I have been lax in updating the blog haven't I? Well, I must say that even though I technically sell skin care ... I don't! I have found that my new business with Private Quarters has far surpassed my expectations and it has been keeping me VERY busy! Anyway, I thought I would revive the blog with some new content and asked some of my Sensaria Sisters to write a review of their favorite Sensaria

One thing I noticed when I first opened up a Beauty Society catalog was the overwhelming selection of skin care products! I thought Sensaria had a lot of repair products but Beauty Society blew them out of the water. So, if you were like me and had no idea what to use and what order to use them in then hopefully this will help you out. The great thing is that you can create your own personal

The Sea Silk Mask was one of my favorites from Sensaria and it will be sad when I use the last of it. Beauty Society doesn't really have a great replacement for this product so I am so happy to have another option with L'Bri! Kelly was kind enough to write up a review of the two products and she was also a Sensaria Representative so she is very familiar with both products! Sensaria Sea Silk

I have had many requests for people to buy my Citrus Cleaner and I am not parting with any of them! I have used it in my laundry, general cleaning, stain removal, outdoor furniture cleaning and more. A past Sensaria Rep has joined a new company and one of the items they offer is a very good replacement for Sensaria's Citrus Cleaner. I am happy to say that I will be trying this product once my

I don't think I ever got around to explaining why I picked Beauty Society out of everything I tried did I? Well, honestly it was the most impressive to me in how my skin felt after using it the first time. It was that same feeling I got when I first tried Sensaria 7 years ago at my friend's spa party. It was nice to have that feeling of soft, smooth skin that just glowed! Also, when I started

Last Friday I grabbed two of my friends and headed to the mall. First we started with a cocktail, appetizers and dinner so we could catch up with each other and visit. It was a night out that we all needed so I am happy we were able to make it happen. I was also excited that they were interested in trying out two department store lines that were recommended to me. I was an Origins user before I

I swear this list never seems to end! I was barely through my second week of trying new product lines. It was so crazy that it is no wonder my head was starting to spin! Here goes the final four lines... First up was Noevir which to be fair I only tested one product because I had picked up a free sample at one of the many events I did last year. The sample was the Quick Recovery Mask which I

As I mentioned before, I tried a LOT of different skin care lines after I got home from Sweden. The previous blog post was about my first week back and now I will now tell you about my second week. Also, if I can squeeze it in I will include a little excursion my girlfriends and I took to the mall to check out a few department store brands too. Although, I have a feeling I will need to make a

I got home from our trip from Sweden on Saturday 7/30 and Monday Aug 1st I tuned into as many conference calls as I could. I think there were three that day ... Beauty Society, Chartreuse and Joan's call. Joan is one of Sensaria's top leaders and she had a call to announce who she tried and who she went with. It was a popular call and very informative. All these calls were wonderfully informative

It is hard to talk about Sensaria in the past tense but that is the reality. They are gone and I am sad I lost a lot of my favorite products. At least I stocked up on the ones I really can't go without! They closed their business while I was on vacation in Sweden but now that I am home and recovered from my jet lag, I have been researching other skin care companies like crazy! I have been reading

I just wanted to send out a personal note to everyone that on July 18th, 2011 Sensaria decided to shut down and go out of business. The reasons they gave us were lack of sales, mounting debts and lack of funding. The representatives got very little notice and many of us are shocked and disappointed. Not only are we out of a job but we lost our income and all the products we loved so much too.

Well, did you know that July marks the end of our selling season? That means that exciting and new products will be available for sale in August! There are a limited amount of products that will fit in our catalog so some need to be retired to make way for the new ones. I am pretty happy about this year's decisions BUT there is always one product that I will certainly miss. One of my favorite

This is an exciting month for me! July marks my 4th anniversary with the company and it is also one of the best events in the company ... our National Convention! I really can't believe it is just days away! I love that it will be held in Bellevue this year so that means it is just a short drive away. Even though I live close by, I still stay at the hotel because that is where ALL the fun happens

The theme this month is "Made in the USA" and I am really proud to have a product that can boost this feature. Did you know that all of Sensaria's products are made in a small town in Washington state called Shelton? I also have the added bonus of saying that Sensaria's products are a local product which is very appealing to my buyers. People love supporting local companies! However, even if you

Did you know that Sensaria's products are all made here in the USA? Ok. All except one (Moisturizing Lip Treatment) which is made by our friendly neighbors ... in Canada! I am also very proud to say that our products are made here locally and it is even more rewarding to say it is made in the same state I live in!

