2 New Items - One Available Today!

Sorry, I haven't written on my blog in awhile but I wanted to let you know that Very Sexy for men (soap) will most likely be up for sale sometime today. I was pleasantly surprised at first whiff as this is not heavy at all - it's clean, but definitely masculine. I can really see why this is a popular fragrance.

The second newest item I will be offering very soon is the 1 oz size version of my 3-in-1 Spray. This can be considered either a sample or travel size of the original size body/linen/room spray. Perfect for trying out a new scent or maybe you just need something smaller to carry with you.

Not For Men Only

Since several of my customers really seemed to love my Rainforest soap, I am now bringing it back. For those of you that never had a chance to try it you will now have that opportunity.

It does have a definitive pine and fur tree scent to it, so it can appeal to both women and men, but *I* think there is also something manly and rugged about it as well.So this is another added to the "Not for men only" list of soaps :-)

Beauty Tips Using Household Vinegar

Vinegar is a wonderful and inexpensive addition to your beauty regimen. Vinegar can help restore the natural acidity of your skin, which may clear up skin problems such as dryness, itching, flaking, and acne.

Age Spots: Vinegar mixed with onion juice may help reduce the appearance of age spots. Mix equal parts onion juice and vinegar, and dab onto the age spots. After several weeks of this daily routine, the spots should lighten.

Itchy Skin: To relieve itchy skin and/or aching muscles, add 8 ounces apple cider vinegar to a bathtub of warm water. Soak in the tub for at least 15 minutes.

Put on a Happy Face

Vinegar can be a useful addition to your skincare routine for your face.

Aftershave: Apple cider vinegar is a great aftershave for men that will help keep their skin soft and young looking. Keep a small bottle of it in the medicine cabinet, and splash on face after shaving.

Cleansers and Toners: Use a mixture of half vinegar, half water to clean your face. Then rinse with vinegar diluted with water, and let your face air dry to seal in the moisture.

Problem skin: Oily skin can be controlled with a mixture of half apple cider vinegar and half cool water. The mixture works as an astringent. You can also freeze this solution into ice cubes and use it as a cooling facial treatment on a hot summer day.

Make a paste of honey, wheat flour, and vinegar, then use it to lightly cover a new outbreak of pimples. Keep the paste on overnight, and rinse it off in the morning. This should accelerate the healing process.

Help Your Hands

People judge us by how our hands look. Vinegar can make a difference.

Chapped Skin: Mix equal parts vinegar and hand cream to help chapped hands.

Nail Polish: Make your nail polish last longer on your fingers by soaking fingertips for 1 minute in 2 teaspoons vinegar and 1/2 cup warm water before applying the polish.

Scrub: Clean very dirty hands by scrubbing with cornmeal that has been moistened with a little bit of apple cider vinegar. Rinse in cool water, then dry.

Healthy Hair

Yes, vinegar can make your hair cleaner and shinier.

Conditioning: Vinegar is a great hair conditioner and can improve cleanliness and shine. For simple conditioning, just add 1 tablespoon vinegar to your hair as you rinse it. This can be used right after shampooing with my Rosemary & Jojoba Shampoo and Body Bar.

Dandruff: Massage full-strength vinegar into your scalp several times a week before shampooing. This can help create healthy hair and control dandruff.

Shave Bar - Who Wants One?

I was planning on creating a shave bar made from the mango butter and goats milk base which would have the perfect "slip" for a clean shave and at the same time be great for sensitive or dry skin.

New Lotion Size

I just added a 4 oz lotion jar to my goats milk lotion collection. For those of you that want to try this lotion for the first time, but don't want the spend as much for the 8 oz size, this is perfect. Maybe you just would like to sample a new scent, but are unsure if you'll love it enough to finish a larger size. Either way, there are now two size choices for your convenience.

New Year - New Scents - New Products

Once most of the holiday items have been cleared out I will be bringing in some more new scents and products.

• Mango Butter & Goats Milk Shave Bar - unscented and possibly in Bay Rum
• Beneath The Stars Goats Milk Soap ( a blend of Grape, Peach, Citrus, Plum, Rose and Musk) - and available in all my other scented products
• French Vanilla - I will put up a vote again just for this one to see if there is still interest in this as a soap
