Brittanie’s Thyme of Cedar Springs NOTE: Thank you to all for your interest in the new products we have been sampling. These products will be available for purchase starting March 20th! Spring is truly coming and it’s very important to prepare your skin for venturing back out of doors. Even though indoor winter air is very dry and actually depletes our skin of much needed moisture, once we go outside we are exposing our skin to the elements of wind, sun and particles/toxins in the air. Not only is moisturizing critical, so is exfoliating. To prevent the buildup of dead cells on your skin’s surface, gently exfoliate once a week to stimulate circulation, remove old cells and provide your skin with better ability to breath. Our Organic Almond Oatmeal Scrub is just the solution for gently exfoliating the skin. Ingredients: Organic Oatmeal finely ground – provides protein silica to soften the skin’s surface gently without harsh chemicals and leaves skin feeling satiny to the touch after each treatment. Organic Almonds finely ground – provides scrubbing action to remove surface buildup without harming new skin cells. Simply add a few drops of Organic Citrus Cleanser or water to 1 tablespoon of Organic Almond Oatmeal Scrub to make a fresh new scrub each time you use it. Feel the softness immediately after each use and see the new glow your skin will have!
Imagination to Creation Jewelry of North Muskegon NEW!!! “Strands”…possibly the most versatile jewelry in the world! “Strands” can be worn several different ways in the front of your body OR down your back to dress up a sundress or plain outfit. They can also be worn partially in the front and partially in the back. “Strands” can also be worn as a belt or in an updo. What a fun and practical piece of jewelry! Also new this Saturday will be “BeadforLife” necklace sets. BeadforLife is a non-profit organization providing impoverished Ugandan women and their children the opportunity to rise above poverty by making beads from recycled paper. I have purchased some of these beads and have mixed them with Gemstones and the like to make pretty spring and summer sets. Again, this Saturday I will have the last week of the “End of 2009” 50% off jewelry sale with the items on sale not having been shown before. See you there!!!
