The Saga continues of Dry Winter Skin...

Did you know that Aloe Vera Gel is not just for sun burns? It's not widely advertised as such, but it can be used a great remedy for DRY WINTER SKIN and has many other medicinal purposes.

It works great for burns and scrapes, Sun burns and more...why not to sooth dry, irritated skin.

I recommend a natural gel base with not a lot extra ingredients- you can get it online or even in the local drug store. The less chemicals used, the more your skin will thank you.

Try some of these sites:

Happy 2010

Wow, I can hardly believe its 2010 already. I haven't had much to report on the last few weeks with the holiday's and everything, so here goes.

One of the boutiques that was carrying my line has closed due to the economy- Bare Boutique in Burnsville. It's so sad to see so many wonderful small businesses closing because of lack of support/business. I really want to help make a change, especially for Women. In the next month or two Twilight Soaps will be embarking on a series of networking meetings for women to have a place to gather and get ideas from other like minded women. Lets face it, we all (Small business owners) have to stick together, now more then ever! Stay tuned for more information!

Twilight Soaps & Gifts will also be participating in Minnesota's Winter Carnival Fashion show as a vendor and I am super excited. I participated last year and had a great time! There were a lot of great people to meet and good food and fashions to be had! I am planning to bring some of my new products including the sugar scrub and hopefully a digital display!

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

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.

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. :)
