Salus Organic Lotion Bar - Lemongrass

The organic lotion bar is a lush mix of organic shea butter, organic cocoa butter, sunflower oil, organic coconut oil, and organic beeswax. The lotion bars were moisturizing and delicately scented but it left my skin feeling a bit greasy and I found the need to constantly reapply lotion throughout the day.

Premium Barbary Soap - Badlands

The organic soap is composed of certified organic oils of sunflower, safflower, coconut and palm. It is scented with essential oils of sage, lavadin, lemongrass, spearmint with calendula petals and rosemary extracts (these were not certified organic). The soap arrived in a plastic baggie with a heavy duty cardboard box covering a portion of it. Personally, I would have prefer my soap to be shrink wrapped for hygiene reasons. The bar is a decent size, a bit smaller than a L'Occitane size bar and a Irish Spring bar. A tad thicker in width but smaller in length than Jergen's soap. The soap is fragrant and somewhat appealing. I can't figure out why I am not exactly in love with the scent . My first using of the bar, I found it hard to rub against my skin and felt a bit waxy. The second use and afterwards, the soap glided against my skin more easily without a waxy feeling. The soap didn't offer much of a lather nor left my skin moisturized. With a $15 price tag, I at least expected it to scent my skin a bit. Sadly, I didn't smell any of the essential oils on me. It's an okay soap but I don't think the price tag is justified.

Salus Shower Bomb - Lemongrass

I love taking baths but sometimes, one wants the scent of a bath bomb but not the hassle of cleaning the tub, water usage and the time commitment. When I came across this shower bomb, I figured it would help me relax in the shower like a bath would. The bath bomb was very fragrant when I opened and I couldn’t wait to be surrounded by the scent. Unfortunately, that’s the only time I actually got to smell the shower bomb. I put the bomb on the shower floor towards the end the water will hit in but not drown it as it is recommended on the label.  The shower bomb fizzled a bit and then died, barely any scent came out. Super disappointing, what was worst is that there was big  portion of the shower bomb that had no scent and just stayed there. Don’t get me wrong, I sometimes take 30+ minutes showers when I do my “treatments”. I am hoping I got a bad batch but I am in no hurry to find out.

Suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser

I have heard many good things about the Suki skin care brand and I decided to get this cleanser. I had thought I wrote a review about this as this my second bottle.  Alas, I digress. The cleanser has a sweet citrusy scent, thanks to the lemongrass extract. At first, when I ordered the product I was very curious how the sugar based scrub would be foaming.  It is quite interesting, that you take a little bit of product and mix a bit of water and rub your hands together with the product in the middle and it starts to foam. You then apply that foam to your face and wait a couple of minutes to wash it off. The cleanser does a good job exfoliate and it left my skin a bit tight the first time but my skin was so smooth and soft. I use this once a week to keep my skin fresh and clear.

Plated - Chicken Tikka Masala and Lemongrass Pork

My brother likes his food plain so no veggies for him~

I read so many good reviews about the food delivery services. They always have so many good recipes but occasionally they have one good recipe I would want to try and the other are so so. I kind of wish there was more variety.  This is my first order,  I can't wait to try the others. :) The only thing I wish they put the steps for creating the food before you buy, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten the Chicken one. My oven wasn't working the day I decided to make this so, I had to stir fry the chicken instead of broiling it.

Overall, the food was pretty tasty and there were generous portions. Now, if it was only a bit cheaper, I would do it more often.

In a never ending battle to make my skin care regime greener while keeping my skin healthy, I came across this widely recommended natural body wash. I liked the refreshing lemongrass and citrus scent and how it revitalized me during my morning shower.  Formulated without the icky parabens, phthalates and sulfate, it left my skin soft and lightly scented. However, I noticed it didn’t lather very well and I did have to use a lot more body wash to make sure everywhere was nice and clean. I also would recommend following up with a moisturizer as my skin felt a bit dry about an hour later.
