All New! Linen Sprays

Supernatural Botanicals Linen Sprays

It’s finally here….our Linen Sprays!  A little background information…If you know me, you know I’m the queen of fabric softener.  When I do laundry, I use three capfuls of softener because I just can’t get enough of that fresh scent.  But even with three capfuls of softener, the scent does fade within a day or two.  I like my sheets and clothes smelling fresh until I wash them again.  Out of that desire to have my linens and clothes smelling good all  the time came the creation of our Linen Sprays. 

Great to use as an instant refreshner to linens and clothes.   Perfect as a room spray to eliminate odors.  Adds freshness to closets and drawers.  If you truly love the smell of fabric softener (like I do), you’ll adore the fresh spring scent of Fabric Softener Fresh Linen Spray.  Our Lavender Water Linen Spray  is a calm, relaxing scent, perfect for spraying on your sheets right before bedtime for a calm, aromatherapeutic restful sleep. 

Check out what’s new at Supernatural Botanicals….you’ll love these Linen Sprays!

The Art Of Extreme Self Care

Here’s a new concept for you…Extreme Self Care.  Cheryl Richardson, a New York Times best-selling author of books like Take Time For Your Life, Life Makeovers, Stand Up For Your Life, etc., (perhaps you recognize her from her numerous Oprah visits), is challenging us to a new concept, and it’s Extreme Self Care. 

The trappings many of us fall into, especially women, is the caring and nurturing of everyone around us while we tend to let ourselves fall apart from lack of care.  Cheryl’s book, The Art of Extreme Self Care is a guide that helps you transform your life one month at a time.  In essence, it pulls you out of your own body and forces you to look at yourself from 1000 feet. 

A chapter that hit home with me was the Absolute No List.  See if you can relate….here are a few of Cheryl’s Absolute Nos from her list:

MY ABSOLUTE NO LIST:  I NO LONGER: 

*Jump out of bed in the morning.  I give myself the time and space I need to start the day in a serene and relaxed state. 

*  Keep anything in my home that I don’t love or need.

*  Tolerate or participate in gossip. 

*  Go to work when I’m sick.

*  Invest time in relationships that aren’t aligned with who I am and who I want to be. 

*  Keep clothes I hope to fit into “someday.” 

*  Throw away anything that can be recycled. 

*  Get caught up in other people’s drama.

*  Eat when I’m not hungry. 

It’s statements like these that get your mind moving in the right direction.  Decide what’s on your ABSOLUTE NOlist and stick to it.  Not only is it empowering, but it brings an ultra-sense of calm and relaxation to your mind.

Ann Compton

Seriously, how much fun can you have in one night?  Smart Talk Connected Conversations brought Ann Compton to town last night and she nailed it!  Literally, from the opening paragraph into her speech, I was captivated…we were all captivated.  Ann has so many interesting stories, you could just talk to her for hours.  And you can see by the pictures, she’s completely down to earth and sincere. 

Ann has covered seven presidents for ABC News in a career that has taken her to the White House and Capital Hill.  She is the national correspondent for ABC News Radio, based in Washington, D.C.

It’s overtly obvious that she’s an excellent speaker.  She’s dynamic and she captures the audience instantly.  Below are some notes I took during her speech.  Everything she said was so interesting, I could barely take notes fast enough. 

*  She was the only broadcast reporter allowed to remain on board Air Force One during the dramatic hours when President Bush was unable to return to Washington. 

*  The Dalai Lama told President Obama that we needed for female leaders!  (ed. note:  Team Dalai Lama!) 

*  President Bush emailed her yesterday.  He’s working on a book. 

*  Thanks to Google Map, she learned Bill Ayres …yes, this  Bill Ayres, lives in her childhood home in Chicago.

*  On Air Force One, everything, everything, has the Presidential Seal, from the seat belts,  the drinking glasses to the razors in the bathroom.

*  On 09/11, Air Force One landed in Louisiana …because they were out of gas, and only for that reason.

*  The infamous potatoe/potato blunder made by Dan Quayle was, in part, not his fault.  It was an error made by a teacher on a flash card that he was reading.

*  The biggest news source right now…it’s YouTube, believe it or not. 

*  Ann’s only lukewarm on the notion of social media.  She thinks it’s the dumbing-down of news, and at times, grossly inaccurate. 

*  On August 6, 1990, president George H. W. Bush sent her an apology note (on presidential stationary) saying he was sorry for being too snippy with her in an interview.  He signed it with a smiley face!

*  “Social media is fraught with error and bad judgement.” 

*  One of her favorite websites is the DrudgeReport.com. 

*  Ann still sees the good in on the spot reporting, however.  For instance, reporters were not allowed to view Saddam Hussein being put to death.  The reason we saw those images thereafter was due to camera phones of those who witnessed it. 

*  Ronald Regan threw great cocktail parties for the press.

*  Ronald Regan called Ann in the hospital the day her daughter was born to send warm wishes.  (Wow!)

*  The speech writer for Obama is (surprisingly) only 27 years old. 

*  Ann goes directly to the White House every day for work, not ABC offices. 

*  Ann was offered a job her senior year of college.  She says she has never applied for a job in her life. 

*  Jimmy Carter once referred to Ann as “the reporter with the large diamond ring.” 

*  Ann is married to Dr. William Hughes, and has four kids.

*  Her children are the following:  A doctor, a lawyer, a software designer, and a budding media exec. 

*  She was with president bush at the elementary school when 09/11 went down. 

*  She first sat down and cried about 09/11 when she got back and checked her email.  The first email was from her son, stating his fraternity brother was on the 93rd floor of the World Trade Center.

Ann is truly an inspiration to all career girls, and women in general.  She’s a fearless female leader who has earned her place at the top.

All Natural Sugar Scrubs from Supernatural Botanicals

One of the things we are most proud of at Supernatural Botanicals is our all-natural vegetable-based sugar scrub.  It took over a year and a half of research and development to create the consistency in which we wanted.  Long gone are the standard sugar scrubs with three inches of sugar on the bottom and three inches of oil on the top.  Our sugar scrub maintains it’s consistency, so you recieve equal portions of oils and sugar.  Your skin will feel soft and mositurized, and will smell sensational.  Traditional sugar scrubs leave your body feeling like an oil-slick when you are getting out of the shower, not to mention, they are full of cheap oils and fragrances.  Our formula is 100% all natural, right down to the organic grapefruit essential oils for a burst of citrusy aroma.  Click here to learn more.
