Being the head formulator for my company The Body Deli, has given me the opportunity to work with some of the most exciting all natural products from around the world. One of my favorite things is to get new product samples and play in my "Cosmetic Kitchen" other wise known as the R&D lab. </span></span></span></span></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span></span></span></span> </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">I feel like a little kid in a candy store, what gets me going is textures, aromas, new innovative active ingredients to exfoliate, hydrate, reduce wrinkles or whatever the need may be. Quite honestly our latest product, Light Facial Emulsion is one of the most exciting. </span></span></span></span></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span></span></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)">My inspiration came from one of my cleanses. I was on a program of ionic minerals and found a very interesting phenomenon, a certain </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">mixture of minerals really made my skin soft topically and even more dramatic was that it also reduced the oiliness of my skin. Then a lightbulb moment happened and I thought maybe I could formulate a product using ionic minerals that would hydrate, soften and smooth the skin while controlling excess oil and breakouts. </span></span></span></span></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Well my dear friends that is exactly what happened. I have worked on this formula longer than any other product, it has been about 2 years in the process and I feel that I have the mineral ratio just right. It is one of the more unique products on the market today. </span></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"></span></span></span></div> <div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span></span></span></span></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">The unique benefits of this product is that it makes the skin soft, supple and moist while controlling excess oil. Most of the moisturizers today that control oil secretion either contain actives such as salicylic acid or the harsh benzol peroxide. These ingredients do a good job of controlling oiliness, but in many cases horribly dry out the skin and cause a very tight uncomfortable feeling. I have many customers that come to me in tears saying that they have oily skin but most products make it feels so dry and tight. Well no fear a solution is here...Light Facial Emulsion is really an answer to this dilemma. There are very few clean, lightweight moisturizers that do what our Light Emulsion can do.</span></span></span></span></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">It really is quite a breakthrough in skin care technology, and the best part is it is totally natural, free of all BPO (Benzyl Peroxide) harsh acids, toxic "oil" free emollients and paraben based preservatives.

So far I have covered greening your bathroom, a simple oatmeal and almond honey buff scrub, a salt scrub made from local ingredients, all natural sun protection etc. Stay tuned I will start posting my recipes from my segments right here!</span></span></span> </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;">Have a beautiful Day</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;">David Parker</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;">The Cosmetic Chef</span></span></span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>David Parkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10026289356232342436noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3919401558213322287.post-25110955222829868822008-05-07T13:55:00.000-07:002008-05-07T15:40:45.544-07:00An Apple a day keeps the Botox away - Supercharged ACV Toner<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHZzG7KcxbXSF78AnafxzrimgdvU7ITfmMr8Cp_ksIahwIrOv9hnpLuaamOkUgAc0SLywQ3OUlAeM2TSUgZlRBKoLWsbKUsS5jvsUnR8rt_UcGe3oLjoY4kPLjAPmj6CGo3XFjbgodgJYP/s1600-h/recipes.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHZzG7KcxbXSF78AnafxzrimgdvU7ITfmMr8Cp_ksIahwIrOv9hnpLuaamOkUgAc0SLywQ3OUlAeM2TSUgZlRBKoLWsbKUsS5jvsUnR8rt_UcGe3oLjoY4kPLjAPmj6CGo3XFjbgodgJYP/s400/recipes.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197743107728224434" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgflWwruhWyxF3roVz4IR-kCoyuU77WqO_SZOIan1hIdSrh5jusIE4Mr4jR7WQSceEaY7AO5v9Lr_zG1g37TcPdzEBFm8-T2hIvfso-rB4121y-F79HgpiBvlAhIYTIv5Tg8H3dATkssVR/s1600-h/facialgirl.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgflWwruhWyxF3roVz4IR-kCoyuU77WqO_SZOIan1hIdSrh5jusIE4Mr4jR7WQSceEaY7AO5v9Lr_zG1g37TcPdzEBFm8-T2hIvfso-rB4121y-F79HgpiBvlAhIYTIv5Tg8H3dATkssVR/s400/facialgirl.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197761533137924306" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrwYLZo-4q8LfsxJEgM4zJzgTrrJRK9HpeuDBKBVL8p9O-TC7othY985o74j4WlkWlrPQ24vDObccZ_JTj-xHTD9auaLTz8CTs5I_xh7mjhzp19fS-vm-EAZ_PSaSWI0ys12nc-hpn9iPC/s1600-h/5C-167023-X500-1.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrwYLZo-4q8LfsxJEgM4zJzgTrrJRK9HpeuDBKBVL8p9O-TC7othY985o74j4WlkWlrPQ24vDObccZ_JTj-xHTD9auaLTz8CTs5I_xh7mjhzp19fS-vm-EAZ_PSaSWI0ys12nc-hpn9iPC/s400/5C-167023-X500-1.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197743112023191746" /></a><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">From old wives tales to the miracle elixir for all maladies apple cider vinegar has been used for home based cures for centuries. Wasn't Fergie quoted recently that apple cider vinegar was her secret to loosing her tummy fat? I don't doubt that, but I am sure it also had something to do with her 100 dollar plus per hour trainer and enough crunches to make any abdominals resemble an Iron Man suit (by the way didn't Robert Downey Jr. just rock in Iron Man). A while back we got the treat to host Robert and his beautiful wife Susan in The Body Deli for a late night private shopping spree. Robert is so sweet and charming, I am so happy for him! </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Apple Cider Vinegar is an absolute fact for getting gorgeous skin. Vinegar has a tonic action that promotes blood circulation in the small capillaries that feed the skin nutrient and oxygen rich blood. Vinegar is also antiseptic, it curbs the nasty bacteria that cultivates in our pores that lead to blemishes and breakouts. But overall vinegar is excellent for all skin types it helps dry mature skin increase circulation and promotes faster cellular turnover, and it also is beneficial for oily skin as an astringent and blemish busting home remedy. Apple Cider Vinegar is what I call a friend with benefits. </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Here is one of my favorite toner recipes.

