Paleo Expert, Liz Wolfe: “I’m Glowing Thanks to Primal Life Organics!”

I recently sent Liz Wolfe, from www.CaveGirlEats.com, a favorite paleo lifer, some of my products to try.  I always love to hear what people think of my creations, especially experienced, hardcore paleo advocates.  Liz is definitely a paleo expert.  Liz is a board certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and has been featured as a “nutritional expert” in OK! Magazine.  You may also recognize her name from Paleo Magazine in which she is writes a regular column.  If that is not enough, Liz also co-hosts the Balanced Bites Podcast.  Liz took some time out of her hectic schedule to write a testimonial about Primal Life Organics.    

From Liz:

I’ve been obsessed with Paleo-style skin care (ie: what goes ON is just as important as what goes IN) - ever since I realized my personal care products were LOADED with ingredients I couldn’t pronounce, remember, nor trace back to the source. I finally took the leap and ditched all the old stuff and moved on to more Paleo-friendly skin care, beginning with the basics: the Oil Cleansing Method, a bit of oil to moisturize, and baking soda and apple cider vinegar for exfoliation and toning. 

But I was missing something. Yes, I stripped my routine down to “the basics,” but I knew there were some amazing properties to the oils, clay, and other natural earth-derived products that Trina uses as part of Primal Life Organics. With the assault the Modern world makes on our skin every day, I knew I wanted MORE nourishment, MORE anti-aging, and MORE anti-inflammatory action. And I needed someone who KNEW where to find these things in nature, as well as how to source and combine them!
Trina knows her stuff. Just take a moment to read her ingredient descriptions - did YOU know frankincense not only helps prevent wrinkles, but promotes a feeling of serenity? That Clary sage promotes skin regeneration AND balances oil production? Theres an entire WORLD of natural, skin-loving compounds out there, and Trina is an absolute expert. 
It’s not an exaggeration to say my skin (and health) is better now than ever before. (Seriously - I’m glowing!) I’m so grateful to have found Trina and Primal Life Organics!
Thanks Liz!

Lose Five Pounds Instantly!!

I recently read an article called “More Than Skin Deep. What you need to know about beauty products before you buy”. The article states “a British report estimates that women who use makeup soak in nearly five pounds of cosmetic chemicals each year. The average American uses about 10 different personal care products a day, which can quickly add up to 100 different chemicals.”

 The article continues stating “this is problematic, troublesome and dangerous when you consider that ‘more than one-third of all personal care products contain at least one ingredient linked to cancer’ according to the Environmental Working Group. Never mind the ingredients linked to birth defects.”

This horrendous and scary news is the main reason I develop products that are made of natural, organic, earthen, paleo ingredients. I want to enjoy my “golden years” healthy, not fighting a cancer I could have prevented. I am an advocate for prevention and I’m sure this stems from my 20 year nursing career advocating for patients that are either too sick to advocate for themselves, or not educated enough to know better. I now extend that to my skin care business. Primal Life Organics is my way of advocating for you and your family. There are numerous, uncontrollable cancer-causing variables in our every day life. Some are truly unavoidable. More importantly, some are VERY PREVENTABLE. I understand that organic, natural skin care can be more costly, however, fighting cancer that could have been prevented is far more costly in so many ways (physically, emotionally, financially) for both you and your loved ones. Please don’t mis-read this; I’m not saying if you use organic, natural, paleo products, you will live a cancer free life. However, I can say your chances of living a cancer free life are greater if you avoid slathering your skin in cancer causing chemicals.

You may not lose five pounds on the scale, but this five pounds just might improve the quality of your life without you even knowing it…. And that is the best loss to win!

You can check out all of my products at www.PrimalLifeOrganics.com. All of my products are free from: parabens, sodium laurel sulfate, petrolatum, mineral oil, and parafin, glycols, phthalates, sodium myreth sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate and ethanol amines. Confused? I will blog about those harmful ingredients in a near future writing. For now, I urge you to I inspect your products and to use organic, natural, and paleo.

In The Works!!

I have been having horrible neck pain for the past 6-8 months and I have no idea why…. Well, maybe I have a clue or three.  My daughter is three and a half and weighs 36 pounds.  My twin boys are 21 months and weigh 30 pounds each.  One of them is ALWAYS attached to my left hip.  Usually it is Cash, but when he feels independent, Romans hops on.  When they are busy, Mia wants a turn.  I am fortunate I do CrossFit because I cannot imagine how much worse it would be if I didn’t stay in shape.  I am strong and healthy and I try really hard to maintain great posture, but after lugging 30 pounds around for more that 15 minutes, and I am sure my posture is less than perfect!

Needless to say, massage therapy… or should I say torture, has helped immensely.  I have a wonderful massage therapist named John that really knows how to crush the knots.  He is comparable to the incredible hulk… especially when he hits the tight spots!  Even with his help, my migraines from muscle strain have continued.  I tend to “tighten up” more on my left side (non-dominant side that I carry the kids) but I do have issues with my right side too.  Actually, I have issues with my entire musculature… just ask John!

Anyway, I am in the process of developing a muscle serum for knots and tension.  I am testing it right now and perfecting the recipe.  So far, I think it has made a difference.  It will be a blend of organic extra virgin olive oil infused with cayenne pepper, menthol crystals, eucalyptus, rosemary and clary sage.  The ‘heat” therapy is the cayenne pepper and the “cold” therapy is the menthol.  The eucalyptus, rosemary and clary sage help to relax and loosen tight muscles and knots.  I apply 2-3 drops to the affected area 2-3 times a day and more frequently when I ham having issues.  Today was a “migraine day” and after three applications and some self-massage, the migraine and muscle ache was gone after about 4 hours.  I hope to have this ready for sale by summer time. 

 I always love guinea pigs, so if anyone is interested, please contact me through the website.  


FINALLY!!! PALEO SKINCARE!!!!

I have been making organic, skincare products for three years.  I have been doing CrossFit for two years and I have been eating paleo for almost two years.  I have decided to combine the three aspects that have changed my life forever and provide organic, paleo skincare options for those looking to detoxify their skincare cabinet.  I am not an extreme CrossFitter, but my husband is.  He is co-owner of CrossFit Akron and he introduced me to this lifestyle over three years ago.  We now raise our three young children doing CrossFit and eating paleo.  I wonder how many people realize they can sabotage a healthy eating plan with the skincare products they are using?  Why add chemicals, toxins and wheat into your body via the skin, hair and body products you are using?  I believe in providing healthy, clean skincare products that will not sabotage the healthy lifestyle you work so hard for.   I am a true 21st century Cavegirl who has decided to venture out into the wilderness in search of other Cavegirls and Caveboys looking to detoxify their skincare regime.  Welcome to Primal Life Organics! Our products will not sabotage your hard work!!
