In order to be one of the 10 finalists I have to generate the most votes. Please take time to go and vote for me and share here. No registration is required it is a Facebook page.

My Why

Those who know me know that I am passionate about helping others. I do this through blogging here and on my other blog "It's Your Life." I started a digital magazine by the same name in April 2015 which is based on natural living along with a weekly podcast. This allows me to be able to educate others on how to live a healthy, happy life.

Heavenly Bodies Mission

My mission for Heavenly Bodies is to learn all I can about creating organic skin care. I have researched everything I know about to this point, but there is so much to learn. Bottom line my mission is to create unique, quality organic skin care. Make them available to everyone through the online store, hotels, and spas. The most important thing to me is to make them affordable to everyone. It is for that reason that I have trial sizes available for the line of products.

The Future

Heavenly Bodies future consists of my products being available to everyone via the online store, spas and hotels. There will also be a chain of Health & Wellness Spas which will use the products and some of them available for purchase. The spas will over all be based on natural living, organic food and drinks, speakers, workshops, classes, and much more.

Because I will always remember where I started and appreciate this opportunity for a free scholarship the following will also be incorporated. Once a month all the spas will offer those with financial hardships to attend the spa for a day at no cost to them. There will be a children's camp twice a year with scholarships available to those unable to cover the costs. These camps will not only focus on teaching the children how to live naturally, but also loads of fun.

Plead

Kombucha for Healthy Skin?

Kombucha for healthy skin? Really? I started brewing kombucha again and want to sell it at the farmer's market with the skin care products. Then I thought about our banner "Heavenly Bodies Organic Skin Care." Well, I figured if I could find out that kombucha was good for the skin it wouldn't be a problem to incorporate into the Heavenly Bodies line. You will never believe what I uncovered.

Aids With Acne

I came across multiple bloggers who stated that their acne cleared up while drinking kombucha on a daily basis. It makes sense considering that our skin is one way the body detoxes and lets us know that there is something wrong. What is it? The gut bacteria is off, kombucha is a probiotic which means it aids in replenishing our good gut bacteria which for most of needs to tended to and we usually neglect.

Benefits of Kombucha Externally

Using kombucha externally on the skin also has benefits. Just put aside some unflavored kombucha and let it really ferment about 14 days. You can put right on to your face as a toner it has been shown to aid with the following. You can also click here for a recipe to create a toner with kombucha.

Reduce redness
Reduce wrinkles and fine lines
Reduce dry skin
Reduce uneven skin tone
Reduce pores
Reduce dark circles
Reduce puffiness around the eyes
Reduce varicose veins
Increase collagen
Increase oxygen
Increase protein production
Increase cell regeneration

Scoby Facial Mask

You know all those SCOBYs that come with brewing your own kombucha? Well, they are great to use as a face mask, those who have used it state softer, glowing skin. It is believed that the SCOBY aids in the circulation of the skin which aids in regenerating skin cells. The SCOBY also is said to act like a natural acid pull due to its PH and aids in shedding dead skin cells. Some who used this mask stated that they were concerned how they would smell afterwards, but said it absorbed into their skin so fast there was no negative smell afterward.

Warning: Some have reported that there was redness after using the SCOBY facial mask, but stated it did not last long.

SCOBY Band Aids

Sounds kind of funny to use a SCOBY which is bacteria and yeast as a band aid doesn't it? The fact is that the PH aids to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. As mentioned above it aids in increased skin cell regeneration along with tissue. I found various testimonies stating they used a piece of a SCOBY on a wound, cut, burn, or even an insect bite. For burns, cuts, and wounds cut off a piece of the SCOBY the size of the wound and put some gauze over it with tape to hold it in place.

Warning: Stinging has been reported.

Storing SCOBYs

From everything I read seems SCOBYs used for these purposes can be kept. Just be sure to keep them in a separate jar and label it.

Organic Skin Care Product

After learning about the benefits of Kombucha for the skin I started to incorporate it into some of my formulations. Check out the Heavenly Bodies Eye & Face Cream, Versatile and Soothe & Cleanse which contain Kombucha.
