Time to Come Clean!

Have you taken the time to come clean lately? I mean REALLY clean! Our new line of facial masks are designed to help deep clean your pores, leaving you squeaky clean and fresh faced!



Our new line of facial masks are what are called "Dry Face Masks". What does this mean exactly? To start with, exactly how it sounds! The mask arrives completely dry. There are no liquids in these masks. By not adding any liquids we've done two things. 1. We've eliminated the need for a synthetic preservative. These products are 100% natural. And 2. You get to customize the mask to fit your skin perfectly by changing the liquid you add to use your mask!

What mask should I get?

Normal or Combination Skin: Pomegranate Power Mask, Triple Comfort Mask

Oily or Acne Prone Skin: Zebra Face Charcoal Mask, Parisian Glow Mask

Sensitive or Dry Skin: Soothing Lavender Mask, Milk 'n' Honey Mask (coming soon)


What a few of our customers have had to say so far:

  • Soothing Lavender: "WONDERFUL! Very refreshing for my sensitive skin!"
  • Triple Comfort: "I absolutely love this mask! I love the smell of it as you open the jar, and wow, I so noticed a really visible improvement on the look of my pores! This definitely a must have!"
  • Zebra Face: "I really feel like this cleaned out my pores - thanks!"
  • Parisian Glow: "I'm so impressed with this mask! My face does literally glow!! Really perfect mask to use before a big day when you want to look radiant! Lindsay, I've become a huge fan of your masks! Another must have!"

You can find these wonderful new masks on our Website or in our Etsy Shop.

It's SHEA Beautiful!

One of my favorite Ingredients has ALWAYS been Shea Butter. So much so that I created a Treasury on Etsy chocked filled with Shea Butter Goodies!

Many people nowadays have heard of Shea Butter. It's even in baby wipes now! To the big companies, it's a marketing ingredient. To me, I use it because of it many wonderful properties.

Shea Butter is a solid fatty oil made from the nuts of Karite Nut Trees that grow in the savannah regions of Africa. Shea Butter is often called "women's gold," because the extraction of the butter gives employment to hundreds of thousands of rural African women. Shea butter is also so non-toxic and beneficial that is used in foods and cooking as well as soaps and beauty products.

Shea Butter is said to have the following qualities and more:
  • Creates a soft pleasant skin sensation
  • Protects the skin from drying out
  • Accelerates the Healing of superficial skin wounds and skin irritation
  • Well tolerated by the skin
It also has been shown to provide relief from the following:
  • Dry Skin (face & body)
  • Skin Cracks
  • Shaving Bumps
  • Eczema
  • Loss of Skin Elasticity
  • Wrinkles & Blemishes
  • Stretch Marks During Pregnancy
  • Relief of Rheumatism
  • Eases Muscle and Joint Pain
It only has one major caution... If you are allergic to Latex, please do a skin patch test first.

When shopping for products with Shea Butter, keep one major thing in mind, the placement of the Shea Butter on the Ingredient List. All ingredients are listed in descending order, meaning that the more there is of a certain ingredient, the closer to the top it'll be listed. You want Shea Butter to be as close to the top as possible! One of my biggest pet peeves is when a company markets their product as being so great because it contains Shea Butter, only to find out that the amount it contains is so pathetically small they may as well have not bothered including it! Unfortunately it happens all too often. So if you haven't gotten into the habit of reading labels, don't you think it's time to learn what it is you're putting on your body?
