Zakia's Morocco Beauty Review and Giveaway

A couple of days ago, I received an awesome product from Zakia´s Morocco The Moroccan Ghassoul Clay Mask


 The Moroccan Ghassoul Clay Mask is a natural and organic clay mined in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, and contains 100% pure Ghassoul. This product is an exceptional exfoliating and detoxifying mask that will leave your skin smooth.



Fist I have to say that I was really excited to review this brand because, a couple of weeks ago a friend was telling me about this awesome brand of natural products named Zakia's Morocco, so I was excited to the get the chance to try it.

The mask is perfect if you want your face to feel smooth and flawless. You must apply it and let it dry before taking it off. I totally recommend using it once a week for a perfect look. I try it on my face, body and hair, and I love that is 100% natural.

I love how my skin felt and looked after removing the mask, it felt tighter and clean and it look a little smoother. Also mix a small amount of powder in your favorite shampoo, wash and rinse. Super cleansing!

The Moroccan Ghassoul Clay Mask comes in a powder form, which means you have to mix it with water to get the right consistency. It was easy to mix and to apply.

About Zakira's Morocco


Zakia's Morocco is dedicated to beauty and  wellness of our friends and loyal customers.  Our beauty line is based upon ancient beauty treatments handed down over the centuries from Moroccan women to their daughters.

My native country of Morocco is well known for the art of the Hammam and Oriental beauty treatments. We are a privately owned and managed, family run business with operations in Morocco, France and the United States. We are majority owned by women.  We created this business after many discussions with friends, colleagues, family and others all of whom have one thing in common.  We are all looking for products of superior quality, that are safe to use, safe for the environment and even  provide social benefits.  Zakia's Morocco with our focus on Argan Oil production is able to do all this and more. 

Moroccan Argan Oil is being called nature's anti-aging skin product.  Indeed, it is so versatile it can be used for skin, hair, nails and even a delicious culinary delight.  Interestingly, Argan Oil is produced almost solely by women's cooperatives in Morocco and when purchasing this product you are directly assisting with the empowerment of local women groups.  The region is also protected under UNESCO as the Argan forest is slowly shrinking with the encroachment of the desert and other environmental stresses.   The trees are considered endangered and thus efforts are being taken to stave off the destruction of these ancient tree.  Visit our Argan Oil Properties page where we reference Wikipedia's extensive description of the history of this fascinating and ancient tree.  

Argan oil is expensive as most of the production process consists of women manually grinding the nuts into an oily paste and then extracting the oil.  This is a slow and time consuming process that the Berber women do by hand and in small groups. The selling of the product is coordinated by the cooperatives and sold through local markets.  

We are extremely proud of our employees who work tirelessly to ensure that our customers receive the very best advice and service. This is our mantra. We know that there are many other on-line and retail stores from which to buy products. However, we firmly believe that no one provides better or more helpful service. We are confident that you will think so too.

By supporting Zakia's Morocco, you are helping empower women, protecting the Argan forest, while preserving your wellness.
We hope you enjoy Zakia's Morocco.
Zakia

Binas Blooms

I was first introduced to Bina's Bloom a couple of months ago when my sister was pregnant. She bought from Bina's Blooms the cutest tiny Captain America shoes for my nephew, so I started to follow them on my personal Instagram. A couple of weeks ago Sabrina, the founder and designer of Bina's Bloom sent me a beautiful pair of booties to feature them on the blog.
 
 
Bina's Blooms was founded by Sabrina in 2010. Sabrina a mother of a 2 year old boy, who was inspired by her niece and the love for cool prints to create beautiful shoes for babies and kids.
 Each shoe is handmade to order, Sabrina carefully hand cut and sewn each shoe.
 
 
These super cute shoes stay on easily, because they have a secure elastic around the ankle to keep those booties in place. Bina's Blooms shoes are super comfortable and the amazing prints make them unique. The sole provides a grip, perfect when they are learning to walk. All sizes 6 months and up come standard with a rubberized waterproof sole.

Brody's 579

A couple of days ago, we received a Gluten-Free chocolate muffin mix and a Gluten-Free banana chip muffin mix from Brodys579 . First I have to say that their products are delicious. I baked all the time for my kids and I was really happy to try these gluten-free muffin mix. The banana chip muffins are my favorite.



Brodys579 was founded by Kathy Schwartz, a Registered Dietitian, when she found out that Brody her nephew, was diagnosed with Celiac disease at 18 months. Brodys579 was named after her nephew. This amazing brand was born so that no one would ever feel left out.

   
 
Brodys579 mixes are super easy to make, each mix only requires adding one or two ingredients such as applesauce or bananas. Each mix is Certified Gluten Free and many mixes are nut, dairy and soy-free as well. If you are looking for a healthier option for your children or for you, I totally recommend these amazing products to everybody.

Behind Brodys579




1. Tell us a little bit about Brodys579

Brody is my nephew who was diagnosed with Celiac disease at 18 months.  He had lost weight and was throwing up when he would eat. With Celiac, Brody always has to have separate food when we get together.  My family was coming for Christmas and I wanted to have something we could all eat together.  I started to experiment on my own kids with different recipes.  When I found one that they couldn't tell was gluten free, I knew we had something good.
Brodys 579 is Brody's name and "579" is the ICD-9 diagnostic code for Celiac Disease. 
My sister in law said you can't buy muffins this good and encouraged us to sell at  Farmer's Markets.  Brodys 579 did sell at Farmer's Markets in 2012. I tried to ship the muffins to friends in other states but they just didn't hold up.  The dry mixes were developed so that people around the country can enjoy the muffins. We started baking for a local grocery chain and now we bake and make mixes for over 15 stores!
 

2Who is behind Brodys579 ? e.g. tell us a bit about the owner and the reason why Brodys579 stared
 
I, Kathy Schwartz, a Registered Dietitian, started Brody's 579 so that no one would be left out of a meal.  
Meals are to be eaten together, everyone can eat these muffins and no one is left out.  Even if you don't eat gluten free you will like these because they don't taste gluten free.
 
 

3. Tell us a little bit about the products
 
 We have 7 different muffin mixes, blueberry, cranberry, apple cinnamon, pumpkin, chocolate, banana and banana chip, a chocolate chip cookie mix, a flax flat bread mix and almond baguette mix. 
I'm always working on more products too.
 

4.What is one of your biggest goals for this year?
 
 One of my big goals for the year is to have my products available in Whole Foods.

Re-Play

 I recently came across a super cool tableware brand for kids and immediately thought, "how perfect for my kids!!"  I love fun tableware for my little kids and Re-Play makes just that! Re-Play is a family owned, family -focus company, that manufactures and assembles in the USA.

 
 
 
Their products are made entirely from recycle milk jugs! They’re also BPA-free, Phthalate-free, PVC-free and FDA-approved. You know, if you’re into that sort of thing. Even their packaging is made from recycled paperboard! 
 
 
 
 Their color concentrate is safe for food contact; all the ingredients in the colors are FDA approved! I can't say enough about Re-Play products
 

The spoons and forks are a wonderful size for little hands and the divide plates are a hit in our home. I love making my kid's plate look interesting with a variety of colors and foods. Re-Play products are not only cute but they are durable and affordable. I am officially a big fan of re-play tableware. The quality is amazing and I love the way they feel.




Next week we will be giving away this awesome set!!!
