Nothing evokes summer memories quite like the scent of real coconut, which is why I'm absolutely in love with Pacifica Purify Coconut Water Cleansing Wipes. One whiff of these biodegradable towelettes infused with natural coconut water and you're instantly transported to the beach. With papaya, a natural exfoliant, in combination with aloe vera and soothing calendula, these wipes also gently cleanse skin and leave it feeling fresh and hydrated. I've made them a part of my daily routine, using them each night before bed to refresh and cleanse my skin - with beautiful results.

These wipes aren't the best at removing makeup and may cause a little tingling around the sensitive eye area but they're perfect for removing a little excess mascara or BB Cream from skin. I also love that they're sodium lauryl sulfate free, petroleum-free, and paraben-free (a good choice for this nursing, overly-cautious mama!). The colorful Pucci-esque packaging is just icing on the cake.

There's a new hair care line on the scene called Natural Essentials that incorporates ingredients used by traditional cultures around the world for modern-day, naturally beautiful hair. From beauty secrets used by Geishas to superfruit hydration solutions from Central America, Natural Essentials aims to harness the power of so-called unconventional ingredients to target all your hair needs.

Of course, this is nothing new - it seems like every other day, our fave beauty brands are touting the benefits of some new "super" fruit, flower or what have you found in nature, whether it's coconut oil or olives or açaí berries. The list goes on and on. But with summer here, I'm always on the look out for products that will tame my tresses in the most pleasant way possible, so I was eager to test out Natural Essentials Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner as well as their Strengthening Dry Oil and Healing Dry Oil. Whats more, the pricepoints are totally budget-friendly for what sound like premium products. So, here's how it went:

My hair has two main "seasons": Winter hat head and summer frizz! Yes, it's good to be my hair - a finicky crop of strands that tend to be neither curly nor straight nor wavy - but somewhere in between - for about 365 days out of the year. So when I heard about John Frieda's new Volume & Gloss Shine Shape hot air brush, I jumped at the opportunity to review one - and I snagged another one to give away to one lucky reader!
