About Seponifiq:

Sharla’s passion for cooking began as a child, sitting on the kitchen counter in a cardboard box watching her mother decorate cakes. Although an introvert by nature, Sharla learned to express herself and her unique personality by creating food. She had a taste for the unusual, a quality that her father helped nurture at a young age. Growing up in Chowchilla and Dos Palos, two small towns in Central California, Sharla lacked access to new and exciting cuisine – excluding cheese enchiladas and “mojos” (fried potatoes smothered in cheese sauce) from her neighborhood joints! But quickly – and with an old Betty Crocker cookbook in hand – Sharla started to experiment.

With Mom at work and 17 miles of separation between home and “civilization,” Sharla began cooking in the early 90s and drew inspiration from faraway cooking shows on television. Though she had spent winters learning to speak Spanish in MazatlΓ‘n, Mexico and had cruised around the San Francisco Bay on her dad's boat, Sharla hadn't traveled much. Consequently, she found herself exploring the world and all the tastes that it had to offer through her family’s satellite TV.

Review: Elan Coconut Clay Charcoal Deodorant

I was recently given the chance to review Elan Coconut Clay Charcoal Deodorant. Elan deodorant harnesses the natural odor absorbing properties of activated charcoal to keep underarm odor away. The word "elan" means energy and enthusiasm which is a fitting name for this amazing deodorant that offers powerful odor protection even through the toughest of work outs! The deodorant is vegan and aluminum free.

 I love the the scent of this Elan deodorant. It's not very strong but has a lemon scent to it. It is blended with essential oils lemon and cajeput. 

I personally have only tried stick and roll on deodorants so this one was new for me. I applied a pea size each time I applied the deodorant. The color of the deodorant freaked me out since it is gray but it rubbed on clear. It did not leave my underarms sticky which I liked. I sweat like crazy so I was hoping this would be great for odor protection. I honestly had to reapply a few times to have the odor protection I was looking for. 

Overall, this deodorant was okay. If you sweat a lot then this may not be for you.

   Ingredients: tapioca starch*, coconut oil*, magnesium hydroxide, baking soda, shea butter*, bentonite clay, activated charcoal and essential oils (cajeput and lemon).

Review: Philip B. Oud Royal Thermal Protection Spray

As Hollywood's preeminent hair-treatment expert, Philip B. has garnered international praise for his visionary approach to hair, scalp and body-care treatments. His award-winning blends, all based on pure botanicals and essential oils at potent, unheard-of-in-the-industry concentrations, have dramatically changed the way the world perceives luxury care for hair and skin. I was recently given the chance to try Oud Royal Thermal Protection Spray.

Weightless, time-released hair perfume builds sexy texture, enhances shine and protects against damage from heated styling tools. Apply as a pre-styling primer to elevate shine and prevent breakage and split ends.

A sexy, lingering hair fragrance that plumps up your hair and shields it against the ravages of heat styling. A mix of botanical hydrators (Safflower Oleosomes, Mongogo Oil, Vitamin E and Sweet Almond Oil) and a potent L-Amino Acid Complex repairs fragile strands as it protects.
  • Strengthens hair with a potent L-Amino Acid complex and amino acids and condition it with botanical hydrators so light and tiny that they’ll never weigh you down
  • Light, seductive notes of Oud, encapsulated in tiny safflower oleosomes, gradually release over time for a lingering, follow-me scent
  • Detangles and shields hair from the scorch of hot styling tools. It also builds in sexy texture: supremely plump, bouncy and satiny-soft
  • Creates an invisible, weightless shield against the sun, chlorine and salt water
  • Sweet Blue Lupine Peptides offer superior color hold to keep color from fading or turning
  
My thoughts: 
I have long hair and I use my straightener and blow dryer on a regular basis. I know how important it is to protect my hair when using heat. This spray is wonderful. Its smells so good! The spray is lightweight and a little goes a long way. Since using this thermal protection spray my hair is so much softer, shinier, and looks so much healthier.  I LOVE it!

Review: emerginC grape stem cell, white tea+ seaweed body butter & emerginC coconut-argan body oil

EmerginC is a simple story of emerging. The journey began in 1996 with one of the most stable and effective vitamin C serums to emerge on the market. They had no formal marketing plan or even an office -- just a Manhattan studio apartment. But that didn't mean they couldn't emerge. The buzz about the product began to spread and emerginC started to grow by word of mouth. More products emerged -- two, then four, then eight, some amazing facials and body treatments -- and now they have approximately 80 products and a wide variety of cost-effective treatment options from both there emerginC signature and scientific organics ranges. All the while, they never compromised there commitment to quality and effectiveness. And they continue to emerge. I was recently given the chance to review emerginC grape stem cell, white tea+ seaweed body butter and emerginC coconut-argan body oil. 


This fresh-citrus-scented nourishing total body cream contains grape stem cells, spirulina, algae, green and white teas, shea butter, jojoba seed oil, vitamins A, C and E, palmariapalmata, pine bark extract and more to nourish, soothe and soften the skin.

My thoughts: 
I apply this lotion twice a day. I have noticed a huge difference in my skin since using. I tan/self tan and this has really helped keep my skin moisturized and soft. Its thick so a little goes a long way and its very easy to rub in. The only negative is the price, $45 for 200 ml. 

 
Luxurious body oil with 100% natural botanical extracts to help replenish and lock-in moisture for a radiant glow. In addition, helps soothe skin and repair free radical damage.

My thoughts: 
This body oil is awesome. I like to spray some on after a shower. I like to use it some days after tanning. It really has been a great post-sun body treatment. The only negative is the price, $54 for 180 ml.

Review: NuNaturals

I was contacted by Ron from NuNaturals a few months ago and he asked if I wanted to test a few of the company’s new products, I was glad to do it! I personally have never heard of  NuNaturals but I was eager to try the products. 


