Beauty is War

Byemilyharper1

In today’s world our bodies and skin are constantly at war with our environment. Being outside and exposed to the elements should be considered “across enemy lines”. The sun, processed foods, pollution in the air and the chemicals in non-organic skincare products are only a few of the combatants that have waged war against your beauty, daily attacking your skin. And the worst part, is that most of us don’t even know it.

What sets us apart from other natural brands is our products are not only natural and organic but they are also 100% handmade right at home so we really know what ingredients are being used to make them. Our products were all inspired by my homeopathic, all natural, chemical free upbringing. I was raised in a home where everything from the food and personal care products to medicine and cleaning products were all chemical free, often homemade, and all natural; entirely made from things that come from our earth and not from a factory. Inspired by my mother and her natural lifestyle, I decided that I wanted to spread the health and beauty benefits of all natural cosmetics and help teach others about the benefits for our skin and bodies.

Launched from our base in Long Beach, California, “Beauty is War” has created an arsenal of homemade skincare products such as our organic Bath Bombs, vegan based Shampoo Bars, and our top selling sugar based Lip Scrubs. We also offer a (CBD) option for the bath bombs and soap bars.  Arm yourself and protect your skin while on the battlefield! Unlike most wars, this one will never end. Think about it, we will always be battling against both ourselves and outside variables for beauty. For health, we pass on the piece of cake to slim down our waist. We use Lip Balm to moisturize lips and protect them from cold weather. We use sun screen to evade sun rays and deodorant to pre-treat a future cause of being exposed to the sun as well. At the core, these defenses have the same consequence if abandoned. Your beauty becomes affected. Your physical appearance changes. You look different. Change isn’t always considered a bad thing but we’re talking attributes/features that maybe some people find attractive or unique. Or even a certain scent that sparks memories that actually cause emotion. So in conclusion, if we did not battle against the natural course of things by using products that reverse, stop, or repair the damage done by just living, we’d be unable to hold or maintain our identity. Actually we would all start to look and smell the same for the most part.  If one didn’t fight back by maintaining these defenses against the threat to your unique image, scent and overall identity, one would fail to exist. Unacceptable, right?! It may be a war waged but we’ve got you covered for life long combat!

Our mission here is simple. Stay ahead of the enemy. Especially the ones that hide behind big names and shiny labels. Chemicals and animal harming ingredients that cause dryness or irritation are often hidden in today’s bath and beauty products and not by accident. Because you trust that brand, you’re more willing to return and try different smells and/or fall for another fake promise of smoother or healthier skin. They make a dollar over and over until you finally, or should I say luckily, find the brand that puts Moral over Money. We welcome you, glad you could make it. Understand, everything we need to take care of ourselves from foods to hygiene and even aches and pains, were made when the earth was made, naturally. 

Our Handmade battle bars were designed with war in mind. Our herbal soap arsenal consists of six different ”battle bars” that offer exfoliants like dehydrated fruits, raw sugars and organic coffee grounds to remove dead skin cells that make skin lack vibrance, giving you that dull look. We offer moisturizers like raw coconut and sweet almond oil to treat and hydrate those skin cells. Our Aloe Vera peppermint bar will get the job done. The Aloe Vera and its natural goat milk base rehydrates skin while simultaneously improving your skin’s barrier of defense. Defense against the war that has been waged against your skin. Equipped with a natural hemp rope, its non-slip grip! Our Bomb Shelter of handmade organic bath bombs offer a few fizzy favorites as well. All of which equip you with the same upper hands of hydrating ingredients and dryness destroying moisturizers. Most attacks on skin come from an aerial ambush of dust and dirt, but on water is where our bath bombs get even. Plus, they kinda are just a little more cool. Turn that boring bathing routine into a calculated counterattack filled with invigorating scents and satisfying textures. Sugars and oatmeals to gently shed the day away and essential oils right there to soothe and protect for later hostile engagement with the elements. But remember, one battle can’t win a war. Evening times are when cells need nutrients the most, it’s when their anti-aging benefits have the most impact, and so that’s our time of preparation. (Pampered preparation of course) That’s what we call an offensive beauty war strategy. One of plenty you’ll soon be ‘de-briefed’ on.

We practice and live what we preach. So, ask yourself… Are you afraid of sugar scrubs? Huh?  Frightened by the immediate softness after a natural oatmeal & coconut oil body scrub followed with a light aloe peppermint wash up, ended by a cold rinse? Didn’t think so…except for the cold rinse lol. If you got this far then you must be ready to team up and fight for your skin. All while hurting not a thing on mother earth, empowering a community of like driven good people. And last but not least… Supporting a single mom who just wants to show her mom she was listening all along. Beauty is War… Join us on the battlefield at https://www.batttlefieldofbeauty.com

Repairing or replacing damaged chimney components on time can reduce the risk of fires, carbon monoxide exposure, and water damage. Unfortunately, many vital parts of the chimney are hidden or too high for homeowners to inspect. A chimney sweep is equipped and trained to evaluate damage to the following critical chimney components:

Crown: A crown is a downward-sloping concrete, stone, or metal overhang at the top of a chimney that directs water away from the exterior of the chimney to prevent erosion. Rainwater can run down the sides of the chimney and erode it if it is cracked, usually as a result of weather exposure or the use of weak construction materials, compromising its structural integrity over time. Rainwater can also enter the flu and deteriorate the flue liner (see below). To prevent water damage to the chimney and flue, an inspector can repair or replace a cracked crown.

The flue liner—a clay, ceramic, or metal conduit located between the flue and the chimney walls—protects the chimney walls from heat and corrosion. When combustion byproducts are directed out through the flue. It also prevents smoke and harmful vapors such as carbon monoxide from entering your home through potential cracks in chimney masonry. High heat or embers can damage chimney walls or touch surrounding combustible materials of the home and spark a chimney fire. When cracks form in the flue due to excessive heat, water damage, or wear and tear. Smoke and vapors can also enter the home through masonry cracks, potentially exposing you to carbon monoxide.
