Dry Brushing for the Lymph System with Essential Oils
Dry Brushing for the Lymph System with Essential Oils

Several essential oils show promise in preventing or reversing imbalances that accumulate in adipose and lymph tissue. Grapefruit, frankincense, cypress, and rose otto oils contain abundant amounts of monoterpenes, a class of botanical chemicals.Breasts contain an abundance of lymph vessels that support the circulatory system in maintaining proper fluid balance. The health of our lymphatic systems is intimately connected to our breast health. Lymphatic flow can be obstructed by tight bras, poor posture, lack of exercise, shallow breathing, and tight neck, shoulder, chest and back muscles……More  (To view in our Canada Store click here.)

Cells in our breasts can regenerate.
Breast massage with specific botanical oils is a simple step to keep our breasts healthy. The skin on the chest is thin and breast tissue contains a great deal of fat, which readily absorbs the protective blessings of lipophilic essential oils and infused-herbal oils. Working synergistically, these botanicals may prevent and reverse cysts, rejuvenate cells, and increase immune cell activity….More  (To view in our Canada Storeclick here)

A positive surprise
At first the smell didn´t strike me as appealing but after using it for the first time something happened. Now I find the smell so grounding and foresty. I really love the smell now. I think every woman needs this on their nightstand to have a daily ritual to give her breasts some love and attention, if only for acouple of minutes. I´ve seen great results with breast massage  
Amazing!

“This breast oil is amazing! Just like everything else I have tried from living libations :-) I rub this on my breasts a couple times a week and every time I do it, I smell so good and I feel so good. I feel like my breasts are really benefiting from the oils in this product and I love the mission behind it. Thanks, Nadine, for everything you do!”

Amazing Difference
“I’d like to make a long overdue comment on Nadine Artemis’ wonderful creation, Breast Massage Oil. I first tried this product in March 2013, just after it became available. The first thing I noticed was the wonderful fragrance, but moreover is how soft it makes my hands feel just after using it. The palms of my hands so incredibly soft and smooth, as is the skin on my breasts. I have large breasts and unfortunately I also have stretch marks. Not just from the large breasts themselves but also from how large they became while breastfeeding. The stretch marks started to resemble scars in the way that the skin became raised, keiloiding, had occurred. After approximately 6 months of using the Breast Massage Oil I realized something was changing. I’m not really sure what this beautifully fragrant oil does to the tissues inside my breasts, but I can tell you that the skin surface itself has improved. The most amazing difference is that the raised area for the stretch marks that seemed to keloid has shown reduction, and do not rise above the skin. There are still some white lines but not scar tissue like anymore! I love this oil and use it every morning after showering!” 
Living Libations’ Lymph+Tonic is an undiluted blend of circulation-enhancing essential oils that effectively generate lymphatic flow throughout the body. Used on its own or in combination with dry brushing, Lymph + Tonic helps the rivers of the lymphatic system flow fluidly and function at optimum levels.

rosy skin everywhere

I just started using this and it makes dry brushing so much more effective.  It brings all the blood to the surface and you can feel the lymph moving….I feel like my whole body glows after using this!

Great with massage
I use with dry brushing but also after a shower I mix 3 drops in some cocanut oil or other favorite creams and enjoy a full body massage-it’s good for you all over especially the lymph nodes

my face is glowing

Received my items in the mail and I was so excited!! Thanks for sending it so quick! Cell serum is a new product for me and after using it tonight my face is glowing and my love commented that I looked lovely without my makeup and smelled divine!!!! Thanks for creating such beautiful products!

Delicious Nectar!

The best product that LL makes. This serum smells fantastic, awakens the senses, brightens my skin and gives me a rosy glow immediately. I like to exfoliate my face with baking soda then apply this serum. It softens lines and plumps my skin. The Cinnamon gives a pop and a tingle to my face, a great wake up in the morning! I also like to apply this after a day outside in the sun, it gives my skin a drink and instantly makes sun kissed skin seem less thirsty. The serum goes on dry and does not leave an oily touch. Feels very nutritional. The best ever!

Glowing Happy Skin!
The cell serum has really impressed me! I am 24 and have been converting to only natural and safe products on my skin for the past 5 years. This is one of my favorites by far! I used to use a $170 bottle of skinceuticals vitamin c serum (for extra protection) but switched to the cell serum and am thrilled with this decision!! My skin glows more than ever before and drank this up immediately. Skin feels so soft and this also brightens the skin. Smells DELICIOUS and fresh. Skin may get a little pink when first absorbing because the ingredients are very warming, but you can feel it working into the skin. Beautifully made. You can mix a little with the Sea Buckthorn oil if desired. I wouldn’t go without this or the All Seeing Eye Cream! Both will enable you to wake up with a flawless glow. 
Our nourishing Night Nectar illuminates skin cells from the inside out. Infuse your skin with repairing botanicals while you dream of toning regeneration. Relax in slumber while this hard-working nectar takes the night shift!

