MERAKI (meh-RAH’-kee) noun– To do something with love, soul, and creativity; to put a piece of yourself into what you’re doing.
As a self proclaimed makeup/skincare junkie I have come across quite a few brands, and that number has probably doubled in just the past year. I discovered Meraki Botanicals in my first Babeboxx. In the box, there was a sample size of the cleansing facial oil. After testing out the product, I fell hard for this oil. It was my first experience with a cleansing oil, and I was over the moon impressed. So, I decided to pop over to the Meraki Botanicals website and see what else this brand had to offer. To my excitement, there was a complete line of these hand made, home made products.
“Every product in the Meraki line is 100% natural, made without artificial ingredients or chemicals. Most of the ingredients used are organic & some are local to Georgia. All Meraki products are vegan EXCEPT the Rosemary Mint Hair Wax, which is made with honey.”
Ok, so let’s start off with the product that began my obsession with this brand.
ROSE GRAPEFRUIT FACE OIL– I am on my second bottle of this product, which is something huge for me. There are very few products in the skincare world that keep me coming back for more. I am addicted to this oil. Every morning I wake up and apply this to my dry face and massage it in for a minute or so. Then, I apply a very warm wash cloth and let that sit for another minute. In the evenings, I use this after I have washed my face with my cleanser and, unbelievably, this oil still pulls makeup from my skin that I thought I had just washed off. Incredible. The days I shower, wash my hair and shave, I apply this oil while my conditioner is in and I am shaving. The directions only say to leave it on a minute, but I love how clean my skin feels after the combo of the shower steam and this oil! Just love, love it. This oil is such a great way to use an all natural product for cleansing the skin.
BASIL LEMONGRASS TONING MIST– I am normally a slacker when it comes to toners. It is the act of getting the cotton swab out and dabbing it all over trying not to miss a spot that turns me off. So, the fact that this one has a spray top rocks my world. You can purchase this toner and the cleansing oil in a set for oily skin. Meraki also offers a set for dry skin so everyone is covered.
ROSEMARY SAGE HAIR OIL– I use this oil as an overnight treatment on my ends and scalp the night before I am going to wash my hair. It leaves my hair so silky feeling every time I use it. I have also used this on my dry hair after I have blow dried. Be careful, though, because a little bit goes a long, long way.
ROSE LAVENDER BATH & BODY OIL– OK, this body oil is wonderful. Just wonderful. I apply it mostly at night before bed, and the rose and lavender scent has such a lovely calming effect. I also use this oil in my bath and sometimes even after a shower.
All of the these products have their own enticing, magical scent. The woman behind these products is a genius in my book. I have been so blessed this past year meeting talented people that have such a passion for making the best possible products. If you haven’t heard of Meraki Botanicals until now…well, you’re welcome. I have been captivated by these products from the start. You can check out all of the Meraki Botanicals goodness at http://merakibotanicals.com/. I CANNOT wait to try everything else Meraki has to offer.
