Pampered Feet
Get your feet ready for some post shopping pampering!
This week, as you hit those post Thanksgiving “Black Friday” sales, be sure and treat yourself to some pampered feet when you get home! Walking around at the mall and pounding the concrete in your best shoes all day can be rough on your poor tootsies. It’s no wonder that you end up with sore, achy feet and ankles as you pile up on gifts you’ve found for your friends and family at all those wonderful sales. If you’re like me, when you get home, you basically drop all the shopping bags and purse at the door, slip off those shoes and head for the sanctity of the master bathroom for some pampering.
A good foot soak is a wonderful way to sooth those aches and pains from wearing your new Prada boots at the shopping center. Sure, you were just trying to break them in and besides what an opportune way to show them off to the girlfriends, right? But by the time you get home, more than just the boots are broke in. You are left with swollen red feet that look like they’ve been squeezed all day.

Slushies
Mmm, is that not just a yummy name? When Krista said she was coming out with a product called slushy, I knew it would be an awesome marketing theme. Here’s the description of the newest product in The Scented Tub line.
Slushies are a new White Sugar Honey Scrub. If you have tried our other scrubs you know they are not oily and thick. But Slushies are and they are fun and look and feel like slushies.
Made with Rich Natural Ingredients Paraben Free Professional Grade Formula Treat skin to a wonderfully smooth feel with this luxurious, non-irritating blend of pure cane sugar crystals and skin-softening Safflower Oil.
It is formulated to gently slough away dull cells, rinse clean and give your skin a soft, sensual glow.
Why Sugar ? Salts scrubs are great and have their own benefits but what can be more fun than a Sugar Scrub. Besides the fact that sugar cane crystals are great for gentle exfoliation, from a marketability point of view Sugar Scrubs appeal to a greater range of clients. It kinda puts the fun back into the task of maintaining healthy radiant skin.
Sugar on the skin is an emollient, a mild emulsifier and a humectant which helps soften and soothe the skin. It is often used to correct dryness and scaling. The sugar grains used in our formula easily dissolve on the skin while providing excellent exfoliation properties.
We have also added some Vitamin E which is a antioxidant often used in anti aging products, it helps maintain healthy skin.
Can It Get better than that? Oh yes it can! We made it Paraben Free!
We use Phenoxyethanol as a preservative. It is a Rose Ester with a low sensitizing factor. It effectively preserves the base without parabens.

Reasons for using Oils
Oil Bath: Stress Management, Physical Health and More
By: Dev Sri
Massaging your body with oil before you take a bath brings physical and mental advantages. Regular oil massage with appropriate oil – coconut oil or sesame oil – has its advantages like lowered stress, better physical fitness, lower blood pressure, etc are some of them.
Oil massage is of great help to people living in hot conditions. The oil massage can calm the nervous system, circulatory system and mind.
Asthangahridaya, an ancient treatise on Ayurveda suggests daily application of oil on head, ears and feet. This is effective against creases on skin, arthritic pain and fatigue.
The main goal of oil massages is maintenance of smoothness and moisture of skin. People living in hot countries and working under extremely hot conditions have their sebum easily dried up.
This drying up of skin can make the body exposed to pathogens. The sebum, secreted by sebaceous glands and filled up on the skin surface, acts as a layer of protection against pathogens. With less sebum, the skin and body is vulnerable.
An oil massage can reverse this condition, give moisture and help skin retain its normal conditions.
Oil Massages in Treatments
Ayurveda suggests massage treatments for variety of conditions. Medicinal herbs are boiled in coconut or sesame oil.
The herbs are mixed well with the oil. When applied to the skin, a portion of the medicines reach the blood, just like injection. However, only a limited amount of active components reach the blood.
The oil gives flexibility to skin and after massaging with medicated oils, one can experience freedom from conditions like arthritis.
Abhayangam is full body oil massage, specially formulated to bring in several mental and physical benefits like relaxation, immunity, flexibility, etc.
From simple coconut oil and sesame oil to fully medicated oils of varying qualities, you can find a variety of massage oils. There are also specially formulated oils for head massage, which promote hair growth.
Regular oil massage, especially on head, ears and soles, as is said by Vagbhata Acharya in Ashtangahridaya is good dinacharya (daily routine). It prevents creases on skin, tiredness and arthritis. It also gives you several benefits including better relaxation, better immunity and better sleep.

Body Mousse
I wash my hands a ton on any given day without adding housecleaning to the mix. Seeing as I come into contact with so many gym members and clients everyday, I need to wash them to stay healthier.
I love a good thick lotion or body butter. I know that some people tend to think of them as heavy or oily. This is not the case with a good one like the body mousse from Candle Dippers bath and body essentials.
The particular mousse I tried is was peach melon and it’s an incredible scent for spring. I’m now wanting to stop at the produce stand and get ingredients for fruit salad. lol
I’ve already washed my hands once and my hands still feel soft. I’d had the mousse on for about 15 or 20 minutes before the first handwash happened. That’s a product with staying power and one that need’s to have a regular spot in my purse and gym bag.
