Liz Earle: Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser
Filed Under Blog, Skin Care | Leave a Comment
When you get it right, you get it right…and Liz Earle got it right. She got it so right that she only had to create one face wash for all skin types. And let me tell you, you are going to love this face wash. It is so luxurious that I almost questioned if I needed moisturizer after I used it, and I always use moisturizer. It doesn’t matter if your skin is oily, dry or anything in between this cleanser will leave your skin feeling and looking nourished, glowing and well taken care of.
Liz Earle’s Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser is a two phase process, don’t let that scare you off - it’s easy and like I said, you’ll love it. Apply one pump of this luxurious creamy cleanser onto your skin while it’s dry and massage it circularly onto your face to stimulate your circulation (this circular massage is good in and of itself for wrinkles). You can even massage this over your eyes to get rid of stubborn mascara. Next you rinse the pure muslin cloth (comes with the cleanser starter kit) in hand hot water and wring it out until it’s damp not wet. You then use this to remove the cleanser from your face. The muslin cloth feels mildly exfoliating and so good on your skin, you feel like you’re giving yourself a facial every time you use this. Splash you face with cool water, tone and moisturize and off you go with gorgeous skin.
I know I talk a lot about Liz Earle on my site, the thing is I have not yet found one product that she makes that does not make my skin look and feel wonderful. Her products are all natural, she doesn’t test on animals, they smell amazing and I can always trust her products to do what they say they will. Even if you love what you use now, try Liz Earle and I promise you’ll be hooked!

Lather Skin Care, Gifts From The Sea
Filed Under Bath & Body, Blog | Leave a Comment
I love everything to do with the sea, the smell, the feel of the salt water on your skin, how healthy the things from the sea are for you. Most of all I love all the memories the mere sight of the ocean brings to my mind. Running down the beach as a child, catching my first wave on my boogie board, relaxing in the sun and my first swim with a dolphin.
Of all the sea has to offer, my favorite is kelp, the herb of the sea. Kelp is packed full of vitamins and minerals, is detoxifying and when used on your skin helps regenerate, firms and seals in moisture. Oh, and I love the smell, so purifying.
So you can imagine that when I found Lather’s Sea Kelp Body Wash and Sweet Almond & Sea Kelp Body Lotion I was eager to snatch them up. Wow! Did I experience a treat!
The Body Wash smells so good, clean and pure, like the best spa experience at your favorite hotel. The lotion is fast becoming a staple in my beauty routine. It has a very pleasant soft scent that does not interfere with my perfume, it is rich without being too rich and it makes my skin very soft. The absolute best part about this lotion? It is great for sunburns. A few days ago I forgot to put sunscreen on my arms and received a very unpleasant burn on my shoulder. Thinking the seaweed would feel good on my skin I rubbed this lotion generously into the burn, by the next day the burn was gone!
Incredibly nourishing, gentle, and pampering I highly recommend this line. In addition, Lather does not test on animals or work with labs that do animal testing and they never use artificial fragrances, colors, or synthetic ingredients. Just pure luxury in a bottle.

If you haven’t tried LaLicious yet, I just have one question for you: what are you waiting for? These body butters make your skin so soft and smell so good, you might just throw everything else in your body butter collection away. Maybe you are waiting for a summer scent that takes you to the tropics? If so, I have the thing you’ve been waiting for! It’s the heat of the summer and I say take a vacation every day in your bathroom, bring the islands to you!
The moment you smell the LaLicious Island Guava body butter you are going to feel like you are sitting under a palm tree on the white sand drinking guava juice while you are fanned with island leaves. Sound enticing? Don’t stop there! The Coconut Cream body butter smells so insanely delicious, you will want to know if you can drink it. Unfortunately, LaLicious is not yet making coconut cream pies, but wearing this all day you’ll feel like you’re bitting into one at every moment.
If you are in need of a vacation and you love the smell of the tropics bring these body butters into your daily routine, you skin will never feel so soft and pampered as it will with these.

Simple Practice To Relieve Stress
Filed Under Blog, Health, Well Being | Leave a Comment
Are you experiencing stress in your life? Do you have something you are worried about or some pain you are feeling, be it with yourself or with others? Even in the best times of our lives we all deal with little concerns and anxieties along with unexpected events that seem to disrupt our peace and balance.
Meditation and yoga practices are an amazing way to maintain peace, become centered and gain stability from within. These simple exercises really provided rest, relaxation and are such a simple way to rejuvenate after a long day or during a more stressful time of life. If you can take a little time in the middle of the day, such as a lunch break, you will really find these exercises center you and help you let go of the things that you don’t really need to stress about so you can focus on what you really want in your life.
Start by doing a few stretching exercises, then clasp you hands together centering your hands at the center of your abdomen about one hand width away from you stomach. As you breath in raise you hands up toward your head, as you exhale push your hands down and push your energy down towards your abdomen. Do this several times as you relax, breath and get present to your surroundings.
Next, sit down either on the floor cross legged or on a chair with your feet flat on the ground. Place your hands palm up on your knees and start to breath in and out concentrating on your exhaling. Do this several times just concentrating on your breathing. Now, as you breath in think of something in your life that causes you pain or anxiety, breath in that pain and anxiety fully and breath out peace.
Now shift your focus to something that causes you pain or concern in a community in your life. This could be family, work, friends, any community in which you participate. Breath in the pain or concern with that community and breath out love, peace, and contribution. Now do this with your city, maybe traffic or laws you are concerned about being passed and finish with the planet. Breath in any anxiety, pain or concern and breath out peace, love and contribution.
When you are finished open you eyes and let yourself feel the peace and tranquility surrounding you.
These practices are very simple and can be done focusing on anything that causes you concern or unrest. They are wonderful to practice at night and vastly help with getting a more peaceful nights sleep. These excercises not only provide peace and rest, some studies show that one hour of meditation provides the equal to seven hours of sleep for your body. It creates a whole new definition to the idea of being “well rested”.
