best sugar scrub for dry, sensitive skin, toxin free, clean beauty products, EWG

Ahhh, January. Love the cool weather and the rain--don't love dry, flaky skin on hands and feet.

Why is our skin so dry looking this time of year?

Lack of humidity in our homes, offices, and public places from running indoor heat, along with cold temperatures and wind, can leave the skin dry, cracked and cause hands to be red and flaky.

You can apply all the hand cream you want to dry hands and feet, but if you don't

Top 5 Spring flowers and their meanings-did yours make the list?

There is no denying flowers evoke an emotional response in a woman. Just watch a woman's face light up when she receives a bouquet of flowers.

Flowers depict many qualities that women love to be associated with. These include beauty, fragrance, ardent love, grace, charm, daintiness, a new beginning, life, and romance. 

We women innately love things which are alive.  Flowers—particularly roses—have been symbolic of romance.

Entertaining, Jamie Farr, Organics, healthy foods

This past weekend we entertained (again!) and I've decided 6 people, is the magic number for me, when it comes to entertaining. It makes for wonderful conversation at the table and not an overwhelming amount of work for me.  Because I like to do everything myself, I have a tendency to overdue it.  It's important that what I serve is healthy (well maybe not the

natural deodorant, probiotic, no underarm odor

This week we're launching our NEW Natural Probiotic Deodorant, Pure Protection. What makes this deodorant different, besides being natural? Simple, it works! Over the past 3 years, I've personally tried at least a dozen different natural deodorants...none worked.

"Oh, you should try these, they are more potent and effective than the organic lines." the assistant proclaimed, and the dermatologist concurred.  When my client shared this story with me, I wasn't surprised; inaccurate information abounds.
