Stop.......What are you putting on your skin?

We all Know the guilt of watching glamorous infomercials about the latest and greatest skincare products out there, The ones that swear thay will defy time and or  give you porcelain smooth celebrity like skin………
Stop…..Wait……..


Do you believe it? Well apparently many people do because so much money is spent on products that claim some well known celebrity is gorgeous because of this product.  Are you guilty? Did you spend way too much money on the latest breakthrough in the anti-aging magic potion in a bottle, only to be disappointed? I know you want to look like the people on TV…. Well HELLO they are models, not us real people that have to get three kids ready for school, pay the bills, get to a meeting and still make yourself look like a million bucks all before 8 am.
She’s All That Naturally offers different products for different skin types because everyone is faced with their own unique skin care issues.  An example of what not to do ……You would not want to use a moisturizer designed for oily skin on dry skin because most likely you are going to end up with super dry skin. It is important to know your skincare type when selecting your skincare routine.

As important as it is to know your skin type it is equally important that you choose one or two problems you want to battle, putting 20 different items on your skin at once is only going to overload and could possibly cause irritation. Do your homework when it comes to skincare; know what your products do and what ingredients they contain.
As a natural skincare company we encourage our clients to avoid products with harsh chemicals and look for ingredients that are proven to work. Every single product you use will be filled with functional ingredients. This allows the product to spread, gives them body and texture that creates, a lotion gel or cream. Next we have the performance ingredients (aka active ingredients).

The Performance ingredients that we use in She’s All That Naturally are all clinically proven. Regardless if you use our products or someone else’s, look for the following ingredients to get the most out of your product.



The Structure of the skin

AHA’s: Dissolve the glue like substance the binds the dead skin cells together giving you a youthful glow.
            *Sunburn Alert: When using AHA products you should always wear a sunscreen as                     the old layer of  skin is exfoliated the new layer is more susceptible to sunburn.

Vitamin C: Blocks out the free radicals and helps with collagen production. It is important                          for vitamin c  serums to be in an opaque, airtight container to keep the vitamin                          C from oxidation. 
Retinoids: Increase collagen production, speed up cellular turnover and may unclog pores.

Kojic Acid: Known to reduce sun damage and age spots. A skin lightener. It slows down the     skins ability to create melanin in the cell that produces dark spots.

Peptides: Amino acids that are proven to effectively penetrate(do to nano particles) into          the skin. They build collagen and heal the skin.


Salicylic Acid: (BHA) Great for oily and problem skin. Antimicrobial known to treat skin         care problems, such as acne, and psoriasis. 

Hyaluronic Acid: Draws up to 1000 times its weight in water to the skin for deep                 hydration.

Antioxidants: Fight the free radicals causes by sun and pollution that your skin is exposed to on a daily basis. Look for some of the following, Vitamin, A C and E as well as green tea and CQ10

DMAE: Firms and lifts the skin, great for neck and jawline.

MSM: Builds collagen and smooths

You want to always use a sunscreen regardless of what other skincare products you use. It is important to use a moisturizer as well. They should go hand in hand. 



At Cutie Pitutie we invented She's All That Naturally to give you the top of the line skincare products with most effective ingredients available. We do not use any artificial fragrances, parabens, sulfates or dyes. 

As said in my last blog post, Just because a product is not $120 an ounce does not mean it is not a quality product. Sometimes you get more than what you pay for. 

If you do not know your skincare type or needs, we can help you with a skincare analysis and suggest a custom designed skincare routine that is as unique as you are.

Defying gravity doesn't have to cost a fortune.


As I approached the forty something club, I suddenly felt the need to stop time on my face. I spent countless hours researching what ingredients would help stop the clock. I thought I was prepared to buy my fountain of youth in a bottle. Armed with my little scratch pad of what I was looking for I ran to the fancy department store searching for the latest  products that would be............

Anti-aging
Time reversing
Anti-wrinkle
But Natural as well

As a natural bath and body company owner  I was on a mission to find products that are natural and affordable. After all a mom of 7 has a very tight budget. The only thing I could find was overpriced products loaded with random chemicals or natural products that are so expensive I could never allow my frugal self to buy them.


I had a mission to create my own skincare line and that is how She's All That naturally came to life. I continued to search for months to find the perfect cocktails of high end, natural and organic ingredients.
I wanted products that would help my aging skin as well as help my teenagers tackle the dreaded  acne-plagued skin issues that come with puberty. 

 First I really considered what I wanted in a skincare line. Natural of course, but I also wanted the best of the best that there was to offer. 
As I formulated amazing products at a price even us frugal moms could afford, I started to wonder why we all have been trained to believe you get what you pay for? Let me tell you 
that is.... Not always true!!!

I had a dear friend message me about one of the newest products that is booming right now. I will not say the name but the product is $110 for one ounce. I was thinking this has to be some amazing product. She took a picture of the ingredients and  as I read it I wanted to SCREAM. 
There was nothing fancy in this product, No MSM no pep-tides, no hyaluronic acid not even  vitamin c.

