Setting: A Breakfast Restaurant. Two women chatting. One in White Linen. One in Paisley. You are alone in a neighbouring booth, having forgotten your ear phones. You cannot help but overhear their chatter. White Linen: "Soooooo good to see you.  It has been years. How are you ….?" You digest several minutes of catch–up. Paisley changes the subject and your ears perk up. Paisley: “You look marvelous, BTW. Tell me your secret to looking so young. What brand are you using on your skin? Estee? Shisheido? L’Oreal? Or maybe Nivea?…

Did you ever wonder why you burst into song while in the shower?  Could be a shower, or a waterfall. Similar concept. Here’s why we sing. It is comforting to step into a relatively secure, comfy space and be able to shut out the world. Naked and safely enclosed in the bathroom, alone, unencumbered.  The perfect setting to burst into song.  The warm shower water has a rhythm of its own. It feels wonderfully relaxing as it cleanses the stresses away.  It makes you feel good and singing makes you feel even better.  No one…

Time for A Skin Care Change? Have you been thinking about changing your skin care routine?  Are you starting to realize that maybe, just maybe the creams and lotions and soaps you have been using might not be the most desirable for your skin? Doctors and dermatologists are doing their very best to help us but since they themselves are inundated with the latest and the best, I am sure it is an overwhelming situation. Companies change their recipes.  You may have experienced a change in a product that you used to love, but now it just does not feel the same. Take 'Burt’s…

A testimonial from Lynne, BC “Our 90-year-old mom had chemotherapy 3 years ago and developed numbness in her fingers.She began using your Soothing Oil every night and has now regained feeling in her fingers.

Moisturizing your dry itchy skin should be a delightful experience.  It usually is not.  You may have some temporary relief from the prescribed cream, but the issue does not go away.  You have decided cortisone may NOT be the best option, but you are desperate and do not know where to turn or what to do.

All you have to do is be chemical free and you can feel the difference after even one shower or bath. It may not always be perfect for we know climate…

Wear an apple.  Don't just eat it. 'Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread'.   Many of us know the version of this original Pembrokeshire (a county southwest Wales) proverb as ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’.  An apple is truly a fruit to be respected.  But it is not only for consumption.  In natural skin care, ‘wearing’ an apple is wise. Treat your skin to the juice and or pulp of an organic apple.  An Earth to Body testimonial on an apple: “I love your emu neem soap.  I…

I’ve always been pretty lucky with my skin. I didn’t really have acne growing up, dry or tightness or oily t-zone. Over the years however I have always taken good care of my skin. When my parents started Earth to Body and I got my hands on the Pure Emu Oil not only did my skin look amazing but felt fantastic. I have no wrinkles (I’m 38) but I felt my skin was looking nicer and more rejuvenated as the years went by. People always ask me what I use and it’s always been the Emu Oil. Only after I gave birth to my son did I notice a change in my skin. To anyone that has gone through such a…
