My family has always been healthy obsessed with low inflammation diets like SCD, gluten free, and the AIP diet. From getting made fun of at school for my mom packing me organic Cheetos, to thanking my mom for always making me healthy conscious my love language is healthy food now. I am always on a personal mission to make eating healthy taste absolutely delicious. This year my mom and I have been really learning how to eat to balance our hormones, if you didn’t know there are different food that is better at different times of the month that link up to your mensural cycle. Following this and a work out routine to your hormones you would be amazed how much better your body feels following this advice. Also, juicing is huge part of our lifestyle, drinking just 8 oz of freshly pressed juice a day my skin looks unreal and the glow is so noticeable. Am I perfect, no! Food is so tempting and sometimes I am too lazy to get my juicer out! I can tell you my quality of life, energy, and glow to my skin is always better when I am being active about my health.
This is our favorite anti-aging routine for someone looking to have better skin over night. Overnight masking entails apply a mask that you can wear overnight to aid in the healing process of your skin while you slumber. Brighter, smoother, more hydrated skin is just the first few things you will notice in the morning. I am convinced that if you just cleanse your skin and apply an overnight mask....that's the only night time routine you need.
Gua sha has been known to improve circulation in your skin by increasing blood flow and draining your lymphatic system to remove built up toxins and fluid in your skin. Gua sha just 3 minutes a day, preferably best at night time with your favorite facial oil. The best way to reduce forehead wrinkles is to actually work the gua sha into the hair line! From the eye brow going up into the hair line a few inches. There are meridians that run through the forehead that actually go into the scalp. Remember to be gentle and not aggressive.
If we could carry these wrinkle patches in our online shop we would. However, they do not offer wholesale to any retailers at the moment, but we love that it is another woman owned business that will erase your desire to even get botox. We love you guys and want you to have the information you need to age gracefully. Also, this will only cost you under $30 for a box of 144 patches! Insane right! Frownies Facial Patches are made from skin-safe adhesive paper that can be cut to a desired size and shape so you can tackle the horizontal rows across the forehead and the 11's in between the eyebrows simultaneously. They help freeze the facial muscles during use, preventing expression lines from deepening into wrinkles and keeping the skin smooth. If you have heard about the benefits of mouth taping it's kinda like that but for your wrinkles. It trains your forehead not to scrinch up. We active them with water, a Laurel toner, Agent Nateur toner or even our Indie Lee Toner will do the trick. Stick them on and sleep with them a few nights a week after the 30 day forehead reset if you have deep fine lines and wrinkles.
Thank you guys so much for checking out this blog post and we hope it helps you in your pro-aging journey! If you have any questions or want a custom anti-aging routine to your budget, skin concern, and needs DM us on social media or email us hello@poppyavenue.com!

Final thoughts: I LOVE this mixed in with the Kosas Revealer Foundation to add that pearl look to your makeup. I would recommend to anyone who likes a sun-lit glow to purchase a bronzing shade to use for summer as a liquid bronzer and apply it with a brush or sponge. I used shade Awaken for the bronzing glow! For a stark highlight apply a pump on your hand and use a sponge to swipe on tops of cheeks and nose for that glaze ethereal skin look. I love that this looks like shimmer but not like 5 year old GLITTER on your skin. If you need any help selecting a shade shoot us a dm on social, or contact us via our email @ hello@poppyavenue.com! Shop Glow IV here, I can't wait to hear what you think ✨

However what if companies like Kylie were using ingredients you do not want on your skin let alone gluing like a second layer. Clove and Hallow Lip Velvets are made with just 15 or fewer ingredients per formula (we're talking ingredients you can actually read), it's both beautiful and natural. One swipe is all it takes for full pigment. With 15 or fewer ingredients per formula base, these rich lipsticks are lightweight on your lips and better for your overall health.

First upon ordering your class you will reviece a digital download for the shopping list as a guide on what to "bring with you" to watch the class. It's okay if you do not have all the products listed. In the videos description I also talk about substitutions you may have on hand.

In this part of the video we also cover brows and cheek products before moving on to eyes. I wanted to separate the two videos so if you found more value in one of the videos verses the other you could just watch one over the other for replay purposes.
Part 2 of the video is a 30 minute master class dedicated to all eyes and lips. In this part of the video I am recreating my favorite eye shape to head to an event a cool tone matte eye. Bronzed and golden eyes have had their moment for a long time and in this video you will play on the softer side of neutrals for a classic look. Personally, I love shimmer and shine on the eyes for everyday so having a classic matte eye for an event makes me feel like I am doing something a little different than the norm. Also, in this video we are focusing on creating a bigger lid space which is ideal for people with hooded eyes or for anyone looking to create a bigger brighter looking eye.

