Review It Girl

     Hello! We are back in the U.S.A. and boy, do I have a lot to say about our amazing  honeymoon!     Before I get all the way into my rant, I just wanted to stay transparent and let you know that any links in today's post relating to G Adventures will be an affiliate link. Each time the link is used, I earn a bit for my investment account. No pressure to use these links of course, feel free to look up the site outside of my links if you prefer! Just wanted to be open and honest before we get started.      We decided to book through a group travel service because we didn't want to rough a new country alone, and after much research, we decided on G Adventures . We were not disappointed. This trip was everything we wanted and more!     First off, booking through the site was a dream. We were lucky and checked out all the trips we could go on during a sale!  Apparently, they have several of these per year, so if you like a speci...

    Hi all!     As you've probably seen from a few of my posts, a big goal is to stay a bit more eco-friendly in this consumerized world. I wouldn't say I'm a minimalist or simple living, but I do try to be thoughtful with my purchases and only buy items I feel I realistically need and will definitely reuse. If I can't reuse something, I want it to be biodegradable if I can find it in that form.     Here are two switches I made this year and why I love them...      Disclaimer : All Amazon products linked in this blog post are affiliate links.  You can also make a purchase without using the affiliate link, but using it helps me tremendously, so thank you!   Image Source      These reusable produce bags are crafted from 100% organic cotton mesh , offering a sustainable alternative to single‑use plastic bags.

      Hi all!     As you've probably seen from a few of my posts, a big goal is to stay a bit more eco-friendly in this consumerized world. I wouldn't say I'm a minimalist or simple living, but I do try to be thoughtful with my purchases and only buy items I feel I realistically need and will definitely reuse.      I have been switching out many of my plastic items for plastic-free, biodegradable, or eco-friendly options lately, and these are some of my favorites I wanted to share with you today!      Disclaimer , all Amazon products linked in this blog post are affiliate links.  You can also make a purchase without using the affiliate link, but using it helps me tremendously, so thank you!   Affiliate Link & Image Source     First , let's look at a tried-and-true classic that can even have  health benefits !

      I'm back again!     Today, I'm talking about some of my favorite reusable beauty items that I found in 2024 to keep me looking fresh, young, and feeling great!      Some of these are also my husband's favorites now, so that's a fun and exciting side effect. I'm happy to see that he's been trying to do more self-care and that these have helped him achieve that goal.       Disclaimer , all Amazon products linked in this blog post are affiliate links.  You can purchase without using the affiliate link as well, but using it helps me tremendously, so thank you!       Let's get into it!

He has much thicker, curlier hair than me, and he has noticed a huge difference in the amount of split, frizz, and hair breakage he has had in the past. ...

    Hi again, ya'll!        I've been aware and fascinated for years by the number of household, beauty, and other miscellaneous products that are  still   tested on animals .   I'm already setting one of the themes here for the blog, as I'm not okay with testing products on animals.       We have enough knowledge of chemicals, soaps, makeup, toothpaste, and detergents now that we don't need to test on animals.       Europe is already ahead of the U.S. with an  international ban  on cosmetic testing. That's definitely a step in the right direction.       Moving on, however, to this lovely, environmentally friendly, and cruelty-free laundry detergent.       Disclaimer , all Amazon products linked in this blog post are affiliate links.
