Blog will be moving to the website soon

In case any of you have been to the website recently, I'm sure that you have noticed a much more sophisticated look and easier navigation. My step-son, Jeremy, did all of that work for me. I think it looks really awesome. If you have any comments or suggestions, please email me julieh@ceva.net.

This will be my last blog entry at this web address. Jeremy is moving the blog onto the site, so hopefully, more folks will begin reading it.

Hope to hear from you soon. Julie

Extra Moisturizing Liquid Soap Now Available on skinfree.net

I promised many of you that I would work on developing a 100% natural liquid soap. It's now available on skinfree.net. I wanted a very gentle soap that could be used for people that are recovering from chemo or radiation therapy. It's also great for babies or people with really dry skin.

Some manufacturer's of natural liquid soaps do not add any extra fats to the mix, so they tend to be drying. We added extra shea butter and chose oils that would give you a nice rich lather as well.

The soap appears to be thin at first, but once you pour a small amount on a dampened washcloth or bath puff you will be surprised at how concentrated it is.

Dani Glaser, who has reviewed most of our products for us online, told us that she combined the Liquid Soap with her Sugar Scrub and got great results. Could be the start of a new formulation!

We just had our local Relay for Life, which always makes me think about my mom. My mother was undoubtedly the greatest influence in my life. She taught me a lot about being a strong woman, an independent thinker, and a kind person. When she graduated from Pharmacy School in 1956, there were only 5 women in her class. My class had a 51% majority of females.

Mom never got to see me graduate. She died during spring break of my senior year. That was a very long time ago, but she is still influencing my life, my choice of careers, and the need I have to help others.

I never really got to thank my mother for all that she taught me. To make up for that, I'm dedicating my new Liquid Soap to her. $1 from each sale of the Liquid Soap will go to the Susan G. Koman fund for breast cancer research. Thanks, Mom.

Whoopi Goldberg Loves Skin Free Skin Care!!!

I got a very exciting call and email from one of the producers of "The View" on ABC. She told me that Whoopi Goldberg was crazy about Skin Free Skin Care and wanted to share the products on the show.

Early in February, I had sent out gift bags to my favorite talk show hosts and beauty editors. Apparently, they were a big hit with Whoopi.

The producer wanted to know if we would provide products to be given out to the studio audience. But, of course!!!! What were Whoopi's picks?

She asked for the Extra Moisturizing Soap and Shampoo Bar and the Sweet and Smooth Sugar Scrub. Not a bad selection, right?

Now I just have to wait until the producers pick a date. You'll be the first to know!

Skin Free Products Now on drugstore.com

Skin Free Skin Care products are now available on drugstore.com. drugstore.com offers the same free shipping policy on orders of $25.00 or more that we now offer on skinfree.net.

With gasoline prices skyrocketing, I think it's a great time for everyone to shop online. Security with your credit card information is safer than it has ever been. Most online stores will accept call-in orders (we do at our offices).

Partnering with online drug and department stores gives our customers the opportunity to shop for more items and not have to suffer expensive S&H charges, gasoline bills, or the sweltering heat.

If you have elderly friends who aren't able to use the Internet, it would be very kind to help them here. You could either teach them about online shopping or do the shopping for them. This goes for friends and family who are ill, too.

I hope everyone goes over to drugstore.com and does some shopping, especially if you throw some Skin Free products in your cart. drugstore.com also partners with Rite Aide Pharmacies and GNC stores. Check it out!
