ONLY PAPAYA BODY MOISTURISER/AROMATHERAPY BLOG

I recently tried  an amazing new body moisturiser called ONLY PAPAYA.This is very luxurious,feels beautiful on the skin,& smells intoxicating.(a strong floral fragrance).Even my 12yo daughter is using it all over her dry legs & arms & although it is labeled a body moisturiser ive also used it on my face & it`s lovely.
There is a range of other only papaya products which look & sound good enough to eat!
If anyone else has tried any of these products,let me know what you think.

 Speaking of AROMATHERAPY,winter is a great time to incorporate using essential oils in your life.
 Use essential oils in the vaporisers at night while heaters & fires are on,kids love the smells too,it adds beauty to your home.
 A beautiful,calming ,feelgood blend is lavender & mandarin.I put it on just before the kids walk in the door after school on the days that im home as well, & then i cook dinner so there`s fragrance from all rooms of the house!I also use lavender E/O in my son`s bath as it is antibacterial,antiseptic,antinflammatory,calming,relaxing&balancing.
I would love your feedback,product recommendations, skin questions etc.

luxe body treatment-vichy shower

A great way to treat yourself midwinter is with a luxe body treatment that will totally transform  your skin & give you some chill-out time as well.
This is acheived with a full body exfoliation with mineral salts & warm mud applied all over the body then you lie back & relax with infra red sauna,then the vichy shower with its jets of water flowing up & down the body while you are cocooned in warmth with lovely background music.Your skin glows afterwards as this is the best way to exfoliate-having a trained therapist do it for you.The results are amazing,so if you want to try it head in to the retreat day spa @ the promenade coffs harbour,for a winter warmer,vichy shower treatment.
This is a great place for a girls day as there is a spa where all your friends can wait for you to finish then have their turn all the while sipping champaigne in the spa area.This is soo relaxing & rejuvenating&  really fun to do with friends.All the ingredients used are of the highest quality essential oils,australian muds,& australian & himalayan salts.
ps: champaigne isnt provided- you do have to take your own!

I have just confirmed my interest in a fabulous nail polish range from london,which I happened to find in the shopping mecca of coffs harbour.I have read about the range in magazines,I saw it on my recent trip to france & its im sure its probably widely available in Australia.The range contains no formadehyde,toluene,or pthalates & has a decent range of colours.Essentil health in coffs harbour carries the range.Its fantastic to know these beauty products are available if your trying to cut down on your use of chemicals,especially  chemicals on the skin& body.

DIY beauty treatment for hands

Our hands take a bit of a beating as they`re always exposed to the elements,water & continual use.
Some people are born with naturally smooth looking skin on their hands, long elegant fingers &  a healthy nail bed. Some like myself were born with very dry hands, crooked fingers & not so elegant nail beds.But thats ok,there are treatments that work really well on everybody`s hands to re-hydrate  & exfoliate,soften cuticles & revive the overall look & texture of the hands.For those who are fortunate enough to have fabulous looking hands,this treatment is still for you as it will help keep them that way & they will stay looking   fabulous into  eternity

                BROWN SUGAR SCRUB

                Mix brown sugar into olive oil & massage/scrub into the hands,fingers & over each individual
                cuticle.Massage over backs of hands really well up to wrists.
                 Rinse off in warm water,place a pair of kitchen gloves on your hands & wash up dishes in really
                 hot water.This helps the olive oil residue to absorb into the skin giving a deep oil treatment.
                 After you remove gloves,moisturise entire hands in a really good quality,heavy duty hand cream
                 or balm.If you are so inclined,at this point you could very gently push back cuticles with
                 an orange stick then  massage your cream into each cuticle.

    I would love any feedback or questions regarding  any aspects of skincare,beauty therapy,aromatherapy,or the beauty industry at large. Thankyou.
