Jojoba Natural Skin Care

Natural Skin Care

So we have all heard about parabens and all of the awful things they do to our body, along with many other toxic ingredients in our beauty and cleaning supplies. And, if you haven't heard about it...this is a website you should spend some time at Skin Deep. It is amazing, user friendly and full of great information.

So, would you like to know what I chose to use on my skin? My very own potion of Jojoba and essential oils. So inexpensive, so good for your skin and you can customize it for your own skin or aromatherapy preferences!

What is Jojoba? Well, many people refer to it as an oil. In fact, it isn't an oil at all it is what they call a wax ester, which is the most similar to the human skin oil (sebum). The theory behind using this on the skin is that after applying it, it can "trick" the skin into thinking it is producing enough oil therefor balancing oil production.

What are some of the benefits of jojoba?

- it provides all day moisture, it doesn't evaporate like water based moisturizers

-it is very stable, meaning it doesn't go rancid

- it helps stabilize oil production

- OH and for me....this is the only "oil" I use for massage and it doesn't stain my sheets...which is huge in my world :)

Uses for Jojoba

- facial moisturizer

- massage

- great for makeup removal

- lip balm

- hair conditioner

- shaving prep, to help prevent razor burn

- enhance your bath

So, to all of you fabulous people out there, go get your beautiful self some healthy, non-toxic, beauty supplies and remember your skin is the body's largest organ, so if you can't eat it.....don't put it on your SKIN :)

IF you are not a do-it-yourself kind of person and simply want to have an amazing product for your skin, contact me today...we will chat about what you need and I will customize a blend specifically for YOU...YOU DESERVE IT!

2 oz dropper bottles with your own blend of oils for only $15.95

You only use about 5 drops per day, this will last you a very, very long time..........

Quick snap shot

So, who made my day fabulous and made me feel oh-so-special?

Linda, Owner of Linda's Sew Unique

What makes this sweet little hat even better....

It is UP-CYCLED! Meaning it is 100% recycled material that she made totally cute and functional! Does it get any better than that....simply delicious!

She used vintage lambswool from a coat for the outside and on the inside she used this beautiful silk to make it pretty and soft.

She has since made several using all sorts of cool and funky material. So, if you are interested in owning your own custom up-cycled and one of a kind hat...contact her today. Or have your people talk to my people and we can connect you :)

May you all have the best Friday, ever! Have fun, laugh, and remember to breathe......

Slowing Down

02/22/2012 12:13:00

Slowing Down

Breathing. Inhaling Love & Light.

Slowing down thoughts

Slowing down decisions

Slowing down reactions

Slowing down schedules

Breathing and simply allowing yourself to be.

Then continuing to be still and slowly listening to what surfaces.

This is a magical state. Calm, peace, and creativity can now flow.

A dream and desire I once had seems to be a theme right now. When I was the Institute of Integrative Nutrition a small group of us had talked about making a retreat in the jungle....ahhh wouldn't that be sweet! For me, right now, I see teaching yoga in the jungle.

Maybe this is because I have watched Tarzan the movie about 10 times with Eli and am feeling the jungle love? HA! Who knows?

But there I spoke my truth, this is something I would like to plan in the future and maybe we will meet in the jungle? :)
