Review About JouwBox May 2021 - Natural Products Part 1

Hi There..... Would you like some new tips on how to take care of yourself with natural products?

Those who have been following my blog for a while know I love to take care of myself, and I also love to try out new natural products. 😉

My parents raised me to be responsible for nature, and I love that about them. Sad to say, my parents are no longer with me, and I never told them how much I appreciate this. 😢

Oh my, I am glad you can’t see my face right now. Tears are running down my cheeks at this thought. Ah yes, proof that I am a human being, I suppose. 😏

Let me dry my tears to continue writing. So weird I can express my sad thoughts on paper, but I can’t let anyone see my tears, except my close family, even though it is human nature. 😞

It’s this immense wall I put up around me because they laughed at me as a young girl for being the cry baby. It’s only since recently I found out that I am a highly sensitive person.

I took the test and finding out I am highly sensitive explains a lot about how shy I was and why I cried so easily as a young girl. It’s not all bad though, because it made me the person I am today. Someone who has a lot of stories to tell, lol. 😉

Time to take a peek at those natural products inside this new JouwBox to take care of yourself.

What's a JouwBox?

Tim Hortensius says that as the founder of JouwBox, and being a pure bon vivant, he believes in healthy enjoyment and a good balance. He also knows it's easier said than done, because where do you start and which products really contribute to a healthy lifestyle? 

These are questions that he regularly encountered. It is difficult to choose great natural products if you don't have the knowledge to decipher an ingredient list yourself. So he often found himself in the store, contemplating what to choose. He felt there had a be a better way.

In his search for the right nutritionist, he came into contact with Ralph Moorman. As a nutritionist and food technologist, Ralph could advise him on the right products. In his belief that a healthy lifestyle should be easy to achieve for everyone, he came up with the JouwBox.

What is inside this JouwBox?

1. MUDMASKY® - VITAMIN INFUSED EYE SERUM

The skin around our eyes is not only the thinnest but also the most sensitive on our body. It's ten times thinner than the skin on the rest of our face. This makes the eye area the first place where signs of premature skin aging occur, such as dark circles, fine lines, and bags under the eyes. The vitamin eye serum contains a vitamin A blend of all-natural vitamin C. Vitamin C is an essential ingredient for firming the skin. It has a refreshing effect and powerful antioxidant effect. This serum is ideal for all skin types and is considered a superfood for your skin.

2. VITAILY - MASTERCLASS VITALITY

Health is not the absence of disease, but the presence of vitality. This unique masterclass for JouwBox shows how we developed evolutionary, as humans. Our brain is not designed to make us happy. Our bodies are not made to keep us healthy, especially in an unnatural environment. It is therefore essential that we take charge of our self-care and our vitality. Richard shows us what an evolutionary, logical eating, exercising, and relaxing pattern is. He challenges us to integrate certain simple lifestyle tips directly into our lives to experience the effect ourselves. Bet you will want nothing else?

3. TASTEA - ENERGY BOOST

The loose tea blends from tastea are made from pure and natural ingredients from all over the world. Every day the most beautiful tea leaves, the spiciest spices, and the tastiest fruits are collected. Especially for you! As soon as you open the tastea Energy Boost tea blend, you will be overwhelmed by the fresh scent of orange, delicious! Besides orange, there is also a special ingredient in this tea blend: Green Mate. This is a plant that is high in antioxidants, nutrients, and caffeine. That is why this tea is also a healthy alternative to coffee.

4. VITAILY - BASIS SUPPLEMENTEN 7 ZAKJES

Many people use multiple types of supplements on a daily basis. This is very sensible as a supplement to the modern diet, but also in case of fatigue, restlessness in your head, or tense muscles. Vitaily is a unique concept, with several powerful nutrients in one sustainable day bag. A day bag of Vitaily Vegan contains omega 3 (from algae oil), vitamin D3, vitamin K2, magnesium, zinc, selenium, iodine, and vitamin B12, of course in the correct active forms and the correct concentrations. No more hassle with multiple pots, because it only takes 8 seconds and 4 sips of water per day to take care of yourself.

