Just relaxing with the Desperate Housewives after a very busy weekend. Last night we had the school’s auction fundraiser. While there were many great things there’s always that last minute rush at the end of the silent auction so we only “won” couple of things. One of the winnings was the class art from my son’s kindergarten class. It’s actually pretty cute but it makes me laugh everytime I look at it. It’s comprised of a bunch of 2×2 squares that each child used to draw his/her self-portrait. Among all of the stick figures and cute funny-shaped people is one that looks like a brown snowman with a brown top hat. Yep – that’s my son’s drawing. Turns out that if you look at it closely you can see the stick figure but at first glance it’s definitely snowman-esque. But it will keep me smiling .

We realize that times are very tough out there in this wild world we’re living in.

I am often asked if Garden Girl has anything for lips. I have searched around for a product that would be a good match for Garden Girl. The trouble is, most seemed to have “oxybenzone” in them for sun protection. Skin Deep’s Cosmetics Database has raised some serious concern about oxybenzone (found in many many sunscreens) and I really don’t want to have it on my LIPS. So I searched for something that I could create myself. And I am excited to say that I have found it!

Which leads me to this week’s One Day Sale – EVERY order (no minimum order) will receive FREE brand new, all natural Garden Girl Berry Silky lip balm.

Pretty cool, eh? This lip balm is smooth, silky and extremely hydrating. It is natural, and free of preservatives and chemicals. A combination of rich moisturizing oils plus beeswax smooth and protect your lips with a light, delicious scent of berries from a phthalate-free flavor oil.

Check the lip balm out for FREE with your order. Orders of $50 or more will receive 2 free lip balms!

To take advantage, simply go to www.gardengirlskincare.com and place an order. In the comments section write Free Lip Balm Please.

These lip balms have not yet been uploaded to our website so this is your sneak peek!

Let me know what you think of it – and have a great week!

Winter is a tough time for skin. Well actually, any type of weather can be harsh on skin, but winter has some “special” issues. That is why during this time of year it is especially important to exfoliate. It rids your skin of dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and reveals a fresh face that is brighter, incredibly smooth and younger looking.

So this week’s One Day Sale is all about a fresher, younger face. We are offering a whopping $10.00 off our face exfoliators.

Choose from:

Break Free – this is dermatologist-grade product, and it is our most powerful exfoliant. As opposed to a physical “scrub” type of exfoliation, Break Free relies on 3 incredibly effective fruit acids – lactic, pyruvic and gylcolc – to lift and remove the dead skin cells. While it is especially good for acne/problem skin, it is excellent for any skin type except sensitive.

Starting Over – this is our original exfoliator and still an incredibly popular product. Using natural microcrystals – the very same ones used by the expensive microderm procedures at dermatologists – this creamy scrub removes dead skin and reduces fine lines and wrinkles and leaves skin moisturized.

Either Break Free or Starting Over will leave your skin looking incredibly smooth and feeling unbelievably soft. If you have never tried them, this is a great time to try them. If you have tried them, it’s a great time to stock up!

And as always, both products are free of parabens, sulfates, petroleum products and phthalates.

To take advantage, simply go to:

www.gardengirlskincare.com/facecare

and order at least one of these two products to receive the discount. You will save $10 for each of Break Free and Starting Over that you order.

Then when checking out, use coupon code:

This week’s one day sale is a doozy! I love it when I give away free products – it’s fun! And this week I’m giving away one of our products that has developed quite a cult-ish following of dedicated customers. So check it out – and remember, the offer expires at midnight on Monday.

This week, when you buy any 2 face products (see list below) – you will get a FREE Even Ste(pH)en toner! People always ask – “do I really need a toner?” – and my answer is always the same. Do you need it? No. Just like you don’t need to wash your face and you don’t need to put on moisturizer. But the simple fact is that toner, just like face wash and moisturizer, helps your skin stay in tip-top shape, look its best and keep its youthful glow. Even Ste(pH)en is one of the most effective toners you will find – with the highest quality ingredients. It’s packed with herbal extracts and witch hazel that help to balance your skin’s pH and clear your pores of any last residue from your cleanser. Plus, Even Ste(pH)en doesn’t dry out your skin, and leaves it fresh and maximized to allow your moisturizer to work at it’s peak level. Bonus? Our toner is also loaded with DMAE – a natural skin-firming ingredient. And of course, as with all Garden Girl products, it’s free of parabens, sulfates, petroleum products and phthalates.

Even Ste(pH)en has gained such a strong following because many people have found it to be a key player in keeping their skin clear and free of break-outs. We have a number of people who have stopped using “botanically based” acne programs that have harsh ingredients and instead opted for You’re Fresh, Even Ste(pHen), Break Free and Nature Nurture or No Worries. And they say their skin has never been better!

Here’s a recent review of Garden Girl products on the Bionic Beauty blog: http://bionic-beauty.com/garden-girl-skincare-reviewed/ – check out what she had to say about the toner!

So whether you are already a loyal fan or you have never tried it – this is a great deal. A FREE Even Ste(pH)en toner when you buy any TWO of the following (yes – you can buy 2 of the same thing):

You’re Fresh
At Long Last
Oasis for Faces
Like Magic
Eye Can’t Believe It
Break Free
Starting Over
No Worries
Nature Nurture
Bright Idea

To take advantage – simply go to http://www.gardengirlskincare.com/, add 2 or more of the products listed above, and then when you check out write FREE TONER PLEASE in the comments section.

And if you are already a big fan – if you can take a minute to post a response here and let us know why you like it, it would be fantastic! And if I get 5 or more responses, I will choose one at random to receive another free bottle!

Have a great week! I was going to say Go Cardinals! but now I just realized that if the Steelers get this touchdown I win the office pool so GO STEELERS!

This week’s One Day Sale is pretty basic and straightforward – FREE SHIPPING! Enjoy guilt-free shopping knowing that you won’t be paying extra for shipping. Whether it’s time to replenish your favorite Garden Girl products, or try out some new ones. Or you could even get a head start on calorie-free Valentine’s day treats like Smooches or Hugs body butters! But don’t forget – this offer is valid through MIDNIGHT MONDAY NIGHT so get your shopping done before the offer expires!
