I’m always on the hunt for the best natural + organic lip balms and I’m a bit of a junkie connoisseur if I do say so myself.  I can’t handle the thin, greasy types that slide outside my lip region, no matter how pure they may be.  I’m happy to report that Joia Botanicals Cocoa Mango Lip Balm has gone on my lip balm faves list.  The taste, consistency and performance is quite fabulous.

For some reason, we were sent the Tropical Organic Belly Butter for expecting mothers.  Though neither of us are pregnant at the moment, boy did it get people talking when I left it out on the bathroom counter!  But I digress -  this stuff is heavenly.  I emailed my contact to ask the difference between the Belly Butter and the other Body ButtersCocoa-Vanilla Body Butter with a slightly different scent.  This is my favorite of all the products we were sent.  First, the packaging is totally unique, a completely biodegradable jar that is made entirely of paper with absolutely no plastic or glass so its super lightweight and won’t break (perfect for travel).  Secondly, the aroma is and she explained that the Belly Butter is the same formula as the divine, an intoxicating nutty vanilla. And lastly, the performance of this butter is amazing and very long-lasting.  My thoroughly dried out skin loves, loves, loves it!  I use it on my hands, arms, legs and feet and it banishes dryness in an instant.
