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?

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference. Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells. I take it myself. Tryptophan will help heal the intestines. Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. I take mine with magnesium before bedtime...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago. As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium. A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake. With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.

I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.