Raw vinegar is a must because it contain the all important living enzymes and minerals that make this vinegar really work. My favorite is the Bragg brand, it has been around forever and is readily available in every health food store and even some traditional grocery chains. </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Natural apple cider vinegar differs from refined or distilled vinegars by the simple truth that it is made from fresh, crushed organically grown apples and allowed to mature in wooden barrels, which boosts its natural fermentation qualities. When mature, it contains a web like substance, called "mother", which becomes visible when the rich brownish liquid is held to the light. </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">The mother is the dark, cloudy substance in the Apple Cider Vinegar formed from naturally occurring pectin and apple residues. Its appearance is due to molecules of proteins connected in strand-like chains. If you want to see results you gotta get down with your momma, by the way Mother's Day is around the corner. Do something special this year send her a case of Braggs I am sure she will get much more use out of that than a bunch of sorry flowers that you order at the last minute through the web.

Make sure just to warm do not bring to boil. Place the dried rosemary in the glass jar. Cover with warm apple cider vinegar. Let the herbs infuse into the vinegar for 2 weeks. This will make a lovely scented and therapeutic herbal tonic. Then strain the vinegar and herbs. Mix together the distilled water and vinegar place into a glass container and refrigerate. Will last in the refrigerator for 2-3 months. </span></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Directions</span>.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Daily after cleansing morning and night take a couple of tablespoons of the mixture and soak a cotton ball.

If you answered yes to any one of these questions then you need this recipe. Quite frankly anything you can buy in the beauty supply store that claims to "restore" the hair basically doesn't work. All the commercial products do is smooth the hair shaft, make it feel softer and detangle. But feeding, nourishing and infusing the vital nutritional factors that the hair needs to thrive no-way, no-day. To get outrageous hair you will need to whip up this miracle worker right in your own kitchen. <br /><br /></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family:verdana;">This recipe works like magic, it takes a bit of work to gather the ingredients but it is well worth it. We are going to put together a nutrient dense paste that contains all the vital nutrients needed to bring the hair back to life. The hair basically needs a constant supply of proteins, minerals and essential fatty acids to keep strong, elastic and shiny. I prefer to use as many whole, organic and raw ingredients as possible.</span><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:verdana;font-size:13px;"><br /></span></div><div> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Lets get started:</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Your will need a medium sized mixing bowl. I prefer ceramic or glass, please no metal. To begin the base of my hair treatment you will need organic, raw sesame paste.