Every month all the Sensaria representatives get a wonderful full color, glossy brochure in the mail with our commission check and it is called the "Sensation". It is filled with loads of good information, recognition and product tips. In this month's issue, there is a great little article from our Product Development & Educational Manager about the three newest products we released in May. I

You know moving sucks. I knew that. Really I did! I just forgot after living in our house for almost 8 years. I don't know if you missed my blog posts this month but the reason why they have been so sparse lately is because we just sold our house in May and it has been a crazy busy time getting things taken care of and moving forward on a new house that is being built for us. In the meantime, I

The theme this month is "Summer ... Soak It In" and we have got some great products for you to enjoy and have fun in the sun with. Summer is a great time to host a spa party as the nice weather and long daylight hours mean foot soaks on your patio or deck. You can even pick a fun theme this month too like "sip and soak" or "fancy flipflops". Get as creative as you like!If you host a spa party or

May is an exciting time with Sensaria. The theme this month is "Tender Ties" which celebrates life's special bonds. Why not pamper your mom or sister or best friend with a gift from Sensaria? Plus we are also releasing three new products so it is a PERFECT time to host a spa party and try them out. Also, on May 3rd, it is Sensaria's 9th anniversary in direct sales!

Do you have a problem with breakouts after waxing or plucking out those pesky hairs? Well, one way to help control that breakout is by using Sensaria's Blemish Control right after the waxing or plucking. The active ingredients will kill any bacteria that may be brewing in those angry follicles. Then follow it up with our White Tea Calming Serum which will eliminate the irritation, stinging and

I got this tip from my good friends who work together and they both gave me this tip so I am not sure who came up with it first. Anyway, they told me that they like to use their moisturizer to the very end before they order more but sometimes they don't plan their re-order so well so they end up running out before a new one comes. Being the resourceful gals that they are, they told me that in

You might recall that I talked about "Jojoba Oil's Many Uses" a few years ago. I recently re-read that article and updated it with a few more uses and facts about jojoba oil. It really is amazing stuff! I kind of forgot what an amazing oil (or actually wax) it is so I am glad I reminded myself about it. I even came across this nice YouTube video from an experienced clinical aesthetician that I

I recently subscribed to a newsletter from a web site called Zen Habits and thought this article was worth sharing. I have done some of these items in the past but it is a good reminder to keep on doing them. Plus, there are a bunch of ideas I would have never considered before too.

Sensaria shared some great tips lately and it is in keeping with our "Go Green, Go Natural" month. I can't believe it is almost the end of the month already! Where did all the time go? I want to thank all my new customers and regular customers! I met so many great people and I always love talking to my regulars too. You guys are the best! Anyway, on to the two tips from Sensaria: Keep It Clean &

Last week I talked about Green Tea and how it is a powerful antioxidant which makes it a wonderful ingredient in our products. Well, I came across an article which stated that by having green tea as an ingredient in sunscreen, it can actually enhance the protection! I looked at Sensaria's Daily Sun Protection SPF 28 and it has green tea listed as one of the ingredients! It is that time of year

Every month Sensaria is picking a theme and focusing their specials and marketing efforts around this theme. The month of March's theme is "Go Green, Go Natural" which fits in with our company philosophy so perfectly. Not only is Green Tea a featured scent this month for our Spa Party hosts but it is an amazing antioxidant as well! Here are a few more tips for you:The Natural Wonder Of JojobaOf

The only thing I worry about when we announce new products is which ones might go away. So far, I haven't heard anything and I am super excited to try these new products that were just announced this weekend. They will be available for ordering on May 1, 2010 and you can contact me for more information. I might get them before they are released to the public. ;) * Equilibria Aromatherapy Spray

It's the end of the month already! Boy, February sure goes by fast doesn't it? Hopefully, you got last month's amazing skin care specials but fear not if you didn't. March also has some great specials to offer so keep on reading for the whole scoop. How would you like to invite a few friends over to your house and have a relaxing and fun SPA PARTY?

