Maria’s Favorite Things #1
TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
I LOVE it when kids benefit from my help!!!: “Good afternoon – I have had a few email conversations with you regarding my 7 year old son. He was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease this past summer. You recommended certain supplements. He is doing absolutely fantastic.
At his month check up with his GI Doctor the Doctor was completely floored with how well he was doing. He weene
d him off of steroids, he has now been off them for well over a month. We were scared of a possible flare up but hopeful everything we’re doing with his diet changes, supplements, chiropractic care as well as reflexology would keep him from any flare ups. It definitely has!
He has continued to grow and be a champ with understanding his lifestyle changes. We couldn’t be more proud of him. Our entire household has become gluten free as well as mostly grain free.
My husband has lost nearly 20 pounds because of the changes we’ve made. I have followed your advice for several years which has changed my life so transitioning my son was not difficult. Because you are so passionate you have allowed so many of us to educate ourselves.
Thank you for all you do!” – Nicole

Maria’s Favorite Things Giveaway!
I don’t wear a lot of makeup but when I do, I make sure it is quality stuff.
My favorite things are this lovely natural lipgloss and eyeshadow.
I also only use BeautyCounter Shampoo for my family. I only wash my hair about once a week so this bottle lasts me a long time!
For Christmas I am asking for the Restorative Night Cream!
One reason I adore this company is how it was developed. Here is a letter from the founder:
“Like many of you, I’m a wife and mom—and like many of you, I didn’t know what I didn’t know. As I 
applied sunscreen, lotion, and any number of beauty products on myself and my kids, I never thought for a second they might not be safe: After all, I thought, we live in a country that regulates everything. So imagine my surprise when I learned that when it comes to the personal care industry, that’s simply not the case. Companies are allowed to use known toxins—ingredients that have been linked to cancer, reproductive issues, hormone disruption—without telling us.
As I learned more—1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women in the US will be diagnosed with cancer—I had to do something. So I started Beautycounter, a company devoted to progress. You’ll find a wealth of empowering information about ways we can all make the world healthier, along with products you can trust are safe. Because we all deserve better. Our vision is bold—real answers are never timid. Help us put truth back in beauty.”
Decades of studies indicate that serious health issues (including, but not limited to asthma, learning disabilities, cancer and infertility) are on the rise, and due in some part to our ongoing exposure to toxic chemicals—whether it’s in the shower, on our commute, while we eat lunch at a local restaurant, or when we clean our kitchens at home.
There are more than 80,000 chemicals on the market today. Only about 10% of the 10,000 chemicals commonly found in personal care products have safety data.
What’s worse is the Food and Drug Administration (the agency that regulates cosmetics) allows companies to use chemicals known to be extremely harmful (lead, formaldehyde, and phthalates) in the products we put on our bodies and on our kids every single day, day after day.
It’s time for a change.

