  • Can't Hurry Things Now

    I have been using the body butter esp on my arms; noticed their wrinkling had become really, really bad. Many years of rather poor attention to skin care have taken a toll but...slowly getting better!

  • Renew and Relax

    Yesterday was the first time I used this luxurious bath and oh my was it worth the wait. The scent is quite 'heady' and filled the bathroom and upstairs with the smell of jasmine. Perfect for relaxing into sleep! My skin felt silky soft and refreshed after drying off, not needing to use as much body oil as I typically do after a shower. Remember, self care is beautiful, so be beautiful!

  • Love It!

    I am documenting my progress with photographs which I will share after 6mos. But, so far my skin is like silk. I have very dry skin and discoloration. So far, smooth and evening out

    *Stay tuned.
