Happy Birthday to me and all the other amazing people born on May 13th! Woot! In case you couldn't tell, I love love love celebrating my birthday. So much in fact that I celebrate starting April 30th and continue through June 1st.

Today, Orpah has the cast from Twilight on, and believe it or not, I haven't seen nor heard nor read one bit about that. But, the photos I've seen have really interesting makeup. Here's a blurb from the Oprah upcoming show:

"They are the hottest stars on the planet—Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Dakota Fanning!"

Now, to continue in my sunscreen quest to find what's good, great and worthy of a purchase I offer up the new Nature's Gate Faceblock in spf 25. I liked it. Light, not greasy, absorbs well, and it is paraben, phtalates, mineral oil, petrolatum and animal derived ingredients free!

If you don't know the Nature's Gate product line, they as a company are intentional about being earth friendly and support ongoing efforst to preserve the earth's natural resources and develop sustainable sources of clean water.

So, yes, I like the product and an even bigger yes, I like what the company is about.

This tube of goodness! It's an antioxidant filled scrub that uses super fine walnut shell based exfoliants. Oh does it feel so good! It's similiar to Dermalogica Microfoliant in texture though has a rich, earthy, nutty scent that is subtle yet good.

The scrub combines Acai Nut Powder, Cupuacu Butter and Andiroba Oil to soften while revealing healthy skin underneath winter dryness.

It's ideal for all skin types, contains certified organic botanicals, is hypo-allergenic, pH balanced and 100% vegetarian with no animal testing.

Funny how I got this sample: I came by it sideways as I was researching HCG Diet Protocol products that would be congruent with the original Dr. Simeons transcript of how to effectively adhere to the diet.

The results of my research were laborious and intense only to come to the final conclusion that Dr. Simeons in his "Pounds and Inches" manuscript said only two things were approved and only in extreme cases of dryness: mineral oil and petroleum jelly.

I find that difficult to swallow since they are the two things I would never want to put on my skin. Alas, his reasons are "because they don't penetrate the skin and only moisturize on the surface level".

These rich natural butters and oils do exactly what they are supposed to: slowly absorb into the upper dermis and moisturize the skin, feeding it and plumping it.

For all of you not on the HCG diet protocol, go get some Alba Botanica Rainforest Gentle Acai Renewal Scrub at your local Sprouts or Whole Foods! Visit their website for more information at http://www.albabotanica.com/
