I change up routines with the seasons. Depending on the weather, my hair and skin need different things. Here's what I've scrounged up for spring, and right now I'm loving all of them:
Renpure Originals Shampoo
Ya'll know that I love my Organix Coconut for when I don't have time for
baking soda, but recently I've noticed that when I wash with it my hair gets oilier and limper earlier than it used to. I was talking to a friend and she said that the reason for this is that your hair gets used to whatever shampoo you're using, so it doesn't clean as well over time. I'd been using Organix almost exclusively for a year, so that explanation definitely made sense!
I picked this guy up at Kroger and I'm loving it so far. It's dye, sulfate, and paraben free, and leaves my hair nice and fluffy. There's also a coordinating conditioner that I haven't tried (I usually only use deep conditioner), but if it's anywhere near as good as the shampoo you'll love it.

True Blue White Tea and Apricot Scrub
This is probably the most gentle exfoliator I've found. It leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed, and using it in conjunction with my baking soda and honey routine hasn't messed up my skin in the slightest. My skin can get dull, and this gives it the kick it needs to get all that dead skin off and increase circulation to brighten me up.

Rinse Squalene Oil
In addition to dull, my skin can get really dry. I had a hard time finding a moisturizer that didn't make me break out, but this one is a winner. Squalene oil is really close to the oil your skin naturally makes, so it doesn't clog your pores. It also isn't heavy and sinks in fast, so you look glowy and pretty rather than greasy.

Nude Nail Polish
I'm a dark nail polish girl most of the time, but around spring and summer I try to lighten it up. Nude nails are my favorite, and this polish (Sally Hansen insta-dri Petal Pusher) looks good on almost all skin tones.

Fresh Picked Lip Butter
I'm usually not into lip gloss in the little pots, but this one is too pretty to pass up. It's super moisturizing, comes in lots of pretty, yummy flavors, and has a pretty wash of luminizing color with no shimmer, which is a kicker for me. I personally like the Pink Passion Fruit one because the pink color looks good alone or over lipstick, but there's a red strawberry and peach-colored peach (go figure) one to choose from too.
