I will meet you in the DFW area to deliver if you want to place an order this week! Just email me at LindseyC@gardengirlskincare.com

I am making an order next week and trying to gather some orders up.

Also, if you wish to order online, yo ucan sign up on the website for coupon codes. You will recieve discounts every week. This week the discount is twenty five percent off cleansers, which is great. The herbal face cleanser You're Fresh Herbal Face Cleanser [fresh] - $8.00 : Paraben Free Skincare Natural Skin Care Products Paraben Free Products, by Garden Girl Skincare is $25 so after the discount it would be $18.75 plus tax and shipping for you.

Wow ! I estimate it is a six month supply, because it only takes three squirts to cleanse your face. A small amount is the perfect amount, because it is concentrated.

That is going to be just over $3 a month for paraben, pthalate and sulfate free cleanser. That is a really good deal ! I know a lot of natural cleansers you will spend much more for less product. This is just a great deal on cleanser !

If you shop online please put Lindsey Coddington as your consultant.

Thai Kitchen Lemongrass and Chili Stir Fry Rice Noodles

These are very awesome ! I highly recommend them for a quick dinner. They are not only vegan, but also gluten free.

The package recommends stir frying the noodles with chicken, tofu, or beef. I used tofu. I got the firm kind, but I think the extra firm would have worked best. I just used it, because it was what I had on hand. It turned out great. The tofu crumbled a bit, but the taste was fabulous.

The only difference I made to the package instructions was to cook the tofu in chili powder, instead of just in the oil. I think this made it a bit spicier, but it was so good !

A wok is best for stir frying, of course. You can typically find one for a relatively low price at walmart, target or your local department store.

I got mine at whole foods for around $2.39 I believe after a $1 coupon found on the package. Without the couple they would be over $3, but still not bad for a two person meal. Add in a package of tofu for under $2 and a couple of fresh veggies and it is a great inexpensive, healthy and quick meal.

When purchased on amazon.com, they come to $2.55 a box for a pack of twelve boxes... not bad !

Link to Pthalate Free Companies

http://www.thinkbeforeyoupink.org/Pages/PhthalateFree.html

I checked the paraben and pthalate free lists. The pthalate free list seems more comprehensive, because everything in contains seems to be also on the paraben free list. Although the paraben free list contains brands that may not be completely pthalate free.

So , when shopping for natural products, this is the list I would use as a source.

Review of Garden Girl Microdermabrasion and Explanation of Use

The Starting Over microdermabrasian from Garden Girl Skincare rivals any I have seen, in terms of price and quality. The natural ingredients distinguish it from others and make it a great choice ! If you are currently using another microdermabrasion, consider switching. Or if you are new to concept, consider adding it to your skincare routine.

http://www.gardengirlskincare.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_4&products_id=184 Remember to put Lindsey Coddington as your consultant if you order online. You can always contact me with questions at LindseyC@gardengirlskincare.com

This product is great for all skin types, except for sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin and want to take advantage of its fabulous exfoliation properties, then just use it with water. This is what I do. If your skin is not sensitive you can use it on a dry face, but I think it is a bit harsh typically.

Here is my procedure for use.

1. Cleanse with Garden Girl's You're Fresh Herbal Face Cleanser.
2. Leaving a little water on skin, pat dry.
3. Take a dime size amount of microdermabrasion cream and spread over the face. If you need more you can always add it, but don't overdo it. Most garden Girl products are highly concentrated, it only takes a little.
4. Use your fingers to scrub your face with the cream. Work in a circular and upward motion. Remember when using any type of moisturizer you want to work it in , using an upward motion as well. This is like giving yourself a mini face lift.
5. Rinse off
6. Spray or dab on Even StepHen toner with a cotton pad or reusable cloth pad.
7. Moisturize with Nature Nurture or No Worries Skincream from Garden Girl . No worries is for sensitive skin and Nature Nurture is for all skin types, besides sensitive.

This microdermabrasion is effective at clearing pores and removing impurities. It will reduce lines and wrinkles and it makes your face so bright and fresh ! I love it !



Garden Girl 2 oz Jar $38.00 (Refill $28.00) = Two Jars for an average of $33 each , $16.50an ounce. Remember the initial is higher, but with each refill you purchase your per ounce cost is decreasing.

Thinking about content, most microdermabrasions will contain parabens or other harsh preservatives, to keep the contents safe from bacteria. Garden girl only uses safe paraben-free prerservative in minimal amounts. Therefore, the product is safe for use in terms of prohibiting bacterial growth and in terms of ingredients. Many products it is almost impossible to even find a list of the ingredients, unless you have the product in your hand (and even then it can be hard !)

Check out Garden Girl's ingredient glossary. http://www.2dogsdesign.com/gardengirl/ingredients.pdf

It explains what every ingredient is and does ! What a great resource ! Why do other companies not provide this item? Maybe it is because they do not want you to think about what is in their products !

Even companies that seem natural like Origins may contain parabens, pthalates, sulfates or petrochemicals. Origins is under Estee Lauder and they have refused to sign the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. Why would a company refuse unless they had something unsafe in their products?

I hope that this provides a good explanation of the Starting Over Microdermabrasion and why it is an awesome consumer decision on your part ! Enjoy !
