FarmHouse Fresh Products

I first read about Farmhouse Fresh Goods in one of my many magazines that I got through every month. I was already looking for an amazing body oil (I'm on an oil kick!) that was moisturizing but light and didn't get all over my sheets...not to mention Chicago winters suck all the moisture out of your skin. BAM! There it was...Agave Nectar Ageless Body Oil . It smells light and airy, and literally seems to absorb as soon as it hits your skin. I also layer the Backcountry Caramel body milk. I looove the combo..my skin has never been softer!








From the website:
96% natural Vegan NOT Gluten Free (has barley extract)
If you love a deep-soaking, luscious after-shower body oil, Agave Nectar will love you back!
The scent is heavenly light - an oat/milk scent (comparable to a to-die-for tiramisu dessert) that women and men alike adore. But it's so much more than a body oil. Made with a special blend of extracts tested and proven to reduce the rate of your skin's water loss - one of the culprits in signs of aging. Barley, Sandalwood and Amurense bark combine with Agave Nectar and a blend of natural oils to deeply hydrate without a greasy afterfeel. This bottle of glistening comfort even turns white in the water, so any droplets on your clothing or sheets remove clean in the wash. No staining. How brilliant!




"97.5% natural Vegan Gluten Free
A sultry caramel dream!
If you simply can't get enough of a warm, sleepy, vanilla-cinnamon scent, get ready for your next obsession! Our best-selling Sweet Cream Body Milk has been infused with a golden-caramel fragrance that rivals the finest creme brulee. The feel is light, and it pours like milk, but make no mistake this silky vegetable-based lotion will keep skin soft throughout the entire day. Made with our special blend of natural oils for maximum hydration.

Choose from our beautiful glass cruet with a handle for pouring or our more functional glass bottle with pump. Both make adorable gifts! Sold in a decorative box that reads "Our Cows Eat Cookies."

97.5% natural and like all FarmHouse Fresh products, Backcountry Caramel is Paraben & Sulfate free."

I also have enjoyed using their hand creams, both Whoopie Pie (smells really sweet...literally like frosting..I kind of thought it was a little strong so I wouldn't use is before doing makeup on clients). But the Fluffy Bunny is amazing, and made my nails and cuticle look great too!



So once I was saw the body oil, I started researching about this company, Farmhouse Fresh. I have an affinity for farms because my family has had a 575 acre farm off a lake in the plains of Kansas.

Here is a little excerpt from their site:
