Let's Talk Lavender!

Lavender is a purple flowering plant that is known to provide medicinal properties in a variety of forms. The scent of lavender can be calming and relaxing. The lavender essential oil is used as treatments. Adding lavender to topical skin creams will help soothe skin issues, heal dry skin and help with itchiness.

The Lavender Overnight Cream gives your feet intense, overnight moisture to make them feel soft and smooth. Lavender plus cocoa and Shea butters soften skin and relieve dry feet issues.

Lavender Clay Mask is a real, at home spa treatment for your feet. If your feet are in bad shape: scaly, peeling, rough or cracked, the lavender clay mask works to help severe feet issues. Apply the mask, allow it to dry, then rinse clean. The mask exfoliates with sloughing micro beads, leaving feet soft.

Lavender Softening Balm is an ultra emollient balm that smooths and moisturizes rough feet. The softening balm will massage into skin, hydrate dry rough patches, and leave feet feeling soft.

Lavender 3-in-1 Pampering Oil is an excellent oil treatment for hands and feet. This oil is great to add to a foot soak to help moisturize dry feet and relax tired foot muscles. It dilutes and disperses well in water. The oil can be used straight from the bottle as a cuticle oil for fingers and toes. Use for a foot massage to nourish skin and relax. Three uses in one: foot soak, cuticle oil, and massage oil!

DIY Spa Day

I could use a relaxing spa day EVERY day. The fact is, I can barely manage some spa treatment time for me every few months. If I'm lucky. And the planets align.

When I do have an opportunity for relaxing spa time, you bet your pretty petunias I'm going to take advantage of that! My problem is, there is no way I could afford GOING to a spa. I mean a facial alone can be well over $100. There is most definitely a way I can recreate the spa experience myself and for much less.

Be prepared to spend some time alone, bathing and pampering yourself!
