Labor Day is here, summer is officially over (Thank you!) but you can keep aglow with a fantastic facial scrub. Loving the earthy goodness of Soul Sunday’s Seacliff Facial Exfoliant. Just mix with water and apply to wet skin. The Seacliff Facial Exfoliant contains coconut, aloe, fine-grain Himalayan pink salt + rose clay.

I am personally mad about this line.

soul sunday is a creative collective, inspired by travel

after working together as commercial photographer and filmmaker, we switched gears and backpacked abroad for a few months. the inspiration from our travels led to soul sunday. with our roots in photography, design, yoga and wellness, we started a studio collective to foster new creative endeavors. named after our weekend brunch ritual, soul sunday embodies the time where your soul is most free, not bound to the 9-5. soul sunday is the home for that creative freedom and the joy of collaboration.

Soul Sunday’s natural apothecary combines the magical powers of aromatherapy with the finest natural ingredients, to reconnect with favorite travel memories and places. Made by hand in small batches in the USA, Soul Sunday uses playful names and thoughtful ingredients to encourage creativity + escapism.

Soul Sunday sources ingredients from the Earth and is an all natural and vegan skincare line. http://www.soul-sunday.com/

Summer Dry Skin Be Gone with Fleur’s Nutri-Enhancing Oil

August 27, 2015

image002

I’ve been going nuts with Fleur’s Nutri-Enhancing Oil for intensive après-shave and shower smoothness. Not to mention the sexy iridescent look it casts.

I call this next-level dry oil specifically designed to nourish and smooth the body with the resurfacing, anti-oxidant power of pomegranate oil. Three more botanical oils provide extra comfort and care: sesame oil prevents dryness and protects the skin from free-radicals, macadamia nut oil soothes the skin and buriti fruit oil softens the skin and imparts a glowing, golden hue. Its elegant pomegranate-red spray bottle casts a delicate veil over the body and gently perfumes the skin with a bright, sparkling scent of floral and citrus. Lightweight and quickly absorbed by the skin, it leaves a satin-soft finish with no sticky or greasy feeling.
Fleur’s Nutri-Enhancing Oil – BODY is available for purchase in select spas in the United States and at www.lespausa.com.

Take care of one of your assets with some of natures finest ingredients.

Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum creamBrazilian-Bum-Bum-Cream3 with give your ass the love it need. We’re talking cupuaçu butter, açaí and coconut oil to smooth and soften booty like it deserves. This cream is rich in guaraná, a plant of the Amazon that has a number of health benefits, including the ability to burn fat and increase energy. I’m down with it! Does it work? Hmm..The jury is out, I’m still tired as hell but…The caffeine in it, does help tighten the skin and fight the forces of gravity. Can you cut your squat session in half? Prob not. 

I’m down will all thing Brazil. As an esthetician, I often do Brazilian wax treatments. I’ve started using a  light coat of Bum Bum cream my clients tush’s after a treatment. What’s better than a fresh Brazilian and a sweet smelling bum? Not much.

parenting class to the rescue: Parenting on the Same Team from the Center for Emotional Education

August 11, 2015

“Our Theory…. Emotional health is key to the overall health and development of the individual, family, the community at large, and our species in general. We believe that the work we do within the home, school, and therapy setting — supporting social and emotional learning, for the benefit of children and peace within the family — has the power to positively affect the state of the entire planet. Successful emotional processing makes for successful people. That means academically, financially, and socially. It’s a win-win for the child and for humankind.”

I discovered Natalie Christensen, CPDPE on Annapurnaliving.com – the VERY cool site and work of Carrie Ann Moss (yes, of Matrix fame).

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Natalie Christensen is a mother, step-mother, writer, artist, parent coach, and certified Positive Discipline parent educator. Her aim is to support mothers, fathers, children, and teachers in developing powerful emotional support systems that pave the way for lifelong success and happiness. Christensen is a founder of The Center for Emotional Education, and co-creator of Feeleez.

I found myself lost in her site, Feeleez last nightI am always finding myself on the edge of total parenting desperation. I scared the crap out of my my kids last night when I finally, after two hours of my son refusing to go to bed, just screamed, out of nowhere, Gena Rowlands style, “I CAN’TTTT!!!!” I caught my 9 daughter flinch in fear and quickly pretend nothing happened. It was awful. I collapsed into tears in the hallway. Only to have my kids run to “make me feel better.” It was classic disaster-pareting. I have had enough. I jumped back on to Natalie’s site to sign up for her e-course within the hour. I honestly don’t think I can wait until October.

Being a parent can feel natural but good parenting so often does not come naturally. I am the first to admit, I am often clueless. I don’t ask for help nearly enough, and now I have.

Parenting on the Same Team is an acclaimed ecourse offered through the Center for Empathy several times per year. It is designed to be done in community, with space made for questions and discussions throughout, but can also be done individually as a homecourse – and can be found in the SHOP.

Parenting on the Same Team is meant to be a guide to shift parenting from a paradigm in which children and parents are on opposing sides, toward one in which all family members work together, cooperatively finding their way through classic family struggles. It is compatible with natural parenting and Positive Discipline.

The course runs for seven weeks and is followed by an additional seven-week course, with further detail and study, if desired.

What to Expect from the session:

Each session via the Center for Emotional Education is designed to guide you in best practices for establishing your family/school environment for optimal emotional health and long-term success. Sessions are in-depth, engaging conversations in which we look at your particular struggles and needs and apply generous amounts of empathy, insight, research and over a decade of experience. Our goal is to support you, to disentangle your current situation, and to provide you with hands-on tools, methods, and information, enabling you to find the best path forward for yourself and your family.

Scheduling is flexible to allow for even the busiest schedules.

Sessions are easy, warm, and good-feeling.
