Depth Body. Beauty from the Sea Review

Depth was introduced in 2008, but the idea for Depth was born a decade prior, when Tim Schaeffer and Korie Johnson met in graduate school, where they both studied to become marine biologists. Tim and Korie shared a love for the ocean and they soon found, for each other.

After graduate school Korie built her career as a marine biologist, protecting the marine habitats of endangered species, while Tim went to business school and subsequently worked in the natural products industry developing personal-care products that are gentle on both people and the planet. One of the many reasons Tim created the Depth brand is his strong desire to bring the beauty, abundance and therapeutic benefits of marine botanicals to consumers through their use of Depth products.

Today, Tim and Korie remain strongly committed to preserving marine life, so a percentage of the sale of every Depth product goes to Camp SEA Lab, a non-profit camp in Monterey Bay, California that offers authentic marine experiences to underserved children, instilling in them a sense of love and respect for the sea.

Tim and Korie, who married in 2004, have two young sons, Benjamin and Calvin. When they’re not working, it’s likely you’ll find the Schaeffers on the sand at the water’s edge, appreciating the sun, sand and sea, marveling at what lives beneath the surface.

When I first opened my package from Depth, I reached right for the Depth Bay Coconut Hand Soap, twisted off the pump and inhaled.  Such a light and airy coconut scent.  Some get it wrong and try and make is smell like a tropical sweet drink, but Depth has it right, just balanced, earthy and sweet.  It also has a great lather, that actually cleans under my nails with out too much effort and leaves my hands clean, but not tight.  I wash my hands a lot no matter what time of year it is.  And I am planning on ordering a couple more bottles so I can have it in each room I wash up in.

Depth products contain 100% natural aroma blends, a combination of pure essential oils and what are known as “natural aromatics.” Through a simple distillation process, natural aromatics are isolated from a range of botanicals and then blended with pure essential oils to achieve fresher and more complex aroma blends, completely naturally.

All of Depth’s Products are:

• 70% Organic
• SLS Free
• 100% Natural Aroma Blends
• 100% Vegetarian
• Artificial Color Free
• No Animal Testing

I also asked to try out Depth’s Drench Hydrating Shampoo and their Immererse Daily Conditioner.  Both have this lovely, clean scent, that is really light and sorta just smells like a sunny clean day.  No leftover rainy smells, just fresh and clean.  For being natural, it has an awesome lather, and really cleans my hair with out much scrubbing plus leaves it full of moisture but not weighed down.  Really balanced.  If there is one thing I am picky about it is hair care Depth passes my testing with flying colors.

Infused with a unique blend of sea botanicals, certified organic aloe vera, Sea Lettuce, mango butter, sea weed extracts and natural emollients, Depth Shampoos and Conditioners are ultra-hydrating, refreshing, and moisturizing. Plus with such unique ingredients they really stand out from the pack.

Jessicurl Review By Julie of MoonCat Farms Plus Giveaway

I created the Jessicurl line after years of using products that didn’t work for my curly hair. From our curl-enhancing styling products to our moisturizing conditioners, each product contains only ingredients that offer a specific benefit to your curly hair — there is no filler. By improving the health of your hair rather than masking the damage, the end result is a much more vibrant head of curls. Thanks for stopping by, and have a curly day! — Jessica McGuinty-Founder

Remember when i asked for a reader to volunteer to do a “curly hair” product review? Well, I found my girl and guy for the review. Meet Julie. She not only has a curly mane, but her husband does too! Julie also runs a blog called MoonCatFarms, so go browse around and take the time to comment. We bloggers live for comments!

1. Animal testing – Why would you test something on a creature that is MADE FOR HUMAN USE and even has a warning to keep away from pets.
2. Harsh Chemicals & Fillers – We don’t want extra gunk in or on our bodies if we can help it
3. Company Policies & Practices – Companies that have questionable dealings won’t get my business, and
4. Price – I want big bang for my buck.

In my initial research when I was told about Jessicurl, it appeared that they might be a fit according to my “issues” above, but it all comes down to how would the product work for us?

We received the trial size sets packaged in nice clear, reusable zippered bags. The Light formula was sent for me as my hair is finer and gets weighed down easier than Hubby’s. He was sent the Rich formula for his thicker, drier textured hair. We both may have naturally curly hair, but it is very different. The lovely people at Jessicurl also sent along Microfiber Scrunching Towels for each of us.

