Never been Boo'd? Here's how it works! Simply leave a small package of treats on a friend/neighbors/family members porch with our "You've been Boo'd" sign and instructions on how to keep the fun going (You can find the printable copy below). Then ring the doorbell and run! They will open the door to see their treats but won't have any idea who boo'd them! It's one of my kids favorite new holiday traditions. We love going to houses in our neighborhood or their friends homes and leaving little goodies on their doorstep! It's a great way to spread some Halloween fun in your neighborhood or among your family and friends! The idea is, whoever you Boo! will share the love and Boo! two more homes so your Boo! could turn into a hundred Boos! :) 

This year we thought we would personalize it a little bit by creating my own “You’ve Been Boo'd” printable! We thought it would be a fun way to track just how far our first Boo! reaches. We hope to see our Boo! sign in your windows this Halloween!

Forget-Me-Not

When I was a young girl, my favorite memory was watching my mom work in the garden. It brought me comfort to see her quietly working with the warm earth to create a satisfying bounty of flowers and vegetables in the family garden. When I was 20, I wanted to start my own garden. My mom and I spent hours planning how my garden would be laid out as she thought back to how her garden was laid out when I was little.

Our connection to the earth is carved out by the people who mentor us in our lives. They teach us the value in what the earth is able to provide us, and the mutual respect that must be given back to the earth from us.

I wanted to think of something special for all of you this Earth Day. 20 years ago I lost my mother in May….the year we planned for my garden. It was very hard for me to understand. I continued on with the garden, as I knew she would want me to. One day, when I was working, I was greeted by the tiniest, cheeriest little blue flowers. Forget-me-nots. I couldn’t help but think it was my mom, letting me know she was there by my side, helping me in the garden.
This year, with the Covid-19 Crisis, there are so many things I want to make sure I don’t forget. How I’m feeling, my loved ones, and all God’s gifts we are blessed with everyday. I want you to have an opportunity to plant some forget-me-knots that will return every spring to remind you of what you don’t want to forget. Maybe it will be the start of a new tradition with your child or grandchild. Maybe it will be in memory of someone or something. The flowers are yours to decide what tradition they will hold.

I’d like to take a special moment to thank Adam’s mom Sandy, my special “Earthly” mother, for also teaching me so much about the earth through farming and gardening. Adams’s Forget-me-knots came from my Mama’s garden. We are all interconnected with each other and with the earth, with past and future generations, so much more than we sometimes stop to think about. May this Earth Day be one you never forget. XOXO, Caitlin

1. Avoid Silicone and Alcohols in Your Shampoo and Conditioner

Not only are those ingredients incredibly unnecessary, they can really cause some damage to your hair. Even worse, if your hair is already dry, damaged or color treated, these ingredients can cause split heads and breakage. For salon-quality hair go for our Shampoo loaded with hair nourishing ingredients such as Horse Chestnut Seed Extract and Milk Protein. These natural ingredients and other deep conditioning ingredients like panthenol, a provitamin of B5, can help tame and beautify your tresses. After shampooing, go for our Conditioner to add shine and help add softness.

2. Don’t Shampoo Every Day

This may sound disgusting to those who love to lather up, but do your hair a favor and skip a day or two during the week. Your hair actually needs a break from shampoo to help allow the natural oils to protect the shaft. If your hair tends to be oily, go for our Dry Shampoo in between regular washes. A little goes a long way for helping your hair look its best. 

3. Avoid Brushing Your Hair When it’s Wet

Hair is particularly fragile when it is wet, so use your fingers or a wide-toothed comb when you first get out of the shower. Towel dry and use Leave-In Conditioning Detangler to help remove tangles and add softness. It’s perfect for all hair types, including curly.

4. Use Heating Tools Sparingly

If you live in a warm climate, air drying can be easy. But the winter months can be long for those of us who rely on the hairdryer to get out the door in the morning. Unfortunately heat is the enemy and can really damage hair. If you must use heating tools like hairdryers, flat irons and curling rods, be sure to pre-treat your hair with our Smoothing Hair Crème. The silk protein in this hair creme penetrates your hair and improves its elasticity, aiding against breakage. This treatment also helps to create a barrier to protect your hair from the damages that are caused by heat and the elements.

