A Most Refreshing Beverage
Heat and humidity are just a part of New Jersey summers. Now, mostly, I'm a soda girl. I've always got some fizzy sweetness close at hand, But on those wretched hot days of summer, I do enjoy some amazingly refreshing cucumber lemon spa water.
It's so easy to make, and truly a refreshing treat when you come in from the yard. Just thinly slice one cucumber and one lemon. I like to add some chopped ginger and maybe a dash of mint. Or maybe some cut up strawberries now that they're in season. Cover with water and refrigerate. Trust me, this will bring some sparkle back to your sweaty brow.

Summer is time to
Revive & Refresh!
Our new light, aloe based moisturizer
It's important to moisturizer you skin, especially in the summer as you go out in the sun and soak up those lovely shiny rays. For me, it's always been hard in the summer because I hate putting any kind of cream that sits on my sweaty face. It's taken a while, but we've finally concocted a wonderfully moisturizing and soothing gel that's perfect for summer... or any time!
We've developed 3 versions, all starting with a wonderful, natural, soothing and healing aloe vera gel base.  Aibí (Mature) includes carrot seed, marula, wheat germ oil and rose geranium essential oil (among others) which helps improve elasticity in your skin.
Tirim (Dry) includes emollient avocado oil, vitamin rich tomatoe seed oil, Davana and geranium essential oils plus others which provide softening, soothing and moisturizing.
Olúil (Oil) has Hazelnut, seabuckthorn berry oils with chamomile, Ylang Ylang and other essential oils for reducing excess sebum while still softening and moisturizing.

Vivacious Vinegar
Vinegar is a staple in almost every home. But it's so much more than just an ingredient in salad dressing. 1. Vinegar makes a wonderful hair rinse. It balances the scalps pH and it helps the hair cuticle lay flat. I like to use vinegar infused with  roses or chamomile. Add about 2 ounces to 2 cups of water. Pour through your hair after shampooing. Let it sit for about 5 minutes then rinse. 2. Enjoy the sun a little too much? Our Do Greine Spray Sunburn Spray has a vinegar base and is infused with herbs to really help ease the ouch. If you don't have any Do Greine Spray, you can put some vinegar on a wash cloth and place over the burned area. 3. Spritz white vinegar around base boards or door jams to deter the inevitable summer any invasion. 4. If you want to bring summer inside with some fresh cut flowers, keep them fresh with vinegar. Mix 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar and 2 tablespoons sugar with water, then add the flowers. |
