A simple substitute for a peppermint cream is to use add a few drops of peppermint essential oil to a carrier oil. Jojoba oil, almond oil or other handy oil (even olive oil) make great carrier oils. Rub this onto your skin and you will feel instantly cooler. If peppermint creams help to relieve your pain, the oil should give you similar results. You can also add eucalyptus and rosemary essential oils for a more rounded blend.
Note: Never use straight essential oils, they need to be diluted in a carrier oil such as jojoba or almond oil. Some people can be sensitive to peppermint oil so do a patch test. Peppermint oils should be avoided if you are pregnant.

All Lavender Grapefruit products are on sale in January 2011
Lavender and Grapefruit essential oils are the perfect pair for the January blues. Lavender is relaxing and calming while grapefruit is uplifting and happy. Best of all they combine to form a wonderful fragrance. I love it so much, I have added this fragrance blend to just about everything I sell. You can find it in my Lotion Bar, Dead Sea Bath Salts and Salt Glow. Order by the end of January to take advantage of these great prices.
This is a great moisturizing soap, but it won’t be returning next year. The peppermint scent is a hearty blend of peppermint, rosemary and tea tree essential oils. Cocoa Butter helps to make this a great bar. I have a few left, but they won’t last long at 1/2 price.
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. ~Melody Beattie
Combine an exfoliating sugar scrub tart with butters and oils for a more natural way to heal your dry, cracked hands. Follow the instructions that come with this kit and your hands will look and feel like silk. The first step is to replace that anti-bacterial soap with a more moisturizing, natural soap. At least once a day after washing (I like to do this at night before bed), break off a little of the sugar scrub tart and massage onto your hands and rinse off when ready. The last step is to rub the lotion bar made with beeswax, cocoa butter, macadamia nut oil and black currant oil on your hands to seal in that moisture. The intense moisturizing of the scrub and the lotion bar will give your skin the chance it needs to heal the dry chapped areas and even the cracks caused by harsh weather or work conditions. Moisturize with the lotion bar as needed throughout the day to keep your hands in tip top shape.
Silky Hands Gift Sets come in Lemon Almond, Almond, Amaretto Coffee or Hazelnut Coffee.
Each gift set includes a Handcrafted Soap, a box of 2 sugar scrub tarts, a 0.6 oz Intense Moisture Lotion Bar, a Hardwood soap dish (made in Vermont), a nail brush and instructions.
