Celebraing Valentine's Day with Aromatic Traditions

Valentine’s Day has been referred to as a man made marketing fest for greeting cards, flowers and chocolates. Yet it continues to inspire expressions of romance, honoring of friendships and love ones. This special day inspires hope for continued warm, caring relationships. Garden of Eve offers Special Valentine’s Discounts on personalized presents for both men and women. Use 10 % Discount Code VAL2011.

At Garden of Eve we support the ‘scentiments’ of Valentine’s Day with the aromatic essences of Rose and Citrus which historically have been found to bring ‘Joy to the Heart’ since the days of Cleopatra. An ancient tale of luring the heart speaks of Cleopatra soaking the sails of her ship with Rose and Orange essential oils in order to launch her plan to lure Mark Anthony as her ship sailed into his harbor.

Today anyone can warm their heart while softening their skin with Garden of Eve’s Joy to the Heart Hand and Body Cream. It affords a great opportunity to experience the deep uplifting calm of the aromatic blend of flowers.

Men are not to be ignored on this day of caring expression. Garden of Eve has a special treat for men as well. Men can adorn themselves with pure subtle essences while addressing their masculine skin care needs. Adam’s After Shave Skin Toner is a great introduction to caring for masculine skin with only pure wholesome ingredients. Today men are seeking pure non-toxic skin care products. Garden of Eve offers a complete line of pure quality skin care for men.

Aromatherapy is an age old tradition that can reach the emotions on a deep and subtle level. Aromas can bring forward treasured memories of family and friends. Aromas can also inspire joy and creativity or enhance calm and relaxation. The right aroma can even help to promote a restful night’s sleep. Valentine’s Day is a perfect opportunity for introducing this ancient ‘therapy’ to a loved one.

Garden of Eve offers an array of aromatic creams that address a variety of possibilities.


Winter season is an excellent time to snuggle up with a book, a cup of tea and treat yourself to the uplifting, heart soothing aromas of nature’s gifts – the aromatic essential oils of plants.

Living Green –

I have had some thoughts brewing that were stirred up by the experience of the moving process. They are related to people’s concepts of ‘What is Eco-friendly’ and What people may ‘pass off’ as eco-or planet-friendly , which I have seen to be contrary to my belief in what is planet-friendly i.e. in support of our health and the health of our planet.

My recent experience -

I had my furniture cleaned by an ‘environmentally friendly’ company. They did an excellent job and I would use them again and recommend them with one realization in mind. While they were cleaning my sofas and I was busy continuing to pack boxes. I noticed a scent in the air that immediately registered as a ‘not’ natural aroma. When I asked what that was the cleaner said it is a ‘deodorizer.’ I commented that there was NO odor in my furniture and he agreed saying we always use this when there are pets. That raised a FLAG to me. I commented that ‘Clean’ has NO smell and their deodorizer to me was a toxic odor. Bless them, they are a wonderful company and re-cleaned my furniture to remove the ‘odor of the deodorizer.’ They did such a good job that I had them clean all my area rugs, tapestry and other items.

What is the true, pure definition of Environmentally or Planet - Friendly?

This is my core belief and my criteria for choosing anything that enters my physical environment, i.e. food, body care products, household cleaners and clothing as well how I have developed the Garden of Eve Skin Care products.
Only the elements that exist in nature belong in our environment.

i.e. Only elements that are produced by the planet are planet-friendly.
This is why...

What grows in nature is made of the same vitamins, minerals, enzymes, hormones and essential fatty acids that we are made of. That is why we benefit from them as our food, herbal remedies, and aromatic potions. Our bodies accept these as similar to and in alignment with our chemistry and thus conducive to building our health. Each plant, animal and mammal is different only in that these elements are configured differently for each species. Any highly processed version of any of these natural elements is no longer of the same purity and same essence as nature produced. It is therefore recognized by our bodies and our environment as a foreign substance that is potentially toxic. Research has shown that synthetic chemicals and synthetic fragrances specifically, are potentially toxic to our health and to the health of our environment. They are contrary to our natural chemistry and that of our planet. The deodorizer that I smelled got my attention immediately as not natural and toxic to me. Our sense of smell serves us as an early warning system. It is worthwhile to pay close attention. Only elements that are the same as what we and nature are made of are truly “planet friendly, environmentally safe, or eco-friendly.”

Relief in This Summer Heat

In this Summer Heat


Wow! What a Hot Summer… and its barely begun. To ease the effect of the summer heat, on both the skin and possibly body temperature too, I came up with plan to encourage awareness of one of the most effective uses of my Facial Toners…the refreshing, cleansing relief that they afford on hot and humid summer days.


True, the beneficial properties of my Facial Toners extends well beyond refreshing and cooling. They are highly beneficial for balancing and nourishing the skin as well as toning pores and preparing the pores to receive the face cream.


