It’s almost time! I’m very excited that I’ll be attending the Green Living show this weekend. Would you like me to VLOG? Please let me know in the comments! I’m very lucky to have received lovely PR samples of some amazing and incredible Organic products. I’ve decided to share these products with you because I really like them and recommend them. I will link the websites below so you can have a look.
I love all organic products especially if they are Canadian. I love to support my Canadian family. Yes we are one family and I feel we should support one another. I feel that we should always shop #MADEINCANADA first and foremost. Don’t you think?
I love natural, organic and made in Canada products that are good and safe for me and my family and here are some of my favourites:
Hotty Balms are by the lovely Bee23 Natural Company. I absolutely love the fun packaging. Super cute and very fun! The two right jars are face balms and are glass and the Honey Love Body Balm comes in a plastic jar. I love the formula of these balms! The Honey Love Body Balm is so beautiful, creamy and not greasy. It smells like bergamot and vanilla. It is really soothing and comforting. The formula is soft and solid and with the warmth of touch this lovely formula melts like butter and glides on the skin very softly and delicately. It really nourishes and softens the skin. I absolutely adore these balms and highly recommend you try them out. Especially the Honey Love! Very nice!
In creating scent blends with essential oils not only are they free of toxic chemicals but they are more fun because they work on thought and feeling. So, it is like your very own love potion! –BEE23
I love applying the Face Balm after having my shower or bath because it is really soothing, hydrating and really helps my skin feel soft, smooth and silky. The scent is natural and the formula feels very beautiful on the skin. I highly recommend Hotty Balm. 
Bee23 Natural Company is cruelty free, all natural, cert clean and made in Canada.

Next I have The Green Beaver Company. An incredible company that is Canadian and certified cruelty free, ecocert and zero plastic.
We believe that each of us has the opportunity to create a positive impact in this world, and for us that means creating products that do not harm animals, do not harm the earth, and do not harm you. Our philosophy comes from years of research about the harmful effects that chemicals have on our bodies and on the environment, driving us to infuse all-natural goodness into everything we do. It’s more than a philosophy. It’s a promise. -The Green Beaver Company
I absolutely love the Lavender shampoo and conditioner. It foams up nicely. The formula works amazing and it cleans the hair perfectly. It smells so wonderful! Like a field of lavender. I really love using products that make me feel great and safe. No harmful chemicals!
The Day Cream is truly wonderful! It absorbs really nicely and is not greasy. It has no strong fragrance only a natural lovely scent. It feels soft on the skin and makes my skin feel hydrated and very soft. I absolutely love the Day Cream and you should definitely check it out. It works beautifully and its great for all skin types. All natural goodness!
This FROSTY MINT is an all natural toothpaste that is very refreshing! It cleans nicely and leaves my mouth feeling fresh and minty. It really helps my breath stay fresh for a long time. I absolutely love it! No fluoride in this toothpaste and It feels amazing knowing it is also vegan and gluten free.
Overall The Green Beaver Company is wonderful! I absolutely love everything because they really work and they are all natural and cruelty free. I’m truly grateful that I had the opportunity to try their products. Everything smells so wonderful and works really well. I also love all the packaging, it is very pretty, colourful and also not harmful to the environment. It feels really amazing using products that make me feel safe and that I can trust. I highly recommend them.
GREENPLEX SKINCARE
Next I have Greenplex Skincare. The packaging is lovely. Smoked glass very soft and pretty. I’m a huge fan of packaging when it comes to products and this definitely gets a thumbs up from me. This is Anti-aging skincare that feels really nice and light on the skin. I’ve been using the Vitamin C moisturizing lotion and the vitamin C eye Complex and I absolutely love them! The Moisturizing Lotion has no fragrance which I like and the eye complex has a natural scent of cucumber. I love the formula and consistency of the eye complex. It’s a gel that is very soothing. This combo really hydrates the skin and feels nourishing. I love how light the eye complex is. It’s definitely a favourite. Give them a try! You will be delighted and content at how beautiful their products are. Great results and I’m very pleased.
The anti-aging vitamin C line is formulated to effectively fight aging. They dramatically reduce wrinkles, repair the uneven skin tone, fade sun spots and moisturize your face.

Summer ready with Val’s Coyote’s Skincare! Feels like a tropical vacation using these products. Especially the pina colada body cream! oh my goodness! Smells so wonderful and feels so good. These are not greasy, they absorb so nicely and leave the skin feeling so good and hydrated. I absolutely love the skin care and totally recommend you try them out. A wonderful sunscreen, an incredible body lotion and a hand cream that is “kiss ass hemp cream” that rocks!
Last but not least I have the lovely Carina Organics Pink Grapefruit Hand Soap. Very lovely and light and it is so gentle on the hands. Love the way this smells and it doesn’t dry my skin. A lovely hand soap and I love it!
