Mature Skin Serum

A beautiful, soft and silky serum for the delicate skin on your face.

It's been a while coming but we finally present to you Halo Elite Botanicals Mature Skin Serum. 100% natural!

This serum starts as a maceration of herbs and botanicals in a golden, organic sunflower oil.

• Ginger root - to increase skins radiance, decreases inflammation and blocks free radicals
• hibiscus flower - also called the 'botox plant'
• elderberry - contains skin tightening components
• green tea - an antioxidant to block free radicals

We then add a blend of luxury oils to boost the skin benefits of the organic sunflower oil.

• argan oil - this 'liquid gold' is said to have restorative and anti-aging benefits
• andiroba oil - a great oil for all skin types and specifically chosen for its skin healing benefits
• pomegranate seed oil - in addition to antioxidant protection (as with all seed oils), this oil is said to help revive damaged skin cells

This product is topped off with a blend of essential oils said to help in the area of wrinkles, skin rejuvenation and skin tightening.

Working on Grand Opening Invites

I went camping in the Dells this past weekend.  It was nice to get away from the hectic days of preparing to open a second shop.  However, I had invites to work on!  I worked on them during the 2 hour drive up there, the 2 hour drive back AND in the mornings!

I wanted to finish off these fancy invites with a wax seal:

It didn't take long to get a hang of it.  I should start wax sealing everything!  It was a lot of fun :)

Here's the result of wax sealing for a bit in the morning before tubing.  You can see how each one is obviously handmade.  There's such a variety between the seals!

It wasn't ALL work.  I did enjoy some wine and snacks while working:

The end result? Beautiful invites for our Grand Opening Event!

Felted Soap

We have some exciting new soap felting workshops coming up soon!

Felting is where you take a bar of soap, wrap it in wool, then "felt" the wool around the soap.  You can then add designs to your felted soap using a felting needle.

We've already got some of these little guys trending on Twitter with the hashtag #wheresFelty.

Follow us on Twitter and Facebook or sign up for our newsletter to find out when these workshops will be happening!  We'll also be offering take home kits so you can make these little guys at home.

What Does the Halo Soap Store Front Look Like??

A lot of people ask us what our store front looks like.  Well, here are some pictures! This past holiday season, we got an adorable chandelier installed as well as four wall sconces.  These are on dimmer switches.  When we host our Twilight Shopping Nights, we turn off the big ceiling lights and have a lovely ambiance with the chandelier and sconces.  Makes for a great night out with friends!  The chandelier dangles above our body lotion and body butter table.

You can see our tote tree in the second picture which is painted on the wall right when you walk in.  The "leaves" are our collection of tote bags.

In the second picture, you can also see our bath bombs.  We load up jars with dozens of bath bombs and customers can pick and choose which bombs they wish to purchase.

In the third picture, you can see all of our soy candles and bar soaps.  We create both essential oil and fragrance oil bar soaps.

In the last picture, you can see our check out counter and our website across the back wall.
