Shea Terra Organics
Back in 2012 I ordered the Shea Terra Mamas Gold Stretchmark oil & shea butter. Flash forward to 2014 & the owner (Tammie) of Shea Terra contacted me thru LinkedIn! Crazy right? I was so excited & I told her how much I loved her products & how they helped me so much throughout my pregnancy.
Below are some new products that I’ve received from Shea Terra & I wanted to share them with you  🙂
Rose Hips Black Soap Deep Pore Facial Wash
The first thing I want to talk about is the Rose Hips Black Soap Deep Pore Facial Wash. It’s like a mini light peel for your skin, makes your skin tingle. I love how it made my skin feel so soft & moisturized, I am very pleased with this product.
Ingredients:
spring water, Yoruban black soap (cocoa pod ash, plaintain peel ash, palm kernels, camwood bark), certified organic sunflower oil, certified organic coconut oil, potassium hydroxide (electrocuted salts- what makes oil into soap), certified organic rose hips oil, Kalahari mineral salts
Rwandan Maracuja Oil (cold pressed)
The next product Tammie sent me is called Maracuja oil. I’ve never heard of this oil & I’ve been missing out big time ( this stuff is better than argan oil). Maracuja oil contains higher amounts of antioxidants than argan oil & it has a high content of essential fatty acid which will do wonders for your skin. I’ve been using it every night on my face & I’m going to start using it on my scalp because I need all the moisture I can get.
Ingredients:Â
100% pure maracuja oil
Some Benefits of African Black Soap & Maracuja Oil Are :
Improves skin tone
Evens out skin tone
Reduces Inflammation
Has deep cleansing action
Helps heal acne
Exfoliates Skin
High in antioxidants
Makes your skin radiant
I’ve been a long-time customer & I hope you can visit her website soon !

The Body Shop
 My husband & I are obsessed with the coconut body butter. It leaves our skin so soft, it’s non-greasy, & it absorbs into the skin so quickly.
On Black Friday I decided to order the peach body butter & I like it 🙂 The scent is very light & not overbearing. Would I re-order the peach body butter? No, I’ll stick to my coconut scent.
I also ordered the Hemp Hand Protector. I squirted out a dime size into my hands and then it hit me …… the smell was disgusting. Although it did make my hands feel really moisturized, I would never use this again. I wish they made an unscented version.

How you doin….
Neck Neglect
The skin on the neck is an extension of the face so using products on this area is very important. After all, who wants to have smooth skin on their face and a dry, saggy neck? The neck area does not have fatty tissues, making the skin less elastic. As a result, the skin in this delicate zone can become far more wrinkled.
Most women know to apply moisturizer daily and nightly to the neck and many do. A woman will typically rub moisturizer onto her face and then whatever is left over on to the neck. But I say slather on the moisture to your neck, treat your neck the same way you treat your face you will see a huge difference.
Also sunscreen is considered to be the best anti-aging product in the world, since the #1 cause of premature skin aging is UV rays given off from the sun. Sunscreen needs to be applied generously in order to offer full sun protection.
Extend your daily exfoliant, whether it’s with a cleansing brush or a glycolic acid, all the way down to the top of your chest. Sloughing away the dead-skin layer allows active ingredients to absorb faster.
Whatever you do to your face also do to your neck & chest
