Organic Wise Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder








This is a 4 OZ bag of organic matcha. I have tried many different matcha tea. The label does not indicate cooking or ceremonial matcha but from the color, smell and taste I feel confident enough to say that it is a ceremonial grade tea. Cooking grade matcha usually have a yellowish or light brown hue.

Organic wise matcha:

- Color is bright green
- scent is fresh and green
- smooth and fine powder
- taste is slightly bitter and leaves a sweet aftertaste.

This matcha comes from Japan and which is the origin that I prefer. Powder is very fine and smooth. To make a nice foamy matcha I would need to whisk for about 3-5 minutes. In the video I whisk it in a haste just to show you how it is done. You will need a chasen to smooth out the clumps.
The taste of course is ceremonial and for this price it is a very good deal in my opinion.

I was given a discount for the matcha to test/review. My review is 100% honest and from my own experience. Thanks for reading.

Essential Oil Soaps 4 Pack







I absolutely adore these soaps. I mean they look really plain and Jane. Even the packaging is very down to earth. Not to mention the scent of these soap are breath taking. They kind of seep through the packaging when I opened the box.

There is no doubt that these soaps are handmade. The description does say "handmade by Indian artisans". The fact that it is just make me love these even more!
The ingredient are full of natural oils and no chemical or fragrance.

Mint, Rosemary & Eucalyptus:
The color is navy blue and the scent is rather mild compared to the other 3. I had to sniff it really close and I sneezed! It has a neutral/masculine kind of scent and is very soothing. The mint is mild and not penetrating at all. The scent of rosemary is dominant.

Orange & Lemongrass:
I almost mistaken it for sandalwood because it smell almost just like sandalwood essential oil except for the gentle lemon scent. The color is like an attractive dead leaf. Also has a neutral/masculine scent.
My FAVORITE out of the four because it's not too strong and has a gentle almost musky. Perfect for a dude and or a lady. For a lady like me.

Patchouli with Aloe Vera:
The strongest scent of all 4. The color is a muddy yellow. Without looking at the ingredient list I would of definitely think lemon oil is on there. Not! It must be that patchouli..but where does that fresh citrus scent come from!? Never mind that. Smells uh-mazing.

Last but not least- Lavender & Ylang Ylang:
Reminds me of the eye shadow color teenager wear these days. Purple and blue!
The scent is very settling and earthy yet fresh and feminine. Has the 3rd strongest scent of the 4.

Organic Jojoba Oil by Deluxe Botanicals


Organic Jojoba Oil by Deluxe Botanicals






 I never had jojoba oil before but I can tell this is as advertised. Organic and unrefined pure jojoba oil should have a very mild nutty scent.
I did some research before using and testing the oil. It seems that it is safe :D




The color is a light yellow and slightly oily. After applying a little dab on my hand and rub in a circular motion. The oil dries in less than a minute and it is extremely moisturizing without any irritation or scent. I'm not sure about using this oil in my hair because it would make my hair really oily looking but it is perfect for skin as moisturizer.I also use this as a carrier oil for mixing with essential oils. The absorption is excellent.

Virgin Coconut Oil


Virgin Coconut Oil







Virgin coconut oil is very delicious. The taste is very mild however you get a nutty after taste.
Virgin coconut oil has numerous benefits for our body, externally and in internally.
The oil is transparent and non greasy. It dries up quickly on skin. It is extremely moisturizing.
There is no chemical or any other ingredient.

I wouldn’t use this on my skin because digesting it would provide more benefit in my opinion.
I use a tea spoon of the oil in my tea and it makes it smell almost creamy. And yes it does smell like coconut. Virgin coconut oil can aid in digestion and help you lose weigh by detox. It is also full of that awesome nutrient our body needs; vitamin E and D. Also packed with tons of antioxident
