Craft or Vendor Events for the rest of the Holiday Season

Immune Boost is the Essential Oil of the month

Welcome November! We love the Fall weather, but not the cold and flu that sometimes accompany the season--

Introducing our Essential Oil of the month special to help you get all the oils you need in your home.
My very favorite essential oil is on special and allow me share a few ways I use it: When I am just barely starting to get a cold, I put three to four drops in my diffuser and set that right by my bed while I'm sleeping. I have done this several times and have woken up feeling "just fine"!

Another use is when someone in my house is already fighting a bad cold, I diffuse Immune Boost in the kitchen and encourage everyone to breathe in the billowing air that is being diffused. I encourage them to take in two or three deep breaths of the diffused Immune Boost. Why breathe it in? I learned from a certified aromatherapist that when the immune boost molecules attach to our lung tissue, they become like little fighter "warriors" ready to fight off any colds or illness. They go right to work as warriors in our bodies and I, for one, like that image of helping my body to stay healthy. Two of the most effective methods to use essential oils is through inhalation or application (diluted) on our skin.

I also adore having Immune Boost in a travel rollerball full of coconut oil and then adding just a drop or two of Immune Boost. My preferred method for this is to use it on my pressure points, which includes my wrists, behind the ears and along my collarbone or along my hairline. If I have a sore throat, then I will also apply it with the rollerball exactly where I am having pain in my throat. Simply put, I have to have Immune Boost during cold and flu season in my house. With five of us, it is easy to bring a cold in and immune boost makes a big difference for me personally. If you have a diffuser already, you can enjoy Immune Boost on special this month. If you need a diffuser, then you can enjoy a bundled discount! Find everything here:
www.OurLemongrassSpa.com/Jill

Please take a look at our flier which recommends this blend not be used near or around those under age ten.

Here is the bundled special with our high-quality Welcome Home Diffuser, which runs over six hours and some have had it run as long as a full eight hours.

Thanks for taking the time to read about my favorite essential oil and I look forward to your comments sharing about your favorite essential oil.

Gift of a Loving Care Gift Set

Do you know someone who is currently going through chemotherapy or radiation or they just finished their treatments? Cancer treatments can really damage our skin and a nurturing gift set is a thoughtful gift.

Big News:

For just a couple more days (this ends when October ends), our company is GIVING a Loving Care Gift Set (retail value 29.00) to those going through any type of cancer journey. Personally, I have had friends share that these three products make a big impact after radiation or chemotherapy. If nothing else, sending a gift set to someone who is going through a difficult time can be encouraging. The beautiful part of this is that no purchase is necessary and our owner has already sent out over 500 of these Loving Care Gift Sets at her cost, in order to give back.

If you would like to nominate a friend, neighbor or relative for a Loving Care Gift Set, simply send an email with a sentence or two about the recipient's journey and their mailing address to:
Heather@LemongrassSpa.com no later than the last day of October.

If you are coming across this blog post outside of that window, then the Loving Care Gift Set may be purchased on my site year round and here is the direct link:

https://www.ourlemongrassspa.com/JILL/shop/PRODUCTDETAIL.aspx?prod=G4909

VIP Let me Spoil you Gift through September 30

Hello there friends-

Every now and then I love to spoil my customers with a wonderful GIFT with their purchase and that time is now.
Just for the next two days (September 29th and 30th), I'm offering a generous gift.

Here we go--

With the purchase of either our Eight (8) piece Make-Up Brush Collection (a true make-up artist's collection, but also something that I use every day for my simple and easy mineral application) OR with the purchase of our Midnight Orchid Collection, I will give you your choice of either our Organic Mascara or our decadent Kabuki Brush to use with your minerals. Both of these gifts are valued at 16.00. Please keep reading to see how to redeem--

Let's share about the 8 Piece Make Up Brush Collection First:

Are your make-up brushes one step away from falling apart or do you have a so/so set that you put up with?
Why put up with ratty brushes that sort of work for you when this set is incredibly reasonable? Having beautiful and effective make-up brushes makes a huge difference in your final look and in the ease of applying your minerals.

