I love jojoba oil.
It is great for many beauty uses, however I only use it for a few things. This 100% pure jojoba oil from Foxbrim is certified organic which makes me feel comfortable knowing there are no fillers or additives lurking around in it making it harmful to my health.
I use it mainly for my skin and hair. I make my own tallow cream which I think is the BEST CREAM EVER! I have used jojoba an also argan oil (and a combination of both, depending on what I have on hand) the past year, when making this cream.
I LOVE it.
One thing that makes jojoba oil amazing for the skin is that it is the closest vegan option to use when wanting to mimic your own skin's sebum. The tallow cream that I make is made out of.... tallow! Which is the closest thing in nature to your own skin's sebum... but it is an animal-based product. Closely behind in effectiveness is jojoba oil. It is a good option for those who don't want to use animal products in their skin care.
Also it is very good when you mix in a few drops of rosemary oil, and about a teaspoon of jojoba oil, and massage your scalp with it. It can encourage your hair to grow out thicker and healthier. I would do that at night, sleep with it in your hair, and then shampoo it out the next morning.
Jojoba oil is rich in EFAs, and nutrients including vitamin E and the B vitamins, so you also are nourishing your skin.
Jojoba Oil is a dynamic moisturizing oil
with anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Other uses for jojoba oil include:
- Face & Body Moisturizer
- Natural Hair Conditioner
- Oil Cleansing
- Makeup Remover
- Skin Conditioner
- Preshave Oil

You Trim Weight Loss
Not only do you get two bottles of supplements, you also will get emailed to you some freebies -- diet plans, weight loss tips, etc. (I don't necessarily agree with all of the tips they give because I am a real foodie and eat real food, and am not afraid of full fat foods and meats and dairy, etc. I just don't gorge myself on any foods, and eat healthy, mostly meats and veggies).
I started these around March 20th and continued taking them for about 3 weeks. Unfortunately I have not lost any weight. Whether this product works or not, I do not know. It seems as if it would be a good product. CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is well known to help lose weight, and the ingredients in the second bottle also are known to boost metabolism and energy. So the question is, why didn't I lose weight?
I think I know the answer to that question.
I have severe adrenal fatigue. And until I address that, and heal my adrenals, I am not going to lose weight.
So what am I doing to heal my adrenals? After trying tons of adaptogenic herbs and cortisol support supplements, I am trying an adrenal cortex supplement AND I am trying to relax and meditate at least 15 minutes every day. I also got my food allergy tests back and am removing those foods from my diet to help boost my immune system and give my body a chance to heal.
I am saying no more often, and trying to not stress about certain things.
And then, I bet if I tried You Trim Weight Loss System again, that it would have an effect on me!

Vitamin C Serum
This Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid Serum offers great protection against antioxidants for your skin. Because it helps boost collagen production, you should see a minimization of wrinkles on your face.
Everyone who knows me knows that I am super picky about the ingredients that I will allow on my skin. But this serum passed the test. The ingredients are good quality, and are not going to put toxins in your body like so many other facial beauty skin care products.
I have only been using this serum for a couple weeks, and only have one sun spot (like a freckle) on my face. It is said that this serum may fade these sunspots. So far I haven't seen it, but I will keep trying.
This product is not just for aging women like me! (I will be 40 this month, ack). It is also for those youngsters that want to keep their skin soft and smooth as they age. By youngsters I mean those 20-somethings with perfect skin!
This product can:
- Help refine skin texture
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkle formation
- Indulges your skin with vitamin C and vitamin E to help prevent aging
- Reduces oxidative stress on your skin caused by environmental toxins (smog, sun, etc)
- Stimulates collagen production
Purchase this serum here.