I was talking to a customer of mine the other day about our special this month which is a FREE Microdermabrasion Creme with any 4-step skin care system (aka "Build Your Own" system). It is a great deal since you are already saving up to $22 on the skin care system but then you get a $28 product for FREE as well. Wow!Anyway, my customer was leery of trying the Microdermabrasion Creme because she

I was looking around online today because I am tired of just plain old water right now. I am getting over a cold so my main form of beverage is a hot cup of water with some freshly squeezed lemon and honey. Yum! So good for a sore throat. Anyway, I need to drink more water and stay hydrated and taking my water bottle with plain old water just wasn't cutting it for me today. So, I went online and

Well, okay maybe not a cure but I have gotten reports from another rep (hi Brenda!) whose customer is selling the Center Pulse Point Cream for her. Hmmm, she sounds like a great opportunity to become a rep herself maybe? ;) I think it is awesome and am glad to hear of a new use for this amazing product! It actually makes a lot of sense as I have used it on sore muscles and also on my wrist when I

I originally was going to hold this drawing on Facebook but then I just learned about their new rules about how all sorts of contests/drawings/giveaways are now flat out prohibited. Bah humbug. It's too bad too because it was a fun way to get more fans on my Facebook Page but now I am going to have to figure out another way to do that. So, while it is not required to become a fan of my page, it

Can you believe spring is almost here? Well, it might still be winter but that just means that spring is just right around the corner! Sensaria has just announced their new spring product line and I am really excited about them! I believe they officially go on sale in February but you can host a party in January and get a sneak preview! I really want to get my January booked up solid so contact

Yes, it is a new product and concept this holiday season! In case you missed it, we now are offering Bath Teas in our fabulous Mirabelle Plum Spice scent. Well, a lot of people have a puzzled look when I tell them about it so let me try to explain it. Our bath tea contains sea salt and fragrance plus some floral bits and bobs too. Instead of scooping it out of a jar, we offer it in a convenient

I truly believe that exfoliating your skin once or twice a week is essential for good skin care. I know that my skin seems to need it in order to keep breakouts away and plus, it just plain makes my skin so soft and smooth. I just feel that my skin builds up dirt and dead skin cells quicker than some so I tend to exfoliate every other day. Another benefit of regular exfoliation is that it allows

I ask this question at almost every spa party because I think toners have gotten a bad rap over the years and also people don't really know what they are for. It's really easy actually once you know. Our toners are meant to be misted onto your face after cleansing and before moisturizing. You can use a cotton ball and swipe it over your face but personally I feel it is a waste of a cotton ball.

This tip came from another rep who was at a team meeting a few months ago. It just stuck in my head and I thought it was time to share! If I got the story wrong then please correct me! I recall that she was walking past someone's office when she saw a bottle of Sensaria's Freshening Mist sitting in her window. She knocked on the door and asked her about it and why it was in her office instead of

So, now that I had a whole post about parabens you can make your own decision about whether or not to use them. I would understand if you still want to avoid them even after they are probably not harmful. There are a bunch of Sensaria products that are paraben-free so here they are:* Aroma-sensory Bath Salts (both scents)* Aroma-sensory Oil (both scents)* Balancing Cleanser* Blemish Control* Body

This topic comes up every now and then but especially during my busy season right now. I had someone at a spa party ask about it and I really hope I answered the question for her. It was hard because I had not been asked about parabens in a long time so it took me off guard. Also, the topic came up on a message board and it got me thinking about it again. I looked up all my research and

As usual we have some really amazing specials this month. This is the gift giving season and we have packaged some great products together and at a discount!

Ok, this is a good one! I can't believe the feedback I have been hearing about our new cellulite products but it's stuff I got to believe!

Ok, a lot has happened since I updated last. I will start out with our new holiday line that came out this month. It is a wonderful smelling product line called Mirabelle Plum Spice. It is a warm, slightly floral and fruity scent that people just can't get enough of! I highly recommend trying some at your next Spa Party or asking your rep to whip it out the next time you see her. Here goes...

