Happy New Year!

This is it. 2010 is almost fineto. The holidays came and went, stores are already stacking the isles with Valentine’s Day goodies, and before you know it, we will all be dreading that most joyous time of the year: Bathing.Suit.Season.

As your organic beauty voice of reason, I want to take a moment to reflect on some of the natural, organic products I introduced to you this past year. Products that made a statement in the world of chemically composed beauty, which is often a difficult task. If you still have yet to try these natural beauties, make it a part of your New Year’s Resolution to do so. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

What I loved in 2010:

Homemade Goodies: http://www.beautystat.com/site/body/three-homemade-goodies-organic-products-we-love-ones-we-dont/

We can all agree that 2010 was an economic challenge. However, beauty does not have to suffer when the ropes are tight! I showed you some fabulous products you can enjoy with the help of ingredients you already have in the kitchen! Like the homemade body scrub with brown sugar and honey. It will cost you every bit of $5 (and that’s pushing it) and you will have a dependable, environmentally friendly body scrub. Close out the year in healthy, glowing skin with this super easy sugar scrub. After all, smooth skin is year round.

Reserveage Organics: http://www.beautystat.com/site/skincare/eat-drink-and-take-these-organic-pills-reservage-organics/

Eating right, working out, and shopping organically. All the steps to a healthier, happier you. Yet sometimes, Father Time has a way of working around all that and still catching up to us. Help slow him down with Reserveage Organics. This vegan, veggie pill is a great addition to your daily vitamin routine as it is safe, healthy, and effective. Trans- Resveratrol, the main component found in this line, is the natural goodness composed in the skin, seeds and stems of red wine grapes. It has the power to activate Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), or the longevity gene. Looking younger in 2011…count me in!

Amala Beauty and Aubrey Organics: http://www.beautystat.com/site/skincare/around-the-world-in-organic-beauty-part-2-amala-beauty-and-aubrey-organics/

Two different companies, two different products, both yielding natural beauty. Amala means “most pure” in Sanskrit. Need I say more? The line is environmentally friendly from the packaging of each item all the way to the core of its ingredients. I’m a huge fan of the Purifying and Hydrating lines, but don’t just take my word for it. Experience the bliss of this brand yourself. And don’t forget your gorgeous locks. Take care of those tresses with hair care from Aubrey Organics. I cannot lie: one time I had just touched up my hair with the NuStyle Organic Hairspray, and a friend of mine told me, “You smell like an angel!” Organic products that work and make my hair smell good? More please!

RE9 Advanced: http://www.beautystat.com/site/skincare/travel-companions-putting-arbonnes-re9-to-the-test/

You never know where life is going to take you, and RE9 Advanced by Arbonne was the must have on that journey. Although it’s not organic, it is made with some “pure, safe and beneficial” ingredients. Halt the signs of aging, topically, with products like Regenerating Toner, Restorative Day Crème, and Firming Body Cream. The products actually work and do not irritate the skin. A time traveler’s dream.

Dentisse Toothpaste: http://www.beautystat.com/site/makeup/dentisse-toothpaste-sex-up-your-smile/

Clean, white teeth. I am not sure if there is anyone who doesn’t want that. Enter Dentisse. Finally, a natural solution that lacks the chemicals of ordinary whitening toothpastes and packs the full punch of natural mint toothpaste. Composed of natural white kaolin clay, this paste polishes and deep cleans to reveal a healthy, sparkly smile. And long lasting fresh breath, too. Hello, New Year’s Eve kiss!

Happy New Year, dolls. Looking forward to sharing more organic, natural goodness with you in 2011!  Sweet Dreams!