Massage well until the hair is saturated. Then cover your hair with plastic wrap and put on a shower cap and hang out for at least 20-30 minutes. Watch your favorite soap opera, talk to a friend, meditate or do what ever makes you feel good. Then remove the wrapping and wash out thoroughly in your shower. For best results do not shampoo right after the treatment, it is best to wait 24 hours.

I have been very fortunate that I was introduced to cleansing in my late teens. Regular cleansing has been a godsend. I have cured my self of asthma and acne through my focused cleansing programs that I did in my early twenties. Cleansing works, everyone needs to take the time to flush the body and rebuild it with fresh foods, pure water, appropriate nutritional supplements, rest and proper exercise. </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></span></div><div> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Visualize the body as a river. A healthy river is pure, rushing and flowing on the other spectrum a toxic river is stagnant, infested with micro-organisms/algae and is quite unpleasant to be around. This is an effective metaphor for the human body. At its optimum it should be a well hydrated machine whose circulation is strong and most importantly there are no obstructions that can cause stagnation. </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></span></div><div> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">What is the body's number one source of stagnation? The colon. The colon is designed to be an elegant plumbing system that processes ingested nutrition and breaks down food particles into essential nutrients to fuel the body. In its worst cast scenario it is a toxic cesspool that poisons, infects and ultimately leads to the degeneration of the body. Did you know that an impacted colon can actually drain 80% of the bodies immune system to process the junk in the trunk. </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></span></div><div> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The springtime is a great time to invest in your health and take your beauty ritual to the next level. When we face the process of detoxifying the body it can seem overwhelming. All sorts of anxieties begin to surface, can I do it, is it safe, is it necessary, what happens if I feel awful etc, etc. My simple suggestion is "just do it", the mind will always create excuses not to pursue a healthier state of being.</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></span></div><div> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">A good detox program should start with the colon. This is the most impacted area of the the body. As much as all the foodies out there love good food, drink and dessert, accumulation of these delicacies over time lead to many not so yummy side affects. If you experience any of these symptoms, I predict a cleanse may be in your near future.</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></span></div><div> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">1. weight or fluid gain</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">2. poor circulation</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">3. sinus congestion</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">4. aches/lower back pain</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">5. skin problems (acne, blemishes, dullness)</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">6. lethargy/fatigue</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">7. depression</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></span></div><div> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Yes, I know what all those symptoms feel like all too well, but the good news is with some diligence and a little discipline applying a focused detox program can have magical benefits in reversing these symptoms and bring back the feeling of OMG I am alive again!

And the answer is most certainly YES. You can visit a spa or holistic clinic to have guidance, but you also can certainly have a very effective cleanse and rejuvenating experience right in your own home. With the help of these cleansing kits you will be on your way to looking and feeling great just in time to get that beach body before summer hits. These are my top favorite cleanses I have done each one numerous times and each one works brilliantly.</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg24TiEhoXU1buB2tbw913P08djpmUt5Tk4uMDd6H0erjptRMY0AIsMhrL-OVhzzpP36QAeLJ3bQdHd7pwtIP9N-2DAAOj4SA1PnoQo5T1XNtnRgwmSN3MReOQZhcjnhxXuAMaXuB5huDtw/s1600-h/C28.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg24TiEhoXU1buB2tbw913P08djpmUt5Tk4uMDd6H0erjptRMY0AIsMhrL-OVhzzpP36QAeLJ3bQdHd7pwtIP9N-2DAAOj4SA1PnoQo5T1XNtnRgwmSN3MReOQZhcjnhxXuAMaXuB5huDtw/s400/C28.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180656559891236930" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div> </div><div> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">1.

