Red Flower

All of my candles ran out and so I went to rummage through my drawer of random products that I have accumilated over time. Theres a reason why I keep all this "junk" as some poeple would say, because it's good stuff that I know I could put to use at some point. I find the Red Flower candles that I got from a sales rep a few years back : Morrocan Rose and Japanese Marigold. They come with a cute little match book and smell delicious! I also find their Cherry Rice Buff and Yuzu Mimosa Wash- Score! How could I forget that I had these little treasures!?! Let me tell you that these are some of thee best products you will ever use. The quality of the products is high and used individually they are good but you get the most out of them when they are used together. The line was created to be used together as .........a ritual. It's amazing and if you can find a spa that performs the treatment I would highly recommend getting it- it's worth the money! Your skin will be so soft and moisturized not to mention you will be pampered and relaxed. Shiatsu is usually used in the treatment and every aspect of wellness and skincare is covered. As a bonus they'll usually give you the Cherry Rice Buff to take home.

The Bamboo Scrub is to die for! Your skin is amazingly soft afterwards and a little goes a long way so from a retail perspective it's a great investment. The Yuzu Mimosa Wash smells really good, has a milky texture and leaves your skin really nourished. My absolute favorite is the Lime Oil. OMG. I would always go into the treatment room at the spa I worked at and put it on my hands as a moisturizer. It's great for your skin but my favorite part is the smell. It's unlike anything; unbelievably good. They sell a a travel size pouch with travel sizes of all the ritual products (minus the soak) and it makes a GREAT gift. It's called the Sento Set and retails for around $60.00 and it's worth every penny.

I think it's difficult to decipher the good from the bad these days especially concerning products. Everyone is organic, all natural, blah blah blah, but how do you really know? Maybe it's just like the products at the drug store except it has a fancy label and fat price tag. That's why I have this blog to tell you about the things I love, the things I don't and why. These products are a good investment for yourself or as a gift for an awesome person in your life =) So if you ever come across it and the sales person is hyping it up just know they're actually telling the truth this time!

a flower ritual




everything you need is

in your head and memories,

in all that your senses provide,

in all that you’ve seen and heard

and thought and absorbed.



red flower just sits by you and

reminds you to live life and enjoy.
