***NEW Non-Toxic beauty line***

Most of you know how passionate I am about holistic nutrition and health. I have spoken to many of you about this subject and through my blog, recommended many brands of products I've used. I've never been more excited about any brand than I am about Ava Anderson a Non-Toxic beauty and skin care line. There are so many great products available for the whole family!

There are no chemicals, carcinogens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances or dyes, triclosan, sulfates, PEG's or other contaminants. THAT'S AMAZING!!!

This is a line I represent and am strongly promoting. It takes a lot for me to say that. I would love your support and questions! I will be posting continual articles on this blog about holistic nutrition and add new products from Ava Anderson line as they come. I will be hosting a launch party next week in Winter Park.

If you're out of town, I'd love to speak with you about being part of this groundbreaking company that is going to take off. There's nothing like it out there and it's a great company to join now in its grassroots. Email or call me at 786.390.1521 to get more information about joining Ava Non-Toxic.

My best beauty secret!

So when people ask me about natural health for hair, skin and nails, I can go into an indepth conversation about nutrition, vitamins and minerals and products. However, there is one product that stands as my absolute favorite!

100% Bentonite Clay

I actually started using this internally as a heavy metal detox a few years ago. Just a spoon of this mud a day and it basically acts like a magnet in the body for toxins. It does not get absorbed, rather goes right through the body. The taste is neither here nor there...simply put: it's mud.

Then as I began looking into this wonderful clay, I quickly learned that it was an amazing face mask. I recommended it to a few people, including my mother-in-law, and immediately it not only became a favorite, it became the item to own.

Ready to relax? Mix in a small bowl the bentonite clay with apple cider vinegar. Stir with either a plastic spoon or a stirling silver spoon (not your regular spoon because of purity) ~ since most people don't own a silver spoon, just use plastic =). It'll tell you how much to mix on the back of the bottle, but I simply eye it and make sure its thick enough. Then apply on your face and get ready to feel "the pulse". I warn people about this because your face literally pulsates and begins tightening.

It's absolutely amazing and as pure as it comes! I've heard estheticians rave about expensive masks (over $100 a bottle) that boast containing bentonite clay, yet it's listed as the 10th ingredient, after all the toxic carcinogenic ingredients. This is the real deal and under $10 at your local health store.

Wash off with warm water and feel the softness that follows =) Warning: it will leave your face a little red but it wears off shortly. Hint hint: don't do right before a major event. Do it the day before or at least 3 hours before.

Note: The two images are my favorite clay brands. The Redmond Clay can be used both internally and externally.
