My second top ten Neal’s Yard Remedies organic products

My second top ten Neal’s Yard Remedies organic products

Oh my goodness, I don't think I realised just how many NYRO products I use and love in a day.  So here’s part two, my second top ten favourite NYRO products

11.  Remedies to Roll – Sleep.  Used on DS2 after a stressful day to encourage sleep
12.  Lipstick – gorgeous colours and incredibly nourishing.  Literally good enough to eat.
13.  Lemon and coriander deodorant – both DS1 and I use this.  No worries about parabens entering
        our underarm area.
14.  Bee lovely shower gel – stunningly citrusy and happy smell.  Helps me wake up in the morning.
15.  Mahonia spot gel – DS1 is a teenager and it’s great on spots – enough said.
16.  Zen soto – or as it was nicknamed at my day job “the volcano”.  Changes colour whilst dispersing essential oil blends.  Great conversation starter.
17.  Bee lovely balm – I keep it in my handbag.  Great as a lip balm, cuticle cream, hair gel etc..
18.  De-stress blend – used in the Zen soto and a frightening regular occurrence.
19.  Wild Rose Beauty Balm – I must admit it took me a while to like this product.   Now it’s like my
       treasure island item.  So many uses out of one pot.  Travel essential
20.  Gift range – ideal presents for everyone.  No products included (as with most Gift ranges) where
       you’d never use an item.  Jam packed full of great products.  Would even please my exceedingly
       picky Aunt!

That was surprisingly easy too.  Would you like to sell this amazing range of products?  If so, why not contact me.  Great products, free training, no hard selling required.

OK, shameless plug.  If you would like to try these products, here’s the link to my webshop



As always, thanks for reading and if you have any questions or comments, I’d love to hear from you below.

Some thoughts about parabens

I’ve been reading with concern and interest the current articles on parabens and in particular the link to breast cancer tissue. For the past few years, not only am I careful about what food and additives I consume but also what chemicals or additives are in my environment.

I am of the opinion that these products may be safe, however until they are proved to be safe, I would prefer to keep everything ‘clean’. If you need to check any of your skin care products check the ingredient list and if you see ingredients such as Methyparaben, Butylparaben, EtyhlParaben, Propylparaben, then they are not Paraben Free. Parabens can be found in body products such as shampoo and can cause allergic reactions, skin drying etc and have been linked to oestrogen overproduction. I just don’t want that risk in my body.

Why not check out the original Journal here:- Barr L, Metaxas G, Harbach CAJ et al. Measurement of paraben concentrations in human breast tissue at serial locations across the breast from axilla to sternum. Journal of Applied Toxicology, January 12 2012 (published online)

PS – all of the products sold by Heather Holistics are not only paraben free but certified by the Organic Soil Association.

Do you buy ‘safe’ products or are you prepared to take the risk? Let me know.