Holy smokes Batman! Did you all think I fell off the face of the earth? Well maybe! I just got super busy with life after our National Convention. My son started a new school in July and we had some major behavior problems with him so I just turned my focus onto helping him. He was asked not to come back to the school in September so I had to find a new one for him again. It was a lot of research

Wow! I just got home from our National Convention this weekend which was a blast as usual. It was an informative, inspirational, energizing, motivating, heartwarming, compassionate, giving and compelling weekend. I don't know if I have enough words to describe it all! Of course, one of the most exciting things they reveal at Convention is our new product line for Fall 2009! As sad as I am to see

In this week's rep newletter our Product Development and Education Manager was asked to pick her 3 favorite products. Well, she couldn't narrow it down to three so she listed her top 6!

I didn't feel like sharing the tip from our weekly newsletter this week because it talked about two products that I don't use very much. I feel like it's not fair to post about products I can't full heartedly recommend. I mean, I know they are good but since I don't use them on a regular basis ... it's hard to be sincere about it you know? So, instead I will continue to share my list of favorite

In today's rep newsletter, the tip for this week was about how we can sell the June specials. Not much of a tip to share with you!

I did however get a really nice email from a fellow rep (hi Brenda!) who loves my blog and had a tip about a product I have failed to mention so far. It was surprising to me since it is one of my favorite products but I tend to forget to talk about it sometimes. Anyway, this

Well, today our rep newsletter came out but there was no tip!! Gah, what I am to do? Hmm .... come up with my own tip I suppose! I got on a teleclass this morning and it was nice because it only lasted 15 minutes and some of our top leaders in the company shared their best tips for the summer.

It has really helped keep me on track and moving my business forward.So, anyway ... this week's tip is for your hair since it might be getting damaged by the sun or chlorine if you are out in a pool or water park.

So, in this week's rep newsletter ... there are 4 products on the chopping block. These products will be discontinued and no longer available for sale as of AUGUST 1st, 2009!

It is not too late to have your own spa party and earn these great items! When it is nice out, then we can do the party outside on your deck or backyard. I can even put together a catalog party for you too if we

I just got around to reading the monthly newsletter from Sensaria that comes with my commission check. It is really nice that they spend so much time keeping us updated and sharing stories about other reps or the history of the company. It was great fun reading our 8th Anniversary edition this month. There were lots of tidbits about the company, our founder and other reps who joined at the very

I got my weekly newsletter from Sensaria today and they are including a product tip in each issue. I like it because not only do I get to learn something new but in today's case, it reminds me about something I already knew. Reading our rep newsletter inspires me to blog about the tips I read in there so I am going to try to update my blog once a week. It does get hard with all that I have going

I have mentioned briefly about using our foot mask Sole Survivor as another product to use in the Nourishing Foot Treatment tip. Little did I know that just a few months after posting that tip that the Foot Mask would become one of my best sellers! I was really skeptical when it first came out because come on ... who needs a FOOT MASK? However, after going to a team meeting where everyone was

Well, maybe you didn't know that Sensaria even carried a Men's Skin Care line? Well, we do! I have blogged about the products before on their great use for acne prone skin. I used it when I was pregnant and broke out like crazy! The Tea Tree Oil and soothing desert plant extracts really helped a lot. However, I just read in our weekly newsletter from the home office about this new use for our

I recently did a bunch of events this month and came across some very helpful and nice Sensaria customers and reps. They gave me some great tips that I am going to pass along to you. I haven't had a chance to try them all so your feedback is most appreciated! A Sensaria fan came up to me a few weekends ago to tell me how much they loved their favorite product! She had a tip for me that I had not

So this tip came from a gal that I do some business with and am anxious to try it out. She used our Mango Shampoo which is now a discontinued item. However, we think that any shampoo that is designed for oily hair would work. I want to try a few different Sensaria products like one of our Body Washes. They aren't really for oily skin but it might work since they are gentle yet deep cleansing. I

I was browsing around the other day and bumped into a few Sensaria product reviews. It was nice to read other people's opinions about the products I love and these ones seemed sincere. I just thought it would be fun to collect all the good reviews here and share them with you. Maybe you know a good product review site that I can submit a sample for or maybe just let me know if you find any more

