Perfume is on its way!

For those of you who love perfume and love vintage perfume. Our eighteenth century perfumes are on their way! Want to know how it smells to be a man or woman in the eighteenth century? History shows that perfume was sacred, used to express beauty in women, and used to give pleasant scents. In the eighteenth century perfumes began to become a luxury item and in the nineteenth century perfumery took a turn to express a more modern smell while attempting to synthesize natural fragrances. While more people are having sensitivities and allergic reactions as well as headaches towards chemical perfume, it's nice to have a natural perfume without causing the person next to us to suffer. It's okay to smell fantastic so we are going to give you fantastic smelling natural perfume from the eighteenth century!

This mask will help you maintain clear, smooth, and healthy skin. You can use this mask as a acne remedy.

"The Chemical Trap"

If you haven't had a chance to watch "The Chemical Trap", please feel free to. It is a very interesting documentary shot originally in German but we have translated it into English. The documentary reaffirms how dangerous plastic is and how it affects us and our bodies as well as our future generations. Scientist have made alarming observations: fish are feminizing, tadpoles do not develop into their final stage of a frog and more polar bears are becoming hermaphrodites. Because plastics are present every where even in the smallest form; whether in the soil, in the ocean, or as our utensils we use in our every day life. We have constant contact with plastic.

Alexander then says; "wait, one moment, I see a little more acid that usual. In the back of my mind I am thinking; acid, what acid?. I eat right, exercise, laugh, sweat, have low stress, work, and surround my self in nature as often as possible. What else am I possibly missing in my life?
