![]() ![]() We’ll be putting in shelving, work stations, a mailing station, and a new space for doing videos. Whew! Moving from the old office to the new one was no easy task, but I am happy to say we are officially in! Such an exciting day to be getting a bigger production space with so much room – definitely not something we are used to. ![]() P.s., our Winter Pumpkin Fresh Mask got a facelit/same recipe, new name – *Pumpkin Spice*. This is a great face mask for skin that is dull, lacking nutrients, receives heavy sun exposure, or has slight oil imbalance. We use a powerful blend of kaolin clay and oil-absorbing fullers earth clay to balance excess oil and remove surface debris. There’s also a sprinkle of black lava salt from the waters of Hawaii, coated with detoxifying coconut charcoal which is helpful for clearing out skin impurities and toxins. To give this face mask a superfood boost, we added one of our other favorite green guys, spinach! Spinach promotes collagen growth and helps reduce redness to promote bright, even skin tone. Kelp, dulse, and spirulina come straight from their big blue source, packing essential seaweed nutrients with protective and restorative properties that help prevent damage from the sun. This face mask brightens skin tone, deep cleans, and nourishes cells with natural minerals from land and the sea. Super Greens – Our Super Greens Fresh Face Mask is high in cell-hydrating potassium, vitamins, and super green goodness. Rhassoul clay is high in restorative essential minerals to promote collagen formation, reducing signs of aging like fine likes and wrinkles. Turmeric nourishes, and can help heal scars and fade dark spots resulting from sun damage and aging skin. For extra sun-punching benefits, we blended in some healing aloe and peppermint to soothe burned or irritated skin. These fruits help build natural resistance to UV rays in skin cells – they have even been shown to prevent and heal skin cancer cell formation. Watermelon and tomato are both extra high in lycopene which is excellent for repairing and protecting skin that gets heavy sun exposure. Inspired by summertime garden favorites, this face mask brings together two powerful, juicy skin fruits plus cooling greens. ![]() Watermelon Mint – You don’t want to work, you just want to play in the sun all day? Well all of that sun exposure is damaging to skin in more ways that just a sunburn. Unveiling our new summer Fresh Masks! Watermelon Mint and Super Greens. Dried lavender stalks can make some nice decorative pieces as well, and can hang on to their scent for quite a while, so they don’t have to head to the trash. Lavender buds can be steeped in oils (steep in a jar for a few days in sunlight to infuse even more of the lavender oils into your body or massage oil), added to your bath or body scrubs, or simply place it in a bowl in open air. You can also remove them with your fingers by gently rubbing them in the opposite direction of growth. The buds will fall away, especially if you let them dry out for a day or two. To easily harvest lavender buds, place freshly trimmed lavender stalks inside of a large bag and shake. Again, you can heat, or even chill, your lavender pillow for relief of your choice. For headaches, place the lavender pillow on top of your head or across the crown (while laying down). I’ve had mine for over two years, and you can pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to release more of the aroma. Fill with dried grains, ground rice, lentils, quinoa, or whatever you have on hand, plus a hefty amount of lavender buds with potent lavender oil. You can make a low-budget version with a sock, or a little bit fancier of a pouch with two rectangles of a nice, soft fabric. ![]() One of my favorite ways to use lavender is in eye pillows that I use both for sleeping and when I have tension headaches. It can help relieve stress, inflammation, tension, and even assist with sleep. The aroma of lavender is said to have many benefits, but most people consider it to be a calming and soothing scent. ![]()