5. OOLABOO - ECO SHAMPOO BAR 70G

The Oolaboo super foodies eco shampoo bar is shampoo in a solid form, which gives the hair a great shine and condition. Specially added vegetable oils, such as olive oil and sunflower oil, provide hydration to the hair. Argan oil and jojoba oil provide elasticity and protection. Glycerine provides a brilliant shine.

Panthenol, or provitamin B5, calms and restores the scalp and also ensures shiny hair, and has an anti-static effect. A rose-like scent provides a pleasant fragrance experience.

6. WE LOVE THE PLANET - LIP BALM VELVET SHINE

The lip balm contains the highest quality, natural and organic oils, and butters. Each lip balm is based on coconut oil and vitamins E and C, which nourish, soften, and protect the lips.

The natural shimmer gives an extra shine to your lips with the scent of exotic mango. The lip balm comes in innovative, recycled packaging made from FSC mix paper. It is the trusted push-up stick that you have come to expect from us, only smaller! Press the bottom of the stick slightly upwards and swipe a few times over the lips for natural protection of your lips. Your natural lip must-have is easy to carry in your handbag or pocket because it is a compact stick.

7. WELEDA - POMEGRANATE REGENERATING BODYLOTION

The pomegranate is not only very healthy to eat, but is also an excellent source of antioxidants for natural care products.

This 100% natural regenerating body lotion actively prevents premature skin aging. Valuable ingredients such as organic pomegranate seed oil, apricot kernel oil, and shea butter stimulate cell renewal and protect the skin against harmful environmental influences. The skin becomes firmer and feels silky soft. With a sensual scent of orange and davana.

8. ERICA - SHOWER BAR POWER HIBISCUS

Treat yourself to this solid shower bar with nourishing shea butter, sweet almond oil, and aloe vera extract. Surround yourself with the floral scents of chamomile and Indian lotus. Economical in use and suitable for daily cleaning. Use: Apply the shower bar to damp skin while showering and massage the soft foam. Rinse your body thoroughly with water. Store the bar in a dry place after use.

9. 5TH SEASON - ORGANIC FRUIT SALAD BITES

Let's get Fruity! With 5th Season's freeze-dried fruit snacks you can enjoy the tastiest fruits all year round. Strawberry, apple, and banana are the only ingredients in this pure fruit mix. The different flavors are a match made in (fruit) heaven! Each bag of Fruit Salad Bites equals 80g of fresh fruit and contains less than 40 kcal. Thanks to freeze-drying, the taste and over 90% of the vitamins and fibers of the fruit are well preserved. A truly healthy snack, ideal for on the go and when your kids are begging for a snack. Fruit without the hassle!

10. MATTISSON - RUNDER COLLAGEEN POEDER PEPTAN TYPE 1

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and is essential for maintaining connective tissue structure and strength. Our skin, joints, bones, muscles, hair, and nails are made up of collagen. After the age of 25, collagen production gradually declines, and this contributes to the formation of wrinkles, the deterioration of muscles, and the joints becoming less flexible. Collagen type 1 supports the cohesion, elasticity, and regeneration of all our connective tissues, including the skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bones. Mattisson Bovine Collagen Hydrolyzate is extracted from the skin of cattle. "Hydrolyzed" means that the proteins have been broken up into smaller pieces by means of enzymes. This makes it more easily absorbed into the body.

11. LEMON-AID - CHARITEA RED

ChariTea is a real brewed tea made from real tea leaves. Only lightly sweetened with agave syrup, very low in calories. No extracts or concentrates used, and no artificial flavors added. ChariTea is the iced tea brand of Lemonaid Beverages. They started the #drinkinghelps revolution in 2009 in Hamburg, to provide a better and more social alternative to the well-known soft drink giants. How? With every bottle, they support social projects in the home countries of the ingredients (Sri Lanka, India, South Africa, Rwanda, Mexico, Paraguay). They have already invested more than € 5,000,000 in over 40 different local projects. In addition, the ingredients are organic and Fairtrade certified.

