Oleavine Health All Natural Therapeutic Foot Soak ~~REVIEW~~

There's nothing like a warm, soothing, relaxing foot soak after a long, hard day/week, right?  I really enjoy just sitting back with a glass of wine and my feet in a tub full of warm water.  While we usually just use Epsom salt in our foot baths in my house, I recently received the opportunity to try All Natural Therapeutic Tea Tree Mint Foot Soak from Oleavine.

The minty scent of this amazing soak is enough to send your senses into a paradise free from all the stresses and worries of life.  However, the soak, made from a variety of therapeutic salts and oils, is also designed to tackle nasty foot odor, fungus, and skin irritations.  The best news is, it really works! I've got to get back to the scent for a minute, however.  Yesterday afternoon was the last time I used this foot soak, and here I am 24 hours later, still smelling the delightfulness of tea tree mint floating through the air in my home.  I can't go on enough about how wonderful it is.  Don't take my word for it though.... Try it out for yourself!!

3 Fantastic Uses for Sweet Almond Oil

If you've been hearing a lot of talk about Almond Oil lately, it's likely a result of it's recent boost in popularity due to it's myriad of amazing health benefits.  Almond oil is known to benefit the skin and hair, as well as soothe aching muscles, aid in the functioning of a healthy heart, and so much more.  I recently had the opportunity to try a bottle of eHsense Naturals Sweet Almond Oil for free in exchange for my honest review, and along the way, have learned about so many benefits I previously was not aware of.  While there are way more than just 3, here's 3 of my favorite uses for Almond Oil:

Dark Circles - Almond Oil is a great way to tackle dark under-eye circles without the use of products containing potentially harmful/harsh chemicals.  Whether it's from lack of sleep or aging, we all experience dark circles at one time or another.  If you're anything like me, you would do nearly anything to get rid of them! While some people prepare a mixture of honey and almond oil, I prefer to apply it alone by gently massaging it onto my skin.  The feeling of rubbing the silky, smooth oil onto my skin is very relaxing as well.  I normally apply it right before heading to bed for the evening. If your skin is prone to dryness, it will welcome the oil, known for it's moisturizing qualities.

Muscle Relaxer - Hot almond oil massaged onto tired, aching muscles is a fantastic way to wind down after a long day.  A massage alone is already a great way to relieve tension, but the added benefit of the almond oil creates an incredibly relaxing experience while it expels toxins from your body.  

Hair Loss - For women experiencing their 20's for the second time, such as myself, at least a little bit of hair loss is inevitable.  However, did you know that the regular use of almond oil as a scalp treatment may hinder the thinning process of the hair?  Rubbing a tablespoon of warm almond oil into the scalp is another crazy awesome way to relax and wind down, but may also prevent the loss of hair while also helping to maintain a smooth, healthy, glossy appearance.  

Do you use Almond Oil?  I would love to hear how you use it in the comments below!!

Until next time...

Oleavine Neem Oil Review

Question:  Name one item that can protect your skin, fight aging, strengthen the scalp and beautify your hair, aid in the treatment of diabetes, rebel bugs and prevent mosquito breeding, treat athlete's foot, warts, kill fleas and ticks on pets and much, much more?  If you answered "Neem Oil," then you answered correctly.  If you don't know what Neem oil is, you're not alone, as I didn't know either, until I had the opportunity to try it for free in exchange for my honest review.

For those (like myself) who need to know where things "come from," you may be interested in knowing that Neem oil is derived from a tree native to India called the Azadiracta indica.  It's also referred to as "Neem," "Nimtree," and "Indian Lilac."  Due to it's abilities to combat insects, it's often used in agricultural products as a pesticide.  However, while it fights insects, it's been found to be mostly non-toxic to birds, fish, wildlife and, when used properly, humans.  With that said, many other amazing qualities of Neem have been discovered.

When being used to treat skin conditions, such as acne, eczema, and aging skin, Neem should only be used externally.  Neem is known to have a little bit of a foul odor, but produces phenomenal results.  With that said, many people like to mix it with their favorite essential oil to add a delightful scent.

I have not used Neem on my skin as of this posting.  However, at the time I received my bottle of Neem oil, I had an odd influx in fungus gnats in my home.  I think they probably came from some banana's that sat on top of the fridge for a day too long.  Nevertheless, once those things start multiplying, they're almost impossible to get rid of!  After scouring the Internet for a solution, I used a combination of solutions that seemed to work phenomenally.  I poured 3 Tablespoons of Neem oil into a small 2 oz spray bottle.  I then added a squirt of dish soap, and a little water.  After spraying the areas where the gnats seemed to gather, including the trash can, I was able to eliminate the nasty little guys within 2 days.  That alone gives me reason enough to keep a bottle handy at all times.  Nevertheless, I have heard of so many great benefits of using Neem oil on the skin, I do plan on expanding my usage of it once I can tolerate the smell.

Have you ever used Neem oil?  I would love to hear how you used it.  Please share in the comments below!
