Nurture My Body Exfoliating Cleanser




What a cute package! Wrapped up in gold tissue (neatly folded) and secured with a printed gold seal hiding a botanical sprig. I wasn't even sure what was inside but I was sure it would be fabulous. I guess first impressions count even when we order something through the mail. Ha, ha, ha.




In this case the enclosed goodie is a jar of Exfoliating Cleanser. Being the beauty professional, I look through the enclosed materials: an uplifting verse printed on nice vellum, a printed info sheet, a business card, and a small hand-written note. I might add that everything was tucked neatly in a lavender drawstring bag. It all felt so special.


From the literature I learned that Nurture My Body products are made with certified organic ingredients, with no chemical preservatives, and no animal testing. And yes, the packaging is eco-friendly.



So, I tried the sample of Exfoliating Cleanser. The directions indicate to use it 2-3 times a week. I'm to apply the cleanser evenly over the face and use a circular motion before rinsing. And so I did. The cleanser left my skin soft and refreshed. It sloughed away the layer of winter dry skin and softened the skin quite a bit.




I have fairly sensitive skin and this worked very well. It gets a thumbs-up from me.

Vontries Couture Bath & Body


I had the occasion while working on a story some time ago to cross paths with Pat at www.VontriesAromas.com and am pleased to share a bit of firsthand feedback on the delicious products she makes.

We tried the Sweet Aswan Pear bar soap. Our bar is a lovely cocoa and green color. My husband found the scent to be very unisex, quite unlike the scents I usually choose. The lather is luscious and plentiful. It left our skin feeling soft and moisturized.

I'm impressed. The bars came wrapped up beautifully with twine, nestled on wooden soap dishes.
