White sage is also known as sacred sage. The leaves and flowers of sage are antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, extremely antioxidant, antiseptic, antiviral, astringent and healing. Sage essential oil is described as a refreshing camphoraceous top-middle note with a spicy warm undertone.

Love Lavender?

Love relaxing in a soothing aroma while lathering up in the sink or the shower? Stock up with a case of  Pyrenees Lavender with Cardamom Bar Soaps!The word "lavender" is actually derived from the Latin lavare meaning "to wash" as this herb has such a long tradition in cleansing. Lavender can be used by all skin types and is safe for everyone including children and pregnant women, but is best for blemished, delicate-sensitive, oil-rich, pale-devitalized and traumatized skin. Lavender oil is one of the only essential oils that can be applied undiluted, or "neat," to the skin. The aroma of lavender is described as a smooth, sweet floral top-middle note with an herbaceous undertone. Lavender oil is a potent healing agent both mentally and physically. Its properties for mind include: calming, relaxing, clarifying, stimulating, healing and appeasing. Emotional benefits include ease of: anxiety, depression, hysteria, impatience, fatigue, shock, suspicion and tension.

Cardamom is one of the oldest essential oils known. Egyptians used it in perfumes and incense, and also chewed the seeds to keep their teeth white. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), cardamom has long been described as a Qi tonic, not only warming and invigorating to the lungs, spleen and nerves, but also having an effect on the spirit or mind, similar to that of basil, removing listlessness and depression often found in chronic Qi deficiency conditions. Its main properties for skin are antiseptic and cleansing. Cardamom oil's aroma is described as a warm, spicy middle-base note with the following properties for mind: energizing, stimulating and aphrodisiac. 

Love Geranium?

Take delight and wonder in your cleansing rituals. You’ll be refreshed,

elevated, and energized.  Stock up on our Italian White Sage, Geranium & Yarrow Bar Soaps!

Geranium's action on the nervous system is pronounced; it's a sedative with uplifting characteristics. Geranium is a stimulant of the adrenal cortex and can be used to balance the production of androgens or octoroons, such as during menopause. Described as a minty-fruity floral top-middle note with rosy undertones, geranium oil is an important perfume ingredient, and one of the most feminine of the essential oils. Its properties for mind include: balancing, calming, cooling, refreshing, relaxing, soothing and uplifting. It promotes feelings of happiness and peace, and eases anxiety, depression, panic, stress and tension.

Winter Skin Care: Face

As we prepare for Thanksgiving and ready ourselves for winter storms we might need a little help. With our skin, that is. Chapped lips and dry, dull skin abound at this time of year. Lucky for us, regular exfoliation and moisturizing oils will do the trick.

Step 1:

Thoroughly exfoliate face, neck, and especially chapped lips with Egyptian Geranium with Adzuki Bean & Cranberry Facial Scrub

ABOUT: This purifying scrub provides gentle, manual exfoliation while its astringent properties help clarify and tighten pores. The ingredients nourish the skin with antioxidants and optimize cellular function. Certified to NSF/ANSI 305 by QAI / Gluten-Free / Vegan / Award Winning Product

BENEFITS: Enzymatic exfoliants work to dissolve expired skin cells while mechanical exfoliants gently free them up to be rinsed away. Raw, ground-up adzuki bean has been used in skin preparations for centuries in Japan. It provides gentle, manual exfoliation while its astringent properties help clarify and tighten pores. Both cranberry seed and geranium oil offer skin-brightening attributes, which assist with reducing hyper-pigmentation (dark spots due to sun exposure and past acne breakouts). The ingredients in this Scrub nourish the skin with antioxidants that scavenge free-radicals and optimize cellular function, resulting in more radiant skin and increased cell turnover.

DIRECTIONS: Apply a nickel-size amount to your palm and gently massage into face, neck and décolleté with your fingertips, using upward circular motions and avoiding the delicate eye area. For full enzymatic potential, leave on for about 30 seconds, then massage for another 30 seconds. Rinse well with warm water. Use 2-3 times per week. Oily complexions will benefit from daily use.

AWARDS:  

• Redbook 2007 MVP Beauty Awards, Best Scrub
• ShapeYou GearAwards 2007, Top Gear of the Year Award

Step 2:

Spritz French Rosemary with Sweet Orange Facial Toner on face and neck.  Click here to watch our video for toner tips!

ABOUT: Our toner completes the cleansing process by removing dirt and oil, refining pores, and preparing your skin to receive the benefits of our Facial Cream. Toner will benefit you most after cleansing, before moisturizing and is also great for spritzing throughout the day to refresh you and your skin. Certified under the USDA National Organic Program / Gluten-Free / Vegan / Pangea Organics Award Winning

BENEFITS: Harmonize and Hydrate. Toner completes the cleansing process by removing all traces of dirt and oil, refining pores, bringing the skin to balance and preparing it to thoroughly receive the benefits of our Facial Cream. Take your skin care regimen to the next level with this nurturing facial mist for use after cleansing and before moisturizing. Also ideal for use throughout the day to refresh, remove impurities and awaken your senses. French Rosemary & Sweet Orange Facial Toner delivers targeted herbal extracts that are ideal for dry to sensitive skin types.

