Hello Beauties! I am so excited to share a new skincare line I got to try for review.  Bloom Skincare  The ingredients are amazing. And I am trying this year to go more clean and green products for my skin.  So many chemicals in skincare and makeup that can effect your hormones and just not good for your skin. I am guilty for loving some global brands. But I don’t like that they test on animals and the chemicals are just outrageous that is in them. I mean some ingredients have over a hundred. Crazy. ( Click on any of the highlighted words and it will lead you to one of their sites. Instagram, Facebook or Amazon.) So lets talk about this brand.  I received 5 products. Almost the whole line. I did not get the body lotions because I am still testing for a panel at this time. But  they are cruelty free and honey is in their ingredients along with some beautiful essential oils. This is their  Facial Cleansing Mousse .  All the jars are plastic. Not...

Hello Beauties! I have a deep love for essential oils. They are my skincare life. I incorporate many for a double cleanse,masks and as treatments. I use different ones for how my skin is doing. More rosehip and almond with a splash of castor oil for my dry dry days.  I have tested and reviewed many many. I came across  Sunia K  on Instagram and was so impressed with all the follows and love for this product. I was amazed! I had to get me a bottle and test it out. I have to say it is worth every dime. And as we age we want our skin to look the up most best. Plant based and good fats is another way for great skin. YOu know I have to throw that it in. Diet is important.