For it is in the dew of little things that the skin finds its morning and is refreshed. Living Libations activating Night Nectar penetrates deeply into the dermis, illuminating skin cells from the inside out. Apply to fine lines, wrinkles, and any area of the skin that yearns for extra succulence…..More (To view in our Canada Store click here)

Beautiful Blend

I just received the large sized bottle of this after taking a gamble that it would be a great product just looking at the ingredients-it is even better than I expected.  I’ve tried Dew Dab and Zippity Dew Dab in my night routine in the past and benefitted from each but I love the addition of the Broccoli Seed oil which makes the consistency a bit thicker and easier to control coming out of the bottle. In one application my skin has a healthy glow and feels nicely moisturized. It has a lovely light smell-the chamomile and Frankincense really stand out. Delicious!

Love This Moisturizing “Nectar”
I mix this with the Rose Glow Serum at night and I love the way my skin glows after wards, it leaves my skin moisturized but not oily, Thank you for making such beautiful skin care products! 

Sunny floral-fruit cheer….. More (To view in our Canada Store click here)

Happy happy happy
Bergamot is one of my favorite oils. It is a total mood lifter. If I smell it deeply, it smells like Black Tea. I use bergamot if I am feeling sad, lethargic, irritated or angry. I don’t know how but somehow, it lifts all the bad moods away. It is a guaranteed happy maker.
Bergamot Butterfly
This essence carried me through visions of a butterfly in still flight in the center of my heart, effortlessly beating it’s wings in perfect rhythm with my original purpose.

Summer sky blue healing messenger to calm, counsel and align…….More (To view in our Canada Store click here.)

Magnificent
Nadine, the Yarrow is magnificent!  I can’t stop looking at it or dispersing it in bath salts ( so pretty ), room sprays and in jojoba!  It made a nice addition to my little gifts… And as a room spray in a clear glass bottle (with cape chamomile, benzoin, lemon, lavender and friends).
Living Libations Labdanum Absolute is a warm, rich, potent absolute commonly used in meditation and spiritual quests. Extracted from the oleoresin of the rockrose plant, this elixir is a richer, more concentrated version of Rockrose Essential Oil, with a host of benefits unique to the absolute alone.

Deep, earthy, grounding
“This is my first oil from Living Libations and it smells so earthy and deep. I put a dab on each wrist in the morning and it grounds me all day! Definitely not for those wanting light, fresh, flowery. To me it smells a little rougher and tougher, which is a nice change!  I would say this could be just as nice on a man as on a woman.”
 

Our organic Roses Over Geranium Essential Oil combines the regulating effects of Rose Otto with the immune-boosting power of geraniums. Both oils contain potent skin healing properties, making this co-distillation a popular treatment for broken blood vessels, capillaries, varicose veins, spider veins,cellulite, acne, and oily skin.

New book available in paper back from one of SGC’s long time supporters… “Maighread MacKay” September 8 2015

SGC Admin: We are pleased to share the following fabulous news from local author and artist “Maighread MacKay” 

margaret mackay
copyright: Margaret Hefferman

Known for her children’s novels under the name of Margaret Hefferman, “Maighread” has a new and exciting Adult Fiction novel to share. “Stone Cottage”, is already available on Kinder, and will be available in paper back on September 8 2015… Please see Maighread’s description below… :) 

It is paranormal fiction and deals with life, death, reincarnation, past life regression and second chances. Here is a short synopsis:

Victoria Anne McBride is dead, mourned and buried. Unfortunately, she doesn’t see it that way and refuses to move on. There’s something she needs to tell her husband, Will. Until she does, she will wait for his return to their home, Stone Cottage. For as long as it takes, she will wait…wait…wait.

Rebecca Wainwright is a 21st century woman. Determined, her world is perfect and in control. Just the way she likes it. Tragedy strikes and she descends into chaos. Trying to heal, she searches for a sanctuary…a place of her own, away from the burdensome concern of her family and best friend. A place where she can lick her wounds without anyone watching. She stumbles across a lovely stone home located off the beaten path and feels completely at home, as if she’d been there before. Why is she so drawn to this place? How can it help her to heal?

Perhaps, Victoria Anne can help.
