A few months ago I decided it was time to find a new shampoo since my old one wasn’t cutting it. Three things I was looking for was high-quality, organic, and something my husband would use too. I stumbled across Tonic Hair Care and was super excited to see the company was in my own backyard and their products were geared towards those who love to spend their time in the water and still want healthy hair and skin which can be difficult with the wear and tear of salt and chlorine. Also, their hair care line is non-toxic and environmentally friendly which is key. I contacted the founder of Tonic Hair Care, Lauren Otonicar, and she graciously offered up some product for us to tryout and to giveaway. We were given both the Threesome Tonic and the Luster Tonic and Simple and Posh likes to use products for a few weeks before giving our honest opinion so here goes. Tonic is fabulous.

The Threesome Tonic is a 3-in-1 product, meaning a shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The scent is very neutral with just a hint of peppermint and tea tree oil and barely leaves the fresh smell behind after washing. The lather is there but it’s not too big. A definite sign of a quality product. The true test was how the hair felt after a few days in the pool and Tonic restored the moisture in both my locks and skin. Not to be too graphic but some hair products build up nasty gunk in your scalp and Tonic does the opposite and truly cleanses it. My husband used Threesome Tonic after a couple surf sessions and agreed with me on how great it works and it’s definitely neutral enough for guys and gals. An 8 oz bottle is $12 and well-worth the price. One at home and one in the gym/beach/pool bag, and you’re set. It’s not only a good product but multi-functional which we love at Simple and Posh.

The second product we used was the Luster Tonic and I’m addicted to this stuff. Seriously addicted. It’s a spray leave-in conditioner made with aloe vera and grapeseed oil and it has UV inhibitors to prevent damage from the sun, chlorine, and salt. It can also be used as a moisturizer and it smells sooo good that you will ditch all of your other lotions and crèmes. Again, it’s gender neutral and guys, you won’t be smelling girly. It really just smells like summertime and don’t you want to smell like summer all of the time? The Luster Tonic works awesome if you spray it in your hair before a day at the pool or beach. One of the things salt water does to my hair is create massive tangles and the Luster Tonic prevented this from happening. Tonic Hair Care products are geared towards those who spend time in the sun and water but I really think the Luster Tonic is a must-have for everyone who just wants an excellent leave-in conditioner and the fact that it’s an awesome skin moisturizer is just a bonus. $14 for an 8 oz. bottle of good stuff.

We love the story of how Lauren created Tonic to help give back to the environment and Tonic products are free of parabens, sulfates, animal by-products, and are not tested on animals. I am very careful on what I use on our baby and I feel completely comfortable lathering our little one up with Tonic. It’s the season of vacations to the shore, swim lessons for the kiddies, and long surf sessions and we want to hook you up with your own Threesome Tonic and Luster Tonic. The giveaway ends Tuesday, June 15th at 11:59 PST. There are 7 ways to win.

You know the saying, go to Target for one thing and come home with ten. Okay, well it might not really be a saying but it’s something that happens to me all of the time and it happened yesterday. The good news is that what I walked away with was a super comfy and adorable pair of summertime pajamas for only $9. The Gilligan & O’Malley Pajama Set has the same quality as some of my brand name sleepwear and held up well after a spin in the washing machine. The set comes in three colors, Honeydew and Cream Stripe, Starlet Pink, and Picasso Blue and I think I need to grab the other two colors to complete my nighty-night collection. These are also really good birthday gifts for your gal pals and you can buy a few up now and give them throughout the year. The sale on these ends on Saturday and when you buy online, spend $50 on this or lots of other good stuff and get free shipping.

Last week Simple and Posh told everyone about Origins’ Earth Day giveaway where you bring in an empty container from your current skincare routine and they would exchange it for a full-size Checks and Balances or A Perfect World facial cleanser. I went with the Checks and Balances for combination skin and I’m really happy with the results. The recommended use is once in the morning and once at night, which is what I’ve been doing, and after each washing I feel like I don’t even need moisturizer. Broad Leaf Kelp and Wheat Protein help with controlling oil and moisturizing dry areas respectively. The scent is light and pleasant and I love the spearmint for the A.M. wakeup. The lavender helps calm the skin and me after a long day. Overall, the “Balance” in this cleanser is absolutely spot on and it’s well-worth spending the money on this wash. Since you only need to use a small amount, one tube of Checks and Balances will last you three months which comes out to be about $6 a month, an awesome deal for a premium product. Origins not only helped the Earth by recycling my old moisturizer but they gained a new customer.

I discovered Alaska Glacial Mud Co. when I was scouting out new products for a spa day at home and really wanted to try their Mud Masque. I was born and raised for part of my childhood in Alaska and I know how pure the air and water is there so I figured a facial mask made from the clean earth of the Last Frontier would be a healthy treat for my skin. I contacted Alaska Glacial Mud Co. and they were awesome enough to send me the Vanilla-Lavender Mud Masque and an application brush to try out. The Mud Masque is made from the clay of the Copper River Delta which is the largest contiguous wetland on the Pacific Coast of North America and is home to gorgeous wildlife like bald eagles, moose, bears, and salmon. The Mud Masque also contains organic goodies like kelp, elderflower, cranberry and blueberry and is fortified with Vitamin E and B5. Each of these ingredients do different things such as moisturize, regenerate, and soothe. There are no parabens or synthetics so it is safe for your body. After I put the little one down for the night, I used the application brush to apply the mask and left it on for the instructed 15 minutes. Even though the mask was dry when it came time to remove it, my face wasn’t frozen like a lot of masks tend to do which was nice. When washing it off, the tiny granules of the clay exfoliate your skin so you’re not only getting the hydration of the clay but you’re also removing the dry, old layers. I have normal but sensitive skin and it didn’t cause any irritation (made sure to do a test patch first!) and after patting my face dry I noticed an immediate improvement in the softness of my skin and a healthy pink tone in my cheeks. I definitely felt a tightening in my pores which is always a good thing. I tend to breakout after using a new facial product but two days later my skin still has the rosy glow and feels super smooth and I have no irritations to report. I also applied it to my hands which became really chapped from the dry weather and it worked wonders on healing my cracked skin. The Mud Masque from Alaska Glacial Mud Co. is a natural and purifying product that should be added to everyone’s beauty routine. Besides having a great product, Alaska Glacial Mud Co. is another wonderful company Simple and Posh likes to promote due to its mission and message. They contribute 10% of their profits (that’s a lot!) to the preservation of the wilderness and culture as well as habitat restoration, environmental education, and sustainable community development. My favorite line in their mission statement is simply stated, “We love our earth and our community.” They also encourage you to visit their website to find out more about their environmental sustainability practices. By buying a product you’ll love, you’re also supporting the protection of the environment and the gorgeous land of Alaska.
