New Product!

Good day all! This past weekend, I set up a table at Miss. Charlotte's Crab cakes and sold my products. Surprisingly, the top sellers of the day were Soul Scent, a scented gel air freshener, the Subtle Shea Lotion, Misty Toes Scrub & Foot Butter and of course the Body Butter Love. Mandarin was the most popular scent request by both men & women. If you're in the area and would like to sample the products, the restaurant is located at 4192 Minnesota Ave, NE, Washington, DC.

Sales were great and I plan to return Friday & Saturday afternoons until Christmas. It was a pleasure meeting the customers and talking with them about proper skin and hair care treatments.

I recently added two new products to the line up. The first is a leave in detangling conditioner. It has a light and refreshing scent, doesn't leave any residue and works great at conditioning the hair.

The second addition is Men's scented oil. The majority of my male clientele requested scented oils in a smaller size for daily use. Size options are limited to 1/4 oz until further notice.

We will carry the following products on site:

Body Butter Love
Raw Shea Butter
Subtle Shea Lotion
Splash Body Mist
Shower Gel
Body Oil
Bath Salts
Soul Scents Gel & Reed Diffusers
African Black Soap
Sugar Scrubs

I look forward to seeing you! Have a great week!!

Spotlight: Perfection & Wedding Favors

Good morning!!!! Get your scarf and turtle neck shirts out! Fall is upon us! I hope you are all enjoying this fall like weather. This type of weather is typically accompanied with extremely dry skin. No feat! We have the solution! Subtle Shea Lotion and Body Butter Love will soothe your dry skin issues. Combine your moisturizer with our all natural fragrant body mist, SPLASH and you will smell great and feel great!

I personally suffer from dry, peeling, skin, specifically on my face. Its a horrible sight. I combat that with Perfection Facial Butter. I've created a unique combination of Shea Butter, Mowrah Butter, Mango Butter, Kpangyan Butter, Cocoa Butter, Acai Oil & CalendulaOil to create Perfection. Each butter was specifically chosen for their qualities to combat wrinkles, fine lines, and moisturizing dry skin. Perfection is not only a great facial butter for mature skin, but also for dry skin. You are guaranteed to love it as just as much!!

This week in Subtle Essence we are preparing wedding favors for Sonya and Leon Smith, who will exchange nuptials October 24, 2008. Their wedding favors of choice include Subtle Shea Lotion and Sweet Lypz. The fragrance of choice includes the infamous Honey Love, Mandarin Martini, Blissful Coconut Lime, Clean & Fresh, Juicy Apple, Eucalyptus Mint and our newest addition, Orange Cucumber. Guests are sure to enjoy the variety!

Congratulations Sonya and Leon!!

Subtle Essence Family




These are pictures of my children and I. This is my motivation behind Subtle Essence. They resisted giving up commercial products for homemade product - now they can't live with out it. When we gave up those products we also said goodbye to acne, eczema flare up, dry skin, paraben, mineral oil, and other harsh chemicals we were using on our hair skin and nails!
My Son Jonathan & I.

I use all my products - from the top of my head down to the bottom of my feet. I contribute a health head of hair to my Herbal Shampoo and Condition, clear skin to the African Black Soap and Perfection Facial butter, Bath Butter and Body Butter Love on my dry skin, Sugar Scrubs, Lip Balm, Foot Butter and MORE!






Notice any acne on this teenagers face? Maybe a few freckles, but no acne! Jonathan favorites are African Black Soap, Subtle Shea Lotion and our vegan Lip Balm.




My daughter Brelyn has a healthy head of hair. Its free from dandruff, itchy scalp and breakage. She uses our Renaissance Herbal Shampoo & Conditioner, Hair Butter on her scalp, organic hair oil and Silk Milk, all of which I created. Her glowing skin is due to African Black Soap, Body Butter Love, but she prefers Subtle Shea Lotion scented with Honey Love.





Brelyn is instrumental in the creation of Sweet Lypz. Sweet Lypz is our vegan lip balm. Her favorite is Menthol.



Until we chat again - Enjoy!