A&S is by far the most comprehensive and deep internal cleanse on the market. This cleanse will get deep down to the mucoid plaque from the intestinal wall. It is not for the faint of heart, this is serious business. A&S is a 28 day cleanse. You can do all 28 days or choose to do 1, 2 or 3 weeks. It is up to you on how you can balance your schedule. The full 28 days is best, but hey 1 week is also fantastic. A&S consists of 5 products: Chomper, Herbal Nutrition, Psyllium Husk Powder, Hydrated Bentonite Clay and Flora Grow. Together theses products help to condition, soften and break up mucoid plaque and to remove toxic waste from the alimentary canal, organs and cells. The Psyllium and Bentonite clay are used to make up a shake that is taken 3-5 times daily, it is not the typical shake from the DQ, but a rather bland, thick concoction that acts like a broom to sweep your insides clean.</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">This cleanse is the most aggressive of the ones that I recommend. Especially in the Master Phase, 6 days without food. This cleanse will by far give you the most dramatic detoxifying results but it is very difficult to do much else but cleanse. If you choose to do the A&S program you might need to take at least 1 week off of work and solely focus on the program.</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Retail Price. $240.00</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">For more information about the Arise and Shine Program.</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Check out their website. </span></span></span><a href="http://www.ariseandshine.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">www.ariseandshine.com</span></span></span></span></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></span></span></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /><br /></span></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg4Jx8fZsJieahQklfkOuN-G2Q_jmeHEFOfvwPdWmBU20W5XUDGmy6RtiWoRy3e_DX4LNDLigNwjPSJmNhLDBnhMNkJqTlErLqJGcBjmd6CCyvn64141Kv6DnEol49pO7ANNipr86BDuuE/s1600-h/cck_big.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg4Jx8fZsJieahQklfkOuN-G2Q_jmeHEFOfvwPdWmBU20W5XUDGmy6RtiWoRy3e_DX4LNDLigNwjPSJmNhLDBnhMNkJqTlErLqJGcBjmd6CCyvn64141Kv6DnEol49pO7ANNipr86BDuuE/s400/cck_big.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180663260040218706" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">2.

I love BH they rock! Their quality is second to none and I feel that their product is some of the very best available. Not only do they produce great cleansing programs they also offer over 600 different herbal products to the medicinal trade. Through their vast network of wildcrafters and certified organic farmers they deliver the highest potency and effective blends on the market. Martha VolChok, BH's Master Herbologist is the brainchild behind the company. Her blends and formulations are classically inspired with the main focus to restore and maintain health.</span></span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I have used the BH colon cleansing kit quite a few times. And I love, love it. It is more gently that the Arise and Shine program. Personally I like to do Arise and Shine every 2-3 years for a major deep dive and then BH's program is the perfect bi-yearly tune up. It is powerful enough to see results yet gently enough to be able to somewhat still be able to function and go about your normal business. I always suggest a major time out, at least a week off when you cleanse. But with our crazy schedules it is difficult sometimes to get away for that length of time.</span></span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The cleanse consists of two products, Digestive Stimulator and Toxin absorber. The kit provides a 30 day supply. Toxin Absorber is a mix that comes in individual packets that are used to make a shake. You can use plain water or organic apple juice. This cleanse like the Arise and Shine can be followed for the full program in this case 30 days or as long as you can dedicate to the process. I don't suggest doing the cleanse less than 7 days.

She began with starring roles in multiple films opposite the likes of Diane Keaton, Bette Midler, and Goldie Hawn. At six, Ashley was the youngest child ever nominated for an Emmy Award. After moving to Los Angeles, CA, Ashley continued her busy career starring in popular television shows “The Mommies”, “The Pretender”, and “That 70’s Show”. She also kept her spare time full working on multiple films, like the cult classic “Drop Dead Fred”, alongside Winona Ryder in “The Crucible”, and with Scarlet Johansson in the Oscar nominated “Ghost World”.<br /><br />The line looks promising, I look forward to experiencing the aroma blends. The products looks a little kitschy, but hey fragrance and beauty is supposed to be fun. The fragrances come in both a base of coconut oil and organic jojoba, or perfumers alcohol. I tend to go for the alcohol, if the alcohol is an organic grape it makes for a pure delivery system for the fragrance. With scents like "Femme Fatale" and "The Supermodel" using blends of amber, neroli and orange blossom. I look forward to experiencing the product and getting a more intimate point of view on the nuances of the aromatics. The products will be available in select Whole Foods and boutiques for more info please visit the site.</span></span><br /></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px;

