Comfort and Relaxation never goes out of style, no matter the year.2020 was a fantastic year for Wisdom Body and Soul, even with this insane pandemic. While I obviously worked less in-person events, I did a lot of work organizing and improving my online store.
In addition, I rolled out membership packs that reward my long-time followers with an excellent blend of soaps, jewelry, eye pillows, and essential oils that leave them feeling ahh-mazing. Here are a few products that sold great in 2020, and I guarantee will be perfect in 2021! 1) Owlets Monthly Membership Box This has quickly become my signature item.

Many of my customers tell them that these pillows give them the best sleep they've ever had, which sounds like a great thing to enjoy during the madness of the world! 3) Gemstone Facial Massage Tool Those skin muscles need a little rubbing too, ya know! We don't usually pay attention to our face in terms of massages, but a good facial massage can reduce tension, encourage blood flow, and gently smooth away stress. This Gemstone Facial Massage Tool is a fantastic DIY way to rub yourself down in a way that will immediately put you at ease. Easy peezy, right?

How to deal with stress? Rub it all away.Soap is a great way to sooth your skin, but what about soothing that stressed-out mind? Try a Gua Sha Massage Tool!
But what exactly is Gua Sha, besides a funky-sounding word? According to Healthline, "Gua sha is a natural, alternative therapy that involves scraping your skin with a massage tool to improve your circulation. This ancient Chinese healing technique may offer a unique approach to better health, addressing issues like chronic pain." Better circulation means less stiffness in the body, which in turn can lead to more relaxation and a better life! 1) Facial Massage Wash face, use toner and apply oil to your face. Always use your tool flat or at a slight angle, never too hard and extremely gentle around the eye area. 2) Body Massage Perfect for easing sore muscles and tense areas. Pro tip put your stone in the freezer or fridge for body massage its amazing! 3) Neck Pain. Studies out there show that people who were massaged with Gua Sha felt less neck pain than the ones who weren't. I have a LOTTA neck pain and I can tell you that Gua Sha massage has always help massage my neck tension. Do you read this how-to and crave the comfort that a Gua Sha can provide? Then take time to check out and order the ones I have! $20 gets you better circulation and a happier life, which sounds like a bargain to me!  I don't know about you, but I am trying to RELAX this year.Life is always stressful, but it is best to turn the home into a place where you can block out all distractions and negativity. In my opinion, an amazing way to do that is with a steam facial!
If you have not done a steam facial, you really should! Steam facials are a great DIY way to hydrate your skin, refresh your sinuses and release any stress from your day. Want to try one yourself? Here are some extremely easy steps: 1. Wash your face 2. Grab a comfy large thick towel 3. Boil 2-3 cups of water, add 1-2 Tablespoon tea, cover and steep for 5 minutes. 4. Add to large heat proof bowl or place you pan somewhere heat safe. 5. Place on a very steady table/ counter somewhere you can sit for 10 minutes. 6. Remove cover, sit down near bowl, place thick large towel over your head and bowl make a tent. 7. Place your face at least 12-15 inches from bowl and close your eyes. Rest in your tent for 5-10 min. You can lift towel or take breaks if needed. 8. Once done refresh with cool toner and moisturize. 9. You can use cool tea in bath, hair rinse or water your plants. In case you are reading this blog and really like the idea of a steam facial, you are going to love that I'm introducing new steam facial teas in my care boxes next month! Check back on my website and stay tuned. If you don’t have time for a steam facial, I also enjoy a really warm soft washcloth.

If you order a bracelet and it's too big too small no worries just contact me here and I will restring no problem. Hair journey continued! There is a great debate about hair products out there… one being that the ph. of soap-based shampoo is too high and possibly damaging. My mom colors her hair and I wanted to make something a little more color friendly. I also have greys coming in. We shall see if I plan to color my hair in the near future. My goal as always is to find mild and naturally derived ingredients. Thus Shampoo #4, #5, #6 and #7 were born! These are made with very mellow naturally derived ingredients that will rinse well. I will tell you I still use soap-based shampoos and occasionally use these new ones. Not only to test them out but to help with soap build up. Soon I will get a nice removable shower head that will also help rinse all this thick hair. These are naturally “derived” ingredients. Not found in nature as they are human made from plants and if you are like me you are going to want to question anything that is not easily pronounced.  Here is a breakdown of the ingredients below found in my shampoo bar 4-7 if you have any questions please let me know! Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate- is ECOcert, gentle on sensitive skin, 100% natural surfactant and sulfate free, derived from coconut and palm oil. *this is the only item derived from palm you will find on my site. I do not agree with using palm in large quantities with all the controversy over the deforestation harvests. Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate - Sulfate free, 100% natural origin, green and biodegradable. Derived from coconut oil. Cocamidopropyl Betaine- Derived from coconut, sulfate free and gentle. Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Butylene Glycol and Cetyl Alcohol - Yes that did say "Sulfate" but it's nothing like you see in most products this is an "quaternary ammonium salt derived from the natural plant oil colza" (canola/ rapeseed), conditioning, great for detangling, smooth feel, fatty alcohol, glycol solvent and environmentally friendly." Panthenol- is provitamin B5, not derived from animals, no animal byproducts and is cruelty free. Glyceryl Monocaprylate and glyceryl monoundecylenate- EcoCert natural preservative, made from coconut oil, and paraben free.  If you do color your hair, I would recommend Shampoo #4- #7. Although some can still use soap-based shampoo on colored hair. Haircare is a journey and each their own.

Don't you want one less thing to worry about?Shopping should be included in that. Sure, there will always be this or that to run to the grocery store and buy, but what if soap wasn't included on that list. Better yet, what if it was high-quality soap that was made with the finest ingredients and best scents?
Here are some great reasons to have a soap subscription: 1. It's a great excuse to try new things! I don't mean to push, but I got to ask: how often do you try some brand-new soap when shopping at the store? If you don't, that makes sense. You're probably sticking with what you usually like. The great thing about a soap subscription is that because somebody else is picking the products, it allows you to try bars you'd never know to pick. I had a member who told me that Sweet Grass Soap would've been the last thing she ordered, but then I put one in her Soap of the Month club subscription, and now she can't get enough of it! 2. You don't have to shop for soap at the store. If you hate grocery shopping, you're not alone! So why not make it just a tad shorter and cut the trip to the soap aisle to shop for bars! Shipping soap brings the convenience to your doorstep or mailbox. Even better, you don't have to shuffle in the crowded lanes of a store. 3. Sometimes, you get a nice surprise too! I am so excited to share with you the latest gifts and fun items at Wisdom Body and Soul! There is nothing better than surprises! Treat yourself to gifts of relaxation and new items you didn't know your couldn't live without! That's not the only time that I send them a cute and fun gift! I always like to pack in an extra surprises with my collection subscriptions. Or maybe I'll give them a soap holder so their bars don't melt in the shower. A little appreciation for all subscribers goes a long way, and they'd agree with that.
