			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a quick note to let you know that I&#8217;ve been spending a lot of time working on the new Skincare Naturals site (which will be replacing the present <a title="Handmade Soap Making Ingredients" href="http://www.handmadesoap.ca" target="_blank">http://www.handmadesoap.ca</a>) and I&#8217;m expecting to have it ready to go live within the next week or two.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a big job since I didn&#8217;t use a traditional shopping cart, I wanted to maintain the flow of the website theme and frankly, had no idea what I was in for when I chose the shopping cart!</p>
<p>In case you have been having problems with my email address, I found the problem and it has been fixed as well.</p>
<p>I will be adding new in stock items, new bulk sizes, a sales page as well as building an article, recipe/how to, and resources data base, updating SKiN Tips and SKN News as well as working on new &#8216;how to&#8217; eguides &#8211; the <a title="How to Make Body Butter download" href="http://www.handmadesoap.ca/making_body_butters_download_info.html" target="_blank">How to Make Body Butter eguide</a> has been very well received and the <a title="Homemade Christmas How To" href="http://skincarenaturals.com/natural-skin-care-blog/127/make-it-yourself-gift-ideas/" target="_blank">Make It Special eguide</a> has been very popular during the pre Christmas season.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m really looking forward to the upcoming season and updating you as I play with some of the new items coming up.</p>
<p>If you have any suggestions for ingredients, products or features that you&#8217;d like to see on the new site or blog, please let me know &#8211; your input really helps me to provide exactly what YOU are looking for.</p>
<p>Have a Happy Thanksgiving!</p>
<p>Jan</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m pulling out my favourite homemade shampoo bar recipe again and thought you might also want to try it. I usually make it in the crockpot although I may try it in the oven this time &#8211; I LOVE making soap in my crockpot but the bars do come out nicer in the oven &#8211; hmmm. Decisions, decisions!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been using &#8217;store bought&#8217; shampoo for awhile again and once more am getting appalled at the mountain of bottles we are collecting and the chemicals etc that are streaming through my hair and scalp and over my body as I rinse.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the recipe&#8230;</p>
<p><a title="Crockpot Shampoo Bar Recipe" href="http://www.skincarenaturals.com/recipes/crockpot-shampoo-bar-recipe.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.skincarenaturals.com/recipes/crockpot-shampoo-bar-recipe.shtml</a></p>
<p>If you try it, I&#8217;d love to hear how it goes and if you did any tweaks.</p>

<p>I came across this article that I thought was really interesting. It has good info on some nutritional points that may not be exactly common knowledge, but I also like the information on how some of the organs in your body helps to maintain and build nice skin &#8211; and how we can support those organs.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve noticed myself since making my diet a bigger priority that my skin has improved. My biggest discovery has been green smoothies.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll post more information about those coming up. (I went on a raw/green smoothie challenge for a week once when my daughter was away. When she came back she said my skin looked like water. I didn&#8217;t even ask!. That sold me! &#8211; my largest skin care problems are large pores and a ruddy complexion.)</p>
<p>My current challenge is to spend more time in the kitchen making &#8216;real food&#8217; and to cut the crap out of the cupboards (again). (if  you want more info on that or if you&#8217;d like to get to know me better, you can check out my &#8216;at home&#8217; blog and my health journey blog where I will have more indepth info about these things &#8211; <a title="Home Organization - Living Clean" href="http://www.queenofkaos.com/home/" target="_blank">My Home Blog</a> and <a title="Healthy Habits Blog" href="http://queenofkaos.com/SIZZLIN-blog" target="_blank">Healthy Habits Blog</a>.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the link to the article if you&#8217;d like to have a look. You need to scroll down a bit to get Dr. Mercola&#8217;s comments and the additional information.</p>
<p><a title="Natural Skin Care from the Inside Out" href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/03/Newly-Discovered-Role-of-Vitamin-C-in-Skin-Protection.aspx" target="_blank">Healthy Skin Care Nutrition</a></p>
<p>While there are plenty of things that you can do to on the outside, getting in the habit to care for your skin and to keep it healthy from the inside is always a good idea &#8211; and a great place to start when brainstorming your next natural skin care creation.</p>
<p>If you need some help, the <a title="How to Make Natural Soap for Healthy Skin" href="http://www.handmadesoap.ca/soapnaturallybook.html" target="_blank">Soap Naturally book</a> and my <a title="Make Your Own Body Butters for Healthy Glowing Skin" href="http://www.handmadesoap.ca/making_body_butters_download_info.html" target="_blank">How to Make Body Butter</a> eguide are a great place to start.</p>
