still looking for holiday gifts?

The holidays are close to being over but if your like me, your probably still looking for last minute stocking stuffers or gift ideas. I've pulled together a few products below that are favorites of mine or that I bought for gifts this year. All products can be ordered online and most can be found at your local health food or beauty supply store.

(1) Multi-use palatte from Josie Marans organic makeup line, no parabans or fragrances and comes in a biodegradable compact!
(2) Jurlique rose hand creme, also available at Saffron Rouge in citrus and lavender scents.
(3) CO Bigelow lip gloss. A staple for my purse, desk, bedside table...this gloss comes in many amazing scents and has .1% Peppermint oil which gives an amazing scent and never leaves my lips dry or chapped (also you can get these 2 for 10$ at Bath and Body works).
(4)Pangea Organics Japanese Matcha Tea with Acai & Goji Berry mask. Now this I have not tried but is supposed to be one of the new "it" masks. One of my lucky friends is getting this for Christmas...and I need to pick one up for myself as well!
(5) Ren Morrocan Rose massage oil. Whats a sweeter gift than massage oil? And it doubles as a body oil or bath oil. Ren makes amazing products! Available at Whole Foods as well as online.
(6) Alba Kukui Nut organic body oil. I use this regularly, the scent is sweet and exotic and my skin never feels greasy afterwards. Also great for a massage or bath oil.

I've also pulled together some great gifts sets, aside from my favorite that I posted before, I also think these are wonderful options.


(7) For the new babies and expectant mothers, Jurliques Baby's Bathtime Kit, it's on sale at Saffron Rouge!
(8) Dr.Hauschkas Aromatherapy Bath Kit. A wonderful way to explore different oils for stress-free bathing.
(9) An adorable gift set from Zia that comes with a soy candle, body butter and Madagascar Vanilla Red tea to complete your pampering experience. This set is on sale, I guess there are some benefits to last minute shopping!
(10) Juice Beauty Organics to go travel kit! A great way to try out this much talked about skincare line, there seems to be just about a little bit of everything in this box! And the kits on sale for $29 when you order from the Juice Beauty website.
(11) Lastly for the friend who likes the finer things or should I say more expensive things in the product world there is the Care by Stella McCartney Discovery Set. The set has great shelf appeal and will only set you back $38.

I hope these suggestions helped solve some shopping dilemmas or if anything provided you with some new product for yourself! What I love about the holidays is that there are a lot more gift sets and trial sizes offered by companies. This gives opportunities to be adventurous and try new product samples without having to spend too much money.

Hi Yvonne,

Got here through Blogs of Note. Congrats on being listed. Also, love Alba products!
Check out Kiss My Face, I use their Peaches and Cream moisturizer. I used to use Alba's Green Tea and Aloe, but this one is better. Got 3 percent Alpha Hydroxy and it leaves the skin feeling better. Just thought I'd pass on a recommendation.

I have CO Bigelow lipgloss in my desk AND my purse. We don't have a Bath and Body Works where I live, so when I hop the border I always fill my bag with some.

And.... Juice Beauty is the only product that touches my face and I've seen a MAJOR difference since using the line.

help my inner self.
