3 Reasons You Should Consider Shea Butter

By Nicole Pyles
Skin Care

I do enjoy finding natural items that I can use for beauty products. Vaseline and coconut oil really work well for my skin and I tend to avoid using products with hefty ingredients lists. Lately I've started to learn a bit more about shea butter which isn't something I've considered in the past!

1) It's incredibly moisturizing.

It gets into the deep layers of your skin and stops any kind of moisture loss. It's also nicely absorbed too - not greasy like a lot of other skin care products.

2) Anti-inflammatory

Actually there was a study in 2010  by the "Journal of Oleo Science" done recently that says shea butter reduces inflammation! It also has been known to be really healing as well.

3) Anti-aging.

Shea butter has a lot of antioxidants that replenish your skin. These vitamins are what fights the impact of aging on your skin.

4) Bonus reason! You can use it on your hair.

I've heard of using moisturizing products for your hair but recently I learned that shea butter can be so good for your hair. It reduces scalp itch and can repair damage on your hair. It also can soften your hair as well.

Obviously this scratches the surface on the major benefits of shea butter. Have you used this on your skin or hair or as a beauty product? I'd love to know what you think?

You'll Love the Hoboken Farms Pasta Sauce: Review & Giveaway

  I am such a huge fan of pasta! Anytime that is the main course, I'm a happy lady. However, making my own pasta sauce has never really been my thing. I know there are recipes out there. The truth is, though, there are also so many awesome jar sauces that I don't find a need to make my own. Recently, I had the chance to try out the Hoboken Farms pasta sauce. And wow! It's such a good experience. I can't wait to tell you about it. First of all, it has some major plusses right out of the gate: It is NON-GMO. That's a major factor for me, because I don't want genetically modified ingredients in my spaghetti. It's also low sodium and gluten-free. And another major perk, it's vegan! So it already has a lot of factors that make me like it right away. I had the chance to try their Marinara and Basil Marinara. What I love about both of these jars are the ingredients. You won't find anything weird about it. The marinara has just whole tomatoes, olive oil, oni

  Does anyone else love nut butter as much as I do? It's such a healthy protein and great for breakfast or lunch, depending on how you like to enjoy yours.  Recently, I had the chance to try some by a brand called Nutty Novelties. I ended up choosing their simple blends, like Classic Peanut Butter, Pistachio Butter, Almond Butter, and Cashew Butter. I loved each jar and thought it was just simply delicious. However, they offer a ton of unique varieties that you don't want to miss out on. They have Honey Roasted Peanut Butter , Cinnamon Almond Butter , and  Dark Chocolate Almond Butter . That's only the beginning! They have a ton more jars, plus they're prices are really reasonable. Many of their jar's prices start at $4 a jar, making it a delicious and affordable price. The jars aren't very big but they go a long way because of how packed they are with flavor. What I really appreciate about this brand is that it's a small business and run by real people you
