Natura Organic Wine Review by theorganicbunny on August 10, 2015June 9, 2020 While I’m not a huge drinker, I do like to enjoy a refreshing cocktail or glass of wine from time to time. When I do drink, though, I prefer it to be as organic and natural as possible, which is why I was super excited to come across this Organic, Vegan wine by Natura! Natura is currently the number one imported Organic wine brand and it’s produced by Emiliana Organic Vineyards, the world’s leading organic winery! The Natura wine collection features nine varietals, three whites and six reds, all produced from the highest quality, most pure, hand-picked, organic grapes, harvested from certified organic vineyards in some of the most renowned winegrowing valleys of Chile! Organic, natural products always taste better to me, so this wine was no exception. Because you are getting the absolute best quality 100% Organic grapes, free of all harsh chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and fertilizer, you really can taste a huge difference in this wine and it’s amazing. Because I am not a fan of red wine, I opted to try out the Sauvignon Blanc and limited edition Rose which both were beyond delicious, as I imagined they would be. Read More
Teaonic Wellness Tea Review by theorganicbunny on July 29, 2015July 29, 2015 If you’re a tea lover like I am, get excited because I have just discovered a brand new brewed, bottled, and ready-to-drink herbal wellness tea from a company called Teaonic! This line of herbal tea tonics is unique because the teas are specially made to address the common health needs of today! From detoxifying the liver and aiding digestion to relieving stress, and suppressing the appetite, Teaonic really does have a wide variety of wellness teas to treat the issue of your choice! Not only are the Teaonic teas great for you, they’re also Organic and all-natural, with no sugar, no calories, and no artificial flavors or preservatives. And, for icing on the cake, they are made locally in Los Angeles, in their very own micro-tea-brewery. So, How Do They Taste? These teas have a very “tea” taste to them because, well… they are pretty much just blends of teas, roots, berries and plant extracts! Because there is no added sugar, these teas are not sweet, however, you can always add an Organic sweetener of your choice if you need that extra sweetness. Read More
Smokey Eye Essentials by theorganicbunny on July 24, 2015March 10, 2018 Today’s Friday Favorite definitely goes to this Zuii Organic Black Diamond eyeshadow as it really is the very best black, non-toxic color I have come across so far. Because I love, love a smokey eye, I have gone through so many different natural black shadows but have never really been satisfied with any of them entirely besides this one. I tried this color months ago and loved it, but after trying out several others since then, I can confidently say that this is my favorite. Not only does it apply heavily pigmented, it lasts all day and has yet to crease up on me. I also love using this shadow as a bottom eyeliner, simply use a thin brush to apply this to the lower lash and bam, you have yourself the perfect smokey eye. Read More
What’s Really In Vaseline Products? by theorganicbunny on July 8, 2015July 8, 2015 While I applaud Vaseline’s recent attempt to glamorize their brand, it’s pretty disturbing to know that people around the world are being fooled into thinking these products are safe! As you know by now, skin is our largest organ, soaking up almost everything we apply to it, which is why it is not ok to be lathering up in Vaseline’s products, packed full of some of the worst ingredients ever! Wondering what’s inside? First of all, Vaseline uses synthetic fragrances which can totally disrupt our hormones as well as cause allergic reactions. This product also contains Propylparaben AND Methylparaben, both known to mimic estrogen, causing healthy cells to survive like cancerous cells. Parabens continuously turn up in biopsies which is why I will never ever touch a product that contains them, ever! Vaseline then uses Phenoxyethanol, a potential neurotoxin that is known to depress the central nervous system. Long story short, Vaseline is not a brand that is safe to use daily and there really is no reason to when SO many organic and natural alternatives are out there! Some safer moisturizing lines to look into are TASTYFACE Organics, K.Vossnyc or MAHALO. All of these lines have Organic, Natural body moisturizers that work amazing and that will never put your health at risk. Even better, code organicbunny will get you a discount at checkout! Be sure to share this with a Vaseline loving friend. Read More
Henne Organics Lip Balm Review by theorganicbunny on July 6, 2015July 6, 2015 Growing up I was super addicted to those Carmex lip pots, however, knowing what I now know today about conventional lip balm’s, the only products I will use are natural/non-toxic, which is why these Henne Organics Lip Balm’s are some of my absolute favorite, must-have products, some I keep in my purse at all times. Not only are these Lip Balms made entirely from 100% Natural and Organic ingredients, they hydrate my lips for hours, all while looking super chic in their quality, high-end Miron Violet glass packaging. They also are Cruelty-free and USDA Certified Organic which means you won’t have to ever worry about what’s hiding inside of these! So, wondering exactly what these products are made from? Henne Organics Lip Balms are made with: Read More