12. VERY STRONG - YOUR GUIDE TO A BETTER LIFE BUTTON BOOKLET (OERSTERK - JOUW GIDS NAAR EEN BETER LEVEN KONTZAKBOEKJE)

Modern life is one big conflict with our genes, due to the overkill of artificial nutrition, inactivity, artificial light, lack of sleep, chronic stress, toxins, and psycho-emotional stress. We choose a nice, easy and comfortable life. We unconsciously create a heavy and uncomfortable life. Fortunately, you don't have to be sick to get better. In this booklet, Drs. Richard de Leth takes you to a better life. If your body is dear to you, then live preventively.

I can already give you my insights on 3 natural products out of this box. There will be more product reviews later after I have done more tests. 

My opinion on the Weleda Pomegranate Regenerating Body Lotion

I am becoming more and more a fan of Weleda. I just love this body lotion. The scent is sooo good, and it absorbs in the skin fast without leaving a greasy feeling. My skin is quite dry so I will finish this in no time. The pump makes it also very easy to use. 😍

My opinion on the 5th Season Organic Fruit Salad Bites

I had never heard of freeze-dried fruits, and I was pleasantly surprised. What a great snack, less than 40 kcal, and 90% of the vitamins and fibers kept. It also comes in a handy size to take with you to work. I can't think of a better way to take care of yourself. 😋

My opinion on We Love The Planet Lip Balm Velvet Shine

I fully used the deodorant from We love the planet from one of the previous Jouwboxes. The lip balm works the same way as the deo. You press the product upwards through the cylinder. It smells delicious and spreads easily. I did have some problems getting it out for the first time, so I used a small kitchen knife to carefully loosen it. 😉

Keep an eye on my blog for more reviews on the natural products out of this JouwBox.

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Where to Find High Quality Eco-Friendly Fitness Apparel - BeReal - Sports Wear

Hi There..... Do you workout? Do you like sports wear and fitness apparel?

I will not lie about it, but workouts and sports are just not my cup of tea. That doesn’t mean I can’t wear sports wear, now does it? 😜

When I was a young girl, though, my mom used to take me and my sisters swimming every week. It was a lot of fun. First, we would swim for about an hour and a half, and afterward to the cafeteria. 😍

They had the most delicious pancakes and yogurt with fresh fruits. We stopped going there when they closed the cafeteria. Now tell me, what’s the point of swimming when you can’t have a snack after. 😏

Nah, that’s not the reason we stopped going. They closed the swimming pool for restoration, so we switched to ice skating, snacks included, of course. 😁

Ok, enough chit-chat. How about I tell you more about the sports wear from BeReal, who only ships to UK and USA, who gifted me this Hoodie? 😎

https://berealwear.com/products/signature-hoodie

Who are they?

BeReal designs the highest quality and eco-friendly fitness apparel. They use the finest fabric for their collections. They have rigorous quality checks to ensure that customers get the best product/clothing and best customer service.

Their brand is an activewear brand. They have designs that are comfortable for workouts and even comfortable for lounging around or working from home. 

BeReal believes our true self is who we really are when we let go of all the stories, labels, and judgments that we have placed upon ourselves. It is who we naturally are without the masks and pretentiousness.

Who is it for?

Their sports wear is for everyone who wants to be unique and be real. They truly believe everyone is exceptional and unique in their own way and the clothing brand represents that.

Their fashion advice is 'Be Yourself, be Real … You are enough'

Where are they located?

Their base is in London, and they have a presence in New York as well. They are getting a significant response and are introducing online free workout classes on their website and IG @berealwear starting Sunday, so everyone can benefit from them in the comfort of their own home.

About their signature Hoodie

Perfect for all Seasons:

Made from super-soft, high-quality and comfortable cotton material to keep you warm and comfy indoors and outdoors.    

Relaxed Fit, with a drawstring in the hood.

Match the hoodie with leggings or joggers and wear it with their sports bra underneath for a complete look.

What did I think?

I am so in love with my new Hoodie. It is comfortable and soft, and the color and length are just perfect for me. I can easily combine it with my jeans or leggings. 

They have a lot of great sportswear on their website, so definitely worth checking out. 😍

Where to Find Eyebrow Razors - Kaitlyn Skin Artist Products for Shaved Eyebrows

Hi There..... Do you have shaved eyebrows? Do you use an eyebrow razor?