Inkling scents just released strawberry freckles a strawberry champagne perfume that will make you feel like the main character in a sweet summer romance.
]]>How did this scent come about, well a customer reached out to us about not finding a clean swap for a perfume she was using and the main note was strawberry. We reached out to our favorite organic natural perfume formulator Tiffany from Inkling and asked if she has ever thought about creating such a scent. As it turns out she had a recipe never been released before, and she sent us a bottle to see if it lived up to the inkling standard of a totally unique and alluring scent.
From the first smell we knew this summer scent was special. Think of smelling like indie lees brighting cleanser with the sparkle of champagne and the freshness of a summer field. This nostalgic scent feels playful, bubbly, and spontaneous. The scent hits you with warm, sweet strawberry, followed by fizzy champagne. Black currant, chamomile and aloe vera round out and support the top notes, making it last on you for hours. This fresh, fruity scent is inviting and happy, drawing in those around you and opening your energy for that uplifting summer light.
Feel like you are cheating on Poppy fields? None sense! Strawberry freckles is only here for a limited time only. We like to think of Strawberry Freckles as Poppy Fields best friend with a cool summer beach house-fun and seasonal 😍🍓 Snag yours before they are gone!
]]>We get this question a lot in store and it is what is the difference between natural perfume and synthetic fragrance perfume that is on the market today? Today, on the poppy blog we are being transparent about why it is important to switch to natural perfume and all the benefits beyond the lack of unknown chemicals rolling around in your roll on perfumes.
]]>Let's start with what is in most perfumes today. Unfortunately, perfumes, body sprays, floating in makeup, skin care and even your hair care is an ingredient called "Fragrance." Fragrance defined by the FDA as a combination of chemicals that give each scent its unique profile. Most fragrances are derived from petroleum bases, and the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) lists 3,059 materials that are reported as being used in fragrance concoctions. Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a national coalition of health and environmental groups, tested a group of celebrity perfumes, teen perfumes, and even luxury perfumes and found of 17 fragranced products they averaged fourteen secret chemicals per bottle. Check out the full article, here.
Beyond even the ingredients chemical perfumes are designed to smell the same on everyone. For example when you smell someone and they walk in the room you can recognize the scent. It is why you can sometimes even smell on clothes, what laundry detergent someone is using. There have been times I can smell that someone is using Tide laundry detergent or Gain even when they walk by.
Natural perfumes on the other hand is what you see is what you get like lavender oil, fir oil, floral oils, spices, and natural forms of musk like sandalwood and pepper. Natural perfumes are formulated with real ingredients not chemical makeup ups to smell like oranges. The same can be said about eating a cherry flavored product verses the unbeatable and juicy texture of eating a real cherry. The flavor or smell in this instance can just not be replicated. Additionally, Natural perfumes are designed to smell different on everyone, the oils and ingredients will alter beautifully with your body temperature and skin to give you a truly unique scent. Using a natural perfume will bring a very romantic and alluring presence to your persona by radiating a scent that is truly you. Therefore, when you walk by people they notice you smell good and they are not detecting a mass produced fragrance with brand name recognition. Additionally oils will also have an aromatherapy effect like a citrus blend will be uplifting to your mood, fir oils will be grounding scents, and rose scents will be heart healing and boost your confidence.
Shop our line of natural perfumes online with us and find your favorite scent. We love that Inkling offers small mini roll ons so you can travel with them or try out multiple roll ons to switch up your scent. Another great way to try out an array of natural perfumes is our two sample packs to find your favorite. Shop the sample packs here.
]]>Here is a round up of our favorite clean beauty mascaras and swaps we have from conventional brands you may be avoiding. Mascara is one of the top and first makeup swaps for our customers come in store or consult us online. A few reasons people make the switch is having allergic or skin reactions to conventional mascaras, or seeking to avoid specific ingredients due to safety concerns.
]]>1. The first swap is for Two Faced Better Than Sex Mascara for the Lily Lolo Big Lash Mascara in our clean beauty bar! The Two Faced Better Than Sex Mascara ranks a 9 on the Think Dirty App scale for containing "red" level ingredient polyester-11, which is known to have carcinogenic effects. Additionally, it contains "yellow" level ranked ingredients such as PVP, and black 2. The waterproof formula from Two Faced also contains Talc, which is a known ovarian cancer carcinogen. Our swap to still get those big lashes, while ditching those ingredients is the Lily Lolo Big Lash Mascara. You still get to enjoy the hourglass wand and big voluminous lashes. If you are huge volume fan, and if you like that spidery buildable lash you can keep layering this formula to your desired thickness and volume.
Poppy pro tip flip the wand to the smaller ball point to go into separate and uplift the lashes after coating using the wand horizontally.
2. If you have been a Lancome lover for your life, you are going to be surprised to find a mascara that feels familiar but even exceeds your expectations with our Sappho Mascara. Lancome scores anywhere between a 5-8 for formulations on the thinkdirty app. Their formulations still contain parabens, BHT, and PEG's. Meet your new go-to mascara Sappho Maximum Intensity Vegan Mascara. Enjoy a formula that is a happy mascara like most clean beauty mascaras. While it may not be a swimming mascara or tear proof, it is ideal for everyday life! You will fall in love the the super tiny lash-defining-comb-like mascara wand that never leaves you lashes clumpy. This is an ideal mascara for someone looking for length and very soft volume.
3. For the budget friendly clean beauty mascara is the swap for a Loreal Voluminous Mascara would be the Lily Lolo Natural Mascara. Loreal still formulates with parabens, and Imidazolidinyl Urea. According to the thinkdirty app "Imidazolidinyl Urea is an ingredient that allows chemicals to penetrate deeper into the skin. This ingredient can cause an increase risk for contact dermatitis and known to release formaldehyde which has known carcinogenic effects." An ideal swap for a budget friendly clean beauty mascara is Lily Lolo Natural Mascara. This mascara from Lily Lolo unlike its Big Lash Sister will give you a more soft doe-eyed mascara look with volume.
5. While Tarte use to be a "cleaner" dubbed brand, in recent years, their formulas have proven the companies use of greenwashing to appeal to conscious consumers while selling them a formula opposite of their claims. Their mascara lights camera lashes and other Tarte products contain some yellow and red level ingredients according to the think dirty app like PEG's, chlorphenesin, and parabens. Swap to an our ATHR big bang mascara that not only is making strides to be the most eco friendly makeup line but with ingredients that are out of this world! This mascara is the ultimate lash maximizing, black-diamond-infused mascara that truly does it all for out-of-this-world length, volume, curl, and definition. Literally, coating you lashes with black diamonds 😍✨
