At-home manicures must have...

Many of you know who live in the Raleigh NC vecinity have probably seen us take my show on the road and demonstrate our products to customers interested in testing them before buying...our most popular demonstration is our body scrub which we demonstrate on the hands, followed with body lotion. Our customers love it, not only because they get to try our product before buying it, but also the way their hands feel when they are done with the treatment. It is not unusual to hear OOOOHHH WOOOOWWW...my hands have never felt his great! -- which is our greatets satisfaction. Although our scrub is wonderful for the entire body many customers that work with their hands or wash their hands often buy it to use solely as a hand treatment.

Today going through my usual morning ritual of seeing what's new in the natural beauty world, I found a "Real Simple" article that reccomended some products as the home manicure must haves... We have copied thier list and incoporated our products, we are certain that thsi combination will keep your hands beautiful throught the cold winter days... enjoy!
