Vanilla is purported to get rid of odor & to increase harmony. *I have MANY other scents. If you don't see what you want, contact me & I will list it for you! *Warning* Some fragrance and essential oils may cause skin irritation. Keep away from eyes and mouth. Rinse with water in case of accidental contact and seek medical attention. If skin irritation occurs wash with soap and water, pat dry. If irritation continues, or is severe, seek medical attention. Not for internal use. Keep away from children. Oil may stain materials and surfaces. Follow manufacturers recommendations for burners. Never touch hot oil or their containers, they will burn. Do not burn unattended. *Pet Warning* The ASPCA states that cats are sensitive to the effects of essential oils. While it also says that most exposures occur when cats lap up heated liquid from the simmer pot, or when liquid spills on their fur from a leaky container, there are also some articles that suggest that concentrated essential oils can harm cats, both by inhalation and topical application. These articles state that the harmful level of essential oils in sprays and in burning oils is not really known. They suggest that when you are diffusing oils you should try not to use excessive amounts of essential oil, and that you choose oils which have lower volatility's. In addition, you need to ensure good air circulation especially during the diffusion process, so that local concentrations of essential oil vapor are not built up in non-air exchanged areas inhabited by the cat. Also, make sure that the cat can get to undiffused air at any time if possible, and only diffuse in an individual room if the cat does not have access to clean air. Toxicology studies show that the feline liver usually needs 48 hours to process and excrete 'terpenes', the substance that is harmful to them, so allow 48 hours between end of last diffusion and starting another to avoid repeated exposure by inhalation. As most of you probably know, humans become quickly used to the intensity of a beautiful aroma ("adaptation") and have the habit of 'freshening it up' and adding mor http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=440665 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:27:18 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=432813 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=432813"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/1131_product_843998925_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This massage oil is the perfect blend of organic oils.

It has a moisturizing effect, so it will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth, yet it simultaneously offers an astringent and toning quality. When you use this mask you will find that your face will not be oily, your pores will be unclogged, and that your skin will have a smooth, healthy glow. The mixture of ingredients in this mask are great for your skin. They "drink" the oils, toxic substances, and impurities from your skin and they tighten pores. The toning action stimulates the skin, bringing fresh blood to damaged skin cells, and revitalizing the complexion. There are several (up to 9) important mineral oxides in this recipe (magnesium, calcium, potassium, dolomite, silica, manganese, phosphorous, silicon, copper, and selenium). These minerals and other key ingredients are know to improve skin clarity and texture, while improving elasticity and firmness, as well as remove excess skin oils. This recipe is a balancer. It is not too astringent...it is just r i g h t! With the first application you will note a difference in your skin....just think what adding this to your skin care routine will do for you! This face mask comes in a 2oz (by volume), cobalt blue jar, and has enough mask for approximately 4-8 applications. It also comes with a pamphlet about mask ingredients. **This face mask comes plain, without fragrance. If you would like Orange essential oil added, please let me know in the "notes to seller" section of your order.** **As always, please read the warnings and disclaimers on the policy page at this link for important product information; http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=310292 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 19:33:08 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=305403 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=305403"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/1131_product_553399864_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This bath soak was named via a blog contest.

These properties make this blend an especially great choice for sensitive, dry, or maturing skin. Additionally, the mask will help to stimulate circulation while gently exfoliating and cleansing skin. You will be left with noticably softer and smoother skin after just one treatment. To maintain the benefits, this mask should be part of a regular beauty regimine, used once or twice a week. This is a Kaolin clay based recipe. This is very easy to use, simply place a small amount (approx. 1tsp. to 1/2 Tbs.) of the mixture onto your palm, or in a small dish and add enough distilled water, milk, or liquid soy to create consistency of paste. The thicker the layer of paste placed on the skin, the stronger the "pulling action" of the treatment will be. Begin with a faily thin layer (1 to 1 1/2tsp powder) and adjust as you see fit. Once the paste is made, spread it, with fingers, over the face and neck, avoiding the eyes. Relax for 15 minutes as the mask dries, then rinse with warm water, pat skin dry, and enjoy your clean, soft, soothed skin! **This mask is NOT Vegan** **This mask comes unscented OR with Bulgarian Rose essential oil, not only for its scent, but for its antiwrinkle, anti-puffiness, and skin conditioning properties. IF you would like the rose oil added, please make sure that you write that in the notes to seller area of the order page. Without a note, you will receive the unscented version of this mask! ************************************************************ This mask powder comes in a 2oz cobalt blue jar with a black domed lid, and contains enough for several applications. In order to preserve the shelf life, do not add the liquid to this jar, rather remove the amount of powder that you wish to use and add the liquid to only that amount. ************************************************ Please be sure to read http://www.etsy.com/shop_policy.php?user_id=5696666 for warnings, disclaimers, and basic information.

Cleopatra, herself was known to bathe in milk for its natural beauty enhancing properties, and perfume her body in lavender, both for scent and health. This bath mix is my tribute to Cleopatra and the days when castles stood, Kings reigned, and Queens ruled. The days when luxury was only for the Lords. Simply draw your bath with warm water. While the water is still running, add up to 1/2 cup (or 1 small bag) of the bath mix. Then slip in and soak in the luxury of it for 20 minutes. Get out and pat your skin dry, then moisturize as you normally do. You will feel the difference, you may even feel like a Queen yourself! The ingredients in this blend are rich in protein, vitamins and calcium. They are said to help to ease tension, sooth restlessness, relieve mental fatigue, clear the mind, revive, restore balance to body systems, and stimulate circulation. They will leave your skin feeling luxuriously smooth and highly moisturized. **This is a NON Vegan recipe.*** *This blend is for normal to dry skin. It is also available in a blend for normal to oily skin. If you want the normal to oily skin blend, please make a note during the purchase, otherwise you will receive the normal to dry skin blend. *The weigh listed is by volume. You can use up to 1/2 cup per bath, so this bag is good for one bath. I like to use a full 1/2 cup, but you can start by using 1/4 cup and see if you feel that is enough! *WARNING* This blend does not contain essential oils, however it does contain a small amount of dried rosemary. While rosemary is not recommended for use during pregnancy or if you have heavy menstrual periods, ingestion of small amounts used in cooking are considered safe, so I am left to wonder about soaking in a tub with a small amount. I cannot, however, say one way or the other, so I recommend speaking with your herbalist and your physician before using if you are in the family way or if you have heavy cycles. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=7586 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 12:55:43 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=7477 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=7477"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/1131_product_314792628_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This 4x6 framed verse and picture are on muslin with burnt edges and a coordinating pretty fabric background.

Your creme will come in a two ounce, cobalt blue jar that is shrin wrapped for your protection. This butter will melt in the heat.

My heel and elbow cream is made with all food grade quality ingredients. Each one was chosen for its healing and moisturizing properties. In the hot weather I use extra packing to ensure that your cream arrives in tact.

Dont worry, melting and re-setting will not affect the quality in any way. Cocoa butter is a natural moisturizer, a skin emollient.