Kristine visits WeCare regularly to keep up her amazing figure and luminous glowing complexion. Kristine is not a house hold name, but she has been a top model for almost twenty years. Once you see her familiar face, she has illuminated campaigns for Levi's, Swiss Army, Sephora and many, many more. </span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Kristine is truly a natural beauty. She has to be one of the most effortlessly elegant and graceful woman I know. I love her sense of style and the way she carries herself. Kristine told me, she recently got married to a great guy and is evident by her sense of inner peace. She divides her time between living in New York and on the beautiful island of St. John in the US Virgin Islands.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">I spent some time with Kristine a few days ago at WeCare. She was just back from shooting a campaign for the launch of Swiss Army's new fashion collection. Kristine mentioned that she desires to wind down her modeling career because almost twenty years of non-stop travel is exhausting, but I hope she doesn't we all want to keep seeing her lovely face in the glossies!</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Kristine sent me a wonderful quote about The Body Deli products, she has been a loyal fan for many years.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">"I am more than happy to endorse your company in any way I can, as I truly believe in it. Just this week using it again, my skin has become more radiant than ever. Unfortunately in my business as a model, I am always introduced to one more new brand of skin care, but over and over again, when I return to use Body Deli, my skin "thanks me".

Goldie is indeed golden. She has been a long time customer of ours. It is always so refreshing when she pops in. All I can say is that her personality is exactly what you would expect from her onscreen persona. She is witty, bubbly and loves to laugh. Goldie really is at the top of my favorite celeb list because she is so real, genuine and enthusiastic.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Goldie lives part-time in Palm Desert.

I am sorry to say slathering all the cream in the world will not give you the hot body that you crave. There is no quick fixes, miracle pills or super slimming potions, getting the hottest body on the block is going to take a lot of hard work and sweat. I do mean sweat, have you heard of Bikram Yoga...Bikram is a systematic series of hatha yoga posses consisting of 26 asanas. They were developed by world renowned yogi, Bikram Choudhury (hence the name) and mainly taught through The Yoga College of India in Los Angeles. </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)">Bikram is an intense series of yoga postures done at a brisk pace in a heated room. The room usually is around 105 degrees. You guested it this 90 minute series of contortions makes you sweat like you never have before. This is core sweat the kind that detoxes your inner organs. I love it, it really works. </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102);font-family:'trebuchet ms';" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102);font-family:'trebuchet ms';" >I started doing Bikram at the beginning of the year, at a great studio in Palm Springs by a very animated and good humored yogi Ranjeeta. She pushes you to your limits, but is gentle enough on beginners to make you want to come back. I have heard other Bikram teachers compared to Nazi generals. Absolutely no mercy, no matter if you are a beginner or not. I don't like that, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="FONT-STYLE: italic">hey to all of you Bikram instructors out there, take a break, breathe, not everyone can touch the floor with their palms the very first visit. </span></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102);font-family:'trebuchet ms';" >Overall Bikram works. It gets to be addictive and feels so good when you are finished. I have never ever seen any other practice put so many glowing complexions on svelte tight bodies in my life. Yoga is a path to self-awareness, it helps center your thoughts and quiet the mind. Plus if it tightens my ass I ain't complaining.

Plus all food waste was composted by local farms, food vendors used biodegradable utensils made from corn polymers, tree-free means all the paper products were 100% recycled including the toilet paper. Energy consumption was curbed by use of bio-diesel generators and solar power for the multi-stage electrical systems. It was a smashing success, again Sarah proved you can party, have a great time and reduce the impact to our planet. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); line-height: 15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); line-height: 15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Sarah is also a huge Burner.