 NuNaturals is based in Oregon, and has been around for 25 years! Their products are all-natural, free of MSG, soy, milk, sugar, synthetics, artificial colors or flavors, saccharin, aspartame, sucralose and artificial sweeteners. While their flagship brand is Nustevia, a natural sweetener, the company also offers a variety of other products, including but not limited to green teas, gourmet vanilla extracts, and even pure ground cinnamon!
 When I received my box in the mail I was amazed at all the products he sent. Here is what Ron sent:
  • Nustevia Nocarbs Blend 100 packets
  • Nustevia Cocoa Syrup
  • Nustevia Cocoa Mint Syrup
  • Nustevia Simple Syrup
  • Nustevia Nocarbs Blend
  •  Nustevia Vanilla Alcohol Free
  • Nustevia Lemon Alcohol Free
  • Nustevia Orange Alcohol Free
  • Nugrain Oat Fiber
  • Nustevia Alcohol Free Glass
 I have tried a few stevia products in the past and they were bitter. I was so excited to try these products. I am very impressed with NuNaturals. I love using natural products without all the harsh chemicals. I use the orange and lemon syrup to flavor my water and it tastes so good. One thing I learned with these products is a little goes a long way. I love smoothies and bullet proof coffee. I would like to share a few recipes with you today!

Strawberry Banana Smoothie:
1 cup of ice
1 cup of chopped strawberries
1 banana 
1/2 can of diet 7up
sugar (I used the nocarbs blend packets)
 Put everything in the blender and blend until smooth!
 Bullet Proof Coffee:
10-12 oz black coffee
1 tablespoon of coconut oil
1 tablespoon of grass-fed butter
1/2 teaspoon of Nustevia vanilla alcohol free
1-2 drops of Nustevia alcohol free
Put everything into the blender and blend until smooth!

Review: Renew Life Ultimate Flora Probiotic

Did you know that you have roughly 10x more bacteria cells than human cells in your body? And that many of these bacteria live in our guts and are not only critical to our digestive and immune health, but also have a big impact on our overall health? Unfortunately, when your bacterial balance gets out of whack, you can feel tired, weighed down, bloated and constipated.
#1 Probiotic Brand - Ultimate Flora™
Renew Life™ knows about these issues all too well. A decade ago, we took digestive wellness to a whole new level with the introduction of Ultimate Flora™ Probiotics. Recognizing the incredible potential of probiotics to help restore balance to this robust bacterial landscape, we pioneered the development of high-potency, multi-strain formulas using the most prevalent and researched good bacteria found in a naturally diverse and healthy gut.*

By focusing on innovation and proven science, Ultimate Flora is now the #1 probiotic brand in health food stores and a leading probiotic brand in food, drug, and mass market retailers nationwide. I was sent a 10 day supply of Ultimate Flora Probiotic to sample for myself.
Review:  
Being a stay at home mom definitely has it advantages but I constantly lack energy. I have to wake up at 4:30 am each morning. Let's just say I am not a morning person but my husband and son depend on me. My husband is not a morning person so I wake up and prepare his breakfast and lunch. By 4:45 am  I am making sure he is dressed and out the door. My son rides the bus to school so I make sure he is up and out the door by 7:00 am. On top of doing all that I have a home to clean and laundry to do. You get my point right?? I am SOOOO tired most days. I was anxious to test the 10 day sample and see how it would work. After the second day I was amazed with the energy I had. By day 10 I felt like a different person. I had increased energy and less bloating. I have depression and I even noticed this helped with that. This product is amazing and I highly recommend for moms and dads!

Review: Maple Holistics Tea Tree Shampoo & Silk18 Natural Conditioner

Maple Holistics has one goal in mind: to provide a natural, holistic range of premium products which can enhance hygiene, health and daily living.

The formulaic composition of each product stands out in uniqueness, quality, and effectiveness. Only the purest and highest quality ingredients are used in each product, maximizing the therapeutic potential for each specific area of health. Some of the products offered include therapeutic shampoos, facial masks, bath soaks and more.  I received samples of their Tea Tree Shampoo and Silk18 Natural Conditioner.

Tea Tree Shampoo takes hair and scalp care to the next level with its advanced balanced formulation which nourishes the scalp and helps to reduce dandruff. The reduction of mild-to-moderate dandruff, clearing of scalp blemishes and the promotion of healthy hair growth are only some of the benefits this therapeutic shampoo offers. This product contains a unique combination of the highest quality natural ingredients and essential oils, carefully selected to ensure maximum efficacy.
 
Review:
My son and I have psoriasis on our scalp really bad. We have never used tea tree shampoo but have added the oil to our shampoo before. The only issue with that is the oil is very overpowering. I honestly know when my son has used it because he comes out of the bathroom smelling like it. The first thing I did was smell the bottle of shampoo. I am so happy it does not smell awful. The shampoo lathers very well. I massaged the shampoo into my scalp for a few minutes then rinsed. This shampoo works really well and has really helped my scalp. I have noticed less flakes and an irritated scalp since using this shampoo. 
Silk18 Natural Conditioner took years of dedicated to formulate a blend of conditioning agents which can maximize smooth hairness, have no potentially harmful additives, and be effective for all hair types. It is an all-in-one conditioner which contains a perfectly balanced synergy of nature’s most efficient conditioning ingredients to maximize moisture retention capacity for silky, flowing hair.
 
Review: 
 Conditioner is a MUST for my long hair. A huge plus for me is that this conditioner has no harmful additives. I love that after using this conditioner my hair was very easy to brush through. I seemed to have less tangles. The conditioner has a vanilla scent which I love! My hair has become much more manageable since using this conditioner. Its also super soft and silky! I love it!
