Then I stitched it on and stitched the sachet together, leaving a small opening for the brown rice I'd scented earlier with the spray and let dry overnight.
It smells lovely and it was so simple! I used Staz-On Ink and set it with the iron, stitched it together and voila!
Is your skin tired after a long, hot summer?True natural body care extends beyond basic health and aesthetic concerns to include fun, frolic, physical and tactile pleasures, warm and tender sharing, and a celebration of life. So while this formula does wonders for moisturizing your skin, it can also arouse your senses with yummy tastes and soothing texture.
Here's a recipe for a yummy Honey and Coconut Oil body wrap!
2 tablespoons coconut oil (extra-virgin, unrefined)
1 tablespoon of your favorite raw honey
2 drops vanilla, peppermint, or sweet orange essential oil (optional)
In a small bowl, whip together all ingredients. This sweet treat is now ready to use.
If the temperature in your kitchen is above 76F, the body honey will maintain a liquid consistency; if the temperature is below 76F, it will be a medium soft solid (because of the melting point of the coconut oil).
Take several bath towels (enough to cover your body) and dampen them with hot water (as hot is comfortable for you to touch) in an empty bathtub. Get in the tub and rub the honey mixture over your body, recline and cover yourself with the hot towels. Sit, relax, and enjoy until the towels are cool and you are ready to rinse. Rinse, pat yourself dry, and follow up with some plain coconut oil or your favorite all-natural lotion.
Product review written by a loved Good Fortune Customer: Raena, Tampa, FloridaI first discovered Good Fortune Soaps when looking for a Mother's Day present for my boyfriend's mom. I regularly read Southern Living Magazine and when an article recommending Good Fortune was featured, I trusted that I would be nothing less than thrilled with the products I would order. I often purchase home-made soaps from a small shop in Tarpon Springs that makes goat milk soaps because they seem to last much longer and treat my skin much better. Occasionally I'll pick up a brand-name from the store, but there's always something missing - not so with Jennifer's soaps from Good Fortune.
First, the value of her soaps is truly amazing. You think to yourself "wow, I'm paying $4, $5, or even $6 for soap," but when you receive the products and see how long they last, and most importantly how refreshed you feel after using them, you realize it is MORE than worth it! Your skin feels smooth and soft without over drying. When used for shaving, I find I have no irritation and no itchy feeling when I'm finished. There's also no oily residue left on your skin - there's a clean finish and a pleasant uplifting scent.
And that's another important reason I love Good Fortune Soaps - although all of the scents are amazing, they're not overpowering by any means. I don't find myself coughing or sneezing after taking a whiff of the soaps and my boyfriend doesn't back away because it's too strong. He made the comment that when I use [Good Fortune Soaps] soap, I smell like me and not an overpowering perfume. My favorite scents would have to be the sweet island coconut and pink grapefruit. I'm looking forward to trying some of her products with the peppermint, vanilla, and orange notes.
Good Fortune does an excellent job with packaging and shipping. They don't send you a huge box with lots of packaging; they attempt to reduce packaging (and environmental impact) as much as possible. This is also true for the soap wrappers. The wax papers come with quotes that make you think and make you smile. The outside of my soap read: "The funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it." -Somerset Maugham. Such a true thought and very much along the lines of her theme: Fortune favours the bold.
Overall, I think Good Fortune Soaps are a great value and a great product! I only wish more stores in my area sold the products so I wouldn't always have to watch my mailbox for my next goodies.
Good Fortune Soap: Good value, great product, and a wonderful passion for soap!
About Good Fortune Clay Shaving Soap:
1.What makes this “shaving” soap? We add bentonite clay and castor oil to our shave soaps to smooth and moisturize the skin. Bentonite clay absorbs oil and provides a thick, creamy, smooth feeling. Castor oil softens skin and attracts moisture to the skin, then holds it in (it also gives it the big fluffy bubbles). All together, our ingredients give you a close shave that is perfect for sensitive skin!
2.What are the properties of essential oils and ingredients?
• Peppermint restores and energizes the senses.
• Tea tree oil is a powerful antiseptic and has anti-fungal properties, it's also anti-viral and naturally antibiotic.
• Menthol crystals give your skin a fresh, cool, and tingling sensation.
Our Sweet Island Coconut soap is a favorite because it is sweet, cheery, and fresh. We use natural coconut fragrance as well as lemon and lime essential oils. Lemon essential oils bring fresh energy and are considered an effective astringent. Lime essential oil is also said to have astringent and antiseptic qualities.
3. How long will my soap last? Depends on how often you shower! We are nice and share our soap, and it lasts our family at least a month of shaving and showering. The trick is to keep your soap dry between uses. Check out our suction cup soap savers if you want to increase the life of your soap.
4. Is it for men and women? Absolutely! Men can use the Coconut soap to shave their faces and women use it pretty much anywhere.
5. Can I use it all over? Yes, have fun, but remember those menthol crystals can be tingly, so use caution around the eyes and in other sensitive areas.
