EAR CANDLING

Ok, I did it.  I candled my ear.  It was incredible.  Here is what went down...  (don't view if you're a queezer...)

So the candling thing, I believe, is good.  I had to stop cleaning my ear with a q-tip on Dr's orders and this method was satisfactory.  1) It had a weird smell  2) The wax tubey thing didn't really go out when you blew it  3) Paper plate is better than aluminum  4) Some wax did get on me and it was quite hot  5) I couldn't get a comfortable position

It was highly bizarre but I would do it again with a few minor tweaks.  Thanks to Yadili for not letting me candle alone, and no, my hearing is not better.  I'll do it again though. That's the fresh perspective...

Okay, I just purchased an ear candling kit and thought I would have had an opportunity to tell you guys how it went and my perspective on said kit.

Unfortunately you have to put oil drops in your ear prior to candling which means I will be doing it tomorrow.  Stay tuned for my review and boatloads of earwax??!!!

OROFLUIDO First off, this product smells dee-lish (that was for you Lisa!).  Everyone (maybe not everyone) has heard or knows of a product that has argan oil in it.  At our shop we carry Macadamia Natural Oil and now...Orofluido!

In the past five years I think that the Argan oil  'product' has really taken off.  Argan oils originated from Morocco and these days they are the base of many oil products blended with other oils.  Orofluido (liquid gold in Spanish) has linseed oil and cypress oil blended along with the Argan oil.

These oil products are great for speeding up your hair drying time and because they are a natural product it's a plus/plus!  Some negatives: you do not get any hold or control from this product.  I find that most folks add it to their wet hair to let air dry and/or use it as a serum for flat ironing.

This product has a decent supporting cast.  It includes shampoo, conditioner, shine spray and a deep treatment that you can microwave and add the oil to for an aroma therapeutic experience... That's the fresh perspective...

MIGHTY LEAF TEA

This is amazing tea and has bountiful flavor!  I love that it's biodegradable, I love that it's tasty and I love that everything is recyclable and 'green'.

They use soy ink to print on the boxes and the boxes are recyclable (I said that already) and the tea tastes AMAZING.  I will say that many people that come to our shop boast about our teas...they do.  It's a known fact, now you know...

Mighty Leaf Teas are available in a wide assortment of flavors and they also have some light/non caffeinated varieties  as well. My faves include, Earl Grey, African Nectar and Vanilla Bean...yum and more yum!!

If you LOVE tea you must come in and try a cup or pop into Cornelia Bean and pick up a box.  I found out recently that it's also great as an iced tea.  My one fail about this tea is it's price but when it hits your lips...when it hits you lips it. Is. Over.  That's the fresh perspective...

NORWEX MAKE-UP REMOVER CLOTH

Yup, this has been my  'facial cleansing' regimen for the past two years and I have probably only had three zits.  I will say that prior to using the cloth I had pretty good skin but seemed to have some sporadic issues.  Since using the cloth I have had absolutely NO issues.

This cloth works wonders and is virtually free.  You buy it once and can use it forever...sort of... You actually can't use anything forever but you get what I'm laying down right?

I have two that I use and I haven't had to buy facial cleanser since.  There are a few odd things about it though... 1) It doesn't travel well.  I prefer not to take cloths/towels with me when I travel, the whole moist cloth thing in my luggage kinda bugs me (I'm relegated to using face wash when I am on the road).    2) I  hate the smell.  After about a weeks use, the cloth develops a real mogey scent.  It sucks. You do get used to it though.  I leave mine hanging on the towel rack so it can dry by the evening but...alack and alas, it still smells.

So, if you can get over the weird smell (I think to clean it you can boil it for five minutes...) AND you like to save money, just try this cloth.  Just try.  It is a miracle worker at removing make-up and keeping your skin fresh and clean with only water.  That's the fresh perspective...
