Look younger with Grapefruit

Grapefruit

Until the 19th century, grapefruit was grown purely as an ornamental fruit. Rarely eaten, it was known only for its looks - an interesting harbinger of its modern-day promise to improve ours.

A 2005 study by the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, in Chicago, showed that the scent of grapefruit on women made them seem an average of six years younger to men. Grapefruit's main use in skin care, however, is as a citric acid. Like any alpha hydroxy acid, citric acid loosens the bonds between skin cells, allowing dead ones to fall away, revealing smoother, more radiant skin.

You learn something new every day!

We'll today is Professional Assistant's Day. This morning I ran to the Flower Shop to pick up my orders for my Staff here at work. A variety of plants and flowers, as I had to be sure that each person got something befitting their personal likes and dislikes.


Didn't have a problem with a decision until I came to "my mother", who works for me. I wanted to get her "roses" as now that I have her in another office (and they would not bother my allergies) I had to make the decision on which rose arrangement to get. Then I had "4" simular ones lined up. . . finally made my decision. Took it to the office to give to Mom. . . she was excited first because they were "roses" , was quick to add that she loved the vase. Then Mom proceeded to share a story with me that in my 50+ years of knowing, living and working with this woman was the very first time that I heard it.



Mom started off "did you know that when I was a little girl, snap dragon's were my favorite flower". I confirmed that I did not know that, then she went onto say, that she didn't remember it either, but that Grandma had reminded her of it over and over again that last couple years that she was with us. I told her that Grandma must have been watching over me, and telling me to get the snap dragons because this was the only one of the 4 I was considering with the snap dragons.


I could not believe the smile on my mom's face when I told her that. Then reality set in, how am I going to top that for Mother's Day! Then my sister reminded me of the stories of my mom going to pick black raspberry's with Grandpa when she was a little girl. . . . .



Well I guess that I'll get my mom our Jordan Essentials Mother's Day Special which is personalized "MOM" and an arrangement of Snap dragons!

Dead Sea Glycerin Soap

Just last weekend I was at one of the local colleges for a Health fair. I took the normal products that sell well at the Health Fairs. . . things like our Shea Butter, Unscented Products, Lavender products. I was looking forward to see how our Jordan Dead Sea Bath Salts went over. I also throw in some of our Glycerin Soaps as there is always one or two people who are interested, expecially now that we have several more to choose from.

But I was shocked, when it turned out that our Dead Sea Glycerin Soap was one of my hottest selling items! Sold out of what I had and took orders for more

Here's what some of the other reps are saying about the Dead Sea Salt Soap I have a new favorite soap!

Since the Sea Spa Dead Sea Salt Glycerin Soap came out in this last launch, I have got a new favorite. This soap is wonderful, I have been using this everyday on my eczema on my leg and it really stops the itching and leaves my leg soft and smooth. I only use this on my legs, since that is my problem area. ~Brenda~

Me too!!! I am a die hard JE shower gel girl (I usually have at least 2 large shower gels at all times in the shower), but ever since this soap came in the new products kit I have been using it and it is soooooo wonderful. I am not about to trade in my shower gels for it, but think it is an amazing soap that really smoothes and cleans the skin. ~Diane ~

I love this soap too. So much so that I'm autoshipping it so I'll never be without!!! PJ

My hubby, ds, and neighbor are all loving this soap, too. They are so happy to have a 'bar' soap. Hubby has also found it relieves his eczema. ~Deanna~

Well, I'm a shower gel person, don't use bar soaps, so the next best thing for me to trying the products is testing it on Hubby . . . . .well I had to wait until he got done with the bar of soap that was in use before he could open this on up. Well this morning was the lucky morning for that "NEW STUFF"! Well to say the very least he was impressed and informed me that it was the "BEST STUFF", and that I need to be sure to keep some extra in the closet.

Why is Jordan's Dead Sea Salt so Special.

For years we've all heard the stories and references to the Dead Sea and the beneficial minerals that are contained there. The Jordan River flows gracefully into the Dead Sea where we find higher levels of magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium than in any other body of water.

Since ancient times millions of poople have come to the Dead Sea to enjoy the essential benefits of the minerals.

Well Jordan Essetnials came out with our Dead Sea Salt Blend for the bath, I thought I would give it a try. Being a shower person I was not so sure that I would like it, but I now look forward to a little time away in a relaxing bath or a foot soak. At Jordan Essentials we have blended the old world mineral benefits with new world technology by adding a unique silicone elastomer powder that reduces wrinkling and promotes superior skin texture.

Studies show silicone elastomers can mask wrinkles up to 84%, balance pH and give skin a smooth, silky and soft feel.

