Commentary from the blogosphere:

It's Time for a Change!

Over the past several years, I've developed a real passion about life, health, and a pursuit of happiness...but mostly about health. I done lots of researching on health food products, herbs, nutrition as well as watched my share of tv informercial about "health products". I've recently been on a quest for finding products that are supposedly certified organic beauty products such as makeup and relaxers. I've spent money on products that really work and products that are a big fluff. Recently, I ordered some products from a company that claims to be certified organic but when I received the products, I looked on the back label and found that they were only maybe 70%, 80% or 90% organic and were "certified oganic by AOC". Does anyone know what the heck is AOC? These products were so perfumey smelling that I couldn't stand to use them...they literally made me ill to my stomach.

There is, however, one company out there that I've found to be tried, tested and true and it's called Terressentials. This company, I've found to have real morals and to be truly concerned with delivering "USDA certified organic" products. The products actually smell organic and not perfumey. I'd even thought about becoming an affiliate of the first company that I'd mentioned until I tried the products and couldn't consciously affirm that decision based on my use of the products. Please be advised that I'm not selling Terressentials either because they do not have an affiliate program - at least not at this time. They are a small company with B-I-G competition but I believe that by delivering products that people expect to receive as organic when they buy them will carry this company well into the future. They are really onto something. It will take intelligent consumers like you and me to "weed out" the fakers!

The reason that I'd decided, in the first place, to buy certified organic products is because I'd grown tired of going to my local retailer and buying products that actually stripped the moisture from my skin or added so many dog gone chemicals to the products that it made me sick to read their back panels. I was just tired of paying people, companies, to literally kill me. I said 'no more'!!! I got angry - I mean really mad and I came home and got on my computer and did some research which is how I finally found Terressentials. I know that there's someone out there who have gone through these same emotional feelings.

What we use on our skin, in our hair and in our mouths should closely mimic what we put in our bellies. These products should be as safe as the food we eat.