One thing I wasn’t very keen on was the fact that they used styrofoam packing peanuts in the shipping box. I have a personal hate for them as they aren’t very earth friendly and make a major mess.

I couldn’t wait to try this new-to-me line. I eagerly read the information that accompanied my set and took off to the shower. The smell of the Gentle Lather Shampoo is fabulous, Citrus Lavender. Because it’s not filled with lots of chemicals and bogus ingredients, it doesn’t lather as much as I was used to with most of the other shampoos I’ve used. I did do the “lather, rinse, repeat” steps and my hair felt good and smelled very clean.

I followed up with the Aloeba Daily Conditioner. It’s made with natural oils of aloe, coconut, jojoba, and avocado along with various herbs and spices. Almost yummy! I read on the website that some people use it as a leave-in conditioner, but my hair leans towards oiliness so I rinse it out.

I skipped towel drying my hair and sprayed the Gelebration Spray all over it before adding the Confident Coils Styling Solution. After scrunching the products throughout my hair, I then blotted it with the Microfiber towel to get the excess water out. After letting it air dry and KEEPING MY HANDS OFF IT (a huge tip that is repeated several times in the instructions and on the website), I was very happy with the soft, controlled curls I was seeing. Plus, it smelled great (can you tell that scent is a biggie with me?)

I followed many of the hints and directions from the Jessicurl Site and the accompanying paperwork. A lot of great advice and information is available for curlyheads. So far, Jessicurl covers all of my concerns with no animal testing, many natural ingredients, company policies, and pricing. Most of all, it works for my hair.

Now, let’s turn the keyboard over to the peanut gallery/Hubby and get his perspective on Jessicurl.

I was a little more skeptical than my wife when asked to try these hair products. She tends to choose the things we use around here, usually based on eco-friendly issues so I’m never sure what we’re going to have. I thought at first she was just tickled with the cute names of the products we were to try. Most of the time I don’t notice a difference between one shampoo and the next. If it’s in the shower, I’ll use it.

I was a little put out when I first tried the Hair Cleansing Cream since it didn’t lather up very much. I didn’t think my hair was going to get very clean so I sudsed it up twice. (I read the literature they sent afterward and found out that this is normal due to less chemicals added.)

I followed the shampoo with Too Shea! Extra Moisturizing Conditioner and used the little PINK (what no blue for us curl-endowed men?) towel to soak up the extra water. The Weekly Deep Conditioning Treatment was “accidentally” used next. I put a small amount in my hair and was all set. I found out later – when I read the directions – that I was supposed to be using the Rockin’ Ringlets Styling Potion next. I also read that I was to rinse out the conditioner, but it really made a difference in how moisturized my hair was and actually kept my hair under control for the day. My baseball cap didn’t even mess it up. The Rockin’ Ringlets was used later on and it works well too, I just don’t use a lot of styling products on a daily basis.

After using this set for a couple of weeks, I’ve really noticed a big difference in my hair. It’s not as dry and coarse-feeling as before. It doesn’t seem to frizz up as readily either. The major benefit for me is that the wife is very happy with how it looks and feels. She can’t keep her hands out of it. I think it’s a big thumbs up from both of the curlyheads at MoonCat Farms.

End Julie and Husband of MoonCatFarms.

Thermafuse Review and Giveaway

Ahh, my hair feel so silky after applying Thermafuse’s HeatSmart Serum.  It is formulated to be a dry oil, so it doesn’t give you that “greasy” look when you want to add shine, or make your ends look neat and non-frizzy.  Not at all.  Even with my hair being so dark right now, it doesn’t ever make it look greasy.

I had that problem with every other shine enhancer, and serum that I have have since my hair dye fiasco.  My hair being dark, and applying those shine sprays and serums, made me look like I had just dipped my hair in an oil vat!

The HeatSmart Serum is created with a HeatSmart Complex that feels like satin.  And smells like cotton candy.  Leaves hair nice and fresh and so satiny!!  I have even it found it light enough, that I can use it on my second day hair, and have no weight issues, usually my second day hair, would lay flat if I applied any serums to the ends.  This product is light, and like I said before, a dry oil.  I really can’t remember the last time I was so excited about a hair product other then shampoos and conditioners. This is a styling aid, as well as a treatment!

All of Thermafuse’s products contain the HeatSmart Complex. The complex is made up of a silicone molecule, bound to a wheat protein molecule, that stays on and in the hair. It is activated even more thoroughly by applying heat!  So no more worries about frying my hair when blow drying, or even using a straightener!  This complex not only protects but it heals your hair from past damage too.