Until recently I had never used an eyebrow razor. When I was in my early twenties, and I went out, I used to pluck them with a tweezer. Not entirely, of course, just the excess hairs underneath and in between the eyes. 😃

Have you ever tried that? Ooh, it's so much fun. 😏

No, of course not. It was very painful but something that needed to be done. And afterward, my skin turned completely red. It's incredible what women do to look their best. Yes, I know that's me included. 😁

You may wonder why I suddenly shaved my eyebrows instead of plucking them? Have you ever known me to write a review without having tried the item or product first? I don't think so. 😉

Let me tell you more about the razor blades I received from Kaitlyn Skin Artist Products.

https://www.kaitlynskinartistproducts.com/products/eyebrow-razor-by-kaitlyn-skin-artist-products

Who are they?

Kaitlyn skin artist products just got started early this year. They wanted to bring into the market quality products which would prove useful for a longer time. They only operate with products with tested results and quality. They aim for high standards and demand also from their suppliers responsible material use 😉

What is the Eyebrow Razor for?

Their Eyebrow Razor comfortably trims away unwanted hair for an immaculate and smooth eyebrow. This is the perfect touch-up tool for groomed brows.

3 razors in one set!

Easy to shape up eyebrows with stainless steel blade including also a stainless steel handle. 

You can also use this razor for the upper lip, jawline, neck, and for bikini line to clean up errant hairs.

Each set has three razors  - blade size 5 cm and they come in a bag - size 6 cm x 18,5 cm.

How to use them?

You don't need any sort of cream or oil to shave your eyebrows, but it is best to clean the skin first. You don’t want to risk the spread of bacteria.

To get the best results, perform short, downward strokes in the direction of the hair growth with your eyebrow razor at a 45-degree angle.

Avoid long strokes and apply light pressure on the razor. To make it easier, hold the skin around your eyebrows taut.

What did I think?

I think it's a great tool. At first, I was a little scared, because I had done nothing like this before, but there was no need. Ah, you know me, the scaredy-cat. 😜

It is very easy to use because of the handle. And what I think is a big positive, it doesn't hurt a bit, and your skin doesn't hurt afterward either. 😍

If you are stuck at home, the salons are closed, or you don't want to spend lots of money, and still want those nice and groomed brows. This is the perfect tool for you. 😎

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Where to find Korean Fashion online - StyleupK - Streetwear Clothing

Hi There..... Do you like Streetwear Clothing? Are you a fan of Korean Fashion?

I have heard a lot about this kind of streetwear clothing but never been to Korea on a shopping trip. That’s way too far for me. Some of you may recall I told you in one of my previous blog posts, I am not a fan of flying. Life is all about making choices, isn’t it? You can’t be a fan of everything. 😉

The thought of flying reminds me of the airplanes I used to make when I was about 13 or 14 years old. No, not genuine airplanes, because that would not end well. They were the modeling kind from plastic I used to put together. I could spend hours trying to mend the pieces. No, I never suffered from a broken heart. I had to stick the tiny pieces of the plains together. 😏

You could say I was a bit of a tomboy at that age. My hair was quite short back then. I would climb trees, jump from obstacles, wrestle with my friends, and I would always run around in jeans with a cap on my head. 😜

I have become much more girly now. Or should I say womanly? Reason enough to choose this lovely pink T-shirt when StyleupK contacted me to make a blog post for them about their Korean fashion. 😍

https://www.styleupk.com/products/i-am-not-a-human-being-pink-panther-mixed-basic-logo-1-oversized-tshirt

Who is StyleupK?

They curate fashionable pieces that will make anyone look effortlessly stylish.

All fashion brands at StyleupK are curated and shipped from Korea.

They promise 100% authenticity, and sincerely thank all customers for putting their trust in them. They will do their best to retain your trust! <3

Why they started?

They have enjoyed the luxury of shopping for clothes while traveling in Korea. No wonder Seoul is called a fashionable city and is known as a shopper's paradise!

However, it wasn't that easy to find great quality designs at affordable prices after they returned to their countries after a trip to Korea.

