I have never claimed to be a fashion or beauty blogger, but I do get asked from time to time about the products I use especially around skin care and household products. My goal is to use clean, chemical free products on my skin, clothes and in the house. It has been a journey, but here are some of my favorite brands and discount codes (if I have them) for you. I don’t pay full price for pretty much anything and neither should you. (JEDI has his own discounts available so be sure to check those out too)
Makeup/Beauty
I discovered the Tarte brand a couple years ago and I absolutely love their makeup from foundation, to powders to mascaras and lipsticks. I even use some of their oils, eye creams and skin care. I love them because they work beautifully. They are cruelty free, vegan friendly and are “always formulated without: Parabens • Mineral Oil • Phthalates • Triclosan • Sodium Lauryl Sulfate • Gluten” (source: Tarte.come) Use this link to get 15% off + FREE Shipping on any order over $40: https://share.tartecosmetics.com/x/x9mviB
Laundry/Detergent
I was tired of hearing about how many chemicals and dyes are our in the top name brand detergents. So, after seeing an ad for Rockin’ Green on Facebook several times for how clean and effective their products were to remove months and year-long gunk from clothes that we thought were clean, I fell for it and finally ordered some! (Tell me, I’m not the only one who’s purchased from these ads) But I was totally impressed and best of all – they work! And work great. And again, I love them because they are clean, gentle on the skin and earth friendly. Use this link to save 10% on your order: http://rockingreen.refr.cc/serinar
Sunscreen
A hot top around here at the beach. There is a lot of bad sunscreens out there so please do your research. But to save you time, I have found to love the COOLA brand. They are a very eco-friendly brand, use organic ingredients and are locally sourced as much as possible. They work, smell great (or not if you don’t want them to) and actually help moisturize your skin. They are perfect for the beach or for every day wear under makeup etc. I even get my husband to wear this everyday on his face:)

Protein
I have searched for a non dairy protein that actually tastes good FOREVER or at least for a few months – maybe even years. I have fallen in love with Orgain’s vegan protein powders. They are absolutely delicious and vegan friendly! And their new sport line is perfect post workout or even during or in between!

Household/Cleaning Products
I grew up using Bleach… bleach on anything and everything. Some say it’s a Mexican thing and while I’m technically of Spanish decent, my ancestors passed this tradition down to all in my family. This was a tough one for me to change, but I have read and researched so many negative effects bleach can have on our health and especially the health of our pets I wanted to make a change. So I switched to Simple Green. Their products are non toxic and work just as well as bleach (believe it or not) and smell SO much better! I use their All Purpose Cleaner, Disinfectant, Bio Dog, Carpet Cleaner, etc. They also developed a wonderful line of pet products through a non-profit called Amore for Dogs where the proceeds directly go to saving shelter animals! Unfortunately, I do not have a discount code for them, but they are found locally in stores – just look under the “where to buy” tab. The pet products are only available online.
