This recipe, is easy peasy! Just don’t drink the bath water, make a cup to enjoy for yourself!

Do you remember hearing the Cleopatra took milk baths?  Milk is great for your skin, as it contains Lactic Acid.  Lactic Acid is a moisturizing acid, that helps to very gently exfoliate, and moisturize at the same time.  Milk also contains proteins and vitamins that  our skin just drinks in!hot chocolate

If you are vegan, try substituting Rice Milk.  I haven’t tried that route, as Craig drinks regular milk, so I just steal his for this treat!  Rice Milk also has some great compounds, so I would think it would provide some benefit!

Hot Chocolate Milk Bath

Ingredients:

2 Cups of Chocolate Milk  (OR 2 cups of Milk and 2 packets of hot chocolate)

2 tablespoons of Vanilla Castile Soap, or plain  (love Dr. Bronners for bubbles!)

2 tablespoons of honey

Add to a jar, and mix together.  Makes one bath treatment.  Start bath, add ingredients, and indulge!  and don’t forget to take your mug of hot cocoa with you!

Revolution Organics Review and Giveaway

revolution-blkRevolution Organics, a 1 year old USDA Certified Organic skin/body line fresh out of Canada is a new favorite of mine.  Especially their “Glow”.

“We really wanted to make our products look chic while still maintaining the highest level of organic integrity” says Co-Founder, Melissa Shabinsky. All plastic containers are recyclable and the packaging is made from post consumer recycled content.  The other founder is Alexandra Zanella.  Since their launch, Revolution has been featured in countless magazines and labeled as a new fave by many celebrities!

All Revolution Organics products are created without chemicals, sulfates, artificial ingredients, synthetics, parabens and animal testing.

The two founders describe how and why Revolution Organics was started:

We created Revolution Organics out of our own personal desire to simplify our lives and to make healthy, responsible lifestyle choices, beauty products included. We wanted luxurious, beautifully formulated, healthy multi-purpose beauty products that could do more so we could use less.

As beauty industry veterans and consumers ourselves, we were concerned and confused by product labels making natural & organic claims. After much research it became obvious that the certified organic USDA seal best represented the authenticity of organics and our Brand. Our vision translated into a collection of healthy, pure, certified organic products that filled our beauty void … we hope it fills yours.

I was sent the entire line of Revolution Organics to review.  Now I could have reviewed every last piece, but I stopped myself from being stingy.  Even though it was hard, this line is pretty spectacular.

Revolution Organics Glow Beauty Balm

My first love affair is with the Freedom GLOW Beauty Balm.  This is an amazing multi-tasker.  Use as a lip, cheek and eye color.  Perfect for all skin types, except for extremely oily skins. 100% natural and created with 85% certified organic ingredients, this convenient stick delivers an instant healthy glow anytime, anywhere.  Perfectly portable and ideal for on the go, the easy-to-use formula provides skincare and color in one for a hydrating hint of tint. Formulated with cold-pressed organic olive oil and deeply moisturizing organic coconut oil, The All-Over Beauty Balm comes in three glowing shades to complement any skin tone.

Just check the gorgeous colors out.

Revolution Organics Glow Beauty Balm colorI have been using the Bronze constantly, but I really want to try the Blushed too!  I think that is a great and fashionable color for this fall.

I have also been using the heck out of my new Freedom Lip Gloss.  Check out these vibrant shades:

Revolution organics Lip Gloss SwatchI have been using Freedom and Golden Rose.  Freedom is definitely the color for nights out, and feeling really girly and chic, and Golden Rose is a beautiful every day color.  These glosses have no plastic taste, they are not sticky at all, and last a lot longer, with more color pigment then the typical gloss.  Plus it adds a great moisturizing barrier to protect against the new cold winds swirling about outside.

revolution organics all over body balm

When Revolution Organics first launched, they only offered 3 products.  The All Over Body Balm, the All Over Skin Creme, and the Lip Balm.  The only one of these I tried is the All Over Body Balm.  So convient!  Take it with you for lip conditioning, plus as a hand cream, elbows,whatever in the world you want!  I found it great at catching my fly aways, and taming frizz, plus it is great for the area around my nose that always seems to get flaky and dry.  The uses just don’t stop! They boast 22+ uses, and I believe them!

This portable all-over certified organic solid moisturizing balm instantly softens and smoothes skin. Enriched with organic butters and nourishing organic oils rich in vitamins A, B,C and E.

So am I going to share?  Of course!  I have a giveaway planned for you readers.  One of you will walk away with this huge pot of Revolution gold!