I was also sent the Shampoo and Conditioner from this line as well.  But to be frank, my hair is healthy!  I don’t need the repair as much, and so I would like to pass these along to one of you readers!  Thermafuse products are only available in salons, so you know you are getting professional products!

I have one full sized ThermaFuse Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner for one Prissy Green Reader!  To enter, you must go to the Thermafuse website and choose another product, not mentioned here, that you would like to try.  Then come back here and leave me a comment!  OR you can use their Salon Finder and tell me which salon near you carries the line!

Mermaid’s Purse, Natural Organics Review and Giveaway

How cute is the name Mermaid’s Purse?  I just love it.  Quite fitting too!  Measha owner and founder of Mermaid’s Purse, has got the ticket just right!

Here is a couple things Measha has to say about her gorgeous shop:

I come from Native American roots, where you learn to use all parts of what you are blessed with. My grandmother used to make soapwith her own grandmother, so naturally when I was interested, she taught me first the homesteader method, with suet or animal fats, and then showed me how to use plant and vegetable oil alternatives. My grandmother was also a certified massage therapist and worked with essential oils for aromatherapy. I decided that if I was going to make something, I wanted it to be natural, using only plant-based ingredients. Where would I be without Grandma?

In 2003 I used my skills to develop a business and sold my soaps at arts and crafts shows. My mother used to do shows when I was growing up, so I wasn’t at all afraid of trying this for myself.  It actually made me feel right at home.  Here I was in the same environment that I enjoyed so much as a child.

It was during my first pregnancy that I would develop my first ever non-soap beauty care product. My inspiration came from being unable to find any all-natural products to prevent stretch marks. My first product would be my “Belly Butter”. From there, Mermaid’s Purse has grown into a full product line including, natural soaps, body butters, shampoos, massage oils, natural deodorants, salves and mineral soaks.

We’ve now been in business officially since 2003 and I believe our success can be attributed to a couple of things.  One, all-natural products really work. We enjoy what we do and put a lot of focus on making quality natural products. We not only make them, we also use them because they are so effective.  Secondly, because we do make all of our products, we can customize them based on a customer’s preference. After all, we’re all individuals, who can enjoy the same benefits of natural products – just to the beat of our own flavor! Try Mermaid’s Purse today, and find your own beat.

She carries a wide range of products from home grown natural loofah, to dried herbs, and essential oils.  But the shopping doesn’t stop there!  She also has shampoos, soaps, Dead Sea Mineral soaks and so much more! It is a shop you can definitely get a little lost in, so don’t forget to tether yourself with a rope, in case you need pulled back out! =)

I sampled a few items, and have to say, they are as good as described!  The Mini Dead Sea Mineral soak was the first item I tried out.  This mineral rich bath soak is a blend of Dead Sea Salt, Pacific/Atlantic Sea Salt and Epsoms Salt combined for their curative powers. For centuries people have soaked in salt baths to facilitate wound healing, to smooth and soften skin, and to ease muscle aches and swelling.

You already know how I feel about bath soaks!  I used this on my feet and ankles one day, and wow, what a difference.  My feet felt recharged and ready for the day all over again!  I don’t really ever take the time out to just soak my feet, and usually when i am in the tub soaking, I have me feet up, so I can fit better.  I need to start doing this more often!

Craig is a huge soap lover, and reviewed the Goat’s Milk Soap.  I never even realized it had been opened!  Imagine my disappointment, when i found the wrapper and asked him if he liked it?  His response was that is was really creamy and left his skin soft.  He isn’t a huge lavender fan, being a dude and all, but he said that the peppermint and lavender had a nice scent, and seemed to mesh pretty well.    I appreciate that fact that they offer 50 Cent samples, or their full 6.5 oz bars for $7.00.  Samples are great for traveling, or for test driving which you want to buy bulk of!

I also was treated to s sample size bottle of her Orange Blossom Shampoo/Body Wash.  Most of the time you only see these for kids, I always figured it must be hard to get it right for adults!  Well MP has done it correct, as this was nice on my hair, as on my body.  It left my hair soft and manageable, and left my skin clean, with a slight fragrance of Jasmine and Orange.

100% Natural and Organic ingredients! Our Shampoo Body Wash is PH balanced for all hair types, and is loaded with scalp benefiting essential oils! Botanical extracts leave skin and hair clean and nourished!

Mermaid’s Purse has some well thought out gift sets.  If you are looking for a new product line to try out, or a gift for someone, i highly suggest checking them out!

