We are in the process of testing three new products:
Fresh & Free is our new, all natural deodorant and we have already received orders from our testers. We hope to have this new product available in the very near future. This product is handmade and contains 100% natural ingredients!
Denise H. tested this product and called two days later with her report ..
"Nik, I love this product. I didn't realize it would be so warm on Sunday so I wore a turtle neck. I completely forgot I had been testing your deodorant until I realized how hot I was. I was surprised to find I didn't sweat much, but more importantly there weren't any odors. You have hit the mark on this one!"
Linen Bed Spray is a new product designed with all natural essential oils, hand picked to ward off those pesky bed bugs and other insects. Spray it on your luggage or bedsheets at home or even while on the road.
Last but certainly not least - Lick Me Love. This will become a part of my "Touch Me After Five" product line. We were delayed in testing this product due to delays in shipment of the container. Lick Me Love testing will begin with exploding flavors such as:
- Come to me Carmel
- Bite Me Berry
- Suc-U-lent Strawberry
- Orgasmic Orange
Once we've received our shipment, testers will be needed!

Supplements for Acne, Diabetes & General Health
I was doing some research on Acne - AGAIN - and found a few supplements that I though might of some interest to those suffering from outbreaks as well as general health.
Subtle Essence offers Acne Reducer, which contains all natural oils derived from plants, fruits and nuts to shrink pimples. We use Seabuckthorn Oil, Tea Tree, & Jojoba Oil, among a few others the naturally shrink pimples. Adjusting your diet may also yield positive results for breakouts. Daily cleansing, toning and a light moisturizer can also reduce breakouts.
When this isn't enough, try supplements such as:
Burdock Root - do not use this type of supplement if you're anemic taking iron supplements. Supports body systems by eliminating toxins and excess fluid, relieving menopause symptoms, great for acne and other skin disorder, useful for healthy gallbladder, liver and digestive functions, used in fighting weight loss, reduces cravings and hunger, and most importantly support healthy scalp condition and by prevent hair loss.

Borage Seed Oil great for hair, skin and cardiovascular health - http://hcbl.com/Products/99/Borage-Oil/Details.html?CUSTID=9iqsl0edfiuget6v8i4t78jak0
Evening Primrose Oil - Supports the cardiovascular system, helpful for weight loss, supports estrogen production, and great for treating various skin problems. http://hcbl.com/Products/92/Evening-Primrose-Oil/Details.html?CUSTID=3e1hal1u7r8g7jg7tgssfo6c43
I typically purchase all my vitamin supplements from Healthy Center for Better Living. My dad turned me on to this company several years ago when he purchase Stable Sugar to help treat my diabetes, Milk Thistle to help support my liver and kidneys, Acidophilus to help support the intestinal tract and helps to maintain a healthy colon and Bilberry for my eyes.
My dad has kept me healthy through his own personal research on Herbalist approaches to good health. His community loves him as much as I do for the wealth of information he shares with all who asks. Aside from the herbs and vitamins he also bakes the best health cookie - those who have had it know how delicious they are, and my favorite mac & cheese!! (smile)
Thank You Daddy!! I love You!
Stay tuned for more information on the Acai Berry & Pomegranate!

New Year, New Products
This has been the busiest year for me ever!! I'm preparing for multiple vendor opportunities, working a full time job, balancing family and personal time and trying to stay healthy all at the same time. I've had some setbacks this year, but I'm getting my stride back. And when that happens - world beware!!
Based on customer feedback, I've made a few changes - for the better of course.
The Sugar Scrub has been improved. Not that there was anything wrong with it in the beginning, but I had challenges with it leaking out of the containers. I solved that problem by adding Sweet Almond Butter. Its not the ideal solution for those with nut allergies, but it can be modified for such. Adding the butter gave the scrub a thicker consistency, creamy texture, and more moisture then ever, but most importantly - it doesn't leak. Customers who have tried it love it and I'm sure you will too!
In January 2010 the Herbal Cuticle Treatment was borne out of need. I sanitize all my containers prior to use and am frequently submerging my hands in bleach, detergents & alcohol. As a result my cuticles have become dry, hard, cracked & peeling to the point of pain. Upon creating a cuticle treatment, I thought about what I was trying to achieve. I wanted to soothe my cuticles, promote healing and soften the cuticles. I combined calendula oil & tea tree oil for the soothing and healing, then the Illipe Butter for softening. Then topped it off with a few herbs. I applied it twice in a day and noticed healing by the next morning. Needless to say it was added to the line up the following day.
Next, we've added a Clarifying Vinegar & Herb Rinse. This new rinse will help remove excess build up from the hair that typical shampoos leave behind. It also brightens the color of your hair, especially if you have a permanent color. Its great for all hair types, chemically treated hair and virgin hair. Don't let the strong scent of vinegar discourage you. The scent will dissipate once the hair begins to dry.
Lastly, there's the new Silky Hair Butter for Dry Hair. The current Silky Hair Butter absorbs into the hair and scalp rather quickly and doesn't improve dry hair as much as I'd like to see. With that said, I decided to create new butter with Macadamia Nut Butter and a few other moisturizing butters. The end result, more moisturizing with a butter that still won't weigh the hair down.
Well, as you can see I've been quite busy on business home front, but busy creating wonderful products you can enjoy.
