People like Phaedra are the single greatest attribute Bonanzle can have. She did a booth analysis for me, and went way above and beyond anything I could have expected. I just can’t thank her enough!

I highly recommend Phaedra for a tailor-made booth consultation. She offers detailed suggestions on how to create a more effective, professional selling space that will increase your sales and amplify your brand and brand recognition. Her communication and suggestions are excellent and the cost is way more than reasonable. To have access to Phaedra’s extensive and multi-platform business experience is invaluable. Phaedra works with the client in whatever area that the client wishes to improve. She will also offer suggestions and direction if the client desires. All with a song in her voice and a positive “can do drive” which really does support Phaedra’s attitude that “your business is yours to create however you would like it to be.” Professional. Positive. Inexpensive. Indispensable! Thank you Phaedra!

Are you in the chemical habit?

Well, are you? Take a look under your sink, or in your cleaning cabinets, how many are in there? Could you build a bomb with all those bottles and jars? Chances are you can!

You can "kick the chemical habit" easily, save $ and clear up some space in those cabinets, making your home safer and more natural in the process. Here are some tips for making your own right at home.

Carpet Powder - we all love those fragrances and the way our home smells afterward, easily make your own. Take one cup baking soda (absorbs orders) and add a few drops of any essential oil, I am partial to lavender, rose and sandalwood blended. Mix together well, and sprinkle over carpet. Allow to sit for a few minutes then vacuum. Wonderful! To vary this, put some herbs in a coffee grinder till fine and powdery, blend in with baking soda. Never smelled so fresh!!

General Cleaner - Easy! Orange essential oil has the power to get the job done! Add a few drops to one cup hot water, and two teaspoons baking soda, all in a spray bottle. Cap bottle and shake well! Easily cleans my stove, countertops, and bathrooms. Leaves behind a fresh, non-chemical essence.

Laundry Powder - grate up a bar of handmade soap, add one cup baking soda, two cups borax, and a few milliliters of orange essential oil. Laundry is clean and fresh!

So have fun, be creative! and Kick the chemical habit!!

Kick Winter Dry Skin

Winter is full upon us, and it means one thing for sure, dry skin. Harsh conditions can be tough on the skin you wear everyday, so here are some simple tips for nourishing your birthday suit.

  • We all love to soak in a warm tub of water. Unfortunately, it will dry the skin further. Avoid this by adding 2 tablespoons of vegetable glycerin to your bath water. Vegetable glycerin is a natural humectant (it draws moisture to itself)
  • Scrub away dead skin, and feed the fresher younger skin. Mix raw organic sugar with two teaspoons milk, one teaspoon honey, and enough olive oil to moisten the sugar. In shower lightly scrub over entire body, allow to sit for a while, rinse then pat dry.
  • Cocoa butter!! One of nature's best. About 4 ounces will suffice, melt it down slowly, then whip. Slowly dribble in glycerin while whipping, then add about two tablespoons olive oil. Allow to set, then rub into those very very dry spots where extreme moisture is needed.

Enjoy! and remember you can always find me at Bonanzle for more info or tips!
