Twilight Pick of the Week- Does winter have your skin singing the blues?

If winter's got your skin and hair singing the blues...I have a remedy for you- TWO WORDS- OLIVE OIL....yes, that's right...one of the worlds riches oils can be used for many things in addition to cooking! It can be used to soften and moisturize your hair, sooth dry skin and so much more!

Here is a quick and easy recipe for a deep conditioning hair soak.
Take a half cup of Olive oil and drizzle over your hair, make sure to coat the ends where it can be the driest. Cover your hair with a shower cap (so the oil does not run onto your clothes) and leave on for 20-30 minutes and then rinse with your favorite shampoo and conditioner.

For Extra dry skin, try my new Cinnamon Sugar Scrub. Infused with olive oil, jojoba oil, cinnamon, cloves, and so much more to exfoliate your dry skin and leave it super soft in the harsh winter conditions!

Check out my special introductory price of only $4 for 4 oz at www.twilightsoaps.etsy.com starting November 16th!

Twilight Pick of the Week- Winter Warm and Fuzzies!

Winter is fast approaching and why not keep warm and cozy in style. Atta Girl by Kedrin has fashionable knit hats, arm warmers, scarves and so much more to make this winter a super stylish one! Kedrin does custom items for people as well, so if you need a gift- she's your gal!

Choose from a wide variety of colors and details...you can't go wrong!

Twilight Pick of the Week

With so much going on in the world these days, it's hard to find a moment to just breath! Our days get busier with each passing moment! It is so important to take time out for yourself!

If you are up for a little bit of road trip (those of you in the Twin Cities..or father, take weekend trip:) you should visit Spa Serentiy in Baraboo, WI.
I had a massage and a facial there and it was hands down the BEST I have ever had. I was so relaxed and calm and felt so good after...I had to pass it on to you!
They also use a natural line of products to help you feel good...even though I have my own line of spa products, Eminence is a great line of organic products too.


Check out Spa Serenity at http://www.spaserenitydayspa.com/


Of course if you can't make it to Baraboo, you can always check my line of complete natural Spa Products from Sugar Scrubs to Body Oils and just about everything in between. :)

Have you heard? Ultima Bellezza is the place to go!

I was visiting Ultima Bellezza Salon in Stillwater yesterday (I have some of my jewelry and other items on sale there) and decided to try their sugaring. Now, for those of you who don't know what sugaring is, it's like waxing only less messy and slightly less painful. I highly recommend it! It makes your skin so very soft afterwords, you can't beat it! Theresa can sugar just about any part of your body, from the your eye brows to legs and she is really good at it! Its very cost effective and she will even travel with in the Metro area!

Aside from the sugaring, Ultima Bellezza also has wonderful services for your hair- cut, style, color...and they have wonderful products to chose from! The bottom line is that if you are looking for a new place to try- Ultima Bellezza is it! Mary, Theresa, and Kari will take care of you!!

My new Favorite Restaurant

So not really soap related, but definitely worth sharing with everyone...for dinner last month I went to Bibo's in Eagan, MN. It's co-owned by the owner of I Nonni and Bion Giorno.
They have a wonderful selection of wines to accompany your appetizers and dinner and all of the dishes are reasonably priced. The fried calamari was amazing! Not fishy or rubbery like a lot of places. Most entree's are around $12-15 and the portions are fairly good sized. Our group ordered a bunch of different entree's and everyone had a bite of each. I can honestly say each one was very tasty. The deserts are great too! If you are out an about and looking for a new place to try, you have to check out Bibo!

A Soothing Foat Soak you can't live without

A couple of weekends ago, I had a really long weekend to the point where I almost couldn't stand on my feet anymore because they hurt so bad. I decided to pamper my dry, sore feet in a soothing foot bath...the result was luxurious foot soak that not only took away the aches and pains, but also relieved the dry irritated skin... I had to share with the rest of you!

The Soothing Lavender Foot Soak will be available for purchase by the beginning of July for a very reasonable price!
STAY TUNED!

Twilight Soaps & Gifts goes under construction...

Twilight Soaps & Gifts will be under going a summer remodeling project from my logo (thanks to Trendesigns) to a completely revamped product line. Don’t fear fellow soap lovers, my LUSCIOUS soap recipes will not change! I will still use the same wonderful ingredients to nourish your skin.

In the process of doing this, I will be looking for specifics scents to use and I am looking for recommendations from my customers on scents I have to keep, scents I have to cut, and ones I have to try! I will be posting a list of my current scents and styles so check back to see how this will unravel.

Once I have a list, I will add it to the blog for people to vote on which ones I should use. What could make this better for you? The winning scents will get a custom gift pack of the new product line! That’s it- no catch! Submit your views with your name and contact information and you’re done!