Even if they are able to locate the item overseas, it is so UBER expensive!

"Wouldn't it be good to continue shopping for overseas products similar to the local prices? Shopping shouldn't be something that you wait until your next trip."

They also love Korea and the different places it has to offer, other than the usual shopping districts like Myeongdong, Gangnam, Express Bus Terminal. They see many tourists spending most days at the shopping districts and thought that it would be nice to introduce the other places of this unique country to them.

And thus, they started on this journey to share the love for Korean fashion with all of you overseas. And hope that next time when you come to Korea, you will spend a bit more time exploring the beautiful country!

Are the fashion items from StyleupK Authentic?

StyleupK knows how it feels like to purchase a product that is not authentic. It doesn't feel good, does it? 

As such, all products listed and sold on StyleupK are 100% authentic and purchased from the brand name shops. Some brands come with their own verification methods such as hologram tags for you to check authenticity. Even for those brands without a separate authenticity tag, rest assured that they are all authentic.

What did I think?

I just love this Pink Panther T-shirt. They also had them with images of the Pink Panther himself, but I think this paw print is just too cute. The shape is oversized but not extremely, which I think is perfect. 😎

Another positive point is that I can feel that the fabric is of excellent quality. On the negative maybe, they gave me quite a hard time. They have such an extensive choice that I didn't know what to choose. Or is that a positive? 😁

They also have a Fashion magazine with lots of styling tips, so be sure to check them out.

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

What are Tea Tree Oil Benefits - Australian Bodycare - Shaving Kit

Hi There..... Would you like to know more about tea tree oil benefits? Have you ever heard of a shaving kit for women? Do you shave your intimate area?

I trim my edges. It’s not so fashionable to have hairs coming out on the sides of your bathing suit. Shaving is my solution, but you could also choose to solve the problem by walking like a penguin. If you think about it, it’s a double win situation. Their arms are also right next to their bodies so you wouldn’t have to do your armpits either. 😂

Never done a clean shave down there, though, because I don’t want to look like a little girl. The contrast from top to bottom would be too big for me. 😏

During my time in high school, as far as I was aware of, I didn’t have any friends that shaved intimately. Could be because I was in a catholic school, and we were all prudes. We didn’t talk about that kind of subject except with our best friends. For all I know, they may have been fully bold without me knowing it. 😳

Did you know that in the 1450s, British prostitutes shaved their pubic hair for personal hygiene and the combatting of pubic lice? Can you imagine having lice down there? Oh My, I’d rather not. 😲

Let’s talk about more fun things. Australian Bodycare contacted me again to ask me to write a review about their intimate shaving kit. 😍

https://australian-bodycare.com/products/femi-shaving

Who are they?

Australian Bodycare has been a frontrunner for skincare products since 1992. Since then, they have adhered to the same ideas as they were founded on:

Providing the best skincare solutions and helping people achieve a better quality of life.

What's inside the kit?

Inside are 3 products that work against red razor bumps, spots, and ingrown hairs after shaving. The shaving kit contains an intimate wash, a shave gel, and an aftershave balm. All 3 products are pH-balanced and contain natural Australian Tea Tree Oil. The products are made from natural, active ingredients approved by our cosmetic science team.

What is Tea Tree Oil?

The secret behind smooth skin is found in the beautiful, exotic flora of Australia and has been known to the aboriginals through generations. Tea Tree Oil is a 100% natural and pure oil extracted from the leaves of the Australian tree, Melaleuca Alternifolia. Our products only contain the high pharmaceutical grade of Tea Tree Oil from Australia.

What are the Tea Tree Oil benefits?

Tea Tree Oil effectively heals, cleanses, and protects your skin and hair. Natural Tea Tree Oil is known for its powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties. Tea Tree Oil restores the natural bacterial flora of the skin and prevents bacteria. Australian Bodycare products contain Pure Tea Tree Oil in different concentrations depending on the product's use.

What does it do in the long run?

