Delivery from MountainRoseHerbs!

Ooh I'm so very excited. I just recently got in a nice big order of MountainRoseHerbs products to start incorporating into my natural care routines. There was so much on that site I wanted, I could probably have spent a thousand dollars... but I kept myself under $200. Here's what I got for my money!

• Meadowfoam Seed Oil
• Rosehip Seed Oil
• Bentonite Clay
• Tamanu Oil
• Vitamin E Oil
• Lavender Essential Oil
• Sea Buckthorn Oil
• Lemongrass Essential Oil
• Carrot Seed Oil

I'm experimenting with these products now, and I'll be posting what I do with them as I stumble across successes!

For this post at least, I can tell you that my guy and I have used Tamanu oil before. I find that it is very mousturizing, and I like incorporating a small amount of it into my OCM. He prefers to spread it, undiluted, all over his face after shaving, and then let it soak in a couple minutes before wiping it off. He says it really keeps his skin from getting irritated, helps combat stray pimples, and just keeps his face happy overall.

Now, I always hear explicit warnings about the smell of Tamanu oil. Really though, I don't see what the big fuss is about. It does have a distinct smell, but it isn't anything bad in my opinion. It's the smell of natural beauty!





See how beautiful it really is? I just love looking at the plants whose oil we use to better our lives. They could easily be just ornamental, but instead are functional as well. Amazing!

So wish me luck on my new oil journey! Do any of you have a favourite, less-common oil similar to these? I'd love to hear about them!