DIRECTIONS: Following Facial Cleanser or scrub; close your eyes and mouth, mist face, neck and décolleté 3-6 times. Breathe deeply to enjoy the aromatherapeutic benefits. Best if used morning and night. For optimal results, follow with Italian Red Mandarin with Rose Facial Cream.

AWARDS: 

• Natural Solutions "Beauty with a Conscience" Award 2009, Best Toner

Step 3:

Slather Himalayan Geranium & Pomegranate Facial oil all over face and neck

ABOUT: This truly unique combination of beneficial oils derived from organic vegetables, seeds and nuts nourishes, protects your skin and promotes timeless beauty. Rich in antioxidants, EFAs and vitamins, this potent, self-loving treatment is beneficial for all skin types and is especially healing for dry and mature complexions. Certified to NSF/ANSI 305 by QAI / Gluten-Free / Vegan / Pangea Organics Award Winning

BENEFITS: We're all looking for a little more balance in our lives. It's the key to being at our best. Same holds true for our skin. It's in this spirit that we created this Balancing Oil a truly unique combination of beneficial oils derived from whole, organic, cold-pressed vegetables, seeds and nuts. Rich in naturally occurring antioxidants, essential fatty acids and vitamins, it nourishes, protects and combats the signs of aging. Beneficial for all skin types and an absolute MUST for dry to mature skin, this treatment absorbs deeply to preserve intrinsic moisture and bring your skin into sweet harmony.

DIRECTIONS: Apply to clean, moist skin where needed: forehead, cheekbones, chin, neck and décolleté. Gently massage in upward circular motions. Stimulating these areas will increase circulation and allow deep penetration of active ingredients. Recommended: partial pump for combo to oily skin, full pump for dry to mature skin. Apply before or mix with Facial Cream best suited to your skin type.

AWARDS: 

• Better Nutrition Magazine "Best of Beauty" Award 2010
• ShapeYou GearAwards Seal of Excellence 2009
• Allure Magazine "Best of Beauty" Award 2009, Natural Wonders

Step 4: 

Smooth on Italian Red Mandarin with Rose Lip Balm. Then keep it in your pocket or purse for repeat applications

ABOUT: Our Lip Balm contains healing oils to provide tremendous long-lasting moisture without that unwanted waxy feeling. Rich in vitamins, nutrients, and essential fatty acids, each Lip Balm contains powerful healing properties that are good for you, and good for your lips. Certified under the USDA National Organic Program / Gluten-Free / Pangea Organics Award Winning

BENEFITS:  Free of petroleum and synthetics, our lip balm allows a unique blend of organic oils to sink into the skin, rather than sealing them off from moisture. Organic Tamanu, Sunflower, Jojoba, Hemp, and Shea oils deeply hydrate and protect lips from moisture loss while imparting naturally occurring fatty acids into the skin.

DIRECTIONS: For restoration and hydration, apply to lips and cuticles as needed.

AWARDS:

DIY Family Craft - Recycled Jack O'Lanterns

RECYCLED JACK O'LANTERNS 

by Emily, Not So Idle Hands

 

Materials you will need to make Cute & Spooky Glowing Jack 0’Lanterns:

 

-     5 glass jars of varying sizes

 

-     orange tissue paper

 

-     Mod Podge 

 

-     black paper

 

-     green paint

 

Instructions:

 

1.       Start by cutting the tissue paper into strips about 1.5 to 2 inches wide. Measure the height of your jars and cut the tissue paper strips to that size.

 

2.       Paint Mod Podge, a section at a time, onto the outside of the jar. Lay down a strip of paper and smooth it down w ell. Then, move onto the next section. Don’t worry if it’s a little wrinkly, it doesn’t show once it’s dry! TIP: overlap the strips of orange paper to make it look more like the texture of a pumpkin!

 

3.       Keep going till you get the jar covered. Then, work on cutting out the faces for them. You can check out these links to download templates of the faces as well: 

http://s678.photobucket.com/user/emilie30/media/IMG-1.jpg.html

http://s678.photobucket.com/user/emilie30/media/IMG_0001-1.jpg.html

 

4.       Glue the faces on and paint the tops with some green paint. Then brush on a coat or two of Mod Podge – the glossy kind makes it look like the image is part of the jar. 

 

5.       Let them dry for 24 hours.

 

6.       Once the jars are dry, place them in a row and put a strand of white holiday lights equally in each jar and enjoy your fun Halloween decorations!

Healthy Travel Snacks

Healthy Travel Snacks  

 

Here are some tips that will help you eat healthy on your travels!

