BLUE SOLAR WATER


I have been hearing about the benefits of drinking blue solar water a lot lately, so I decided to give it a try. Studies have shown that water put in the blue solar bottles and put in the sun will raise the frequency of the water using the sun's rays to help purify and change the structure of the water molecules.  According to Ho’o pono pono this purified water is meant to heal deep emotional wounds.

It is easy to make, just purchase your solar blue bottle and fill with purified or spring water, then set in the sun for 1 hour or more. You can drink it, cook with it and even bath in it.

I received my bottle in the mail yesterday and here it is getting sun.



I have been drinking my solar water for 1 day now and I can tell you that it tastes amazing.  I can definitley taste a difference in the water.

EXCESSIVE HAND WASHING

I find that I am constantly washing my hands, I don't know if its a germaphobic thing or that I just clean too much.  Anyways due to all the washing, my hands have become extremely dry.  I tried store bought liquid soaps that were supposed to be moisturizing and this only made it worse.  I decided to create my own liquid soap with all natural castile soap, oils and essential oils.  Wow!! what a difference.  I love this new soap, it is gentle, smooth and does NOT dry out the skin. I used a foaming bottle which makes for a nice foaming soap. So far I have made it in peppermint and citrus, both of which I love.  It is a mild scent that leaves a nice aroma on your hands.  The natural oils leave a protective coating on the hands that keep them feeling moisturized after every washing.  I had a guest visit this weekend, whom tried the soap and loved it.  She loved the smell and the moisturizing the soap offered. She has requested I make some for her son who has a compulsive hand washing ritual, I am hoping this will help him with his excessive dryness due to over washing.  NOW AVAILABLE in 2 sizes and 2 scents in my shop  I have the large 8 oz bottle which is perfect for bathrooms and kitchens and the small travel size 1.6 oz bottle.  This small size is a great way to sample the product before committing to the larger size and easily fits in your purse or bag.  The soap comes in sweet citrus and tangy peppermint, both are fabulous~

LIP CHATTERS

Playa Blu is Spreading the Love!!! 

We have launched another new product called Lip Chatters.  This product is meant to spread a positive message out there to all of its users.  The balms have an uplifting quote on each tube and with each application of the balm the user is intended to express the statement.  

What better way to spread positive energy then to make "Happy Statements"!  There are 5 different flavors, with 5 different labels and quotes. Each tube is a super size balm and equal 1/2 fl oz compared to the 1/5 oz of most balm tubes.  The lip balm is made from all natural ingredients and is infused with positive Reiki energy before production. The intention here is to repeat the statement on the tube each time it is used.  An example of the quote is "With these lips I express gratitude".  Check them out at Playa Blu !!!

AROMATHERAPY FOR HEADACHE RELIEF

I have had the worst headache all day long and nothing was helping, I took aspirin and Advil and still I had this headache.  So I pulled out my trusty aromatherapy book in hopes of finding some relief.  I followed the instructions for a headache and about 10 minutes later is was totally gone, Amazing!! Next time I will skip the medicine and go straight to the essential oils. 

 Here is the recipe.

2 drops of any vegetable oil (I used jojoba oil)
2 drops of lavender essential oil
3drops of pepermint essential oil

rub it on your temples, hairline and back of neck.

WHAT IS REIKI ENERGY YOU ASK?


Reiki is an energy and system of healing (universal energy).  Reiki has been used to treat virtually every known illness from migraines, broken bones, to fatigue and personality disorders.  Reiki works on all levels; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual to promote healing.  Reiki can be used to heal animals, people at a geographical distance from the healer, past traumas and future events. Reiki flows through the healer to the recipient. Because Reiki is universal energy it can only heal and cause no harm.

Reiki can be passed on to objects also.  Just as one may pray over their food, Reiki can be directed into the food before consumption.  I infuse all of my ingredients with Reiki energy before I make my skincare products.  This purifies the ingredients of any negative energy that may be attached to them.  I have found that these products actually give my skin a natural glow because of the positive energy in them.

To use Reiki energy you must complete a training program in which a Reiki master passes the energy on to you.  Once you have this training then you may be able to use this energy to help heal others.  I use Reiki often to heal my pets, I witnessed a cat go from  deaths door  to complete recovery with no other means of healing other than Reiki.

As with any alternative healing method, I am sure their are skeptics,out there.  I will leave it up to you to decide if Reiki energy is beneficial to health and wellness.  To give my products a try please visit http://www.playablu.com/ 


Love and blessings~

Reuse-Recycle Program

Save the environment and save money too~ It came to me when I was reusing my deodorant bottle. I cleaned it out, sanitized it and then refilled it with my natural deodorant. Why not offer this to customers too. This will save on costs and make a little difference in landfill waste. The program will be as follows; after you have purchased a product from me and you "LOVED" it so much you would like another. Just mail back the original container, I will clean and sanitize the container and refill it with the product you have choosen and ship it out to you. You will be rewarded with a 40% discount on the item you purchased. And we can both feel good about recycling and helping the environment.

New Product Line

Playa Blu has teamed up with Sassy Kat Boutique to create wonderful gift baskets for Mom and baby called Mommy & Me.  This is such a great idea for baby showers.  New moms definitely need a little pampering after taking care of the little one.  These baskets are designed to give a cute, practical gift for baby and then some very much needed skincare products for moms.  There will be a basket for baby girls and a basket for baby boys.  Once the basket sells a brand new basket will be created with new items. This first basket, made for baby girls has the cutest handmade shoes and matching headband, it also holds sweet hand dip dyed bloomers in shades of pink, the whole set is made to match and fits babies 0-6 mo's.  For Mom we have included  pink tinted lip balm since she most likely won't have time to put on makeup, a little colored lip balm works great. Next we gave her some exfoliating face wipes, these are so easy and convenient to use, since she won't have much time for bathing, just rub on your face and go.  And lastly we gave mom our super moisturizing body balm, this works great on dry cracked hands and feet. She can rub this on her feet before bed, put on socks and head off to sleep, at least until baby wakes her up. This basket also includes a super soft microfiber cloth that works great for both baby and mom.  This is a gift I am sure any new Mommy would appreciate greatly.  Check it out  here

 Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil has some amazing benefits to the skin it works  
*As an anti-bacterial  
*As an anti-inflammatory 
*As a moisturizer 
*And as an acne treatment.

What makes jojoba so great is its similarity to the oil that our own skin produces, called sebum. This means that our skin knows exactly how to deal with it, absorbing it quickly and easily, and using it to create a powerful barrier against moisture loss.  Jojoba oil also has a natural SPF of 4 giving you some sun protection in addition to the moisturizing benefits. Jojoba oil is a natural anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory and has been used in the past to treat skin infections, eczema and acne.  Playa Blu uses Jojoba oil in the perfume line as well as in the face lotion to ensure that the best ingredients are added to their product line.