Women are usually shocked to learn that our 8 Piece Brush Set is $48.00 because it retails elsewhere for over $90.00.
Personally, I'm impressed with the quality of our make-up brushes, as I have been using mine for well over three years and they still look fantastic and work well. One thing that women usually comment on at my mineral make-over parties is how SOFT and luscious our brushes are! Have you ever used a make up brush that just feels like silk on your face? The 8 Piece Brush Collection comes in a roll and tie pouch, which is made from hemp and cotton material.



8 Piece Brush Collection: Item J9310 $48.00

Another Wonderful Option-- Midnight Orchid Collection:

If you are ready to try our new decadent Midnight Orchid instead, please choose the Collection (Item G4455), which includes five products and has a six dollar savings built-in.

The Midnight Orchid Collection (Item G4455) includes:
Hydrating Body Spritz, Body Polish, Prebiotic Body Wash and a Hand and Body Lotion Duo beautifully wrapped in a re-usable white organza gift bag. The Midnight Orchid Collection is $52.00 for the five items and includes the complimentary organza bag.

What does Midnight Orchid smell like? I'm glad you asked-- Here is how our owner and founder describes it:
"Discover the ultimate indulgence when you experience new Midnight Orchid Body Care line. A fresh, feminine blend of orchid and sweet pear combined with sandalwood and soft amber." Midnight Orchid Collection is Item G4455


How will you receive your choice of either the Kabuki Brush OR an organic mascara?
Please either send me an email with your order at LemongrassJill@Gmail.com

So....there you go....You can have your cake and eat it too. Yes, you read that correctly: If you don't need a make-up brush collection or the Midnight Orchid collection, choose your own necessities that total $48.00 or greater and place your order on this link to receive your gift:

Yummy Vegan Minestrone Soup

Today's lunch was a delicious vegan minestrone soup and it didn't take a lot of time to prepare and we have at least one more meal still in the pot. Don't you just love it when you cook once and have two meals prepared? I do! It makes me even happier when a recipe is quick and easy because I am not a gourmet cook and I don't appreciate being in the kitchen for hours upon hours.

One of my favorite cookbooks is by Pampered Chef and it is their Vegetarian Table cookbook. Although I am not a vegetarian, I prefer to eat more meat-less meals in a week than those with meat for health reasons. My daughter is vegan so we didn't have to deviate from this recipe to keep it friendly for her and it was delicious.

If you don't have a Pampered Chef consultant, and would love to order this cookbook, I have added three direct links for three of my friends who sell Pampered Chef below. Every single recipe I have tried in this book is excellent and worth repeating. I have to share that even my meat-eating boys in the house love these recipes.

Note: we did not have any Farro at home (but had all the other ingredients) so we substituted with Rotini Gluten-Free Pasta and also added some Risotto. We chose to add one cup of the Rotini and 1/2 cup of the Risotto.
We also went ahead and added double of the carrots and celery to make it a little tastier. In fact, I'm not sure that I have ever had Farro in my pantry so I will have to check that out next time I shop. One thing I learned one summer working for a caterer is to "go with it" and use the ingredients you have on hand. This was absolutely delicious with the gluten-free rotini.


Here are three Pampered Chef friend's websites if you want to peruse their cookbook selections:

New Product: Prebiotic 3 in 1 Wash

New Product Spotlight: "Prebiotic 3-In-1 Wash"


We just released a brand-new prebiotic wash and the story behind it is worthy of sharing with you!
It was highlighted at our summer product release that one of the missions that Heidi Leist (CEO, owner and founder of Lemongrass Spa) has is to help our customers have fewer bottles in their shower or tub area because this will put fewer bottles in the landfill, save our customers money and allow them to use healthier products on their bodies, which means that fewer chemicals are also going down the drain.