Used on a daily basis, the Tea Tree Oil treats various skin problems while keeping the skin healthy. Tea Tree Oil inhibits the growth of unwanted bacteria and fungus. Australian Bodycare develops all of their own products using top‑shelf ingredients and the products are dermatologically tested and have a powerful effect with no compromise made to the safety of the skin.

How to use the Shaving Kit?

Step 1: Use Intim Wash before shaving to remove bacteria that can lead to red spots and ingrown hair.
Recommended use: Every time before shaving or waxing.

Step 2: While shaving use Intim Shave, a specially formulated shaving gel, to minimize red spots and ingrown hair.
Recommended use: For best results use Intim Shave every time you are shaving.

Step 3: After shaving or waxing. Apply Intim Balm with circular movements onto the desired area. Leave it on and allow it to fully absorb, enjoy a complete soothing and smoothing experience.
Recommended use: For best results, use Intim Balm every time after shaving or waxing.

What did I think?

Intimate Wash

This is the largest tube of the 3 because both men and women can use it daily. I wasn't expecting the product to ooze out the way it did, so if you decide to buy this product, be careful when you open it. I am not a big fan of the scent of this product, but it's not that strong and not highly disturbing either. On the positive, it was nice and refreshing. 

Intimate Shave Gel?

The Shaving Gel is transparent and not that tick, which makes the razor glide easily over the skin. I have never tried to use gel for this, but it makes perfect sense, because men never shave their faces dry either. 

Intimate Balm

I can't say that I don't feel my skin has had a shave, but it's a lot less than usual. My skin feels great and significantly calmed.

The entire process takes longer than usual, but I would say it is definitely worth it. If men can have shaving foam, then it's only fair that we get our shaving kit too. 😎

Read my previous blog about them if you are interested to know about their hair care treatment against itchy scalp https://seadbeady.blogspot.com/2021/03/tea-tree-oil-for-hair-care-do-you.html

Where To Find a Fun Gift For Dad - HemdVoorHem - Happy Men's Socks

Hi There..... Do you still need a gift for father’s day? What would you think of some men’s socks as a gift for dad? 

Bad Idea? No, not just an ordinary pair of men’s socks, of course. I was definitely thinking of something a lot more fun. Not just plain black or white, but some cool and colorful men’s socks. 😊

Ah, I know what you are thinking. Does she also have a fun story up her sleeve about plain socks? Of course, I do. What did you think?  😉

This week’s trip down memory lane is about my time in high school, about 40 years ago. It was a time when wearing a uniform was not at all out of the ordinary. 😇

Our uniform consisted of a light blue blouse, a navy blue pleated skirt, and long white socks that came just below the knee, and navy blue shoes. The school was pretty strict. They wouldn’t let us walk around with rolled-up sleeves or sagged socks. The teachers would do regular checks to make sure we followed the rules. 😏

I recall a springtime when it was so hot. One girl had gotten the idea to roll up her socks. The teachers didn’t notice, so by noon almost half of us had followed her example. 😁

I guess it caught the eye of our headmistress, though. She scared the wits out of us when she came running out of her office. Her face was all red in anger, telling us all to pull up our socks right away. Can you guess what happened? 😬

Not much. We were all very much afraid of her, so we pulled up our socks in no time. 😨

Time to tell you more about the fun gift I received from HemdVoorHem in exchange for my honest opinion. 😍

Before I can share my thoughts, you need to know that the Happy socks in the boxes from HemdVoorHem are made of combed cotton. Uh, no, it doesn't mean you should comb them every day before wearing them. Let me share with you some information I found on jingsourcing.

What is combed cotton?

Combed cotton, literally is combed, leaving long, straight cotton fibers only by removing short fibers and impurities to make the fabric stronger and softer. It is a very soft version of cotton, making combed cotton very suitable for sensitive skin. 

It also pills less than regular cotton and is also more durable. It dries easily, is more absorbent, and is anti-odor.

What did I think?

These 2 pairs of socks were in my gift box. Don't you just love them? I don't see why men's socks can't be fun. They are made at calf's length from combed cotton. You could feel that especially the inside is a lot softer than regular socks. 😍

On top of that you get a famous Tony's Chocolonely bar, what more could you want. I can't promise I am not going to steal them from my hubby. 😂
