While You Were Sleeping

William Morris wallpaper
"Sleep that knits up the raveled sleeve of care.." 
Shakepeare, Macbeth

On the days when the fondue fork of life stabs you in the palm of your hand, when you open the mail box expecting a thank you note and a moth flies out, when your hourglass shaped bottle of eau-de-vie brandy is empty, save for the soaked pear you can't figure out how to retrieve, here is the cure.
Put on Brahms "Lullabye", or some Bach. When you sleep, beauty products are able to work more effectively. The purpose of sleep is repair.
The first step in this lovely routine is enjoy the Power Repair Facial Steam  - you will feel your day improving, as you experience the roses, lavender, and chamomile. Then massage Fruity Lift into your face. Here, either use cuppping or apply Power Repair Exfoliant, a healing mask. I apply it directly over the Fruity Lift, it seems to act as an accelerant. After the mask dries, shower to wash away the cares of the day.
In the shower, wash with Power Repair on your Clarisonic Brush. Out of the shower, apply the Power Repair Toner, the smell is divine, and it calms the skin. Then apply a generous amount of Power Repair Vitamin C Solution. If I were ever only allowed one beauty product on earth, this would be it.
Applying this cools, clarifies, and brightens your skin. I apply another layer of Vitamin C, then Power Repair Cream. Sometimes I apply the eye cream with Clarisonic Opal, for deeper product penetration.
A generous amount lets it work as a mask while you sleep. The vitamin C moves lymph for a more contoured face, you wake up clear and radiant.
Vitamin C Solution over a clean and exfoliated face is my favorite facial, home or salon.
The common denominator in Power Repair, Body Nurish, and Super Salve products is the ingredients are so pure and so intense, each time you wash is an event. The pleasant experience is as intense as the results. With so many beauty products, the rush is the packaging.
The above products are a great value and can all be purchased for less than a salon facial, with greater results.
In the morning you will look your best for any occasion. Making the mundane special is the most elegant.

Cool Start to a Hot Day

Upon rising, drink 2 liters lemon water, and enjoy your coffee outside. If you have mint growing in your garden, boil fresh mint with rosemary for an antioxident and uplifting tea. Have a Brahms violin concerto playing in the background as you apply the Body Nurish Soothing Jelly Mask. This mask cools as you spread it on, and it translucent. Fill up the space between thoughts with breath.
Using the pads of your fingers, rub in Body Nurish Organic Herbal Hair and Scalp treatment - rub along the skull, exploring the bone structure, stimulating circulation keeps your hair beautiful, like the recent photos from Canada of Princess Shiny Hair. Even better, the oils and herbs contain the uplifting and clairfying scent of sage.
In the shower, scrub with Coconut Sugar Scrub, your skin will be new and smooth, who doesn't want to smell of coconuts all day?
On your now smiling face, as the act of showering releases endorphonins, apply Body Nurish Facial Toner, then VitaNutrient, a vitamin C serum, and for cooling finish with Body Nurish Comfrey Leaf lotion, and SPF 15 Sunshine Filter, a sunscreen that nourishes your skin with soothing herbs and oils. Spritz your legs with CocoButter Spray Oil - more on this amazing product later.
This drill is a great value, as are al the products found at supersalve.com, every product works, and the at home treatments are as good as any spa treatment. 
Now, go out for your walk or work in the garden, eat lunch on the lawn, you look wonderful, and will stay cooler.