5. Use a Hot Oil Treatment Every Week

Every week your hair needs an extra deep conditioning treatment to help maintain its shine, touchable softness, and health. Our Hot Oil Treatment is easy to apply and packs a big punch when it comes to beautiful hair. The all nature ingredients in this treatment include wheat protein to coat the hair shaft, soy protein to increase shine, and panthenol to assist in keeping hair shafts moisturized. Emu Oil is also added to help prevent split ends. You can simply use in the shower, or for an extra deep treatment apply just before bed and leave in all night for a super intense hydrating session.

1. Choose a Cleanser that Works for Your Skin Type 

All too often, women choose harsh, damaging cleansers in hopes that their blemished skin will clear faster. Unfortunately, the chemicals in many cleansers found in the drug store aisle only make things worse. For clear, glowing skin try a gentle cleanser as appropriate for all skin types. This is important as your skin may change from season to season – oilier in the summer, drier in the winter, but your cleansing regimen can stay consistent. You’ll love the Shea Butter Face & Body Wash. This all-in-one-cleanser works on face and body. 

2. Stay Hydrated in All the Right Ways 

Who doesn’t enjoy a fresh cup of coffee first thing in the morning? It’s tempting, but try starting with a tall glass of water. It will help you wake up, as well as hydrate and brighten skin. Green juices and smoothies are a great way to get the nutrients and antioxidants your body needs for glowing skin while also ensuring that you feel great! Be sure to limit caffeine and drink water throughout the day for the healthiest looking skin possible.

3. Moisturize Every Morning and Night

Whether you have oily or dry skin, moisturizing daily is an absolute must – at least twice. Avoid creams with heavy perfumes and find a moisturizer that offers zero irritation and that is gentle enough for everyday use such as our Super Vitamin E lotion.

4. Limit the Number of Products You Use 

Packing on the products can really wreak havoc on your skin. Besides causing breakouts and clogging pores, it can lead to infection and premature aging. Choose a maximum of four products for your skin. A good regimen includes Anti-Aging Face Serum combined with your favorite SPF, your favorite foundation or cover-up, and a highlighter, bronzer or blush cream. That’s all you need for a healthy and clean look. And remember, clean your makeup brushes regularly and your face every single night before going to bed.

5. Use Sunscreen Every Day of the Year – Rain or Shine

If you live in Miami or Seattle, London or Barcelona, using sunscreen every day is an absolute must. Protecting your skin is important even when doing things like running quick errands or driving a car. Eliminating daily UV exposure can significantly reduce signs of aging. You can add your favorite SPF to any of our moisturizers for a clean and smooth application. We suggest Rice Bran Face Moisturizer. If you work out, swim, or get sweaty, be sure to apply a few times throughout the day.

6. Get Your Beauty Sleep

Sure, it may sound like a cliché, but it’s said for a reason. Be sure to get between 7-8 hours of sleep a night so your skin has time to rejuvenate and refresh. Opt for a satin pillowcase for a great way to help fight wrinkles and spray it with our Room & Linen Spray to fall asleep to fresh and mood-lifting aromas.

These are just a few top tips to implement into your daily regimen to keep your skin looking great and feeling healthy. We offer a variety of moisturizers and cleansers in addition to the ones mentioned here, so be sure to browse around and check out all of them! 

Eliminate Your Pores

Perhaps you’ve noticed, one of the best things about filters is that they make pores magically disappear. Although your pore size never actually change in real life, things like sweat, makeup and extra dirt can make them appear much larger. To help mask pores, opt for our Rose Ubtan Mask, our Dead Sea Mud Mask, or our Rhassoul Clay Mask. They all help to gently draw out impurities and other gunk to help leave your skin soft, smooth, and completely clear. You’ll notice the benefits immediately so you can go for that extra selfie right away.

Hydrate Your Skin

There’s nothing worse than dry, flakey skin in a photo. Filters add a glow that seems nearly impossible without the use of technology. But, even a great filter has nothing on our moisturizers like our Whipped Olive Lotion and our Whipped Macadamia Nut Lotion. They are loaded with the purifying natural oils and hydration your skin needs for a healthy, dewy glow.

