Fall is finally here and the leaves are steadily doing just that! The trees will be bare by Thanksgiving!

We are really looking forward to seeing all our customers at the Livingston Christmas Parade and Festival downtown at City Hall on Dec. 12 from 1 pm to 9 pm.

Santa's parade will be lighted and there are drawings for prizes, too!

After much soul-searching and prayer, we have decided to discontinue going to Trade Days in Livingston for a few months. We may get back to the trade show in March or April, but in the mean time, rest assured that you can still order our quality soaps, jewelry, clothes and purses from our web stores or simply by sending us an email! We are still here for your skincare needs!

You can reach us at : contact us page. We can invoice you with paypal or you can call us with your credit card information. Or you can even send us a check. :-)

We can still do free local pickup if you’re in the Livingston/East Texas area. I'll even do a special order over the phone. Just drop us an email and we’ll work with you. We'll even wholesale our soap to interested folks!

Please bookmark all our venues above and check back with us often as we carry new items all the time! We have new soaps, purses and wallets every few weeks! Currently we have a Christmas favorite in stock: Cranberry Fig!

Blessings be upon you all!

DIY BEAUTY SECRETS

Your skin is the largest organ in your body. We take it for granted most of the time and don’t treat it right. This is never more true than in the winter time. Winter skin is dry skin, no two ways about it. Sometimes it feels like you’re wearing a hairy wool shirt! For those with rosacea, eczema Our winter habits don’t help things a bit. We crank up the heat, turn on the electric blanket, curl up in front of the fireplace with a hot cup of coffee… and wonder why our skin is
itchy and flaking! No matter where you live, dry winter skin is a concern. Outside humidity falls in the autumn and winter, and we suffer the consequences.

There are several things you can do to protect and heal your skin during the fall and winter months.

1) MOISTURIZE. Although this sounds like a no-brainer, it actually needs to be said. I forget to put on moisturizers all the time and then marvel at how dry my face is. The fine lines seem to grow every winter! One of the kindest things you can do for your skin is to use a good emollient cream or lotion. Go for the lotion if your skin is moderately dry. Pick out one for your face and one for your body. Occasionally, they will be the same lotion. For extremely itchy, flaky skin, you
may need a more concentrated cream. Slather it on day and night. Use a cream on your face, too, at night. I have often resorted to Vaseline when all else fails!

2) MINIMIZE SOAP /SHOWER TIME: Unless you are digging in the mud on a daily basis, there is no need to lather up with heavy doses of soap from head to toe. Daily showering sometimes feels like a must in the summer, but cutting back to every other day in the winter is essential for those with dry and itching skin. The commercial bar soaps and liquid soaps today are so very drying.

Only soap up where it’s really necessary: underarms, face or neck, feet, groin. Lathering up your skin every day in a hot shower is a recipe for extremely dried out skin. If possible, soak in a tub instead; it is actually more hydrating than a shower. But don’t make a luxurious bubble bath affair out of it, again keep the soap to a minimum. Another tip: switch to cooler water just before you get out of the shower to close your pores and keep the moisture in your skin! It's called
hydrotherapy and works wonders for your hair, too.

Soap of the Month:

A Christmas favorite has won the top prize this month. It is Cranberry Fig!! Like all our soaps, it contains pure, natural goodness for all skin types. Cranberry Fig is a fruity, masculine and mild scent that adds character to this soap-- it is even mild enough to wash your hair with.

You'll love it! All our soaps are SLS and SLES free!!

You'll be pleasantly surprised by the refreshing softness of your skin when you get out of the shower. No more itchy, dry "shower skin"!! Please, stop by our stores and take a look around.

We thank you for your interest in our products and hope you have continued good health and many blessings this winter. Let us know when you run low on soap and we’ll see what we can do to remedy the situation. We have plenty of great gift ideas for party favors, for Mom or Dad, birthdays, anniversaries, house warming parties, and Boss' Day!
