few years now and I have yet to put a real system in place. Our recycling ‘area’ consists of an old laundry basket hidden behind the bin. I think the Keeplifesimple recycling bags will make my life a lot easier. And a little prettier.
