here’s their detail product descriptions to help you brainstorm:
beauty-mi Face soap — A miraculous cleanser-exfoliate all-in-one soap best known for its skin brightening and softening super-powers. Tradition has it that Asian women rub rice bran powder on their face to keep their skin smooth and youthful. Rice bran powder is said to prevent wrinkles, quickly heal blemishes, absorb the dirt and oil from the pores, balance the natural oils in the skin, and moisturize. We add in Adzuki Bean Powder, C-Milk (Vegan, Coconut Milk) and African Shea Butter to perfect this formula. Scented lightly in Peachy Yuzu fragrance oil.

balancing botanical mist — Toning is an often forgotten, but a very important step in any complete cleansing routine. A good toner can soften pores and prepare skin for moisturizing. Our Balancing Mist uses only pure, organically grown, floral extracts to create a mildly astringent, cooling toner that soothes, rejuvenates, and balances all skin types. Gently spray on clean face with this natural bontanical fine mist to retain healthy glowing skin. Our Balancing Mist is also a wonderful light moisturizer throughout the day whenever your skin needs a hydrating boost. Our 2 oz bottle is just the perfect size for convenient and travel anywhere.

beauty-mi Moisturizing oil — This artful blend of rice bran, Camelina, and Olive Squalane oils, works against the ravages of time and environmental toxins to improve your skin’s hydration and elasticity. Rice bran oil has components believed to hinder ultraviolet rays as they meet the skin’s surface, contains the highest amount of all natural Vitamin E, and is one of the gentlest oils. Camelina Oil, also know as the gold-of-pleasure, contains a high percentage of essential fatty acids to help repair damaged skin cells and improve skin elasticity. We proudly use Fitoderm® Olive Squalane Oil, a pure, botanically derived squalane produced by the total hydration of the squalane source in olive oil, known for boosting skin’s ability to naturally defend, regenerate, hydrate, and oxygenate. Apply 1-2 drops to the entire face and neck while skin is still moist from toning with Botanical Balancing Mist. The proportion of mist to oil can be adjusted to suit your skin type.

Mimie’s Blog recommendation: Operation NICE

My indie buddy, Melissa from melissahead designs recently started a blog dedicated to the practice of NICE!.  In her words – “If everyone was a little bit nicer to the folks they encountered each day, perhaps the world would be a more pleasant place. Operation NICE was initiated to remind you that a little NICE goes a long way.”  Everyday, she comes up with stories, tips and even little downloadable notes that you can help to make the changes.

How NICE!! It’s my everyday must read.
