This has been such a busy week for me. I have not had an opportunity to post during the last week. Sorry guys. It’s been a busy week with work and church, I have not had much free time. Also, last month, I purchased a new 15 inch MacBookPro. I have been wanting one of my own for while since I have been using one at work for the past five years. I finally had an opportunity to get one for myself and I loved it. Apple has its own photo editing software, Aperture, and I have been playing around with the free trial that was offered. I have spent much of my time watching video tutorials and experimenting with its many features. It is a great software, however there is a learning curve. So far in the 12 days I have had been using Aperture, it is very professional and a level up from Picasa. I still use Picasa occasionally; but I want to see how I can edit my pictures in Aperture and it has proven to be really good. I am still a newbie; but what I see so far, it is awesome.

On to the review
I have wanted to try skin-care products from Michelle Howard, the creator of Blended Naturals for a while. I finally got the chance to place an order earlier in the month. I really love that she is an advocate for natural products that do not contain fake ingredients like methyparaben, propyyparaben, etc. She shares about the evil ingredients on her website. This information is so helpful, because many times we think that are favorite products are great. However, we need to look at the list of ingredients to see if they have any real health benefits.
Blended Naturals
Doesn’t the packaging look so pretty. My package arrived USPS mail in a timely manner.
The Tea Tree and Peppermint foot scrub smells so good. When I took my bath, I mixed the oil with Dead Sea Salts to create the foot scrub and massaged my feet.

My feet felt so soft that I really didn’t need to add any lotion afterwards.
Tea Tree & Peppermint Foot Scrub
I used the Organic Mud soap when taking my bath. It soothed and relaxed my body. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a spa-like moment while in the tub. I purchased the 100% Natural Organic Shea Peppermint Lip Butter. Wow! It was amazing. I need to buy the other five varieties. I am hooked on these lip butters. The peppermint tube will be in my purse from now on. I need to purchase more so I can have one on my nightstand, one at my desk at work, and a couple for backups. Tip: It’s really good to put some shea butter lip butters on your lips at night time because your lips will be so soft and moisturized in the morning.
I had a couple of other items from my purchase that was on back order. They arrived yesterday. I will post a review after I use them. I highly recommend Michelle Howard’s Line of Blended Naturals. Her customer service is wonderful and I really enjoy using her products. Take a look at her website because she has some great products to offer you.
This looks incredible, I will definitely take a look at these. I recently found an apricot scrub for feet that made me want to go barefoot all day my feet felt so gorgeous.
The packaging is gorgeous, so simple and chic.

I really need to try a foot scrub. With all this working out I’ve been doing, they are looking kind of beat up!! Let me know how all the products work with this line. Also congrats on the new computer. I’m still a PC girl, but maybe one day I’ll try out a MAC. I’ve had adobe photoshop on my computer for years, and it’s so overwhelming all the stuff it can do, that I’m still learning…definitely need tutorials off of youtube to do anything on there! haha

Hi Shasie,
The foot scrub is really nice and Michelle says that you don’t have to mix the scrub with the oil anymore it’s all together. Michelle is so gracious to offer a coupon code REVIVE for a discount on your order.
Those tutorials do come in handy.

Hi Tamaki-
Thank you for your purchase and your review. I’m glad you like the products. And here’s the good news: The scrubs are now premixed so need to mix them yourself!
All you have to do is store them in a cool place and you’re good to go.
Your photo clarity is wonderful. I’ve always struggled with taking photos that come out super clear. What’s your secret?
I also have a Macbook Pro 15 in. Love it!! Mine is a little under a year old. I got it last August but even I wasn’t aware of Aperture. Now, I’m going hunting for it 🙂
I absolutely love the Mac. I’ll never buy a PC again! And yes watching Youtube videos helps so much. You can learn just about anything.
Last of all, if anyone wants to try any of the products, please feel free to use coupon code REVIVE for a discount.
You are welcome, the products are great. You are so kind to offer a discount, thank you so much!
Picture clarity secret
I edit my photos so it takes me a little time because I want them to look crisp. Picasa does a good job. I am learning aperture and to me it seems more professional. I am really liking aperture.
Girl you got a MAC too! Well you know what I am talking about. PC what, I am loving the MAC too can’t you tell. I use a MAC at work so I knew they were the bomb!
Thank you again for the lovely discount, I hope my readers will take advantage of it.

Yes girl I know it! I will never buy a pc again!
I still have to get on that eperture. Difficulty finding time for “tutoring” myself. I’ve back and forth to the doctor’s/hospital with my son….Seizures. But thank God he is doing much better.
Will keep you, your son and your family in my prayers. Glad he is doing better.
I know you’re loving your pc because my husband has had his for about a year now and is still in love with it. He is an IT specialist studying for his masters and speaks very highly about that pc.
And great review (your awesome!), I will definitely treat myself to these products very soon.
Hi Sabina,
I think you mean my MAC short for Macintosh (Apple). Congrats to your husband for getting his Masters.
Thank you and please take advantage of the wonderful discount that Michelle gave us. The code is REVIVE.
