My New Website

I have been extremely busy these past few week building my new company Bernees Naturals and the website http://www.berneesnaturals.com/, that I have not had a lot of time to write. Although I've been busy, I am still getting in my workouts and eating healthy. Unfortunately yesterday I did have a Lindor chocolate truffle binge. I ate way too many truffles, but that was yesterday and now I must move on.

Bernees Naturals is my new project! I've been using and creating natural products since my teens. I am a night owl and during the summer months I would stay up reading almost every book in my parent's house. I read all of mom's Harlequin Romance novels and after a while I figured out that they were all the same plot, just different characters, so I moved on to read my mom's herbal remedies/cures and self help books. My mother had all these books about natural facial masks and basically things in your refrigerator for facials, natural moisturizers, conditioners etc, that you can use instead of purchasing all those store packaged products. For example, I made yogurt masks from natural homemade yogurt (of course my mother also had a yogurt maker), the yogurt mask is one of my favourites and is excellent for dry winter skin.

I am a big believer of natural and organic products and foods. I avoid artificial and processed foods and products as much as possible. When I purchase foods, as well as products I put on my skin, I read the ingredients. What I've often noticed is that there is so often so little of the ingredient in the product although the product may be given the product name. For example, a bottle of "Cocoa Butter Lotion" may have cocoa butter at the bottom of the ingredients list. I am not sure why manufacturers are allowed to do that?
My products contain no artificial preservatives, or parabens and are full of stuff that's good to put on your body and looks good enough to eat. For example, my kiwi/mango scrub looks and smells like kiwi but my products are NOT edible! I also have a cocoa butter lotion, Shea body butter, mango body butter, and a conditioning hair creme. Feel free to visit http://www.berneesnaturals.com/ to learn more about my products!

Train Hard and Live Healthy!
