ERBAVIVA

Before this, I’d only ever tried Erbaviva’s baby line (highly recommended, btw) and was really excited to test more of their line. Here’s what I’m currently using (and will also use into the colder months). Let me just say that these products are incredibly high-quality, surprisingly affordable and they really know their aromatherapy.  Plus, enter to win their Summer Skin Beauty Bundles!

Hand Cream I actually requested this because I’m such a huge fan of hand cream and get so many emails asking me for recommendations, especially in the Winter.  I like to carry my hand cream around with me and use it before bed, too.  This one?  Perfection.  It’s so light, yet moisturizing and it smells so good. I’m not the kind of person who is into greasy hand creams, nor do I like ones that never seem to absorb. This is what I like to call “the busy person’s hand cream,” as you can get right back to work after using it…a big plus, don’t you agree?  This is also SO easy to carry around in your bag…big plus for me. $17

Relax Body Oil  I’ve probably got a new favorite in the body oil department here. I mean, this body oil is pretty much everything you’d want. Not only is the scent UNREAL, but it is thee perfect consistency for a body oil, too. It’s so luxe and it absorbs so fast, I’m shocked that I’ve been using this at the beach house and not having that, “I don’t want to use a body oil because it’s too hot outside.” It’s wonderful. The scent is of Lavender, Rose and Neroli (I know, right?). You can also use this in the bath, as well. It leaves my skin looking so smooth and moisturized.  Plus, it’s so affordable at $18.

Organic Sunscreen SPF 30  This sunscreen can be used on adults, children, on the face and the body…all around easy, right?  The ingredients in this sunscreen are what make it truly a knockout.  Erbaviva uses the naturally occurring mineral, zinc oxide together with aloe, sunflower, olive and jojoba oils and infuse them with organic essential oils of chamomile and lavender, making it thee most gorgeous-smelling (and effective) sunscreen.  I found this sunscreen to be a bit on the thicker side, which I love when you are applying on kids or planning on being in the water for a while (water-resistant for up to 80 minutes).  I find that the thinner consistencies just don’t hold up in the water.  This organic sunscreen provides both UVA and UVB full spectrum protection and is easy to carry, too.  $23

Buzz Spray  Nothing slays me more than watching people put toxic sunscreens and bug sprays on their children.  Conventional ones are toxic.  So, let’s get smarter.  This Buzz Spray is 10X more effective than the conventional ones and is infused with lemon eucalyptus, cedarwood, citronella and lemongrass, giving it a citrus/woodsy scent.  How does it work?  With a blend of organic and biodynamic essential oils…now doesn’t that sound better than N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (Deet)?  At first, skeptics, I later had everyone grabbing for this bottle on the porch and no one complaining about the bug bites we were getting just prior.  USDA Certified Organic. $21

Baby Lip and Cheek Balm  Yes, I know this is for babies and my friends have and love it for their twins, but I must say, carrying this in my handbag and using it on my dry skin, cuticles and hands has been a dream dee-vine!  Like all Erbaviva products, it’s hard for me to describe how wonderful this smells and how I’m kinda addicted to it.  I’m just hoping there’s some left for winter, to be honest.  I’m a big fan of chamomile/lavender, so this just does it for me.  With shea butter, sunflower seed oil, beeswax, jojoba, calendula and rosemary this balm is pure and a must…not just for wee babies.  $13

Relax Spray  I’m sick of repeating myself, but gosh golly, these guys know their scents.  I have this on my desk and find myself spraying it into my fan to make my entire apartment smell fresh and pretty.  So pure, you can also use this as a body , hair or clothing spray, too.  If you’re a lavender, neroli and rose fan, you should be in scent heaven.   My super was making a surprise visit into my apartment and I had just made myself lunch so, I quickly sprayed some around and he kept going on how it was the best-smelling apartment he’d ever been in…hee, hee!   $20
