Thank a Teacher with Sensaria

For a lot of people school is already over but it is never too late to send a thank you gift to your favorite teacher! You can even buy something now and send it with your kids on their first day of school in September. Teachers are some of the most wonderful people on this planet and they don't get nearly the recognition or pay they deserve. We can all do our part and give a little token of our appreciation for a job well done! Here is just a brief list of some great teachers gifts for $20 or less! Heck you can even split up some of these gifts and it becomes even more inexpensive but so very thoughtful!

Made in the USA!

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! People are always surprised and impressed when I tell them.

Still, even if you don't live here in Washington, you can still tell people you are "buying local" since Sensaria's products are made right here in the USA. We can all be proud to support a company who provides jobs in "Smalltown, USA". Also, every Sensaria representative is his or her own locally owned business so be proud of supporting your local community that way!

In our own way ... we are changing the world one body butter at a time!

New 2010 Products Q&A

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 thought there was some great information in it so I thought I would share it with you!



Q: Most of my clients are in their late 20's or early 30's. Do they really need a product like Equilibria?

A: Absolutely! Equilibria is helpful for all signs of feminine imbalance, not just those seen during menopause.

Q: How does Equilibria work?

A: Equilibria's benefits are based on the age-old foundation of aromatherapy, which utilizes essential oils to enhance health, beauty and well-being. When these scents enter the body through the skin and nose, the brain responds. For example, Ylang Ylang Oil is known as an antidepressant and stress reliever, while jasmine provides support for irregular and painful menses.

Q: Why did you choose Vanilla Bean for the newest body butter?

A: There is no denying the popularity of vanilla. A recent study from "The Smell Report" spoke of the affinity for this scent due to its warm, comforting aroma, and trend-setting New Yorkers recently voted it their favorite scent! (FYI, dirty socks came in last!)

Q: How can I convert my scented candle-loving clients over to Home Fragrance Oils?

A: Everyone cooks with a little garlic or onions, and now you've got the remedy! Our new Rosemary Mint Home Fragrance Oil is perfect to dissipate those cooking odors with a clean, fresh scent, and our Aroma-Sensory Burners look great and don't make any nasty candle-wax mess.

What Are Your Sensaria Essentials?

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 am now all moved (but not unpacked) into an apartment until the new house is ready. So that means I will be moving again in a few months! It is crazy I tell you! Still, I think it will be all worth it to get our dream house.

Through all this I realized what Sensaria items I cannot live without. I packed up all the products I didn't need but here is my list of essentials. Tell me what yours is!

Nourishing Moisturizer ~ I use this lotion for my son's eczema so I never go anywhere without it. I find that I use it all the time on my hands since I wash my hands a million times a day. You know ... dishes, kid's snotty nose, laundry, kids, etc. I now have "Big Blue" (the 6oz size) at home and the smaller one for my purse.

Face Scrub for Men ~ No, it is not just for men! I really love this scrub because it is a little foamy so I feel like I can exfoliate and cleanse at the same time. I actually use it about every other day but it sure is a time saver and it smells good too!

Daily Sun Protection SPF 28 ~ I read a blog post on Sensariality about the importance of using a daily sunscreen on your face and I couldn't have agreed more! The more I use this sunscreen the more I love it! It goes on slightly white but it rubs in quickly. It is not greasy or chalky either. Use it everyday even if you use a foundation with SPF. I do!

Mineral Genesis Pure Gold ~ I actually love the whole line but this product is above and beyond my favorite. I just ran out before the move and I had already packed away my extra supplies. Boo hoo! This is just one of those products you have to try it yourself to understand why I love it so. Instant firming and beautiful, glowing skin are just a few of my reasons.

Lip Balm Trio ~ I have a tube of our lip balm in just about every room of the house plus two in my purse and one in each car. I think I have one of every scent ever made so it is always a nice surprise what flavor I will get depending on where I am. You know, it doesn't matter if it is one of those moving days where I don't care about my hair or makeup but I can't go without my lip balm. In fact, I need some right now! Yum! Tangerine!

Ok, I could go on and on and on but it's time for bed. Don't forget to share your Sensaria Essentials!

Sweet & Smooth Lotion Update

I don't know about you but I am really missing our Sweet & Smooth Lotion right now! I have my one last tube sitting next to my desk and I love it every time I put it on. That yummy orange and vanilla scent makes me want to lick my hands ... but that is gross. Anyway, I wanted to share what our Product Development gal had to say about this product back in February so I am hoping that it will reappear any time now!

"Many of you have contacted me about the status of Sensaria’s Sweet & Smooth Lotion, which was put on stop-sell last year due to quality concerns. You will be pleased to know that we fully intend to re-introduce this item this year. We are in the process of reformulating this product and have already begun rigorously testing the new formula to make sure it conforms to our high standards and expectations. Although we cannot target a specific release date at this time, we are happy to tell you that the process is moving forward and, so far, I am very pleased with the progress."

Getting Out Every Last Speck

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 order to get every last speck of moisturizer out of the tube they end up cutting off the top where it is sealed together! Then they can reach in there with their fingers and scoop it clean. Sheesh! Here I was tapping the product on my counter to squeeze it all out. I just might try it their way next time I think I am all out! Let me know what you think too.

Jojoba Lotion Spray's Many Uses

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 thought I would share too:



Well now we also have another great item that we added to our line called Jojoba Body Lotion Spray and it is really wonderful! I just started using it recently and have been very impressed with it. Here are just some of the ways I use it:

AFTER SHOWER MOISTURIZER: You can spray it on after you get out of the shower and then rub it in while you are still wet. I like to pat myself dry a bit and then spray but either way it is an easy way to moisturize and it so so lightweight. I love that I just spray it everywhere (even my back) and I am done in just seconds.

HAIR DE-TANGLER: I actually thought of using this on my daughter's hair because it is so fine and easily gets tangled after she sleeps. I hate the store bought de-tanglers because they are so heavily scented and well the ingredients are not always the best either. It just takes a few sprays and it makes her hair so much easier to comb and I feel safe using it because it is 90% organic and 100% vegan!

DE-FRIZZER: You can use the jojoba oil out of the bottle but I actually am hooked on the easy spray dispenser this product offers. It is so lightweight so it doesn't make my hair feel greasy or weighted down. I just use a few sprays either directly on my hair or into the palm of my hand and rub it across my dry hair.

LEAVE IN HAIR CONDITIONER: I haven't actually tried this yet but why not spray it onto your damp hair and use it as a leave in hair conditioner? I use a flat iron some days and I bet it will provide some nice protection against the heat damage.

Wow, I think I just talked myself into buying a few more bottle so I can have more around the house! I love that it is unscented so anyone can benefit from using it and if you wear perfume it won't conflict with it. I also love that it is so much easier to carry around than the bottle of oil! Anyway, I bet you can come up with even more uses so share them with me!
