Live Well Compass Matcha Green Tea

I love everything about Live Well Compass Matcha. The quality is supreme! It’s as fine as a flour. It’s organic. It’s healthy. It has the amazing bitter-ish taste of the matcha green tea. 

There are so many ways to use it. My favorite recipe is very simple and fast.

Matcha Milk

1. Mix 1 teaspoon in a glass of milk.

2. Microwave it till for about a minute. All microwaves are different. Make sure not to boil your milk.

3. Add 1 teaspoon of honey

4. Microwave for another 30 seconds

5. Stir it well and enjoy.

I like that it gives me some extra energy in the morning, and relaxes me before going to bed. It magically listens to what your body needs :)

 There’s a simple recipe similar to mine on the back of the package. You can also download a free ebook on Live Well Compass website with 100 amazing recipes on how you can use matcha green tea powder. They are accompanied with videos. It’s pretty cool. I’m looking forward to making my own mochi!!

Geneva Naturals Anti-Aging Cellular Face Oil

Geneva Naturals Cellular Face Oil is a great solution from the aging signs. This face oil protects the skin from free radicals while increasing the elasticity and firmness of your skin. It moisturizes the skin wonderfully, and decreases the appearance of fine likes and wrinkles. This oil doesn’t have any smell. The main ingredients are Raspberry, Cranberry and Blueberry Seed Oils.
You could use it in the morning prior to applying your make-up, but be careful, and use 3-4 drops maximum. I like using it on weekends the best. I’m very pleased with the effects, and will definitely buy again.

Geneva Naturals Anti-Aging Retinoid Face Oil

Geneva Naturals Retinoid Face Oil is a wonderful alternative to your night cream. Its formula is a great combination of natural ingredients, such as Blue Tansy Oil, Chamomile and Grapeseed Oil. It smells wonderful!! I like using it at night. It absorbs relatively fast and won’t stain your pillow. The effects in the morning are quite amazing! My skin feels so moisturized I don’t always feel like putting on a daily moisturizer! The appearance of wrinkles reduces. My skin tone looks refreshed, even and bright. It is especialyl beneficial for the dry skin. However my spouse has a combination skin, and loves this oil too.

Geneva Naturals Anti-Aging Purifying Clay Mask

Geneva Naturals Clay Mask is truly the best clay mask I have ever tried. It doesn’t dry and stiffen your face unlike some other clay masks I’ve tried. Its texture is very thin, and it’s actually invisible on your face after a couple of minutes. I was so impressed to see the oil popping out of my pores. The mask sucks out everything that should not be inside your pores!! I have never seen anything like that! I’ve been using this mask for a couple of weeks now, and the appearance of wrinkles has significantly reduced. This mask also prevents the appearance of the age spots. Oh, and it smells wonderful too! I love all the natural ingredients. It’s quite amazing!

Castor Oil

I love castor oil and its countless benefits. The cold pressed castor oil is the purest of castor oils and doesn’t have any additional ingredients but the oil itself. Shiny Leaf Castor Oil is a premium quality. Here are some of my favorite uses and benefits:

- It relieves muscle soreness. If you tend to overwork your muscles now and then this would be your perfect solution. Use it as a massage oil by itself or mixed with essential oils.
- It helps with hair growth. Apply a few drops to your scalp and massage thoroughly. Cover your hair with a shower cap. Wash off in an hour. You might need to wash your hair 2-3 times. Your hair will get used to it eventually and it will be easier to wash it off. Make sure you don’t have any important events next day when you try this for the first time.
- It can thicken your eyelashes. Apply every night with an old mascara brush.
- It moisturizes the skin. Rub a few drops between your palms to warm it up, and apply to your skin. A little goes a long way.
- It extends your sleep. If you work crazy hours like me and your body has crazy bio clock this little trick will help you sleep full 7-9 hours during the weekend. Dab one drop on your eyelids when you go to bed.

That’s just the tip of an iceberg. Castor oil also helps to relieve the arthritis pain, has anti-fungal qualities, can be a good lubricant, can be used to ease a skin rash of your pets, it has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, reduces blood pressure and improves blood circulation, and much more!

Rose Absolute Oil

If roses are your favorite flowers the Shiny Leaf RoseAbsolute aroma oil will be your favorite one! Putting a few drops on my neck makes me feel like I’m in the middle of a rose garden. I’m absolutely in love with it!! I usually use it for aroma purposes, either directly on my skin or in my essential oil diffuser. However you can also use for therapeutic purposes to relieve your muscles pain or strengthen your hair. It is mixed with rosehip and jojoba oils that have a lot of amazing qualities on their own.

Copaiba Essential Oil

I’m a geek for essential oils. I was looking for a natural remedy from cold sores and stumbled upon the Copaiba Essential Oil. It has a very mild pleasant woodsy smell.  It is derived from a resin based plant in South America. I was very pleased to find out that there are so many additional awesome benefits to it:

• Eliminates the infection, can be applied directly to the wounds
• Reduces muscles pain
• You can use it as a home-made inhaler to treat the respiratory problems. My grandma recipe is to boil a pot of water, put 10 drops of essential oil into it, cover yourself with a thick blanket or towel over the pot, and breathe in for 10-15 minutes.
• It tightens the skin and helps to decrease the wrinkles appearance
• It heals the skin damage, such as acne and scars
• Improves the mood and helps with anxiety, perfect for bed-time diffuser
• Antifungal
