We love rainforests. 

In each bar of Pangea Organics are whole plant botanicals, which double as gentle exfoliants, and essential oils.  Distinct aromatic cleansing, from relaxing to uplifting without harsh detergents.  Sustainably grown Palm Oil on Organic and Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms, which supports tropical reforestation and habitat restoration.

The carton is made from 100% post-consumer newspaper without glues or dyes, so it’s biodegradable, compostable and plantable! That’s right, each carton is embedded with Blue Spruce tree seeds!  

The soap is available in three scents, including Canadian Pine with White Sage, Italian White Sage with Geranium & Yarrow, and Pyrenees Lavender with Cardamom.

As you are reading this, I know your nose is running…

All of us struggle with the common cold – we catch it, get over it but can’t get away from it.  Whether you are surrounded by sneezing, coughing and running noses in your home, at work or simply out in public – you need to protect yourself!

Yogi Cameron, former super model turned Ayurvedic healer and yoga master, stars in Model Guru on Veria Living TV network, and has quick and easy remedies to heal your common cold throughout the upcoming flu season.

 

Inhalation Therapy – ancient old trick of expelling mucus from the chest region

Steps:

  • Boil a pot of water
  • Add 3-4 drops of camphor oil
  • Put a towel over your head
  • Place your head over the pot and inhale

Coconut Oil & Peppermint Oil – to keep the nasal passages open

Steps:

  • Mix coconut oil with peppermint oil in the palm of your hand
  • Rub it inside your nose

*Peppermint Oil is sharp and hot, so it helps break down the sinus congestion

 

Healing Lemon Drink

Steps:

  • ½ cup warm water
  • ½ lemon
  • Mix in 1 teaspoon of honey

*You can have this drink several times a day but don’t drink it with meals

 

Yoga Postures

  • Shoulder stand – helps to open the muscles in the neck, and as it’s an inversion, it helps to drain all of the mucus out of the nostrils and chest area (instructions on how to form the pose are in the provided video segment).

*Make sure to get plenty of rest for the mind and the body.

Had an awesome stay-cation spa weekend last week courtesy of OLEHENRIKSEN!

The products are formulated with high concentrations of clinically-proven active ingredients to treat skin care concerns, as well as balancing ingredients to calm and soothe the skin for a brighter, more luminous and youthful complexion.

Of equal importance, they are formulated with indulgent and uplifting aromas and luxurious textures for a truly sensorial, spa-like routine at-home.

Below are founder Ole Henriksen’s product picks for pampering me-time and perfect, glowing skin this fall.

 

Lemon Strip Flash Peel  (this is my FAVE!!) 

  • One-step express peel powered by lactic, glycolic and fruit acids that go to work in three ways to exfoliate and resurface skin, while algae extract soothes and calms 
  • Increases cell turnover, brightens skin tone and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a younger looking complexion 

 

Blue/Black Berry Enzyme Mask

  • Hydrates with sodium hyaluronate and lavender, quenching and soothing dry, sensitive skin
  • Blue/blackberry fruit extract oxygenates, renews skin cells, smoothes and refines texture
  • Panthenol (Vitamin B5) hydrates and nourishes, while papaya enzyme renews skin and removes dead skin cells

 POWER|peelTM

  • A potent, 3-step clinical grade facial treatment that emulates both a microdermabrasion and peel service
  • Treats and reduces wrinkles, smoothes skin texture, and reverses hyperpigmentation and sun damage to reveal a brighter complexion 

Pure Truth Youth Activating Oil

  • Pure, unfiltered, unprocessed and cold pressed Rose Hips Oil activates skin’s natural reparative ability
  • A single source of active Vitamin A, Vitamin C and essential fatty acids reveals bright, resilient and radiant skin
  • Evens skin tone, lightens dark spots, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
