That’s the Beauty of it!

The Tale of Benjamin Bunny was one of my favorite stories when I was a kid. Actually all the books by Beatrix Potter were my favorites.  My parents bought me books all the time or brought me to the local library so I could fill my head with imagination. I still love to read today, I dont always get enough time but, when I pick up a book I litterally can not put it down until I finish it.  Which makes for some late nights but, to me it is always worth the time I am able to escape into another world and feel like I am there watching the characters lives unfold.

They are finally done!  I have been working forever on labels for the skincare line.  I go to bed seeing labels and wake up with them in my head.  We are loading them on the site as well as some of the newest additions to the BALANCE Skincare line. 

I have tried to make a product available for every skin type and will continue to update items when necessary! 

Enjoy!

Ok as it is, I have no “extra” time!  But, when this idea was passed on to me from my friend Jenn at Klean I new I had to make time!  I have only done this for two days and it has already been a stress reliever.  I find myself going to bed at night thinking of things I can do or give anonomously as it makes me feel so much better.

 
I think by the end of this whole 29 day ordeal I am going to sign up again! Or maybe I wont have to sign up, maybe by then I will just give freely and daily without even having to think about it…….

That Sunny Glow
Say goodbye to dry, dull winter skin. Literally!

The tools:
- baby oil
- bar of Ivory soap
- loofah mitt

I got this tip from Lola Red about shedding drab skin and revealing your inner glow. Hollywood starlets have been doing it for years, and here I am to share the secret. (DISCLAIMER: This may be a cheap trick, but it can be incredibly messy!)

I have never done this but, when my kids and husband are out of the house for awhile I will break out the Loofah and maybe go for the shower instead of the tub.  I dont want to have to scrub the tub for hours afterwards as it brings back to many memories of taking a bath after my mom soaked in Baby Oil.  I was 12 at the time and jumped in the tub when she was finished to wash my hair, unfortunately when I went to dry it,  all of the left over baby oil was stuck to my hair.  I had to hurry as we were going to a wedding and didn’t have time to rewash it, my mom said it looked fined.  But, when I looked in the bathroom mirror at the reception it looked like I had not washed my hair for weeks. It was devastating and I refused to take baths for 3 years after that.  I stuck to showers and rinsed multiply times!  Today, I just stay away from oil period in any form in my tub!  Not just because of the hair thing but I now fear slipping and killing my self in the tub!

The trick:
1. Fill your bathtub with hot water.
2. Place a towel on the floor next to the tub.
3. Strip down and load your body with baby oil.
4. Dip the Ivory soap and loofah into the water, then rub together to coat the loofah with the soap.
5. Standing or sitting on the towel, start at your feet and scrub every inch of your hot bod until your skin is pink. (You will obviously want to load up the loofah with Ivory numerous times during the process.)
6. Once you have scrubbed to the max, slide into the warm tub and watch the dull, drab skin slip off! (Note: The bath water will be disgusting. You, on the other hand, will be a stunner!)
7. Slather yourself with fab self-tanner for some faux glow!

Well we have decided, with your input of course, that our new line of skincare will be called… ”Balance” Skincare by Mineral Silk Inc.

Which makes sense, since it is the one thing that everyone strives for in life? 

Balance!

It doesn’t matter if you are trying to balance your skins PH or your Checkbook.  Everyone could use some balance in their life, I know I could!

Here are some other things you can strive to Balance - Feel Free to add some of your own!

Your Skin
Your Life
Your Cholesterol
Your Diet
Your Heart Rate
A bone on your dogs nose
A teeter totter
Your Checkbook
A Unicycle
A Pogo Stick
On Stilts

And while your trying to balance some of them, check in your  recent Mineral Silk order, as you may have been one of  the few lucky customers that received a sample of our Balance Facial Spritz to test. Let us know what you think!

Just remember C.A.K.E!  No, not the 3 layer Butter Cream Icing topped variety, but the Vitamin kind. Ok, I really have you confused don’t I.

C.A.K.E stands for the vitamins that are great for your skin, so start looking for products that contain these vitamins to help out your hungry skin.  Then when someone asks you how you keep your skin looking so gorgeous, just tell them its all in the Cake! Continue reading »