The only ingredient that stood out to me was something known to be a super skin irritant that causes temporary inflammation  of the skin. Therefore you think it is a miracle  that is taking away your wrinkles.

I hate to break it to all of you  but, the only thing that will instantly take away your wrinkles and fine lines does NOT come in a bottle. You will need to make a trip to your local skincare center for that.
Products can lighten your skin, reverse sun damage, reduce wrinkles fine lines and more. You must understand this takes time, after all  the damage did not happen over night.


One reason products are so expensive is because of the packaging. Most people  look at a package and if it's gorgeous you assume the product is good, a perfect example
would be this...
                

These two products are exactly the same but I could sell the one the right at a much higher price because of the packaging. (Don't worry Supreme C lovers I wont raise the price)

Another reason skincare products are so expensive is because of the name. Some labels are established or considered a high end name. Because of this they can sell you the exact same serum I can for $98 and you will buy it. And to think the same serum from She's All That Naturally  is only $18. So therefore, you just paid for a name... not the product. 

I have accomplished my mission and developed She's All That Naturally, a natural, boutique skin care line specializing in high end  ingredients. 
I want to prove to people that I can offer you supreme, high end skincare at prices you can afford. Every product I sell is used on me and my family and I am very particular about what we put on our skin. 
Settle for nothing but the best!

Summer Hair

The Struggles of  Fine, Unruly  Summer Hair

Having super fine hair is a struggle at all times but summer can be the worst. During the Summer months it is very humid and there for hair sucks in excess moisture causing unfavorable hair . 

Here is my summer salvation hair remedy. 

First of all you want to use a sulfate-free shampoo.
Shampoo with sulfates dry out your hair, if you don't want to take my word for it, look it up you might be surprised at what you find. 
A little FYI Cutie Pituties Bubbly Bath syrup can be used as a Shampoo and it is sulfate free. I am also in the process of designing a sulfate free shampoo in the following scents
Tea Tree and Peppermint
Sweet Orange and Lavender
and
Lemon Lime 

As important as it is to use sulfate-free shampoo in the summer, it is just as important to wash your hair properly

First of all make sure your hair is completely wet and apply shampoo to the scalp and wash thoroughly to break down the oils, 
Repeat only this time start at the scalp and wash to the ends. Your scalp is where all of the oil is so do not over wash the ends.

Next make sure that you condition your hair but DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT put conditioner all the way up to the scalp. Putting conditioner on your scalp is going to leave you with oily hair in no time.  Be sure to start at the ends and work up about 2/3 of the way.

If you have a wet brush use it, If not Get one you will wonder how you ever lived with out it. 

So now that we have the cleansing part out of the way I will share my other summer secrets.
 The first being I use a light volumizing  spray gel to help keep frizz at bay and blow dry with a diffuser. This is when I actually have time to do something with my hair.

Do not put heavy products on your hair as it will weigh it down.

My all time favorite summer hair product is my  
Making Waves Sea Salt Spray
(available soon)

This is a spray with all  natural ingredients including  aloe, olive oil, argan oil, pink Himalayan sea salt, coconut oil, sea kelp and  algae extract.  I just Spitz on,  scrunch and let air dry. 
The salt adds volume and texture and is perfect for my super fine hair. 

You can even make your own sea salt spray with 
3/4 cup of water
1 tsp of epsom salt
1 tsp of olive oil

I have been trying to introduce a skincare line I could be happy with for years that I can say is not loaded with Chemicals, effective and yet still affordable. Every woman's dream right? 
Well I have finally created

While I still have my skincare products that are made 100% by me from scratch

Cutie Pitutie has teamed up with a leading manufacture of professionally  formulated, organic skincare to design custom formulations of the skincare products I want to offer. This manufacture produces products for skincare lines that you can find at stores such as Sephora and Nordstroms.  I chose to work with a skincare specialty company because they have years of experience in formulating what I want to offer my customers. This still allows me to  design  my own products  made with the best botanical ingredients from around the world and formulated with the most effective levels of active ingredients.


The entire skin care line is at least 70% organic
Aloe Based
Made in the USA
Paraben Free 
Phthalates 
Sulfate free
Mineral Oil free
Dye free
NO artificial fragrances.

We offer a full line of skincare for every skin care issue you may have from sensitive skin, aging, dry and even oily skin.

I loved the skincare aspect of cosmetology school and wanted to be able to offer Quality skincare at a price everyone can afford, so therefore the motto we stand by is 

Cutie Pitutie Bath and Body believe everyone should be able to afford luxury skincare products. Therefore we strive to provide affordable alternatives to the many premium priced products on today’s market and have created a full line of skincare products that are mostly organic and affordable. Beautiful skin shouldn't have to cost a fortune.