Say Goodbye to Wrinkles

Filters do an amazing job of making us look 10 years younger. Luckily, our Anti-Aging/Moisturizing Face Serum and our Tropical Eye Cream can help fight age too by giving your skin an extra boost of Vitamin E to help fight aging. After just a few uses you’re sure to notice a difference.

Pick the Perfect Lip Color

A good lip color can brighten your whole face and make your photos look even better. Don’t forget about your lips before you snap that next selfie. Prime your lips with our Lip Scrub to gently exfoliate and remove dead skin cells. Then opt for our classic Merlot lipstick that compliments any skin color.

Don’t Forget Your Locks

Once your skin looks fantastic, you’ll want to make sure your hair is equally perfect. Forget the filters - shiny, healthy hair is all it takes to make your selfies look even better. Our Hot Oil Hair Treatment once a week will ensure your hair stays healthy and hydrated. Our Emu Shampoo and gentle Conditioner are just the thing for soft, shiny hair. You’ll notice how healthy your hair looks and feels from the inside out. To keep frizz and flyaways from ruining the shot, use our Emu Hair Balm.

Get the Right Light and Angle

If you’re one to take your selfies seriously (and if you’re reading this there’s no doubt you are!), don’t forget to check that you’re taking your pictures in the right light and at the right angle. Taking a photo from above can help your face look slender, while facing the light can help illuminate your face. If it’s below, it may cast unpleasant shadows.

Use these tips and treatments for your future selfies and you’ll wonder why you ever used a filter in the first place. Forget the filters, nothing compares to your natural beauty and radiant skin. Go ahead and show it off! 

1. Avoid the Sun

There really is no such thing as a “healthy tan” no matter how good you think you look with one. The sun does more damage to your skin than you may even be able to see on the surface. Don’t risk it and be sure to lather up with sunscreen every time you head outside. Even in the winter, don’t skimp on the SPF. Pick your favorite sunscreen and add it to any of our hydrating moisturizers like our Whipped Macadamia Nut Lotion, our Whipped Olive Lotion, or our Whipped Rice Bran Lotion, for sweet-smelling protection. 

2. Gently Exfoliate

Too often those who want clear skin think they have to harshly clear out dead skin cells. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Instead, opt for gentle exfoliation with our Microdermabrasion Face Wash to refresh and polish your skin. Ours is made with pumice stone and Shea butter so it’s even gentle enough to use every day!

3. Invest in a Great Moisturizer

You don’t have to tell us twice! We absolutely love moisturizers and our many varieties keep you hydrated from head to toe. Our Beauty Cream made from Rose Hip Oil is high in Vitamin C to help repair elastins in the skin so it’s perfect to use as an everyday face moisturizer. Our body lotions like our Whipped Avocado Lotion is packed with essential nutrients your skin craves like vitamins A, B1, B2, B5, vitamin D, E, minerals, protein, lecithin and fatty acids to penetrate and nourish even the driest skin. 

4. Get Some Sleep

They don’t call it beauty rest for nuthin’! No matter how busy life gets, always try to sleep between 7 to 8 hours a night so your skin can reboot and refresh from the day. If you find yourself tossing and turning, try our Room and Linen Spray. Fragrances like lavender, baby powder, and bamboo lily give the feeling of fresh sheets to help you drift off to sleep faster. 

5. Don’t Over Wash Your Face

There is a common misconception that in order for skin to be brilliant and bright it needs to be frequently washed with harsh cleansers. While you shouldn’t skimp on cleansing (and definitely don’t forget to wash your face each night before you hit the hay), always opt for a gentle cleanser like Gentle Castile Wash. Though this is a thick gel, it is one of the mildest formulas available. It’s perfect for all skin types including sensitive and mature skin. 

6. Use a Natural Anti-aging Solution

Anti-aging doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, we make it easy with our Emu Oil. Our 100% pure Emu Oil is a fantastic anti-aging option because it delivers fatty acids to the outer layers of your skin to help your skin stay smooth and hydrated no matter what the season. 

Flawless skin shouldn’t just be reserved for celebrities and those with amazing genetics. With the above dermatologist-tested tips, it’s possible for everyone to look their best and have healthy, glowing skin day after day, year after year. 

