Try natural skincare options in your Anaheim apartment.

Shopping near your apartment in Anaheim can take a toll on your body, and your skin will definitely look the worse for wear after a long day out in the sun. The next time you feel like pampering your body’s largest organ, take a look at some of these all natural skin care products and ideas.

• Burt’s Bees is the first thing you need to add to your skincare regimen. Their all natural products won’t harm the environment, nor will they pollute your body.
• Try mixing some olive oil and lime juice with an egg yolk and apply that to your face if you have rough or dry skin. As it dries, it acts as a natural astringent for your clogged pores.
• Are wrinkles starting to show their ugly face? If they are, blend up a cucumber and apply it to your face, neck and eyes several times a week.
• If you have oily skin, mix a quarter tablespoon of lime juice with a tablespoon of apple juice and let it sit for about 20 minutes before you remove it.

Best of all, these products can all be purchased at Wholesome Choice Foods which is just a short drive from our luxury Anaheim apartments.

We’re an eco-friendly apartment community. The following are a few ways to deodorize your home with natural ingredients.

Essential oils are a great thing to have around. You should be able to find them at natural food stores, or in the Whole Foods stores nearby Anaheim. Peppermint, tea tree and lavender are all good oils to keep around. You can boil oil with a little water on stove for a little while to release its scent. Another thing you can do is to soak cotton balls in the oil and place them in unobtrusive places, including the bathroom.

If you’re having guests over, use things you probably have in your apartment kitchen: cinnamon, grated orange peel and more to make your place smell wonderful.

Don’t forget the power of baking soda as a deodorizer. You can put a bowl anywhere that you need to. Another good cleaning and deodorizing product is white vinegar.

The Crossing Anaheim hopes these eco-friendly tips help their apartment residents.

Perhaps you practice yoga. Maybe you take advantage of the yoga studio here at our Anaheim apartment. Have you ever thought about how green your yoga might, or might not, be?

We’re an eco-friendly apartment community, so we want to consider these things.

Breathe Magazine has a quick article about this subject. Here are four things to consider:

1. Choose a green, eco-friendly mat made with non-toxic, biodegradable materials. Barefoot Yoga Co. makes some good ones, or for shopping local Crescent Moon Yoga located in Anaheim may have eco options.
2. Consider your consumption. You don’t have to have the latest, trendiest yoga gear to practice. This goes against the basic teachings of yoga.
3. Stay close to home so that you reduce the amount of energy you waste traveling. This one should be easy for our The Crossing Anaheim residents.
4. Be mindful of your diet. Many yogis opt for a vegetarian diet with a focus on whole and local foods.

How green is your yoga practice? Talk about it on Facebook.
