Project Glow and Product Reviews

by Julie @savvyeats on February 11, 2010

According to The Knot, there are only 108 days left until the wedding! Since I want to have gorgeous, glowing skin on my wedding day, and my skin is currently experiencing the winter-blah blues, I decided to take on Angela’s Project Glow challenge!

I gathered all my supplies:

I made a few modifications from Angela’s original plan.

  • I will only be using the St. Ive’s scrub on my face. On my body, I will be using the Polished Organics Vanilla Salt Scrub. I don’t know why I haven’t been using this consistently lately…this stuff is great! This will probably only be used 3-4 times a week, since my skin is so sensitive.
  • I will be alternating the St. Ive’s scrub with my Desert Essence facial cleaner. Again, my skin is too sensitive to use the scrub every day!
  • I’ll be using both Coconut Oil and the Nivea lotion for moisturizing. I don’t want my half-full bottle of Nivea lotion to go to waste!

Bonus: By using the salt scrub and face wash, I am partially following Project Natural Glow, as well!

My skin actually doesn’t look that bad, and I contribute that at least partially to the fact that I have been drinking lots of green monsters and avoiding dairy for a few weeks already!

Check back at the end of March for my progress report!

While we’re on the subject, how about a Desert Essence facial cleaner review?

I’ve been using the Desert Essence facial cleaner for about two months now, and I LOVE it. It doesn’t get foamy like you’d expect, but my face feels so clear and clean after I use it. The smell is fabulous, and the face wash isn’t too strong for my sensitive skin! It also has a low, low rating of one on Skin Deep. I give it an A+ !

My other Project Natural Glow product reviews can be found here:

And finally, look what arrived for me in the mail the other day:

I won a jar of each of the Crofter’s Superfruit Spread flavors from Total Fit Girl. I have been wanting to try these for months, so I was super pumped when I won! So far, I’ve tried the Asia spread.

I don’t think I’ve ever had yumberries before, but I can now at least tell you that they are good mixed with cherries, grapes, and raspberries! Can’t wait to open up the other flavors!
