We tried a number of their items but I’d have to put that Lavender Vanilla at the top of the list. This butter is not greasy and has such a beautiful & soothing scent. And best of all…all body butters are on sale right now at 50% off! A great time to purchase for yourself or for holiday gifts that are really going to be appreciated.

If you like a moisturizer that is a bit lighter and fluffier, you’ll want a jar of body souffle. The mango is delicious. The souffles contain avocado oil, shea butter and mango butter…they feel so elegant on your skin. Are you a soap lover? Then head over to the selection of natural soap. Pear & Berry is a perfect blend and will leave your skin clean, refreshed and not dried out in the least.

Finally, I’d like to direct readers to Nurturing Beauty’s excellent Natural Healing Balm. This product is soothing & wonderful for helping with eczema. It also seems to work beautifully for any skin irritation. I used it for a blister with amazing results.

Sign up for the Nurturing Beauty newsletter to keep abreast of all specials and new products. And for holiday shoppers…enjoy free shipping on all orders over $75.00. Now be sure to grab some of that body butter…on sale!

So here’s the thing. There are a number of nationally & internationally known candle companies that produce candles in elegant jars with elegant labels at elegant prices. They smell & burn nicely…that’s for sure. But there’s a less expensive version that is equally gift-worthy and that is Velas Candle Co., handpoured by Elizabeth Hernandez in Texas.

These are wonderful candles with signature fragrances that cannot be found elsewhere on the planet. We sampled a number of scents and were thrilled with each one. Each candle burned evenly and clean with scents that were out of this world.

Choose from White Ginger & Tea (very relaxing), Coconut Milk, Rose Geranium or Fig Orchid. For the holidays, warm your home with Fiesta (spicy cranberry & orange with ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon), White Christmas (vanilla and peppermint) or Navidad (cinnamon & vanilla).

The 13.5 ounce candles are just $22.00 and will give you hours of burn time. Velas just started carrying their candles in a travel candle size (perfect for that hotel room that needs to smell like home). The travel candles are just $6.00 for a 3 ounce size. Reed diffuser sets are available as well which will provide your home with 6-8 months of delightful scent. These are on sale right now for $32.00.

I love this shop and you will too. Visit often as new fragrances are constantly being added to the line. Enjoy free shipping on orders over $100.00.
