Pacificia Perfume

so I stopped wearing perfume for the most part after going gluten-free, but finally decided I wanted to buy some again because of being more social and going out  :) During my searches, I kept coming across Pacificia Perfume products.  You can buy them at Whole Foods, a*****.com and their retail site.  So far I've bought the Tahitian Gardenia and Persian Rose.  Not that I was really looking for a vegan perfume, but in addition to being gluten free, it is also vegan.

 

The scents don't have super strong staying power, but I've never liked an overbearing scent, so that's perfectly fine with me.  I'd definitely recommend them!

Just wanted to let you know that I started using their products not so long ago and they are wonderful.  I have the Tahitian Gardenia and Persian Rose as well. If you like those the French Lilac is awesome as is the Island Vanilla scent.  The Quench Lip tints are great as is their mascara.  i am a real fan of their products.  Their customer service is AMAZING!!

I'm going to look for those.  I like those types of fragrances - not the typical perfume smells.  Also, its nice to have a brand I can give my husband and boys to look for for presents.  When they were little, they always went to Bath & Body and smelled all the lotions & bubble baths.  Then they would pick the bubble bath they wanted to use - usually vanilla - to give me as a present.   :D

Thank for the suggestion. I'll see if I can tolerate wearing a fragrance again.

I love gardenias and I can't do overpowering scents of anything...not sure why, but it makes me nauseous.

I can't even enjoy dinner out if the woman next to me is drowning in her Chanel No.5 or whatever...

This makes me wonder....why do people put so much on anyway? blech.

What are they trying to cover up? Take a bath for pete's sake! 

But I digress.... :D

 

K,  just curious.......was there ever any bubble bath left for mom?

I was wondering. I looked at some products that didn't say gluten-free but didn't contain any gluten ingredients. Great to know. I will look for them.

so I bought some of their make-up too, which came last week.  I know you can buy their eyeshadow at Target, but I really wanted to try their mascara, so I bought this kit:

It is fantastic!  The eye shadow stays all day and looks just as good as when I put it on in the morning.  Although the mascara brush is a little too thick for my liking, nothing an eyelash separator can't fix, the mascara has great staying power too.  The lip gloss stays on well, and the only thing I haven't tried is the eyeliner.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for...

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