Think Pink! by theorganicbunny on June 25, 2015June 26, 2015 How cute are all of these pink non-toxic items!? I am a huge fan of all things girly and glamorous so I wanted to capture a few of my favorite current pink things! Everything with a * next to it means there is an organicbunny code you can use to save a little money. And now for the details! bkr Glass Water Bottle- I am SO excited my bkr glass water bottle arrived, I can now finally toss plastic water bottles for once and for all! These refillable bottles are not only reusable, they come with adorable silicone cases that you can also switch around. 100% Pure Pretty Naked Palette- I really did not think I would end up using this palette as much as I currently do! The far left blush color is so amazing, it’s the perfect pinky gold blush for the cheeks. I use this almost every single day now! Kjaer Weis Blush in Lovely- I have not tried this color out yet but from the looks of it I am already in love with its loveliness! I love all things Kjaer Weis so I anticipate this product winning me over as well. To apply these blushes, I dab a bit on my fingers and then onto my cheeks, using a Beauty Blender to blend it into the rest of my foundation. * Read More
Quinn Organic Popcorn Review by theorganicbunny on June 11, 2015June 15, 2015 I’m not normally a popcorn fan, mostly because up to 93% of our corn is genetically engineered and sprayed heavily with chemicals, but when Quinn Popcorn contacted me asking if I would like to sample their Organic Popcorn I thought, hell yeahhh, I can finally eat popcorn again! I have tried a few of the Organic popcorns I have seen in the stores, however, most are pretty dry and plain so I never really bought them again. Not only is Quinn Popcorn Organic and non-GMO, their popcorn comes in so many delicious flavors it’s hard to pick a favorite! Besides making pre-bagged popcorn, Quinn also makes microwave popcorn, without all the scary chemical coatings and toxic plastic & metal bags. Because I refuse to use microwaves, I was happy to learn that these bags of organic corn kernels can also be popped the old fashioned way by using a pot and healthy oil of your choice. Read More
Prim Botanicals Review by theorganicbunny on June 5, 2015July 20, 2022 One of my all-time favorite beauty products has to be hair oil, and after learning about how damaging my beloved Morrocan Oil is, I was desperately in need of a much cleaner alternative. Before I tell you more about my safer swap, I would like to take a second to talk about why products like MorrocanOil are so damaging for us. While most people probably assume that these products are simply natural oils that nourish and tame our wild tresses, the ingredients of these products are anything but. So, what’s really inside MoroccanOil’s hair products? Take a peek! D&C Red-17– This is used as a colorant and is considered a class 3 carcinogen. You should avoid all products with this ingredient in it, at all times. Skin absorption has been seen. Parabens– These preservatives may cause healthy cells to grow and survive like cancerous cells and can also be found in various breast tumors. Parabens are also endocrine disruptors with multiple links to allergic reactions. Fragrances– A combination of over 3,000 fragrances can be added to our beauty products, which very often lead to hormone disruptions and allergic reactions. Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone– This is added to leave a pleasant fragrance, however, this is toxic to aquatic organisms and can cause various allergic reactions. Cyclomethicone– This is a silicone-based compound. Coumarin– Used to increase aroma, this ingredient can lead to skin irritations or allergic reactions. Behentrimonium Chloride– Another ingredient known to cause irritations to the skin. Read More
Woodroze Sunglasses by theorganicbunny on June 2, 2015June 2, 2015 Who doesn’t love a cute pair of coral mirrored sunglasses in preparation for the warmer Summer months rapidly approaching? And what’s to love even more about these cute sunglasses is that they are also eco-friendly and recyclable to ensure we are not polluting the Earth in the process of our cuteness. I recently came across this line of handcrafted, wood sunglasses by a company called Woodroze, and because I fell in love with so many of their unique designs, paired with their commitment to a happier planet, I just had to share them with you all today. A few of my favorite things about Woodroze: For every tree they cut down, three more are planted and left untouched. A portion of every sale goes to reef restoration in the Florida Keys. Their sunglass frames are made from Pine Trees. The glasses are extremely light weight, comfortable and very durable. They only use high-grade Italian optics and hinges on all styles. They make cute styles for both men & women! Read More
Best & Worst Sunscreens to Use by theorganicbunny on May 27, 2015May 27, 2015 Because Summer is rapidly approaching, I felt compelled to share this Sunscreen Hall of Shame list created by the Environmental Working Group as it exposes the worst, most unsafe sunscreens you may be using on yourself and families. Every single time I see someone getting sprayed down with a bottle of Banana Boat or Coppertone, I die a little inside because I know that most people simply aren’t aware of the toxins that really exist in these products. We use sunscreen because we are told it’s safe and what we should do, but, do you really know what you are applying to your skin in the hot sun? Here is what the EWG has found. There are a lot of sunscreens on the market: some good, some bad and then the shameful. Those in the last category are not only a waste of money and time, but also potentially harmful. Here are our picks for products to banish from your beach bag forever. Spray sunscreens can be inhaled, and they don’t cover your skin completely. SPF’s above 50+ trick you into thinking they prevent sun damage, they don’t. SPF protection tops out at 30 to 50. Oxybenzone can disrupt the hormone system. Retinyl Palmitate may trigger damage, possibly cancer. Read More
