Treat your face to an Earth to Body Facial.
1 Soap: Wash your face with any of our soaps (yes, it could be the shampoo bar). Favourites for the face are the emu neem or the argan tamanu. If you use the Nori Neem, be gentle and do not rub, as it contains pumice.

Soy wax is NOT hot. It caresses the skin. Traditional waxes are paraffin (not recommended), and the lovely beeswax . (always a wonderful candle...

What can I say? Our argan oil IS the absolute best. Last month, when our argan oil order arrived to Canada from Morocco, Health Canada decided to hold it for testing.
“Why now?", I pondered. "This is a first." The answer will become clear in a moment.

This is not the first time I have written about sunscreen. It frightens me so. Last year I vented in 'Dear Cosmetic World, Am I a Bad Mother?'
Now is the time of year when everyone here in the north is thinking about protecting themselves from the hot summer sun. It IS wise to protect ourselves. But HOW we do it is important.

A lip caress with with raw brown sugar and a little oil. What could be sweeter?Sugar acts as an exfoliant, removing dead skin cells, making your lips soft. The perfect pucker.
Sugar scrubs can be delightful for the whole body, but I particularly like the idea for the lips. Whatever we touch to our lips, we taste, so it might as well be pleasant.
The following is a recipe (verbatim) I found in...

This was our first and most successful visit to the Filberg Festival. (Comox, Vancouver Island) Thank you Vancouver Islanders. We loved our booth in the woods and who could not love you?
At this fabulous festival I heard a ‘first account’ tamanu story. Since the oil itself is fairly new to Canada, we are all still learning about its miraculous properties. I have read and studied about this...

I remember meeting a customer from Somalia. This young man came to Alberta, Canada ( where it is especially dry) three years ago and experienced quite a shock to his skin. It was like a vacuum had sucked away all his moisture, leaving his lips dry, cracked, and bleeding. The doctor gave him Vaseline for his dry lips, told him not too talk so much and also advised him to keep his tongue father...