The Prebiotic is a revolutionary product for Lemongrass Spa and if you don't know much about our prebiotics, I'm delighted to share with you here, as this is exciting news:

Our Lemongrass Spa Product Developer, Mark Hessling, created the prebiotics as "health food for your skin" and the prebiotics "allow our body to thrive by focusing on the super-ecology of our body". Mark Hessling was the FIRST person to develop prebiotics and he has been doing this for twenty-five years. He worked with the World Health Organization on Cancer and he has used prebiotics to clean up environmental spills by using the natural kelp prebiotic formulation to naturally clean environmental spills. Here is what I share about that at my events: "When you add chemicals to clean up a chemical spill, you just have more chemicals. Our in-house product manager developed a plant based prebiotic that will naturally clean and eat the bad bacteria and encourage the good and healthy bacteria. This growth of healthy bacteria is true for our skin and we are receiving incredible testimonials on these prebiotics from our customers."

With the NEW 3 in 1 Prebiotic Wash, this ONE bottle will replace three bottles in your shower and that will save you (and your customers) money, and the prebiotic wash actually helps clean the water as the excess goes down the drain. Think about that for a moment: When we, as consultants, switch our families, our customers, our hostesses and our new customers to a GREEN and earth friendly prebiotic wash, it means that when we use this product, "it leaves NO footprint on the environment". Not only that, but Mark Hessling shared on our new product LGU launch call that "it will help to remove heavy metals and compounds in the environment". Isn't that incredible? This 3 in 1 Prebiotic Wash will "balance your body's ecosystem; the microbiological zoo." Mark Hessling Were you aware that we have this incredible Environmental Scientist, Product Developer and Innovator on the Lemongrass Spa home office team?


p.s. What are the three uses for the "Prebiotic 3 in 1 Wash"?
Answer: Shampoo, Body Wash and Shaving Gel

There you are! This Prebiotic Wash may help to improve the health of your skin, save money and improve our environment all with ONE bottle!


If you haven't tried our Prebiotic Body Wash, you are also in for a real treat.
Here is how we describe this innovative product in our newest catalog:
"Did you know....your skin is literally a microbiological zoo?
Our innovative prebiotic body wash is an incredibly powerful ally to creating a healthy environment for your skin.
The ingredients in this formulation, including sea kelp, help balance the pH of the skin and act as emollients. the wash works in a positive manner with the body's biosystem to aid in skin restoration and include natural healing agents, which expedite the recovery and repair of skin from blemishes, scars and wounds."

Processed Enough?

Even though I visit the Grocery Store every week, it still baffles me that we have moved from a store full of food to all these processed food items. I'm still not used to this "shift". 

If you look at the meat photo (below) that I captured in my local store, this runs the entire length of one grocery aisle and then more processed meats overflow and continue in two or three more aisles.

This is NOT the meat department of my childhood.  I can recall those trips to the store with my mom and shivering as we entered the colder aisles with the meat. I remember crossing my arms and rubbing my cold forearms in an attempt to warm up as she carefully selected chicken and roasts for the week.   The difference when I was a child is that you would see whole chickens, cuts of meat, and various options that were not pre-packaged in neat little tubs with sauce and just needing a bit of time in the microwave to re-heat.  The "quick" version of meat at that time was that some of the chicken had been cut into the thighs or breasts and that step was already finished.  The lunch meat area and processed meat area that now rules the meat section was extremely small.  I remember examining that strange bologna package as a kid and then also the lunchmeat with the flakes of red and green, wondering what in the world that was and feeling a bit grateful that my mom did not purchase meat with Christmas colors included. 

I have read in several places that so many Americans have no idea how to cook and when I walk through a standard grocery store, that makes so much sense to me.  Most "food" options available to us today just require a re-heating option or many items may be eaten straight out of a box with no preparation needed whatsoever. 

I don't think my grandparents would even recognize the "food" available in grocery stores today. 

On the positive side, it does make it much faster and less complicated to walk through a grocery store and to pick up what is needed, as there are so many aisles I don't even need to visit. 

At times, I become ingrained with this being the "normal" and may not even "see" all this processed food for what it is and may not even think about all the added preservatives and ingredients that would be foreign to my grandparents.  

Do you remember when grocery stores had more real food?

What is your favorite grocery store? 

What percentage of your favorite store would you guess that you walk through when you shop? 

What is your favorite source for excellent recipes?
