‘Tis the Season to Show Some Skin

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

Now that summer is officially underway, it’s hard to find an excuse to hide behind layers of clothing. Besides, even if you wanted to, the scorching summer sun makes it difficult to withstand being covered from head-to-toe. SJ Creations understands that after months of hiding behind bulky sweaters, you skin may need a little freshening up before you’re ready to expose it to the outside world. Luckily, we’ve got several products perfect for helping to prepare your skin for its big summer reveal.

First, exfoliation is key. Get rid of the dry skin winter build-up with a Delightful Duo of a 16 oz. exfoliating body polish and a shower sponge. We’ve got nine wonderful scents to choose from, including Lemongrass & Ginger, Honey Mango, Orange Blossom and Passion Fruit Lime.  A quick rub of the body polish will leave your skin soft, smooth and smelling great!

Clockwise from top left: Honey Mango, Lemongrass & Ginger, Orange Blossom and Passion Fruit Lime. A wonderful value at only $8 each.

Once your skin is nicely polished, indulge in one of our six body butter scents. Available in Cocoa Butter, Coconut, Coconut Lime, Olive Oil, Soy and Vanilla Sugar, these 8 oz. body butters are rich and creamy. Smooth this onto your skin and feel your legs turn to velvet.

 

Clockwise from top left: Cocoa Butter, Coconut, Coconut Lime, Vanilla Sugar, Soy and Olive Oil. Only $5.99 each.

Celebrate Memorial Day with History and Special Offers!

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

Image: dan / FreeDigitalPhotos.net

Many people view Memorial Day simply as a day off from work or the unofficial start to summer. But few Americans actually know the history behind the day so here’s a quick lesson.

The holiday began in 1868 as Decoration Day, a celebration to honor the Civil War soldiers who died. About 5,000 people attended the inaugural event at Arlington National Cemetery to decorate the graves of 20,000 soldiers and pay their respects.

Over the following century, people continued to honor the wartime heroes, especially in the years after World Wars I and II. In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day an official federal holiday and set the date as the last Monday in May.

Although the holiday weekend is more often filled with backyard barbeques and road trips these days, some communities manage to keep the true spirit of the holiday alive with parades and other celebrations. Arlington National Cemetery continues to honor the fallen soldiers with a ceremony including a speech from the president and the placement of an American flag on each soldier’s grave.

SJ Creations hopes that you have a happy and safe holiday weekend. We want to help you kick off the celebration by offering a 15% discount on all orders from May 27-May 30. As an added bonus, the first 10 customers who redeem the code MDBUTTER this weekend will receive one FREE body butter with a $10 minimum purchase!

Scrub your way to smooth summer skin with Lemon Verbena Body Polish!

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Our gorgeous Lemon Verbena Delightful Duo Gift Set includes a large jar of scrumptious Exfoliating Body Polish with an absorbent Shower Sponge to scrub and pamper every body part from neck to toes for sumptuous, smooth skin – all for just $6.00!

Although not actually derived from a citrus fruit, the powerful lemon scent from Lemon Verbena (Aloysia citrodora) comes from a flowering plant native to South America. It is often used as a lemon substitute for cooking and for personal care products. Using this botanical ingredient instead of citrus can lend to a gentler way to enjoy the fresh lemon scent.

In honor of all things Citrus by SJ Creations, and for this month’s featured Fragrance of the Month, the Lemon Verbena Delightful Duo is on sale along with ALL Citrus themed items, with a savings of 25% off for the entire month of July!
