Laughing Loon Lotion Bars

Luckily, our fridge is chock full of farm fresh produce from our weekly CSA share because the pickings were pretty slim at the Provo Farmers Market today. It's early in the growing season, so maybe there's still hope for finding real food in upcoming weeks. 

We did enjoy getting out, bumping into old friends and chatting with some of the local vendors. At our new favorite booth, Laughing Loon Beauty, the girls and I each chose travel size lotion bars to carry in our purses. Since ditching the chemicals in most store bought lotions, we moisturize our skin with coconut oil, but as anyone who uses it knows, coconut oil doesn't travel well, especially in the summer months.

Laughing Loon lotion bars are made of natural ingredients, including beeswax, coconut oil, shea butter and essential oils. They are solid, completely portable and best of all, they aren't packaged in plastic! The word on the street is that they also tame fly-away or frizzy hair...yes!! 


I chose the coconut lemongrass scent, but they all smelled so completely amazing that it was hard to pick just one. If you can't make it to the market, you can buy Laughing Loon Beauty's handmade products on Etsy too. Enjoy!

Stinky Pit Tips For Natural Women


I just found another awesome use for my favorite coconut oil! (I just can't get enough of that stuff, ♥ it!) If you're tired of rolling toxins and aluminum under your arms every morning, you will love this recipe for homemade natural deodorant and it won't leave you smelling like a dirty hippie, I promise. This stuff really works!

p.s.
This deodorant isn't just for the ladies! My hard-working husband loves it as much as I do and he's a recovering Axe addict. Phew, I hated that eye-watering, head-burning aerosol crap!