We've had our Dead Sea Salts in our line for a year now, and it's quickly becoming one of our best selling products in our 8 oz tub. This is great if you use it one or two times a week. But we found that many of our customers are using it with their entire family and others much more often then the twice a week. For those we've added a new 32 oz jar for only $35.00 it's a super bargin.



For years when I was growing up my Dad would come home from work and soak in "Epsom Salts" , my husband David, now enjoys a soak with our Dead Sea Salts to ease his acking muscles.

Try some today!

We all love to pamper our babies . . .

When I think back to when my youngest two sisters we newborns, and then my sisters kids when they were newborns, how we pampered them. slathering them in lotion or putting "Baby Oil" on a cotton ball and just rubbing them down.

While we still love to pamper our babies, we're each looking at it differently now. Now we know that Mineral Oil, now clogs our pores and prevents our skin from breathing and stops our skin from absorbing healthy ingredients..

Now that the next generation is on it's way, I have to wonder why we never thought about a baby sucking on their little fists and ingesting "petroleum".

Jordan Essentials has had a complete "Infant Line" for a couple of years, and our "Baby Collection Premier Set" is our best selling premier set.

This set is in the Powder Fresh Scent, and comes with a Lotion Bar, Body Silk, Hair and Body Wash, Starfish Bath Buddy, 4 oz Powder Fresh Baby Butter and Baby Soap Saver.

Everything that NEW Mother Needs.

Or even one for Grandma or Auntie for when they're taking their turn at spoiling that new bundle of joy.

This set is available for $47.50 which will save your $7.00 over purchasing each item individually.

As an extra touch, for $10.00 more and 3 extra days processing. You can add the "Babies Name" or "Family Name" to the label. My niece was so excited when she received the a set with "Dante" on the label. When she called to thank me for the gift she made the comment, now they won't mix our stuff up at the Day Care!

You can even purchase one of our NEW SCENT DIFFUSERS in the powder fresh scent for the babies room.

Our Baby Products can be found at www.jordanrep.com/3854 under "Country Bunny Baby"

Where or Where to Start?

That's the question that I asked myself this morning. I have so much information that I wanted to share about the new products and some of the new offerings that Jordan Essentials has that I was not sure where to begin.


We've always been told that "it's always best to just start at the begining", it applies to everything that we do, including taking care of our skin.


Jordan Essentials is now offering our "Starter Collection" it contains 20 oz salt scrub, 4 oz Satin Shea Body Butter Tube and a Lotion Bar.

The first step in "Pampering your skin" is to Exfoliate with the Salt Scrub, remove that dead skin for beautiful glossing sking. Just Exfoliate head to toe with our exclusive recipe of rich oils, salts and cleansers.

WOW - Wait till you see the Spring Products!

WOW! I've been with Jordan Essentials for sometime now, and have experienced two major product launches every year, but I have to say that yesterdays Spring Product Launch was the best.


I'll be taking the time to update my blog daily until I get all of our new products Introduced to you, introducing one per day.


Today's Pick is something that I've been looking forward to, and so have many of my customers.


One of our NEW Items is our NEW room diffuser. Notice the new square bottle - it's bottom heavy so it's a lot less likely to tip over. It's available in all of our signature fragrances - my personal favorite is the new scent of BLACK RASPBERRY VANILLA - the scent is so yummy you want to eat it!

The new design is wonderful, and will look great in any office, home, nursing home, dorm room or even hospital room. They are even great near the litter box or the dog bed. Our Powder Fresh scent is perfect for the Baby's Room. You can use these just about anywhere as there is no flame to worry about, think of them as a wickless candle. The smaller ones that we've been carrying have lasted over 4 months in my home and in the office, so I'm sure that this will last just as long if not longer.


Diffuser Tips:
~ Once a week flip the reeds over
~ If you're going away on vacation, take the reeds out and put the cap back on
~ Place near an air intake vent and the scent will be carried through the entire house

Self Care is Important for Stress Management

WOW, it's been an unbelievable couple of months for me, my Jordan Essentials Business is booming and my full time job has me working 6 days a week 10 to 12 hours a day. It's a great problem to have, but I've noticed that right now I'm in a constant state of STRESS!

Boy is STRESS exhausting.

Sometimes we each get so involved in day to day activities that you just completely forget about what is right in front of your nose.

I use our products daily, and I consider myself a shower person, especially since I'm up and at the office by 6:30 am.

Today, an article was shared with me on one of the forums that I belong to, and it was almost as if someone slapped me along side the head with a 2 x 4 . . . dah . . . A Break from Stress:Taking a break amidst a tub of warm bubbles I now know what I need. I just take some of our "Relaxing" Bubble Bath and take a nice relaxing bubble bath.