Mermaid’s Purse would like to offer one Prissy Green reader their choice of two special spa packs!

Pack 1:Large Dead Sea Mineral Bath Soak with your choice of an Essential Oil to go with it

Pack 2:assortment of 5 soaps and 2  samples of what ever products you would like to try

To enter to win, go check out Mermaid’s Purse Natural Organics, and tell me at least one product and scent if applicable that you would like to try!

White Sands New Vegan Shampoo and Conditioner Review and Giveaway

White Sands products use cutting-edge science combined with natural botanicals to make each formula dynamic and unique. Our products use ingredients to create heat shields, which, in turn, behave like a second skin. As this shield protects your hair from UV Rays and thermal stress, hair is finally allowed to breathe. White Sands products even supply ultimate protection with a moisture balance offering lasting hold and humidity resistance.

White Sands blends natural botanicals, such as Heliogenol, lemon grass, and chamomile, to provide hair color protection and color enhancement. These high-performance formulas transform tresses into beautiful, flawless hair.

100% Vegan and Sulfate Free cleansing duo to moisturize hair from the inside out, while providing superior hair color protection

3 reasons why you are color secure:

·   Color Intelligent
·   Sulfate Free
·   Clear Micro Shield

Now I freely admit, I was not using this or testing this out for color treatment!  But this formula is extremely hydrating and lathers really well.  The shampoo left my hair conditioned enough, that I even wondered if I should bother with conditioner!  Of course I still do, and the conditioner adds a great shine to my hair.

I have one of each for one Prissy Green reader!  A hydrating Shampoo and Hydrating Conditioner.  To enter, go to White Sands, and tell me another product you would like to try out!

Simply Organic Review and Giveaway

Simply Organic is a family owner and run business that supplies it’s plant based hair care, skin care, bath & body and lifestyle accessories to some of the finest salons, boutiques, hotels and spas around the world! The are based and created out of Spring Park, Minnesota. (I love Minnesota!)  Each product seems to have Olive Leaf Leaf Extract in it, and their label has a photo of the Olive tree, stating “The Tree of Life.”

Simply Organics Mission is to to share with their clients new ways to incorporate healthier choices into their everyday lives. They are consistently striving to research and develop the safest, highest quality products available while introducing unparalleled wellness information to the professional salon and spa community.  All of their products are certifies organic.

Simply Organics main focus is hair care, and after sampling thier Everyday Hair & Scalp Wash and Everyday Hair & Scalp Rinse I know why!

It is gentle, I can use it all the way down to my ends (which for black and blue reasons is important right now).  It is a remarkable shampoo for every other day use, and my hair is illustrious and shiny even on that second day! Truth be told, it is even shiny (not from oil) on the third day before I hope in the shower.  I can tell it has been giving some life and strength back to my hair, plus it gives added protection even before applying conditioner.  It smells delicious, like a a vanilla wafer dipped in lemon pie.  Plus being certified organic isn’t too shabby either right?

So I have been following that up with a dose of their Everyday Hair & Scalp Rinse.  I think it is far to often that women don’t nourish their scalps.  I apply a natural oil to my scalp at least one night a week, and let it soak in over night, and when i condition, I apply a little to my roots too, close the cuticle baby!  The conditioner is responsible for replacing any essential oils that might be lost in washing your hair.  So important.  Plus, any moisture that might be lost on your scalp, after all the scalp is skin, and you always moisturize your skin right?  It also aides in protecting and strengthening.  I can feel it working, love the avocado oil in it.  Normally if I were to pick out my own conditioner, I always go for the heavy hitters.  But this was actually spot on for my hair right now.  There is so much added weight to my ends with the crappy color, that my hair is weighed down.  This conditioner is effective, but yet light weight, plus it smells like oranges.

A few days ago I told you that I had stopped using body washes altogether, for a couple of reasons, one was the waste, I don’t need an extra bottle being thrown in the recycling bin, but two, I love handmade bar soap!  I would take a picture of how many I am using, or rather how many I have opened right now, but it is embarrassing!   After using Simply Organics Everyday Moisurizing Body Wash those bar soaps are getting a new partner in the rotation game!  Great “latherablity” (nice word) and leaves my skin nice and balanced.  A little pricey for my pocket book at $34 for 16.5 oz. It did win a  2009 Natural Solutions, Beauty with a Conscience Award though, so that tells you how good it is!  They do have Shea Bar soap, but I haven’t gotten a chance to try it out.

