Welcome to Gaia! ::

Recently, I have transitioned to using only natural or organic products for my body.
I use an organic shampoo and conditioner.
I mix the conditioner with water for a leave-in.
I use essential oils in my hair, mainly lavender for a nice scent, but I'm looking to invest in some coconut oil.
My soap is natural, and I use homemade concoctions to clean my face.
I use organic extra-virgin olive oil as a moisturizer.
I also use natural toothpaste and deodorant!

Guys, I can honestly and genuinely say I have never felt so good before.
My skin looks amazing, my hair has grown so much and is so healthy, and on top of that I'm saving tons of money -- even though they're natural/organic products, they don't have to be the expensive kind!
My shampoo and conditioner are like 2 bucks each and last forever~

Anyway, what do you guys think of this?
Have you ever tried it? Willing to try it? Don't give two shits?


EDIT: I have yet to use natural makeup, because a lot of the stuff here is so expensive!
If I find some cheap stuff, I will totally go for it. 8D

like i said before, i use coconut oil in my hair. it's great as leave-in in the morning or deep conditioning over night or regular conditioning in the shower -- you can use it however you please. i use it when i get out of the shower to prevent frizz-- it really works. the science behind it is pretty impressive; apparently it like penetrates your hair and rebuilds damaged parts and helps keep your hair strong and shiny while also promoting growth. and also, you smell like coconuts :) yumz. and if you don't end up liking it in your hair, you can put it in your food! yop.

what's your shampoo/conditioner brand? i keep looking around for nice shampoo but i can't find anything good :S

edit:
it's not really like a body product, but i've started to buy more clothes that are made of natural/organic fabric, like cotton and hemp. it's not healthier or anything, but it makes me feel better about what i'm wearing.

I support everything on that list except for organic toothpaste. I tried that at my aunt's house once and that s**t is foul. It made my mouth feel dirtier than before I brushed. D:

1. mmm, coconut oil~
2. when I used a tea tree oil shampoo/conditioner my hair was dry like crazy. .-.

I used to use, and try to get a few when I can afford, natural homemade soaps from local shops. I like lush also. I use jojoba on my face as a moisturizer.

I've gone from washing my hair daily to doing it maybe three times a week, while still showering all seven- so I still need my moisturizer. I just tried this great basil-something lotion at a shop today that I'd like to buy. It smelled so nice and even lasted through washing my hands once! I wish I could remember what it was called.

Olive oil works well as a water proof lube as well. The ancients have used it for...ever.

I don't use organic toothpaste because of my dental issues and I have a prescription toothpaste instead.

I used to get mineral make up from a gal who started on ebay but has her own store. My before and after pics are on there somewhere, but it's southern magnolia minerals. I just ended up buying estee lauder when I was in a rush one day and it felt heavenly...given it's not time to replace it so I may just go back to SMM because she's way cheaper and uses more natural stuff in her product.

Tea tree oil is wonderful to keep around the house as well. Use it in hair/bath, use it for laundry if someone is sick. It's a great little antiseptic. I actually used to make my own laundry detergent, but when I bought an HE washer it would have messed it up so I buy now.

i actually don't use a lot of organic stuff, but i always always always buy s**t from lush. soaps, bath bombs, bath melts, hair treatments, face masks, you name it, i've tried it. loooove lush~

i use argon oil for my hair.
