Preparing for Mommy's Day

Mother's Day is fast approaching. For consumers seeking out the perfect gift for mom, craft shows, flea markets and street fairs offer up some very unique and affordable gifts. For business owners who supply items such as gift baskets and gift sets, Mother's Day season can be a great opportunity to show off what your company has to offer, making a profitable time of year.

I'm preparing for a big event the day before Mother's Day in Buffalo, NY where I'll be showcasing Blended Naturals bath and body products along side our handcrafted line of soy wax candles.

Since the event is the day before Mother's Day, rather than offer a variety of individual products I will be showcasing an assortment of bath and body Gift Sets.

Now, Buffalo is a loooong ways away from home (8 hour drive) but it will be a profitable one so I'm going to suck it up, pile my family into the car along with all my bath and body goodies and make a go of it!

Hope to see you if you are in the Buffalo area.

Brighten It and Bring It

Your skin can be one of your best features or one of your worst. The good news is whatever condition your skin is in, while you are working to improve your skin’s health, you can brighten it up and make it appear more radiant by the colors you wear on your top half.

It doesn’t matter if you have pale or dark skin; certain colors have the ability to bring out the beauty in your skin tone. Isn’t that wonderful? I know that I have yet to arrive at the “Your Skin is All That Baby” destination. However, while working towards the goal, there are changes than can be made to your wardrobe that will help you to look your best…for the moment!

Below are recommended colors that you can wear on your top half to reduce the appearance of blemishes and make your skin look more radiant:

Pale/Light Skin Tone: Wear bright clear colors like Orange/Red, Lavender, Deep Purple, Blues and Emerald Green.

Golden/Rosey Skin Tone: Wear earth toned colors such as browns, yellows (including yellowish greens), greens, pink, blue in all shades. Black is also acceptable for a slimming effect

Olive Brown Skin Tone: Pink and orange are your best colors. Aqua blue looks good on you as well

Dark Skin Tone: Wear colors like plum, ruby red, and forest green


Here’s to Fresh, Radiant Skin!
Work Towards it and Bring It

Natural Skin Care Sampling

It seems as though natural skin care products are a "dime a dozen" online. However, a skin care product does not have to be 100% chemical free to be classified as natural. While some natural skin care lines do have minimal traces of chemicals, the two chemicals you really want to avoid are Sodium Lauryl, Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate or Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Methylparaben (or anything ending in "paraben"). These chemicals are potentially dangerous for your skin and your health.

Blended Naturals does not contain any of these chemicals and is known for being kind to sensitive skin.
The Blended Naturals "Super Beauty Sampler" contains an assortment of natural skin care samples for $9.99 and is available online at www.freshradiantskin.com.

Blended Naturals is making it's mark

Blended Naturals is a NEW mineral skin care and bath spa line making it's way into the world of beauty...

Beauty Bloggers around the country are recognizing the quality and effectiveness of this natural skin care line. From bath teas, shower gels, whipped body creams and salves to detoxifying cleansing gels, toner and brown sugar scrub and mask, Blended Naturals is rapidly becoming a hit in the world of beauty.

Like any beauty product, it take some time for the public to catch on. Of course, that's not the case with huge companies that have deep pockets and large R&D (research and development) teams. However, for those of us without a name.......yet, we have to work twice as hard to get our creations noticed.

I'm very proud to present Blended Naturals to the world.

Here are just a couple of bloggers who have reviewed this wonderful personal care product line:

Blended Naturals Launch Party

To Welcome Blended Naturals, my new Dead Sea Mineral and Natural Skin Care and Bath Spa line, I had a Spa Party on February 7, 2009. It was a lot of fun. Here's what took place:

• Facials
• Foot Soaks
• Product Sampling
• Buffet Food (Notice in the video people mention the fantastic cupcakes...courtesy of www.ILoveAmyCakes.com
  
• Music
• Viewing of the bloopers for my YouTube Video (still a work in progress)
  
• Raffling of several pampering items including a Spa Gift Basket, Memory Foam Slippers, a Homedics Massager, A vanilla bean Spa Night Gift Set and a last minute bottle of Organic Shower Gel

Check out the video of the spa party. My daughter played amateur videographer. It was nice and kind of silly in some ways since there was supposed to be no men but one of the ladies brought her son and of course there was my husband lurking around. He had to be there though. He was the cook!

Intrigue with the "Natural"

This weekend I attended a women's retreat and distributed a bunch of natural skin and bath care samples. I've discovered that people are more intrigued with using natural skin care products than I first anticipated.

Most people use popular consumer products because that's whey are conditioned to do. They are used to the big name brands because the manufacturers of these large brands have deep pockets and can put out some serious advertising (true or not) about these products.

When you introduce something new such as natural skin care, the reaction is more welcoming than anticipated. The women at the retreat were absolutely thrilled by the products and couldn't believe how clean and delightful the scents were and still have no heavy preservatives and chemicals in them.

So, if you are trying to promote a natural line of products, don't be discouraged. You'll be surprised at the level of interest. Many people are "going green" and trying to live healthier lives, that includes personal skin care products. More people are educating themselves about the pros of natural skin care and the cons & dangers of chemically laced products. The more people take an interest in what they put on their bodies, the more you will see people moving away from the so called popular brands and moving towards "the natural".
