Oh Jojoba!!!

Everyone in SoCal is buzzing about how cold it is and I'm sure our East Coast friends are thinking this is nothing compared to the weather they experience lol!  But the one question I'm often asked is how to naturally care for your skin during the cold winter season.  So today I want to highlight one of my favorite spa products that is a multi-purpose treatment from head to toe! It's often referred to as the "Golden Liquid" because it's native to the deserts of the United States and Mexico.What you'll appreciate about Jojoba Oil is that it's luxurious, it penetrates quickly, and it matches our skin's natural oils making it feel soft and smooth.  Here's a few head-to-toe spa tips that everyone can enjoy (men, women, & children):



Hair: Massage two tablespoons into dry/slightly damp hair and leave-in for 10 min-1hour (depending on hair damage). Wash and condition hair as usual. Jojoba is also great for use on natural hair as well!

Face: Winter months can be harsh to the skin, so for dry skin massage a small amount of jojoba oil into facial skin for added moisture.

Skin: Pour one capful under running bath water (optional), while your skin is slightly damp lightly massage  jojoba into your body skin. *SPA BONUS-have that special someone heat the oil by rubbing hands briskly together and gently massage your skin for YOU!!!

Cuticles: Gently massage one drop of oil into each cuticle (can be done daily)

Feet: After your night time bath/shower massage your soles with jojoba oil and put on cozy socks (your feet will feel so soft and smooth by morning).

We could go on and on about ways to be pampered with jojoba, I enjoyed massaging my son with the oil when he was a newborn:)  It's such a pure spa treatment and our only ingredient in this product is...Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil!

If you need more _____, then GIVE _____!

Typically Mondays are one of my favorite days of the week but today just isn't quite starting off as I planned.  But as I mentioned in a previous post I believe that we have the power to change our thinking and how we react to situations.  So I'm sitting here thinking about what it is that I need in order to have a more positive day.  And I remember listening to Darren Hardy on one of his Success CD's saying that giving starts the receiving process.  If you need more love give love to someone else, if you need more peace give peace to someone who needs it, if you need to feel appreciated show someone that you appreciate them and so on.  You get the idea right? Take a moment today to think about what it is that you REALLY need, desire, or want and then sincerely GIVE that to someone else from your heart.  One of my favorite books is the "Go-Giver" and it mentions the law of receptivity which says "The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving".  So here I am, working on being positive today which is why I wrote this positive post, I hope it helps LOL (and I believe it will)!!!  Oh and have a Happy Thanksgiving, I'll meet you back here next week:)

3 easy ways to reduce holiday stress

YIKES, Thanksgiving is next week....already? Geesh time seems to really fly by around this time of year.  Especially if you're the one having to prepare thanksgiving dinner, decorate your home, and host lots of relatives who will be coming to visit.  Talk about stress huh? Well, no need to worry here are a few easy tips you can start today to help reduce holiday stress and from looking like this...


1. JUST BREATHE AND EXHALE!!! Grab your pen and paper or your journal and write down at least 10 things you're thankful for.  Every morning I go into my office with my rosemary mint home fragrance oil, I read an inspiring word and write down what I'm grateful for at this very moment in my life.  This will help keep things in perspective and help you focus on what's most important...giving THANKS!

2. Instead of being Superwoman/Superman and trying to tackle everything yourself, enlist the help of family, friends, or even your children!  Turn up the music, give everyone a task they can handle, and enjoy some family bonding together.  This will create memories that will last a lifetime!  Or, as our family does, we take turns hosting Thanksgiving every year and we each bring our specialty dish (easy, yummy, and certainly stress-free for everyone)!

3. This is my favorite tip, becaues whenever you're stressed out or feeling down it always helps to GIVE BACK to someone else in need.  It could be a monetary gift, but think about how much more meaningful it would be for you and your family to take action.  Maybe you can all help feed the homeless, have a canned food drive (make it a fun contest with your family), or even invite a friend whose having a tough time to enjoy holiday dinner with your family.  Not only is giving back the right thing to do but there are also numerous health benefits to the giver as well (it's certainly a win-win for everyone)!

So take a load off this year, relax, spend quality time with the ones you love, and help bring a smile to someone else this year.  Please post your stress-free holiday tips as well, I'd love to read them and from my family to yours, have the Happiest Thanksgiving EVER!!!

Got headaches?

I don't know about you but the last few days have been really busy.  And when you're on the go for several days, it's easy to neglect taking proper care of yourself.  Trust me when I say your body isn't shy about letting you know when it's time to take a spa break.  The last few days I've been combatting headaches and boy are they painfully annoying.  So tonight I looked into my bag of Sensaria goodies and I want to share 3 quick and easy tips to help aid headache relief.

You'll need a washcloth and Center Pulse Point Creme exclusive to Sensaria, it has green tea, chamomile, menthol, and peppermint oil.  Place your washcloth under warm water and find a dark quiet room to rest.  Gently massage the creme into your temples, earlobes, and dab a little under your nose.  Close your eyes, place the warm towel over your face, and take several deep breaths inhaling the aroma.  What you'll love is that the peppermint oil will begin to stimulate, your mind & body will naturally destress, and you'll appreciate the much needed relief in a matter of minutes:)

More than just a "PARTY"

I read an article on Yahoo today titled "6 Extreme Saving Tips You Can Use Now", and one of the ways is to Party at Home.  Girl's Night In have become so popular recently as opposed to a night out on the town which could get really costly in this economy.  So I started thinking about what I offer my clients, the whole reason why I became involved with Sensaria in the first place. I get to relax and party with the most fun women around (sometimes men too) and at the same time I get to contribute to our household income!



When people ask me about Sensaria the next question is usually "Oooh what's a spa party, that sounds like fun?"  Well, it's a great way to get together with friends you haven't seen in awhile, enjoy light refreshments and drinks while experiencing head to toe pampering...naturally.  But for those who have never experienced one, it's so much more than your average "party" and here's why:

1. How often do you get to spend time with your best friends and enjoy pampering spa treatments for FREE? I always laugh at a person's reaction when they hear that there's no charge for my parties! YES you get to experience body scrubs, hand massages, aromatherapy, facials, and foot soaks for free! A day at the spa would be at least $100 or so per person and this way you're in the comfort of a friends home.

2. A spa party can also be great therapy!  The first thing I tell my guests is this is a stress free zone, don't think about your spouse, kids, work, nothing but precious time for yourself!  It's a chance to get the week out of you and sometimes we even have some good ole girl talk, I've seen women empower other women  right before my eyes and it's such a beautiful thing!

3. The spa doesn't end when the party is over.  I admit I'm a spa junkie, and when I go to the spa I hate when my time is up LOL, I just want to take the masseuse home with me but I can't!  The best part of my job is helping others bring the spa home everyday with our pampering products!  Whether it's our mango body wash that turns your shower into hawaii or our anti-aging skin care that puts your best face forward, however it helps someone else relax & feel good brings a huge smile to my face everytime!

So as the article mentioned, if you're looking to save money (and earn lots of freebies too) then let's bring the spa to your home with these fun party themes http://www.bookfresh.com/profile/451170967
