Beat The Heat Smelling Sweet With LAVANILA

Looking for ways to stay sweet in the heat? LAVANILA, purveyor of all natural vanilla scented perfumes and lotions, have recently expanded their line to include great summer staples such as deodorant and lip butter with SPF.  

LAVANILA Pure Vanilla Healthy Lip Butter SPF 15 ($16.00 USD) — This is a very yummy vanilla scented and flavored lip butter with the added benefit of SPF 15.  It’s perfect for all year round, not just summer, because it soothes dry and chapped lips. Plus it feels fantastic on and gives a bit of a shine. 

This wonder balm uses 100% pure shea, kokum, illipe, and cocoa butters to deeply penetrate lips for maximum hydration and super antioxidants deliver essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to nourish and soften. It is formulated without parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, petro-chemicals, phthalates,  GMO and triclosan.

LAVANILA The Healthy Deodorant ($18.00 USD) — First of all, I have tried the Vanilla Coconut (I LOVE coconut), and it smells fantastic. And second, I’m a sweaty girl. Gross, I know, but I need serious protection in the humid Kansas City summers. This deodorant touts that it is a clinical-strength deodorant that is 100% natural, safe, and effective. Sounds like a oximoron, right? Natural, clinical strength protection? Really?

Yes, really!  This not only smells good, but keeps me dry all day. It even goes on smoothly without white residue! It is formulated without parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, petro-chemicals, phthalates plus it does not contain aluminum or mineral oils.

The Healthy Deodorant is available in Vanilla Coconut, Vanilla Lavender, Vanilla Grapefruit and Vanilla.

FACE Stockholm Chrystal Deodorant

FACE Stockholm Chrystal Deodorant

Are you a fan of natural deodorant? I love the idea, expecially if it is good for your skin. But normally I go for the extreme, keep-you-dry, almost-prescriptive deodorants. I am sadly a sweaty girl. But I do like the idea of natural deodorant. 

So, with some trepidation, I tried FACE Stockholm Chrystal Deodorant ($9.00 USD). The website describes it as: 

“Free of harmful aluminums, parabens, and chlorohydrate, our all-natural crystal deodorant combines pure mineral salts with Chamomile to provide gentle, soothing, 24-hour protection. Fragrance free and hypoallergenic, our formula neutralizes bacteria to prevent odor, not cover it. Clean, non-staining and never sticky it dries quickly leaving no residue. A healthy, effective alternative for you and the environment.” 

What I thought: 

I like this for an everyday, just-out-of-the-shower deodorant. What I mean is that if I’m not doing anything strenuous, I will apply this after I take a morning shower. But it doesn’t work for me to apply in the afternoon or evening before going out and definitely not if I am going to the gym. I like that it doesn’t have a scent that conflicts with perfumes or lotions, but it isn’t too effective in covering my natural odor if I sweat. I do think this is great for taking a break from my stronger deodorants, and I also like that it doesn’t leave white marks on my clothes. 

If you don’t sweat heavily, take a chance and try this deodorant. It is good for you and the environment! Visit www.facestockholm.com to learn more and to purchase.