In hot humid weather it is wonderful to have a pocket/purse size facial toner to cleanse and remove perspiration as it forms and at the same time enjoy a refreshing spritz of a lovely herb and flower mist.


To share my love for the amazing pure plant hydrosols that comprise the Garden of Eve Facial Toners , our JULY SPECIAL is a GIVEAWAY of a FREE sample size (.5 oz) Facial Toner (value 12.00) with all orders over $50.00.


If your order already includes a Facial Toner, I suggest that you try a different blend for your FREE TREAT.


I hope that this will inspire a love of my Toners which are made solely of plant hydrosols. These are a highly beneficial and pure form of plants.


Please be sure to note in the COMMENT BOX at Checkout which Facial Toner blend you would like for your free gift. Please understand that Custom blends are not included in this Special Offer.


To learn more about the Facial Toners and the pure plant hydrosols of which they are made please refer to our

Garden of Eve Launches a Green Fathers Day Tribute for

For Men Who Want to Look Well-groomed with Little Fuss


GREEN GIFTS for FATHER'S DAY
Special Discounts on: Adam's Basic Face Care Kit &
Adam's Basic Face Care Kit - PLUS
Coupon Code: Adam2010


As fathers, grandfathers and husbands are recognized on Father’s Day, Garden of Eve is offering Special Discounts during the entire month of June on theirAdam’s Basic Face Care Kits.

Men's interest in taking care of their skin is steadily increasing. They are also aware of the importance of using safe natural ingredient products. It is not new for men to want to look well groomed. Now they are seeking healthy products to feed their skin in order to maintain a fresh attractive appeal.

Men want a no-fuss, straight forward approach to skin care. They don't need the pretty bottles or sweet aroma of fragrant lotions and cleansers-men want the basics. Garden of Eve's organic skin care line for Adam is tailored specifically to a man's needs without added synthetic ingredients that may be found in many skin care products. The Garden of Eve line for Adam uses the purity of nature to enhance the skin's surface and makes a healthier skin care routine simple.

Men's skin care needs are specific partly as a result of shaving, which not only irritates the skin, it can leave pores open to invite clogging or blackheads. Therefore methods of cleansing are especially important to a man's skin care regime. The harsh effect of shaving can also leave the skin with a dull appearance. This can be remedied with an exfoliant clay or mud mask that will bring a smooth toned healthy appearance to the skin.

Whether skin tends to be oily or dry and sensitive it requires care that will encourage it toward balance. Working with natural ingredient products that are formulated to assist the skin to find its proper balance will bring the desired results of smooth, fresh attractive looking skin.

Simple Steps to healthy looking attractive skin:

Step 1: Cleansing

Cleansing for men needs to be gentle, even soothing, yet cleanse deep. This can be accomplished with a clay or cream cleanser that caters to Men's skin care needs - irritation, large pores, oily or dry-sensitive skin. Synthetic chemicals are harsh on the skin. They can strip and irritate skin or cause clogged pores. Scrubs and Mud Masks provide deeper cleansing designed to exfoliate and tone the skin’s surface and pores. They can also help prevent ingrown hairs and blackheads from forming.

Step 2:Shave

Shaving Cream - Shaving can irritate the skin, cause bumps and enlarged pores which can lead to clogged pores or black heads. It is best to use shaving creams that are made without toxic foaming agents and other harsh synthetic chemicals that can cause irritation.

After Shave -Toner - After shaving apply an After Shave Toner that will soothe irritations from shaving. This is a final aspect of cleansing as well as a primary aspect of hydrating and toning the pores. It should restore balance and replenish the skin for a handsome smooth appearance. Note: avoid alcohol- based after shave products, they can irritate the skin.

Step 3: Moisturize

Moisturizers for Men - A quality moisturizer cream should be light on the skin yet rich with replenishing skin care ingredients that also hydrate and protect the skin. Properly selected botanical extracts and essential oils will provide excellent healthy skin care benefits. These ingredients do not have overpowering scents that linger. They are gentle to the skin and subtle to the nose.

Eye Cream - The area around the eyes tends to show signs of aging, appearing dry, devitalized and wrinkled sooner than the rest of the face. Therefore caring for the area around the eyes can make the most significant improvement in appearance, keeping you looking fresh, healthy and attractive. The eye area has the most sensitive skin. It is essential to use a quality eye cream that is free of harmful synthetic ingredients.
Garden of Eve's skin care products for men are quick and easy to use. Because we formulate with nature's balancing plants we don't need many different products for all the different skin types i.e. oily, dry, normal sensitive or combination.

The beauty of working with plants is that when chosen properly specific plants have an extensive range of benefits. It is as likely for one plant to assist dry skin as it is to assist oily skin to find its proper balance while at the same time be beneficial for normal skin. Additionally, a plant that is known for its sebum balancing properties may also specialize in toning, softening or improving the circulation of the skin. As unusual as this may seem, this is just one of the many advantages of working with plant ingredients.
