Mail of the Week (July 18 - 22)

Products to review from Hip Apotheca: I was recently approached by the very kind Michelle from Hip Apotheca - an online retailer specializing in natural and organic lifestyle products that is set to launch in a little less than a month - who offered me some samples. Because I didn't know any of the brand featured on their websites, Michelle offered to put together a package of items that she thinks would suit my skin type. Here's what I received:

• John Masters Organics Blood Orange & Vanilla Body Milk
• John Masters Organics Bloog Orange & Vanilla Body Wash
• John Masters Organics Green Tea & Rose Hydrating face Serum Normal/Dry
• John Masters Organics Vitamin C Anti-Aging Face Serum Dry/Mature
• Antipodes Joyous Protein-Rich Night Replenish Serum
• Antipodes Saviour Skin Balm
• Antipodes Vanilla Pod Hydrating Day Cream
• Antipodes Avocado Pear Nourishing Night Cream
• Adara Organic Coconut Virgin Oil
• Adara Organic Coconut Virgin Oil Innocent Rose
• Adara Organic Coconut Virgin Oil Heavenly Peach

I also wanted to tell you that the people from Hip Apotheca are giving a bottle of the Adara coconut oil to each person who signs their mailing list and makes a purchase when they launch. Those who don't make a purchase and register will receive a bag of samples.


Vegetarian Starter Guide from Compassion Over Killing: It may seem I receive lots of those "starter guides" but I like to be well-informed and have lots of recipe ideas on hand to be able to plan them in advance. You can order your free guide here.
