When we arrived Emma (founder) greeted us with open arms. Shortly after our arrival we started the tour. I have to admit that I never got further than the terminal ill room, fortunately there weren’t any children in the beds  but that didn’t stop me from bursting into tears. Those that know me, know that I don’t deal well when children suffer. Probably one of the reasons I was told I should not be a social worker, even though I desperately wanted to. My heart really ached. Desiree continued with the tour while I took a slow walk around the grounds, I didn’t want to upset anyone else with my tearful outbursts.

From a distance I stood watching the children play, laugh and sing. They soon noticed me staring and came running up to me to show me their toys or just to say hello. I desperately tried to fight back the tears. These kids who are ill were all so happy, full of smiles and well loved.

Emma, you are doing a superb job and I wish you and your employees a blessed 2012.

Our naturally therapeutic anti-age cream is remarkable. It is definitely one of our top sellers, because you can definitely feel the difference in your skin once you have applied it. Your skin will feel well nourished and  look hydrated.

With our winning new base cream formula we have added shea butter and cocoa butter to assist with the dehydration. Almond oil delays ageing, lightens dark circles and improves the skins complexion.

We carefully selected the appropriate essential oils for this spectacular formula.  Neroli  regenerates and tones your skin whilst, Rose essential oil acts as a cell rejuvenator and Lavender reputedly slows down the development of wrinkles.

Apply to your face and neck area morning and night. Remember to include your decollete (neck area) when cleansing, toning and moisturising.

The skin is usually dull, thick and shiny. Enlarged pores are  noticeable and look coarse. Often the skin will have blackheads, whiteheads or pimples.

Oily skin can be a hereditary but can also be caused from poor diet or hormone levels.

Incorrect product use also plays a very important role.

When selecting your cleanser you need to ensure that it is not a heavy cream. After you have cleansed you need to tone to remove any excess grime and oils. Apply a moisturiser that is free from a lot of different types of oils and butter (shea & cocoa).

Avoid any products that contain alcohol.

Never overstimulate your face as your skin will produce more oil.

Dry skin is a fairly common condition, however, people are more prone to dry skin in the winter. It is often caused by the  lack of the appropriate amount of water in the most superficial layer of the skin, the epidermis. Areas such as the arms, hands, and particularly lower legs tend to be more affected by dry skin.

Dryness of the skin is affected by the amount of water vapor in the surrounding air, the humidity.

A dry skin problem can be uncomfortable. Your skin might feel tight and painful and may even look dull, red or flaky.

Tranquil Body Treats boasts an awesome range of products to mend dry skin.

Many of us never get the chance to tell our mothers how dear and special they are to us.

My mom stands by my side always.  She is my children’s guardian, a true angel. My mom is devoted to her family and loves us all unconditionally. She has the softest  heart and she is very kind. Often she is taken for granted, even by me.

A beautiful soul she is.

There are many daughters who are fortunate to be able to say the same about their moms.

I hope that someday when my children are old enough they will feel the same way about me. I hope that they will speak of me with love.
