My Favorite Things: Aveda

I realized that I love talking about things I love, so I figured I should make it a habit to blog about them as well. So I think I'll start a regular posting of "My Favorite Things".

Today, it's all about a few products by an awesome company called Aveda. Not only are their products amazing & effective, but they are all-natural & certified organic!! I am going to give a quick rundown of my top 3 must haves from Aveda.

Foot Relief

If your feet have it rough, treat them to a soothing creme blended with active herbs, exfoliating fruit acids and plant-derived oils like jojoba and castor. Even tough, stressed feet are smoothed, cooled and moisture-charged.
• Invigorates sore, tired feet and legs
• Softens and smoothes calluses and dry patches
• Helps deodorize with lavender and rosemary oils
• Absorbs quickly
Key ingredients: Jojoba, Lavender, Rosemary

Rosemary Mint Shampoo

This unique daily shampoo adds body to fine hair—without stripping, build-up or static electricity. Formulated with peppermint to awaken your senses and rosemary to help protect from environmental damage. Its pure plant aroma naturally energizes and motivates your mind and body.
• For fine to normal hair
Key ingredients: Peppermint, Rosemary

Phomollient Styling Foam

Their patented formula—which includes certified organic honey, burdock and marshmallow root—creates weightless volume on fine and medium hair. Adds shine without build-up or weight. Uses air-infused technology.
• For fine to medium hair types
• Light to medium hold
• Weightless volume
• Detangles
• Builds body
Key ingredients: Burdock, Honey, Marshmallow

I am a sucker for anything mint, so of course I love their entire Rosemary Mint line. All of the Ritual of Relief products contain minty, tingly ingredients as well. I just love the cooling and soothing effects of mint. It is incredibly refreshing! They also have an entire line of lip products called Nourish-Mint that are amazing. I really could go on forever about all the great things Aveda has to offer!

365 Tao: Daily Meditations

365 Tao: Daily Meditations365 Tao: Daily Meditations by Ming-Dao Deng
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I started the book on January 19, so I had to read the first 19 days all at once.
I have been doing really good with keeping up with the daily reading since then.
I hope to finish it this go round. The first time I ended up quitting. =0/
I made a community on LJ called 365tao to help me keep up with my daily reading.