Would love to try face cream!
I would love to try any of the products! They sound wonderful!
I want to switch our entire household over to these products. Soon hopefully.
On the blog, it says comment with what we’d like to see you give away, but the giveaway link says favorite holiday keto tip… I just made it through my first keto holiday and the pumpkin cheesecake was my hero. 😉 And I’d love to see the mascara or shampoo! My eyes have become so sensitive and my scalp doesn’t love most natural or organic shampoos so I’m trying to find one I love!
I would love to see a mascara too! I’ve heard that they are working on perfecting one and hopefully will be debuting one soon 🙂
I have heard only fabulous reviews about this product! would love to try!
These look amazing
I definitely want to try the restorative night cream. 🙂
I would love to try the hand cream; my hands are getting drier as the weather gets colder.
I absolutely love these products! My two favorite things are the “Dew skin tint” and the Face Oil #1.
The restorative night Cream would be nice!
My best keto tip would be to workout in a fasted state!
I’m looking for a new line to love!
Love the Beauty Counter products. Thank you Maria for finding these for us!
I have a hard time finding products that leave my face feeling clean rather than not clean and dry so I would love to try the face wash. What a nice little give away to try a little of different items.
Thanks!
Would love to try their products.
My Keto holiday tip is to try to do more meaningful things and less that revolves around food. Crafts and stories and games are memorable for family?
That was supposed to be an exclamation point not a question mark. Haha
The Restorative Night Cream or the Shampoo would be great!
Would love this opportunity to try these products!
Rose Neroli Oil would be a real treat.
I’ve never owned a cosmetic product that didn’t come from a drug store. What a great giveaway! Thank you, Maria!
Holiday Keto tip: When tempted to make the wrong food choices at a party, think of how good you feel eating keto, and the benefits to your health. Eating the wrong foods isn’t worth the set back. Enjoy friends and family, that’s what the holidays are about, not the sugary, preservative filled foods
I would love to try their products. I’m concerned about all the chemicals that are in the products we all use.
Fast until dinner and fill up on protein during the meal!
I love Beauty Counter products. I haven’t tried the shampoo yet. It’s next on my list.
Looks like an amazing product line. Fingers crossed this contest is available to Canadians.
My best keto tip is to not be caught without a backup plan. I prefer to stay home and do all of the cooking myself, even if that means it is just us at a holiday meal, but if wind up somewhere else, I either take my own food or make sure there will be something for me to eat.
For the next giveaway how about hair care products.
I’d love to try any of the makeup or hair products!
Hope I win! I’d love to try this brand.
Yes please!!
Would love to try the resorative night cream!
Bring your Keto dishes to gatherings!
My best keto holiday tip is to always plan ahead, so you can be prepared!
My best Keto Holiday tip is to always keep some fat bombs in the school fridge ready to go. When everyone else is browsing on junk and fantastic smelling poison, it is a great treat to pop a fat bomb or two and let it dissolve in your mouth. Telling everyone it’s 79-95% fat is usually all that is needed to keep them out of your stuff.
I want to try that restorative night cream.
That would be a great giveaway!
k
The beauty products look wonderful. Would love to try something safe for my skin! Still in love with the ketonrecipe for chicken and “wild rice”
I would love to try the restorative night cream or the cleansing balm. I am currently using the eye perfecter and love it!!
Color Pinch Cream Blusher. This post-menopausal face needs as little as possible without looking washed out.
I would like to win!!
Would love to try these products too. Been concerned for some time of possible problematic ingredients. Also interested in supplements and diet for IBS. Have step-daughter with this problem. Would love information on how to help with this condition.
I would love to try the Restorative Night Cream.
The beautycounter cleanser, oils, and moisturizer are all on my wishlist for Christmas.
I would love the travel Collection
I always keep almonds or walnuts in my purse as a snack attack may happen when Christmas shopping and seeing sugar-filled products: that’s my tip…… The skin products look wonderful to try!
I would love the night/day lip gloss!
I’d love to try these out! I’m also a once a week hair-washer; but I put skin moisturizer on EVERY day — I’ve switched to organic virgin coconut oil. So the Restorative night cream gets my vote for your next giveaway!
If you can’t bring a keto dish to the party, eat before you go!
Hard boiled eggs in the fridge at all times!
Beauty products that are not harmful is a new concern of mine. I never realized how many things I put on my body and never bothered to look at the ingredients. I would love to try some of these products.
I would love to try these products and am especially interested in any moisturizers such as the Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer!
love to try the hair care products 🙂
Would love to try the holiday hand collection. Thank you!
I haven’t heard of this company before and am always on the lookout for amazing all-natural skincare lines, so I’ll be trying this line whether I win or not, so thanks for making me aware!
Thank you 🙂 🙂 🙂
Best Keto Holiday tip: I always bring a low carb dessert to share when invited for dinners.
My goodness Maria, look at all the comments!! Very happy holidays from my family to yours.
Hi Maria! I would love to give the shampoo a try. My scalp is very dry and flaky. I also have very dry skin so I would try the creams for the face. Thanks you
I would love to try this product. The blush duo is what you should give away next! :o)
Keto holiday tip: Always have a goodie around so when others are offering goodies you can pull yours out! It helps me stay on course!
I would love to try these products. I made your pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving, it was awesome!
Thank you for everything you do!
I’m so glad you included the excerpt from the beauty counter founder. I had no idea what they were about. I only buy safe products for my home and family. It’s a big hassle to research and buy products from so many different places. Glad to know I can find it all in one spot!
thank you for the chance to win
would love to try any of the body oils.
Next product giveaway? Easy – the blusher!! Sounds like a great two in one product! Thanks for the time and energy spent inspiring…..it is SO worthy! Thank you!

😉 my tip is to plan, plan ahead to be prepared! and anything you give away I will love!

Hey Maria,
Do you have a top 10 (or something similar) list of things you love and use over and over from Beauty Counter other than the pics above? I want to buy some of their products but would love some of your recommendations. THANK YOU!!!
When we get so busy for the holidays we often forget to drink our water. Make time for yourself and do the things to keep healthy.
I would love to win any beauty product you suggest. I am always looking for you recommendations about which products I can use. Hope I can win this one!
My keto holiday tip… Is to PLAN!!! If I don’t have a full menu planned, that’s when it all comes crashing down. For Thanksgiving we had dinner with my sister in law’s family, and it was SO laden with Carbs… I anticipated it though, and made myself a dessert and a side dish, so I could eat a wonderful meal and not compromise my health. 🙂
Keto tip…Fat Bombs!
I would like to try Lustro Face Oil 3 in Ylang Ylang & Wild Chamomile. I have extremely sensitive skin and have resorted to using coconut oil because so far it’s the only this that I havent broken out or developed a rash from.
Choose food wisely. Eat before you go to a party!
Use Maria’s recipes to keep your diet clean while enjoying great food!
Always looking for clean personal care products. These look fantastic!
Make sure to stay active, drink enough water, get enough sleep, and use substitute recipes whenever possible!
Mascara or shampoo !
Always try to have a few snacks in my purse or car.
Plan a head!! Cook and have on hand at all times!!
