Jamaica 2012


Vitacost Haul





I love Vitacost because they have almost everything you are looking for in one place and if you spend over $49 you get free shipping. So i buy from them time to time when i am running low on my everyday things from beauty items, to food you name it they have it.

Acure Facial Scrub

I wanted to try this scrub ever since i read a blog post over at Scentual Soundtracks.  I went looking in whole food but they did not have it, so i purchase it from vitacost back in November and have been testing it out. First this scrub has some amazing indigence it is gentle on the face but effective. After each use my skin is brighter, and smooth to the touch.

I use this scrub 2 to 3 times per week depending on how my face feels and look, a reminder that i do not use soap on my face i mostly use oils, my cleansing goo, clay, and my neroli aloe toner. So i treat my face like my hair if i feel like i need a little extra clean feeling i use this scrub.

Lavera Rose Deodorant

This is one of the few deodorant that works other than my sandalwood deodorant that i make and that can get a bit pricey, so i decided to pick this up and try it out at $17 for a deodorant i was a little on the should i really purchase this but at the end of the day it cost less than sandalwood EO.

It works people i have been using it now for over a month and i also took it on vacation with me in Jamaica in December and it held its own. Remember we are talking about natural deodorant so there is some giving and taking. I have used other natural deodorant and i start smelling before i leave the house or 3 hours in the day. This holds up 9-5 and sometimes longer depending on your activity.

The smell is roses and i love it.

MyChelle Cream Blush

I love cream makeup because it gives me a more natural look, like i just woke up looking fab. The color that i got is a deep wine purple color perfect for this time of the year, grown and sexy.

The product gives a matte stain effect on the skin and lips.

Chloe Perfume


I have not purchase perfume form any big companies in a long time, but this one Chloe perfume ( the one with the dusty pink ribbon around the bottle cap) we just have this thing going for each other, it cost a pretty penny and maybe that is why i have not purchase it as of yet. One you know i am all about the natural for goodness sake i make, use and sell my natural perfumes and i am well educated about the dangers of store bought perfumes.

Whenever i go to the swap shop i ask all the vendors how much this perfume cost and compare price but i never purchase, when i walk through Macys i stop, smell and spray some of Miss Chloe on me and it's just love, whenever i go into Sephora i do the same thing i am crazy about this perfume.

What say you? Have you ever been this conflicted over something you know is not good for you and you should walk away but you just cannot?

Salted Cod Fish Flitters


I am back,

Salted Cod Fish Flitters

What you will need

6 oz salted cod fish

1 cup spelt flour

1/2 cup water

1 large tomato, chopped

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 green onion, chopped

If you may

Scotch bonnet pepper

Thyme (i cannot cook without thyme)

Soak salt fish by giving it a hot water bath for five min then a cold water bath for five min, i do this 4 times and then i clean and break the salt fish apart. If it’s still too salty pour some hot water and let sit for 5 min.

Add all of the above together and mix

Heat oil and then scoop up a tablespoon full of batter and place in oil and fry for 5 min on each side, and then place on paper towel to drain out the excess oil.