Shampoo Less Often

It’s not as gross as it sounds. When the scalp gets flakey it can cause itching and smother hair growth. Lightening up on your washes can help with sever scalp issues and ensure that your hair doesn’t get overly dry. When you do shampoo, make sure you get the most of each cleanse by using our Emu Shampoo. Highly moisturizing, this shampoo will hydrate the scalp while repairing your hair from the inside out. If you need to freshen up your hair in between washes, our Dry Shampoo can help manage oily roots. 

Switch to an Extra Moisturizing Conditioner

Freezing temperatures mixed with blasts of dry air don’t do any favors for your hair – no matter what your hair type. The best way to stop the unavoidable is with extra moisture. Our rich Conditioner is packed with healthy nutrients like wheat protein, panthenol (a provitamin of B5), and avocado oil to tackle winter hair head on.

Opt for Weekly Hydration Treatments

Because you can’t just wash and go, chances are these days you’re spending a lot more time blow drying your hair. Combine that with the drying effects of indoor air and breakage from hairbands and headbands when you’re at the gym or hitting the trails, and your locks will be screaming for some extra love. Try our Hot Oil Treatment that includes wheat protein to coat the hair shaft, soy protein to increase shine, and panthenol to assist in keeping hair shafts moisturized. We’ve even added Emu oil to help prevent split ends.

Use Leave-in Conditioner to Combat Static

Sure, you could keep a dryer sheet in your purse to rub across your hair to handle the static. That is, if you don’t mind smelling like a load of laundry. But if you want to tackle static while adding extra hydration to your hair, then use our Leave-In Conditioning Detangler. Your hair will be soft, smooth, while being free of static and tangles.

Don’t Go Crazy on the Products

Some styling gels and sprays can suck the moisture right out of your tresses. When you want a gentle style that not only lightly holds but leaves your tresses soft and luxurious, look no further than our Hair Crème. Great for wet or dry hair, just add a dollop and go!

Cut Down on Heat-Styling

While time is of the essence, it’s important that you dry your hair thoroughly before going outside with wet hair. Not only is it a good idea to avoid getting sick, but when your hair is wet, the cold air will cause the hair shaft to expand, putting you at risk for damage and causing your color to fade. So while you may not have a choice when it comes to the blow dryer, you can cut down on heat-styling with more gentle styles like pony tails, buns and braids. Keep flyaways in place with our Emu Hair Balm. It’s safest for even the driest of hair.

The long cold days of winter don’t have to mean you can’t look your best. Simply put some of these winter hair prevention tips into place and your hair will be as hydrated and protected all the way until beach season!

Gentle Castile Wash

This extremely mild castile soap is perfect for those suffering from skin problems such as Eczema or Psoriasis because it is free of artificial colors and preservatives, un-fragranced and naturally gluten-free. Gentle enough for the face yet strong enough for the entire body and hair. Your skin will love this all-purpose, soothing cleanser.

Avocado Cleansing Oil

Another cleanser, this one uses the ancient art of Oil Cleansing to get the job done. The soothing avocado oil in this cleanser dissolves both facial oil and dirt, without stripping away the precious fatty layer that balances skin, leaving your skin clean and balanced. Naturally gluten-free and paraben-free, one use of this cleanser and you’ll be hooked!

Oatmeal and Yogurt Mask

When your skin needs a little extra TLC, look no further than the hydrating and soothing power of oatmeal. Even if your skin is extra-sensitive, you’ll enjoy the benefits of this mask that will leave your skin feeling completely rejuvenated.

Whipped Rice Bran Lotion

Sensitive skin calls for extra hydration. This whipped rice bran moisturizer is the answer. Whether your skin is delicate or mature, you can expect the natural Vitamin E to defend your skin against the elements, like pollution, wind, and the sun. This wonder lotion can also prevent wrinkles and help balance your skin.

Tropical Eye Cream

The area under your eyes requires extra care and conditioning. For that reason, we’ve put together an optimal blend of Coconut Oil and Cocoa Butter to care for and treat age lines around the eyes and mouth. We’ve also included oils from the Anti-Aging Face Serum along with Super Vitamin E to deliver even more benefits. This cream is very rich, so a little bit goes a long way.

With our array of natural and soothing products, we’ve taken the work out of skincare so you can look your best day in and day out – regardless of the season. Use one or mix and match to create the ultimate skincare regimen for you.
