I probably don’t have to tell you!

I posted a few pictures on my ‘home’ blog  that I thought you might want to see – my son on his first much anticipated ski doo ride of the season on his own ski doo – and my dog – Snoop E. Dog trying to catch up, and a nice looking buck that was outside of my office window yesterday morning.

Good thing my husband came in and told me or I probably wouldn’t have even known it was there!

Here’s one that might be of interest if you like recycled, homemade Christmas ideas.

Tis the Season!

Why Natural – Do You Know?

November 29, 2009 3 comments

goal_settingI had a very illuminating conversation with a group of women a little while ago that I thought you may find interesting, especially if you are selling natural skin care products.

It was a group of home business owners and we were telling each other what we do.

3 out of 4 of them wanted to know why they would want to use natural products over ’store bought synthetics’.

There was mention that they did ‘kind of know’ that it’s probably a better choice, but really seemed to need it made clearer to them exactly why they would want to choose natural.

I have to tell you  this really knocked my socks off. I had really always had such a strong pull to natural myself that I just assumed that everybody else could see the sense in it – naturally. Mistake number one!

I know obviously that it doesn’t mean everyone uses or even supports the natural ingredients industry but I had no idea the number who needed and even wanted for their own benefit and that of their family to know why.

If you are selling natural, it’s a really good idea to have some information about it. People want to know.

If you are buying skin care products and wondering why natural, off the top of my head I say good health and clean environment.

Maybe most important – preserving the planet that sustains us for our children and all of those who will come after. That’s not a choice, it’s our duty as adults and fellow citizens in this place we all live together on and goes far beyond which is a better wrinkle cream.

I will expand on each of those on this blog, but I’d love to hear what your reasons are.

Are they the same? Are they different?

Maybe putting our heads together and having  a discussion about it may help to give a better answer the next time someone asks you – why natural?

Skin Care Routine After Exercise

after-exercise-skin-careI came across this article that I thought was really interesting.

I am not recommending the products in particular, I know nothing about them, but I think that the information in the article is great if you workout or if you sell your own products you may be able to put an all natural  ‘after exercise’ line together.

I’d like to work on this myself as I’ve been a member at Club Fit Yummy Mummy for 2 years now (we’re doing a preholiday challenge right now to be prepared for the fun over the holidays) and I love it. I find it to be quick, effective and the support there is amazing.

I usually have my shower before my workout to energize me, warm up my muscles and to open my pores. Then I have a quick shower after to rinse off all of the sweat and I have often thought how skin is in prime condition after a workout for good, natural skin care since it’s warm and the pores are clean and open (for excellent absorption of what ever we use – on the flip side – it’s also prime time for absorbing toxins into our systems through our skin through skin care that contains who know what.

So, here’s the article, I’d love to hear if you have any suggestions or if you have a skin care routine that you use after you exercise.