 

1. Look up natural food stores and grocery stores in the area you will be traveling to that carry the foods you will need. If you are going on a road trip, research health food stores at the larger cities along your way. Do this planning before you leave, so when you arrive it will be a breeze! Do the same for restaurants. If vegan options are not available, search out ethnic eateries and those that are plant-based friendly. Mexican, Indian, Chinese, Middle Eastern, and Ethiopian cuisine will typically have options that will delight your taste buds and your body. 

2. Pack some healthy snacks for the ride ahead. Don't rely on airplane food or the gas station food along the way for proper nourishment. Some great examples are: nuts, dried fruit (without added sugar), fruits and vegetables, hummus, nut butters, kale chips, granola.

3. Pack your healthy necessities. A good plant-based protein powder and a dried greens powder (like wheatgrass powder, chlorella, or a blend of greens) will be fantastic ways for you to get that healthy summer glow from the inside out! You can toss them in a container with some water or almond milk and perhaps a sweetener of your choice for a delicious, healthy drink on the go. This is a great option to have when fresh veggies or a big salad isn’t readily available.

4. Pack a large water bottle if you're flying and a gallon, if you're on the road. It's very important to stay hydrated when traveling this summer. We also suggest packing coconut water, because it's super hydrating. 

 

 

Easy Snack Ideas:

Frozen Grapes

Wash a bunch of your favorite organic grapes, put them in a travel container and toss in the freezer before you go on your trip. The natural sweetness of the grapes will be amplified when they're frozen. Frozen grapes are nature's mini popsicles! These are good for a summer roadtrip, but be sure to keep them in a small cooler or eat them within the first hour of driving. 

Apples with Cinnamon and Lemon

Chop up a few organic apples, place them in a container with a lid, sprinkle them with a few teaspoons of cinnamon and lemon juice, close the container and shake until all of the slices are evenly coated. The best proportions to use are half a teaspoon of cinnamon and two tablespoons of lemon juice for every medium sized apple. Try a few slices and see if you'd like a little more of either ingredient. This is a great travel snack because the lemon juice slows down the apple's process of browning so you can enjoy them long into your trip. Do bring some napkins with you because the cinnamon is a little messy. 

 

Kale Chips

 

Prepare baked kale chips by first removing the stems and tear leaves into large pieces. Add a bit of olive oil and “massage” the oil into the leaves to ensure all the nooks and crannies are coated. Spread kale onto a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake at 300F for 10 minutes, then rotate the pan, and bake for another 15 minutes. Once out of the oven, cool for 3 minutes. 
 

 

DIY Travel Wrap

Travel Wrap  

A fantastic way to stay organized on your summer adventure is to make your own travel bag for all your grooming goodies. You can use a towel, some scrap fabric, a fun print from your local thrift store or even an old item of clothing that you would like to bring new life to. Instead of purchasing something  brand new, upcycle it! We recommend using a material that is thick and will have a little padding to protect your precious items. The size also ranges widely. You can use a small hand towel or something larger. In this tutorial, we used a pair of pajama bottoms. You will also need some ribbon, string, twine or something of that nature to tie your travel bag up and zip off on your adventure. Once you have your chosen material follow this easy tutorial:

Supplies:

Sewing machine (If you don't have a sewing machine, you can do this project by hand as well.) 

Sewing pins

Scissors

Ruler

Needle

Thread

Fabric

Ribbon, string or twine

Instructions:

Step 1. Decide what purpose you want this bag to serve. Do you want it to hold all of your toiletries, or just the ones you travel with, or perhaps just your makeup brushes? This will determine how much space your travel bag will need to contain and thus what dimensions it is. Once you've made this call, gather all of your items and measure how wide each of them are. Add that width up. This number will be your rough estimate for the minimum width your material will need to be. If you know you have extra material to work with, we suggest adding a few extra inches or even doubling your width to account for any new products or items that you may want to add into the mix. It's up to you!

Step 2. So now that we have the width of the travel bag, you need to know the height. To do this, look at all of your items and measure your tallest item. The height of your rectangle should be about triple the height of your tallest item. 

Step 3. Cut your material into a workable rectangle. Perhaps double up my material for more padding. You may need to iron your material to achieve a perfect rectangle.

Step 4. Sew a zigzag stitch around the entire rectangle if you need to clean your sides up. 

Step 5. Divide the rectangle into thirds hot dog style and then fold the bottom third up onto the middle third. This will create your pocket where your items will go. The top third will fold over the pocket so the items don't fall out when it is wrapped up.

Step 6. Place all of your items on the folded up third to see how they'll all fit and be spaced. Give a little extra room to items that will bulge out of their pockets more than the thinner items.  

Step 7. Place pins connecting the middle and folded over bottom third at the midpoints between items. 

Step 8. Remove items. Sew lines along the pin's guidelines and removing the pins as you go. As you sew over the edge of the fold where the pocket entrances are, double back a few times to reinforce the stitch. 

Step 9. Attach your ribbon the best way you see fit. We opted to cut a small hole in the seam, stick the halved ribbon in and then sew over it again. 

Fold the top third down, roll it from left to right, tie a bow and you're good to go!
