Years ago, when we first started investing our lives and passion into natural skin care, we were often referred to as ‘on the cutting edge’. Homemade crafters sold at fairs and we discovered Vermont. Venturing south to shows in Manchester, vending in huge carnival tents nestled on verdant farm lands, was a ‘circus’ made in heaven. The crowds came and they loved us.
For 2 years we relished the...

Ian Coffin in an artist living in Windsor, Ontario. He sculpts in soapstone and wood and is mostly self taught. He has been sculpting for 15 years. To make his uniquely designed soap dishes, Ian hand cuts blocks of food grade Brazilian soapstone. The dishes are then shaped using a variety of carvers’ rasps and are wet sanded to a smooth finish. This is where the magic begins as the distinctive...

I am traveling down the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica with my family and am running out of supplies. We are attempting the impossible; moving to paradise. Apparently the third world costs a fortune. We have been discovering the increasing tourist prices and the decaying Canadian dollar to USD. Transplanting your family on a limited budget is a challenge, especially when you are accustomed to...

After my weekly Yin/Meditation class, I went to hug Carly, my guru mentor. Her peaceful energy and wise nature somehow heals my soul, even if just a little. She asked how I was doing, I suppose she sensed trepidation in my eyes. As I was telling her about my best friend who was sick in the hospital and how petrified I was, I giggled. It felt both natural and strange, for this was no laughing...

Every summer, in our GMC Savannah, pulling our RV ‘tag a-long’, we cruise the inside lane of the 401, from the East to the West. A cross-country trek to deliver our own natural skin care products. Market to market with our soaps, oils, salts, creams and lotions.
We do work hard. We enjoy the adventure. We love the venues and meeting people from all over our country. We know we live in one of...

I'd like to share a heartwarming story about a young mother and practicing naturopath. Lise was desperate to find help for her six-month-old baby, Luke, suffering terribly with eczema, a most difficult skin condition to treat. Lise had tried everything. She was seeking an alternative to the prescribed steroid creams.
Lise had heard about ‘Earth To Body’ by word of mouth. We do not advertise nor...

Time and time again, I hear ‘success’ testimonials from my customers. This next story is particularly heartfelt. Once again, ‘One of a Kind Christmas Show’. Toronto. My favorite show of the year. Non-stop!
A young man walks in, a good looking guy, but seeming quite distraught. He selects one of the literature explanations we offer. I walk over to say hi. With no dilly-dallying, he asks, “Can you...

We have had many memorable encounters over the last 15 years. This one story will stick with me forever. Such an experience keeps me going and what makes me love what I do so much. It takes place at the Edmonton Butterdome Signatures Craft Show. A Saturday and quite busy. The day just flies by. I finish up with a customer and go to grab a quick break. On my return a young girl comes in. Her...

Emu Oil is used for so many ailments. We do not advertize it as such, but our customers do. I could talk about Emu Oil 'till the cows come home', for all of its amazing healing properties. What it’s done for me alone is a book of blogs. I use it cosmetically, regularly and love it more than any other product I have ever used. But check out this story...
It’s late afternoon, a hot day, almost...
