Twatting Revisited...

We used to be on the fence about twitter, and we have to say, even though we’ve learned about all the goods and bads of twatting (yup, that is our preferred past tense of the verb), we haven’t left that fence.

The to-the-second news updates on new and cool product launches are great, and even the instant celebrity gossip we receive is a true guilty pleasure, but why do people think that “two eggs for breakfast means lots of energy for the rest of the day” qualifies as a genuine news interest?

On the one hand, maybe these over sharers sometimes have something cute or funny to tweet, but had a bit of ‘twitter block’ on this particular day, but on the other hand the amount of people that seem to tweet in order to simply tweet, boggles us. Do these people just update because they feel the need to, a pseudo twitter addiction per say, or do they genuinely think this is information we are interested in?

Are we the only ones, or do you agree?

If you play the twitter game, and don’t have anything other than the weather to share right now, perhaps you could even tweet us your thoughts @SOYCULT.

Just saying!

Soy Tear Free Foaming Cleanser - Experience the Results!

I'm extremely picky with my cleansers. I need a cleanser that works effectively with acne prone skin yet won't strip my natural moisture. TSB's Tear Free Foaming Cleanser has been a perfect match, love at first use! This White Tea and Ginger Foaming Cleanser is mild enough to remove makeup from my sensitive eyes, yet has the power to completely free my skin of the day's environmental pollutants. The texture of my skin after use is incredible. It's the softest it's ever felt after cleansing, and believe me, I've tried a lot of products. Not only can I feel the difference in my skin's texture, the problem area on my chin has almost cleared of its impurities in such a short period of time. I use this product morning and night and I absolutely love the results!

SOYCULT - Always on our Minds

We, at The Soya Boutique, receive comments and e-mails daily asking for tips and product suggestions for skin care and cosmetic issues. Here's a great example from a new SoyCult member.

"Unfortunately, I need to shave my face every morning. I had this dry, flaky, itchy patch on my chin after every shave. It was uncomfortable. Alysha suggested I use this small, pod looking product on the dry patch right after I shave. It's gone and hasn't come back since. I don't know what's in this thing, but it works. I'm definitely a believer."

Stone Facial Massage: relax, rejuvenate, and reenergize

As the summer has drawn to a close, back to school/work has happened, and the weather is starting to get cooler and drearier, we all may need a pick-me-up. TSB suggests you try using facial massage stones, to relax, feel better physically, and help with aging

Using both warm and cold stones stimulate blood flow to your face, which helps to flush the lymph nodes, allowing facial tissue to absorb nutrients and oxygen, leaving the skin with an overall more positive and youthful appearance and glow. Warm stones help to improve circulation, cleanse lymph nodes, reduce wrinkles and induce body relaxation, whereas cold stones reduce inflammation and help to reduce pain. As such, it is beneficial to use both warm and cold stones, alternating, to increase circulation and blood flow to your face.

Start your facial massage by gently massaging your face, using a light yet viscose massage cream. Once your have stimulated your facial tissue and helped yourself relax, you can either use the warm stones alone, or alternate those with cold stones, placing them strategically upon your face. You may then choose to use the warm stones to give yourself a slightly deeper facial massage, working on the points in your face in which you carry most tension. Once you have completed the stone massage, you may want to leave your face untouched for a few moments, allowing your face to relax fully.

When you have completed the massage entirely, you can either choose to leave the massage cream on your face as an overnight deep moisturizing treatment, or cleanse, followed by your usual skin care regime.

Please consult a physician before receiving a stone facial if you are pregnant, suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or are under constant care by a clinical professional.

Balm Power - Now I've got it!

SoySilk Healing Balms are an absolute must-have in my daily skin care regimen. From the bathroom counter, right into my purse for everyday use, these tiny pods are complete heaven for my skin and lips. Small and compact, yet packed with organic healing powers, SoySilk Healing Balms act as a multipurpose product that will have you de-cluttering your makeup bags and bathroom cabinets in no time.

Ladies, when we hear the term “balm”, we normally make reference to a lip product for moisture and perhaps healing. Although SoySilk works its magic on dry, sore lips, it can ultimately be used all over the body for smoothing and healing benefits. Pat SoySilk “Pure Peppermint” just below the eyes and over the brow bone for a “pick-me-up” in the morning on puffy, tired eyes. This minty-fresh scent is also very beneficial for congested sinuses when rubbed just below the nose, as well as in its creases. Breathe easy all day and night! Feeling the mental fatigue at your workplace, school, or doing your chores around the house? Take a second to clear the mind by massaging “Orange Lavender Peppermint” or “Lemon Clove” into the temples for relaxation. Or how about rubbing “Orange Lemongrass Peppermint” onto the soles of your feet for a soothing, cooling treatment on sore dry feet? A perfect treatment after walking around in those heels all day! Last but definitely not least, one of my favourite SoySilk tricks, rubbing a small amount of “Tea Tree Bergamot Peppermint” over the brow bone after a fresh eyebrow wax or plucking. This soothes the irritated skin while getting rid of that embarrassing redness we normally hide behind our over-sized sunglasses.

The uses of these products are never ending, I could be here all day ranting and raving about these pocket-sized pleasures. Discover the unique benefits of SoySilk Healing Balms and let us know, here at TSB, what you’re using your balms for and some of your favourite tricks!
