Until next time…

Many of you probably know how much I LOVE Prity NYC polishes. My favorite colors? Devil’s Backbone, Constant Nymph and THE BEST RED ever, for a lover-of-all-things-red gal like me? Queen of the Night Tulip. This color is spot on and absolutely perfect for the holiday season.

Prity NYC is phthalate, toulene and formaldehyde free, making it perfect for pregnant mamas and discerning beauty divas. We want the best and guess what? We can have it! Easy Breezy.

Merry Merry!

Until next time…

Please come. It’s the perfect mid week holiday soiree… great space and ambience, smart and sociable guests, lots of fun chatter AND some bubbly. Come sip with me…

Until next time…

I dont know about you guys but ever since I was a kid, I was always troubled by my NYC streets post holiday. Littered with dead trees just tossed on the curb and abandoned without a thought made me so very sad. Definitely there was  little understanding or desire to grasp the big picture.

The big picture? We kill trees every year for a fleeting sense of gratification. As Scotty Claus says “It seems wrong that a tree that symbolized hope, joy and new life could be so easily abandoned.”

Perhaps long ago with less people populating our planet dead trees for Christmas could be justified as do-able. I completely disagreed then and I especially do now at this stage of the game, with our planet in peril and lacking rich and healthful resources to sustain us.

Enter The Living Christmas Company. I LOVE them so much and am grateful for the service they are providing and for the message that service communicates.

The Living Christmas Company delivers and picks up from your home or office, gorgeous trees like Turkish Fir, Monterey Pine, Aleppo Pine, Blue Cedar and Giant Sequoia. The only downside? The Living Christmas Company is not all over the U.S. yet (bummer) so only folks in designated Southern California zones can benefit from having one of their beauties this season. But I am not giving up hope that soon enough Scotty Claus will be delivering living trees all over the nation.

To order your tree, hurry up! They are running out fast BUT because you are reading this blog and I am hanging tight with Scotty Claus, supporting his biz every year by having a tree in my Los Angeles salon Get Waxed, he has been so generous and is offering my clients 15% off any tree by entering the promo code ‘getwaxed’ at checkout. So get on it! Support Life this Christmas. There’s enough destruction in this world and guess what? You don’t have to be a part of it! YAY!

Untli Next time…

I don’t know how many of you own your business but let me tell you now, with the grind comes specific “to do’s” to do in order to make the business successful. In the competitive beauty biz, if you want people to know about your products and offerings (and why wouldn’t you?) you better keep talking, offering, advising, giving and creating and hopefully whoever is on the receiving end is telling their friends who tell their friends and so on…

Until we relaunch, the best vehicles for Elique to communicate what’s in the works are Facebook, Twitter and this blog. There is so much happening! The farm, trunk shows, classes/events, demos and exclusive treatments and services are all on the calendar for early 2012 as well as Skin Care to Go in NYC… you can’t miss out!

And as you may want what I have, I definitely need what you have. You are at Elique’s core and have been on this ride with me for a long time. I could definitely use your help to spread the word about our relaunch! You already like us so why not tell a friend or two to check us out also? It takes a village right?

Thank you in advance for continuing to participate in our growth and success. Also, thank you for sharing and tweeting my posts and for leaving your lovely comments. If you’re a blogger you know how rewarding it is to have that happen and I am very Grateful indeed.

Happy Thanksgiving and definitely stay tuned!

Until next time…

I love Avocado Oil. Not only is it readily absorbed into the skin’s deep tissue but studies show that it significantly increases collagen production. I began using it in Elique’s eye cream, Taut and in our bestselling face and body crème, Whipped. I am not surprised when people comment on how effective Whipped is at diminishing scars and relieving dryness and itchiness associated with their eczema. This is the magic of avocado oil. It is loaded in sterolins, which are proteins found to be indispensable for the regulation of sterol absorption and excretion and are reputed to reduce age spots, help heal sun damage and diminish scars. How cool is that!

Some other great avocado oil facts? Well it is one of the rare oils that is extracted from the flesh of the fruit, not the seed. It is loaded in vitamins A, D, E, B1 and B2 as well as potassium which promotes cell growth and has been called the mineral equivalent to the fountain of youth. NICE!

Avocado oil also contains lecithin, beta-carotene and over 20% essential unsaturated fatty acids which are fatty acids that humans and other animals must ingest because the body requires them for good health but cannot synthesize them. in humans these are alpha linoleic acid, an omega-3 and linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid.

Avocado oil is great for mature skin, dehydrated skin and climate damaged skin. This is a must-have skin food that will continue to be a core ingredient for Elique Organics Complete Skin Nutrition products! You can count on that.

Until next time…

While we are in the midst of our relaunch, Elique Organics will begin offering Skin Nutrition to Go services to our loyal customers.

We will create a seasonal menu describing our Limited Edition fresh food masks, serums and creams for purchase.

If you are in New York City, and would like to place an order for delivery, please be prepared with method of payment, address for delivery and the best time to deliver your product. When ordering masks from our Freshest line, please know they are perishable and must be refrigerated asap upon delivery and used within three days.

Stay tuned for our winter menu that will be posted December 3rd. We will be taking orders through December 12th and will deliver all products the weekend of December 17th and 18th. Our skin foods will consist of seasonal foods such as pear, quince, cranberry and pumpkin.

YUMMY!

Until next time…

Pics to Come…

Elique’s Limited Edition collections, exclusively for ABC Home are in their 2d year and I am like a proud mom grinning with honor and esteem as people make their way over to me to tell me how beautiful the pieces are. I know…

There is something very special about dusting off these gorgeous antiques, imagining where they came from and on whose vanity they sat and then resurrecting them to create the most unique and luxurious skin care collections anywhere on the market.

Our latest Kitten collection is in the house and is as beautiful as expected. Crystal and sterling silver collectibles from 1890-1920 hold Whipped, our best selling creme for the face and body. A match made in heaven.

Last Saturday, I was in store and almost immediately sold one of the larger vanity jars, a Mappin and Webb from London circa 1915. It was my favorite piece with the most gorgeous scroll detailing on the sterling lid. However, I have to let my lil babes go and this one couldn’t have gone to a nicer woman. Marcia was with her lovely friend shopping and we all started talking… they were so fun to meet and chat with and it is those blessed interactions that make what I do the best thing in the whole round world!

Ill be at ABC Home mid-afternoons/early evenings Friday-Sunday through the holiday season. You might catch me there one day during the week as well.

Come in and say hi!

Until then…
