I had been looking for a cruelty free natural skin care range for a while, I happened to stumble across this NZ made range on Instagram. After following them for a while and seeing all of the positive comments from people I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Tailor Cleansing Duo which consists of an oil cleanse and a dry cleanse. I also purchased the Tailor Moisture. I received them very quickly in the post and they had even given me a complementary Tailor Moisture which was very kind. I used it straight away because I was really excited about receiving the products that day. I have to say I am already in love. The oil cleanse feels like it really nourishes the skin, I have never used any thing like it but I am convinced it is good. Next I used the dry cleanse which is good for exfoliating, my skin felt nice and soft after. I would strongly suggest to keep this dry cleanse bottle well away from water as it could ruin it if it all got wet. I keep mine in the bathroom cabinet as I am too paranoid to keep it in the shower. I will definitely be using this as my skin care from now on. I would like to try the Tailor Masque some time as well, it looks great and every one raves about it! If you are interested in buying this the website is below, it also has some good articles on beauty. http://tailorskincare.co.nz

I LOVE my new cold press Juicer, since upgrading to this I have been obsessed with juicing. It is so much easier than using a manual hand crank juicer. Now I can juice a lot more than wheatgrass and green leafy vege! This new purchase has given me another great reason to head to the farmers market on the weekend to stock up on fresh fruit and vege for juicing through out the week. The Oscar Vitalmax 900 juicer is so easy to assemble and use. It came with a 20 year warranty on its motor and 5 years on parts which is ideal, the site I ordered it from had really fast shipping too. This is not only a juicer it can also make sorbets, pasta, nut butters, baby food and more. I have yet to use the Oscar for this but when I do I will be sure to post a review!. To use this you just push the chopped up fruit/vege down the chute and the juice will come out the bottom into a container, it has a separate container for the waste. The waste pretty much comes out dry, I was really surprised with the difference of the waste that came out of my hand crank Lexen Healthy Juicer and this Oscar Juicer. The hand crank juicer is actually pretty good but the Oscar is so much better, but that's what you would expect with the price. I can't wait to make some juice cleanses, it will be so much cheaper than buying a juice cleanse from a shop.

I am not an expert reviewer, I would just like to share my thoughts and experiences on this particular juicer. The Lexen Healthy Juicer is great for its price. It is made of quality materials and it is very easy to clean. This is ideal for wheatgrass and green leafy veggies. It comes with all of the parts in the above photo, but not the green cup. It is manual so it doesn't require any electricity, this also means that it is quiet. I use mine every morning, it obviously takes a lot longer than an electric juicer as you have to wind the hand crank yourself. I guess if you are in a rush you could wind as fast as you possibly can. I just like to sit there and take my time. So you can place your wheatgrass and any other green leafy vege in the top, the juicer comes with a device that you used to push all of this down the chute so you don't get your fingers caught in it. I find that to get the juice flowing I need to alternate which way I wind, this may sound strange but it's the best way for me to get as much juice as possible. At first I found it hard to use and thought it was a pretty useless juicer, if you find this as well when you first start using it don't give up. Please give it a chance as you just need to find a way to make it work for you. Now that I have had a lot of practice it is actually so easy to use. I like that this is a cold press juicer which means more nutrients remain intact so it is more beneficial than the juice that would come from a centrifugal juicer. I would recommend this to any one that would like to add a shot of wheatgrass to their daily routine. Why should we drink wheatgrass? I get asked this all of the time! Here are a few reasons - It can boost energy - It is very detoxifying - Cleanses the blood - It sweetens your breath and is good for your gums Please refer to this great web page that has more in depth reasons http://hippocratesinst.org/wheatgrass/benefits-of-wheatgrass If you are interested in purchasing this juicer this is the website about it http://healthyjuicer.arcinnovate.com/healthy-juicer-manual.html
