Change of Season Means Changes in Skin Care

Do you feel the summer coming to an end where you live? Here in Florida it's not by the temperature changing, well maybe 99 to 89 :), but it's our kids starting their school year. Summer vacation is over. Hope you remembered to apply sunscreen daily, especially those beach and pool days. Now is when the tan fades and you notice just what summer has done to your skin, weather it's over exposure to sun, and/or the pool chlorine. 
It's time to reevaluate your skin care. Change of season means change for your skin as well. We look to correct and care. So here are our tips:

Exfoliate: Using a gentle sugar scrub is key for correction and care. You are exfoliating dead dry skin, rejuvenating the skin, bringing your beautiful glowing skin back.

Eye care: Maybe we didn't get enough sleep on vacation, squinting while playing in the beach, needed to hydrate more than we did. Correct and care with eye serum that allows for cellular repair and hydration.

Hydrate: Correct the summer dry skin, and continue to care by smoothing on ultra hydration for the cooler months ahead. I would recommend a body butter, and the best time to apply is right after showering.

Have you tried Scentsational Soaps new facial skin care line? The benefits of the key ingredient Neroli Essential Oil are amazing, and the scent will make you feel like you're still on summer vacation.
Benefits: increases circulation and stimulates new cell growth. Any type of skin can benefit from this oil, although it is particularly good for dry, sensitive, or irritated skin. It regulates oiliness and minimizes enlarged pores.
 
Don't 'fall' into bad habits, start the season off right, correct and care for your skin.

November is National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month

November is National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month. "Alzheimer's disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States", states alz.org, Alzheimer's Association. "More than 5 million are living with the disease." 
As mentioned in a previous blog regarding the calming aid of lemon drop royal jelly, our dear 80 yr old mother has been diagnosed with this awful disease, and has had Alzheimer's disease for many years now.  It is so difficult to see your loved one, and oh how much we do love our momma, go through the declining stages of Alzheimer's, to watch them drift further away right before your eyes. "As Alzheimer's advances through the brain it leads to increasingly severe symptoms, including disorientation, mood and behavior changes; deepening confusion about events, time and place; unfounded suspicions about family, friends and professional caregivers; more serious memory loss and behavior changes; and difficulty speaking, swallowing and walking." Through our own observation, mom is at stage 6 in the 7 stages of Alzheimer's laid out on alz.org.  We have learned, through this experience and with the help of our local Alzheimer's Association support, the mom and daughter relationship we once knew and understood has now changed. She is still our mom, but we miss our mommy. My siblings and I smile when we get glimpses of  our mommy when she sings the words to a familiar song, as she dances to the music, when she 'remembers' to say her endearing expressions we grew up hearing from her, "say your prayers before bed" or "this too shall pass". Our mom is at the stage where some words come out random, where she doesn't have a 'filter',thus will say and do things she would have never before. She gets very confused when out of the comfort of her daily surroundings, her routine. Yet she wants to go, "let's go get your shoes on". We take her for outings, lunch, ice cream, a day with the grand and great grand kids, while she struggling with the sense of being lost, until home again. Once home, her repetition begins "Let's go, get your shoes, I'm hungry". We are learning to recognize the cues to how she is feeling, again our local support from Alzheimer's Assoc explains that this is how our loved ones will communicate, through facial expressions, body language, and that our body language speaks to them more than words, also responding to the tone of your voice. We are learning. 
This is of course just a small piece of our experience, in hopes that you may be moved to learn more about Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's Association website alz.org is really the source of awareness for this disease, please take the time to check it out. Learn the 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer's in yourself or someone you know. Become aware, because with early detection, you can: get the maximum benefit from available treatments, have more time to plan for the future; decisions about care, transportation, living options, financial and legal matters. Also on alz.org you will find support for caregivers.

Let your skin feel the difference while making a difference:
We would like to make a donation in your behalf. For the month of November you will receive 10% off ANY Honey Bee Naturals Lavender Honey purchase. We will make a donation in the amount equal to your savings to Alzheimer's Association for the further research to end Alzheimer's while enhancing care for those living with the disease.

Personal Note:
If you go to About Us on our website you will learn, many of you already know, that this company started as a hands on project between Sarah, Scentsational Soaps owner/founder, and her son Chad, who has DUP15q. You come to the correct understanding that Sarah is a caring mother and person, as well as patient and kind.
It thus was our father's dying wish that our mother would live with Sarah, her husband, and Chad. Sarah and her equally kind, patient, giving husband, reassured our dad of this before his death. She is taken care of beautifully in their home, it warms my heart. We, her siblings help in anyway we can.
 My sister has a heart of gold! And you receive a portion of that 'gold' in each purchase. She is caring for her son, & now our mother too, with love. And she mixes the fine ingredients, makes each of Scentsational Soaps products with love. Made with Love, as it states on each product.
 I, as writer of this particular blog, would like to thank you, the reader, for your choice of Scentsational Soaps.
