PRODUCT REVIEW It's that time again!  I've been on the hunt for a really good heavy lotion/cream to take care of my legs and ashy feet.  This whole time it was in my shop!  We have been carrying some Pure Anada products for a while and I was recommended to try this for my dryness.  It has changed my feet and my life!

This Product is INCREDIBLE!  I slather it on in the morning and my feet (mostly my heels) stay moisturized into the night!  I've never had this happen before!  I'm in love.  Okay let's get to the nit and the grit:

PROS

-super conditioning

-nice scent

-locally produced

-affordable ($14)

-easy to stuff in any bag/purse

-fair trade

CONS

-small (4 oz)

-very heavy/greasy

Whether you choose to use this product on your legs and feet only, or your hands, it will reduce any skin issue.  It's recommended for all parts of the body, even the face!  If you're one that doesn't like greasy products use less and massage it in more.  I also read that you can put it on your skin just before you leave the bath/shower and you'll be soft and smooth all day!  I'm going to try that next...

Next time you're in the shop try one of the testers!  You won't regret it!  That's the fresh perspective...

NAILS, DONE.

Every Thursday I paint my nails.  I'll try any color, I'm not afraid.  What I didn't realize about my new habit, was that it would turn me into a hand model!

Maybe my lack of hair has really allowed me to experiment with other things?  Is there anything you do weekly that's just for you?  Any 'self' stuff?  I know some women who do fancy hair treatments and others that take exquisite baths.

I do my nails (never my cuticles) and unwind as they dry.  It really is restful actually.  Enjoy the weekend and try to relax a little if you can.  I will work on paying attention to my cuticles...

That's the fresh perspective... 

Hello March!

Spring is coming, maybe she's not close, but she is coming!  One of the big trends this spring is gingham.  Would you wear gingham? Have you started your spring shopping? Are you wearing pastels and dreaming of lighter jackets?  I know that I'm pretty close to parking my parka...

Personally, I love gingham in dresses and blouses.  I can't wait to wear less clothes!

Peace

We really love you guys! Thank you!  That's the fresh perspective....

Here's a note.  Short and sweet. Hi,

Don't forget to take some time for yourself right now.  Life is real crazy and sometimes we forget to take time.  It doesn't matter what you do or how you do it, just do it.

That's the fresh perspective... 

See you next year!

We are closed for the holidays so there will be no blog post till after I return in the new year.  2015.  Just around the corner is the next 365 days of your life that will be filled with ups, downs, and all kinds of other stuff (hopefully only good). We are having our staff Christmas party in January so maybe I'll post a few pictures from our night along with the list of my resolutions.  Okay, well that's all guys!  Enjoy your holidays and your last days of 2014!

Peace