It's the middle of winter and dry skin seems to be a problem everywhere! For my friends who already have dry skin ... it's a constant battle to stay soft and hydrated. Even I am feeling dry and itchy most days. Today it is raining and I am actually glad since the air has been so dry lately. It was nice to enjoy the sunshine here in Seattle and we had a good week of nice weather. However, my skin

Sensaria has a wonderful product called Skin Perfecting Serum but I have never really appreciated it until now. It really works for a lot of my customers and there are loads of people who are big fans of it. Me? Not so much. I suppose it has to do with the fact that my skin is oily and it really feels strange to me to put something on my skin that feels ... oily. That isn't the best description

I got this tip from a fellow rep Amanda who if I recall correctly heard directly from Sensaria's head of Product Development. In case you didn't know as well but Sensaria's Vitamin C Rejuvenating Treatment is made without water because when it mixes with water (and oxygen), it activates and loses it's potency. Make sure to check the color of your product because if it is yellow or orange in color

I love Sensaria's Freshening Mist for many, many reasons but the one reason that some people might not be aware of is that I like using it for treating diaper rashes! Now, it doesn't really work on those nasty ones that my son used to get when he ate something he was allergic to. Those needed a heavy duty triple butt cream but it hurt him so much to put it on. I like using the Freshening Mist on

I am sure there is a better or more fancy way of naming this spa treatment that I love to give at a Spa Party ... but I can't think of one right now! This is a treatment that all the guests love doing and it is so easy to do at home as well. It is a great way to relax and focus on yourself for just a few minutes. You will be amazed at the difference it can make in your day!I like to start out my

I think it is awkward to give myself a pedicure so I love going to a nail salon and getting their "spa" pedicure. I spend about $20-25 at an inexpensive (but wonderful!) salon and I sit in their massage chair while they do my feet. I think it is well worth the expense and I get to spend some girl time all to myself ... or I bring a friend. So, what makes it "Scent-sational"?I bring my Sensaria's

There are a variety of products that can be used but in this example I will be highlighting Sensaria's Nourishing Moisturizer for this spa treatment. This lotion is blue and it is not from some added coloring. It comes from Azulene which is derived from the soothing Chamomile plant. This product isn't just for the face which is why it comes in a big 6oz tube as well as a 2oz one. I even use this

You too can have those sexy, silky, smooth legs that you see on models in those fashion magazines! How? Well, besides being blessed with amazing genes ... you can use Sweet and Smooth. There is a reason why it is one of our top selling products! It has a simple and pure ingredient list ... Sea Salt, Sweet Almond Oil, Sugar and Sweet Orange Oil. This is one product that will never fail to make you

[Edited on 4/23/2010 to add a few more uses]Jojoba Oil (pronounced "ho-HO-bah") is one of the most versatile and pure products we offer. It is the golden liquid of desert Jojoba shrub. Native to the arid deserts of the United States and Mexico, Jojoba's basic molecular structure is very similar to sebum, our skin's own natural oil. It absorbs quickly into the skin so there is no greasy feeling

A lot of people aren't sure what to do with this product or how to use it so I thought I would give some tips. My favorite scent is Mango so I will be using that in this example but it also comes in three other scents: Cherry Almond, Green Tea and Rosemary Mint.If you haven't treated yourself to this wonderful spa treatment then you are missing out. Of course, it is the ultimate pampering to go

Since I shared my morning ritual, I might as well share my evening one too. My skin is on the oily side but mostly in the T-zone. I love our Mineral Genesis product line but it is a little too rich for daytime use for me so I save it for my evening ritual. The moisturizer is the only product that I do not use at all since it is so rich and creamy. It is just too much for me but I know many other

Are you like me and have skin that is prone to break out with acne? I notice that it happens to me more when I have a hormone change like when my period is about to start .... or when I am pregnant ... or stop breastfeeding. Also, it tends to happen if I don't exfoliate enough too but that is maybe a topic for another post. I have found that Tea Tree Oil is one of the things that works for my

I have a problem with the occasional (and not so occasional) blemish and I discovered this tip at our 2008 Convention directly from our Product Development Guru. Let me know how it works for you! Wash your face with Sensaria's Face Wash for Men. This product contains Tea Tree Oil which helps fight off the bacteria that promotes acne breakouts. It also has many hydrating Dessert Plant Extracts
