Traveling body butter.

Traveling body butter.

Vacation. Restoration. Transition.

I hope you've had a beautiful summer, with restful time for yourself and with your loved ones! We closed the shop in July, the hottest month to ship our body butters. While any melting doesn't affect the usefulness and full potential of the butters, I don't like the way it looks! So we took a break and enjoyed vacation in Mexico. Of course, all of the butters came with me! I love trying them in new climates, to learn more about each one and how they help my skin.

What did I learn on my summer vacation?

Most importantly, that peaceful rest is so healing. The day-to-day stressors of life take their toll our minds, hearts, and bodies. Our bodies must decide daily how to best take care of us, and when we're overloaded, the healing process takes every bit of energy we have (if you've ever had surgery, you know what I mean). But when we give ourselves time to deeply rest, we give our bodies time to focus on repairing what is broken, healing what is hurt, and restoring every cell to its full potential.

The next greatest thing we can do? Feed our body what nourishes it. We need care. We need maintenance, and at times, we need deeper support. Each healing body butter with its unique blend of all-natural, plant-based essential oils cleanses, nourishes, restores, and protects your skin. 

BABY LOVE

Baby Love had the best time in Mexico! She was right at home with her geranium, lemon and tea tree essential oils with their natural healing fragrances. The mango butter combined with super moisturizing shea butter kept our skin feeling fresh and wonderful - even in the heat and humidity. This was my favorite butter to use in the mornings, before starting each day. Baby Love's colors were all around!

SIMPLY SOFT

There’s nothing quite like lounging poolside listening to the sound of lapping water and wild parrots! This was my go-to blend for trips to the pool and ocean. I would apply this nourishing butter to my skin right after swimming, then relax and allow it to absorb into my skin, leaving my skin glowing, soft and smooth. 

SOOTHE

I don’t travel anywhere without our original blend! I never know if I might have a flareup, after suffering from eczema for many years. Soothe is our richest, most protective and relieving body butter blend that soothes even the most troubled skin. The lavender, frankincense, and chamomile essential oils work powerfully and safely to soothe rashes, redness, irritation, eczema, psoriasis, and symptoms of topical steroid withdrawal quickly. Nothing is too challenging for this blend! 

REVIVE

Revive is the perfect blend to take on vacation! Why? Revive not only rejuvenates your skin, it encourages a returning to yourself. With its fresh and bright orange, peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils in whipped mango and shea butters, you will be uplifted and refreshed. I applied revived after long walks, to refresh and nourish my body. It also repels bugs and helps quickly heal any bites!

NOURISH THE QUEENS

One of the very best healing body butters for self-care and grounding you and your skin back to your truest nature is Nourish the Queens. Rest, bathe, shower and soak, then apply Nourish the Queens head to toe. This was my nighttime routine, to apply this rich blend of shea butter with regenerative kokum butter, infused nourishing rose, myrtle, and vetiver essential oils. This blend is warm, sweet, and absolute lovely for nourishing every Queen. 

Thank you for reading and journeying with us on our summer vacation in Mexico! With love, Jen