The Everyday Moisturizing Body Lotion.  I use a lot of oils at night to keep my dry skin hydrated, but during the day, I want something less greasy!  This is deep moisture, with out the heaviness and greasiness.  Made with olive oil, shea butter and safflower oil it is great that they were able to keep it that way!

I have TWO prizes to giveaway.  Each will receive an Amenity Gift Set which is a great way to try all the products listed above plus the Lavender bar soap, you will receive:

Everyday Hair & Scalp Wash (2 oz)
Everyday Hair & Scalp Rinse (2 oz)
Everyday Moisturizing Body Wash (2 oz)
Everyday Moisturizing Body Lotion (2 oz)
Oatmeal Lavender Bar Soap .75oz
Simply Organic Lip Balm (0.15 oz)

To purchase all the items in this kit, it would cost $47!  You can purchase this kit for only $25.75! To enter, head on over to the Simply Organic Beauty Website, and browse around, and pick out an item or more!  (something not reviewed here!) and come back here and tell me what item you most like to try and why. You must do this correctly, you can’t just say I want to try one of their shampoos, that doesn’t count.

Amazon Beauty’s Rahua Organic Hair Care Review and Giveaway

Perfect shampoo for growing out hair?  Or for extremely dry and damaged hair? I truly think I have found it.  I may have tested a few other hair products lately, but this one has always made it’s way back to prime shower shelving!

Of course the price is a little high compared to your average store bought and possibly even salon bought shampoos and conditioners, yet I promise you, if you have dry or damaged hair you need this product!  Or if you are trying to grow your hair out quickly, this and some supplements should have your locks gracing the floor in no time!  (ok, maybe not gracing the floor, but I do think it made my hair grow faster)

Rahua Organic Hair Care Collection, with pure extracts, grown in the wild forests of the Amazon rainforest, Amazon Beauty has created a collection of rare and potent elixirs and hair care products that cleanse and condition the hair with ingredients that have been used by Amazon women for hundreds of years.

Rahua Organic Shampoo strengthens and lengthens all hair types including color-treated and delicate hair, balances and maintains a healthy scalp. Made with rainforest grown ingredients, Rahua Elixir repairs damaged hair and Palo Santo imparts a beautiful aroma. Organic Rahua Shampoo is free of chemical preservatives and a is high performance, 100% natural product.

Key ingredients in Rahua Shampoo include Rahua Elixir which instantly repairs damaged hair and speeds hair growth and Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens), a centuries old calming ingredient from aged holy wood that imparts an amazingly beautiful aroma and is traditionally used in Shaman ceremonies. $32

Rahua Organic Conditioner strengthens and lengthens all hair types including color-treated and delicate hair. And is completely organic, and natural, and boosts the same hair healthy ingredients as the Shampoo. $34

The most unique feature of Rahua is its super-fine, nano-molecular structure that allows for the molecules of Rahua to penetrate into the hair’s cortex, rebuilding even the most porous, damaged hair for a strong, shiny, healthy mane. Rahua Organic Leave-In Treatment is perfect for those that love cream-based formulas and can be used for instant dry and damaged hair repair.

This leave in is a little thick to use all over for me, but applied to my ends, it does magic.  Abra-cadabra magic. You really only need a small amount and work through wet hairs’ ends. $28-90

Lastly they have this serum.  I wasn’t able to try this out, but with the starting price being $100 I understand.

Rahua Elixir is 100% natural, vegan and organic and is grown wild in the Amazon in symbiosis with nature. Rahua Elixir promotes longer, stronger, healthier hair with every drop holding the promise to care for ones hair, ones health and the environment.

Pamper locks with the luxurious high-quality performance of Rahua Elixir. Adds brilliance and elasticity to all hair types, including color-treated hair. $100-$175

This is one shampoo no one else is allowed to TOUCH! heck they better not even look at it.  It suds up nicely and smooths over hair in a velvety lather, rinses well, has a very light, yet lovely scent.  Using the regular shampoo and conditioner combo is like using most haircare lines treatment products. Truth is, it works!  It does everything it claims, and maybe even more!  I certainly have a healthy head of hair, along with a healthy scalp, and I will be reordering when I am all out.  Somewhat lucky for me, I only wash my hair 3-4 times a week, so this will last a good amount of time.  I am only half-way through now!

I have a complete set minus the Elixir for one Prissy Green Reader!  To enter, tell me something unique that you find on their Amazon Beauty Website.
