♥ play smart, play safe with block island organics.

in highschool, my bestfriends and i would have sleepovers where we would watch romcoms,

play games like truth or truth (who likes dares??), and eat delicious snacks. when it came time

to change into our pajamas, each girl would take her turn washing her face in the bathroom.

all except me. i went to bed with a face of half-worn off makeup, and by morning the other

half had always magically disappeared!

while i am still known to do that every now and again-( hello, motherhood!) i am proud to

 report that my skincare routine has become alot more sophisticated as an adult woman.

this definitely begins with quality products- like this purifying facial cleanser from

local, family-owned company- block island organics.

this cleanser works well alone or with my faux clarisonic (ha!), lathers with even just the

teeniest squirt from the bottle, and leaves my face feeling fresh and not dry. i LOVE that

 the natural ingredients are pretty easy to pronounce (hello rosehip! marigold!

 and coconut!), that its paraben-free, without those fake flowery smells, 

and is made without animal testing!

block island organics' belief is that good skincare starts with good sun-care, 

for both day and night-which is why they offer natural sunscreens to protect during

daytime hours and organic cleansers and moisturizers to refresh and rejuvenate after 

the sun has gone down. i appreciate this company's commitment to educating 

consumers about sun-protection as well as their truthfulness regarding

what goes into making their products! talk about coming clean! :)