I think I was in my early twenties when I was introduced to high quality essential oils. Imagine being raised on Jergens and Suave and thinking hey this is what lotion is supposed to smell like. It was during that phase in my life when I went on raw foods and began to really awaken and become more sensitive to what was going into my body. </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">That is when I started to search more natural options. In one of the raw food "support" groups in San Francisco that I attended the in house foodie guru was totally into these oils from Young Living. I never really ever saw the need for those little bottles filled with mysterious odoriferous substances before, but I tell you what coming off a 10 day juice fast boy did those little bottles rock my world! I thought I went to nirvana, the first time I inhaled pure Bulgarian Rose Oil, it went straight to my crown chakra or maybe it was my base chakra who is counting, but hot damn it made me feel real good all over. </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Then my new obsession began, I spent all my extra money on those darn oils. It was like crack, remember this was pre-Pinkberry or any other addictive berry for that matter, we had dingleberries but those were not that fun. Then a whole new world opened to me of herbs, extracts, exotic oils and from then on I only wanted the highest quality pure essential oils on or near my body. Young Living were great oils to work with, they served me very well in my apprenticeship phase. Young Living would make you believe that anything else was inferior, but I soon started thinking for myself and found that even better quality oils were out there to be discovered. </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Formulating new blends was my thing, and then naturally wanting to create massage oils, then body scrubs, then lotion then facial creams followed. So my advice to any newbie to the world of essential oils is to start with the basics like: Lavender, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Lemon and Sage. These are really versatile and easy to work with. Remember when creating a blend it needs to mature like a fine wine for at least one week before the real aroma sets. Lavender is the perennial favorite it should be in every medicine cabinet. It can be used for minor burns, sunburns, headaches and many more simple maladies. My all time favorite most versatile oil is Peppermint, I LOVE Peppermint. It is so fresh, clean and uplifting. I use it all the time. My favorite thing to do is to put 4-5 drops in my laundry water. My clothes come out smelling so fresh and clean. I always use the most natural and un-scented launder detergent I can find.</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">My most requested aromatic blend from my clients is a blend that captures the essence of a spa.

Yogurt offers a wealth of benefits to the skin, the fat in the milk is so nourishing. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Make sure you always use whole milk yogurt when using as a topical beauty treatment.</span> The whey in the yogurt is also full of lactic acid which is anti-aging and hydrating. I have a dear friend that uses this recipe everyday and she has just turned Sixty! She does not look a day older than 45 at the most. For best results this needs to become a beauty habit. Once or twice will not do much expect soften the skin.

I arrived at my class at WeCare Spa and had a slow turnout. I was watching the clock for more people to arrive. I was just about to leave, when this fresh faced young girl sat down at the table. She was so cute, her very soft English accent was charming. We starting talking and began to have a very pleasant conversation, no one else came to the class that week so I had some time to spend with the young women from Manchester, England.</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102);font-family:'trebuchet ms';" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)">I asked the young women her name, she replied my name is Agness.

She was very excited and said that Agyness Deyn was raving to her about our Blueberry Scrub, I was like Agyness who! (spelled with a y) Then I did a little googling and I was like...Holy Fluff she is huge. The next great supermodel is emerging gracing the covers of British Vogue and strutting for such brands as Armani, Burberry, Versace, Michael Kors etc. So off we sent our Blueberry Scrub to England and in the January Issue of the Tatler our Blueberry Scrub will be featured. </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)">Thanks Agyness it was fun getting to know you a bit.

With all the nasty chemicals in commercial "underarm" protection products it is no wonder people need alternatives. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Again since the skin is the largest organ of the body and absorbs 60-70% and especially since the underarm area is so close to the lymph glands it is important to go au natural.</span> </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">But unfortunately odor is a problem and must be dealt with. There are a couple of choices - an over the counter solution is the mineral stick style deodorants, they offer good protection but an easy kitchen remedy is simply taking a fresh sliced lemon and rubbing it on the underarm area. Please refrain from freshly shaved skin, could cause a nasty "bite" but other than that it works beautifully. </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Go GREEN!</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"> Does not require packaging, can grow the product easily in your backyard and fights odor all day long.

I have had numerous celebrities attend my skincare class.
