Just what IS in your spa products?

A great many of us will be SHOCKED to learn about the things LURKING in our soaps, lotions, nail polishes, shampoos, etc!  I used to think that I didn't care...as long as what was in the bottle WORKED.  THEN, I battled CANCER!
Many of the chemicals in the products I used had been linked to NUMEROUS forms of cancer but I didn't really pay much attention until my diagnosis!  Let me tell you that going through multiple surgeries, Chemo treatments and Rounds of Radiation...those are COMPLETE game changers...or they were for ME!
I'd like to SAVE you from the horror of the cancer experience and Lemongrass Spa is just one way I can do that...giving back to women and changing lives!  Who knew NATURAL could be blissfully elegant, fun, and safe?  I always thought those little chicks with their "natural products" were Tambourine ringing hippies!  NO LIE!  I wanted NOTHING to do with them OR their products.  But TIMES CHANGE...and so do we.
I want to live and live fully.  I want to be here for my husband and children for the LONG HAUL!  And if using NATURAL products can help in that battle, I'm IN!
Listen and watch as we "SPA" at Kelli's home in Merritt Island!

Why Sheer Minerals Makeup?

Sheer Minerals Makeup is Sheerly Different!

Are you using (or have you used) a makeup that felt greasy, oily, caky, or that made your face itch, burn, redden, or just feel irritated?

Believe it or not, the cosmetics industry is NOT regulated by anyone but themselves. They are pretty much free to put whatever they want into their products, and for the sake of huge profits, they use the cheapest ingredients that are by far NOT the safest ingredients.

Ingredients such as mineral oil, petroleum, parabens, phthlates, talc, bismuth oxychloride, fragrances and carmine (just to name a few) are standards in the cosmetics industry. All are toxic to the body and are absorbed through your skin. If it’s not natural, or safe, why risk putting it on your skin… your largest organ! What you place on your skin, 8 hours later can be found in your blood!

With Lemongrass Spa Sheer Minerals Makeup, you can be certain that you are using the highest quality mineral makeup on the market. Free of all the items listed above, but filled with things that are safe for your skin… like natural mica, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, your skin will feel amazing! Our makeup does not use harmful chemicals that cause redness, bumps, itching, irritations or burning. Instead, your skin will be able to breathe, and become healthier and more radiant!
The Sheer Minerals Makeup Line includes:
  • Cover up Minerals in 2 colors
  • Concealing sticks in 2 colors
  • Mineral Foundation in 10 colors
  • Finishing Veil in Matte or Pink
  • Mineral Blush or Bronzer in 7 colors
  • Eye Shadow in 15 colors
  • Omega Lip Gloss in 4 colors
  • Neroli Mineral Setting Spray
  • Organic Mascara
You can purchase customizable starter kits for just $49 (compared to other leading brands that start at $60 for less product… many don’t offer a starter kit so your investment is in excess of $100… and you don’t even know if you will like their product)!

Our stater kits (Light, Medium, Tan, Dark or Deep) include:
  • 2 Mineral Foundations ( I recommend a foundation and Cover-up)
  • 1 Mineral Blush OR choose a Bronzer instead
  • 1 Brush of choice (HIGHLY Recommend the Kabuki Brush)
  • 1 Veil Finishing Powder
  • Instructions for Use
  • Clear vinyl cosmetic bag
**(Deep and Dark kits include 2 blushes with no veil.)

You can contact me for more information on our Sheer Minerals Makeup Line. I’d love to hear from you!

Foaming Liquid Soap

PRODUCT INFORMATION: FOAMING LIQUID SOAP

Less is more with this fabulous sink soap!

You will want to keep a differing flavor at every sink in your home, and deciding which one to choose is the problem! They all smell so amazing!  Our favorite for the Kitchen is the Tea Tree and Citrus...for it's versatility (can be used as a vegetable wash and for dishes) as well as for it's GERM KILLING POWER!  My husband is a Firefighter/Paramedic and it was important that when we switched to natural products, that we NOT compromise germ killing power at the sink!  This Soap made it EASY to switch to natural and not have to compromise ANYTHING!




These soaps are made from coconut oil, olive oil, honey, Borax~which is gentle, biodegradable and nontoxic.

They come in a foaming bottle and can be refilled with our refill bottles (8 oz., 16 oz., or 32 oz.)  We get the 32oz refills and they seem to last FOREVER!

*My mother suffered from sever dry, bleeding, cracked skin on her finger tips.  We switched her to NATURAL hand soap and gave her this little on the go pump with her Spearmint Eucalyptus.  Now, her hands and soft, smooth and NEVER cracked and bleeding!  Isn't it amazing what removing the harsh chemicals from our routine will do?!

Bar Soap

PRODUCT INFORMATION: BAR SOAPS

All of our soaps are handmade and hand cut! I recommend that you keep your soap in a slotted style soap dish so the water drains out. This will make your soaps last a lot longer since the soap will dry after each use. Our soaps contain healing plant oils to improve the condition of your skin.

What got you involved in your business and how long have you been involved?

I was with another company for about 2 years when my friend presented me with samples of Lemongrass Spa Products. I loved them and set to making a list of products to buy. My list was SO long that it was CHEAPER to JOIN the company & buy the starter kit (as it had most of what I wanted). I had NO intention of selling the products…until I got the kit and Fell COMPLETELY in LOVE! It’s SO difficult to find truly natural/organic products out there that you can love and afford BUT with Lemongrass Spa, you get all that AND MORE!!


What is your favorite part of what you do?

I love Changing Women’s lives! Having a spa party is not only fun and relaxing, it’s EYE OPENING! Women learn about new products and the harmful chemicals that could be in their OLD items. As a cancer survivor, it’s just one way I can give back to women and help pamper them & protect them from experiencing the HELL of Chemo, radiation, surgeries, and STRESS! Pampering Women, their families and friends and seeing the difference Lemongrass Spa Products make in people’s health and well-being is the greatest reward-I couldn’t ask for more!!

Do you have an office or storefront? If so, what are the hours the public is welcome?

Currently I do not have a storefront I work from my home.


What do you think is one of the most important things for a woman to know when going into business for themselves?

To be bold, step out of those comfort zones, and really focus on your customers! Oh, and don’t forget to take time for yourself! If you don’t make yourself a priority, you won’t be ANY good to anyone else…at home OR in your business!


Are there any tips you would like to share about balancing life and work?

Be sure to have file space, a desk, a QUIET place to work and a calendar. Set aside time for family, work, and self and set them in movable stone…Setting something in stone means it WILL happen…making the stone movable means you can change the time for that day!! Try not to worry or take things TOO seriously…LOVE what you do & do what you love! And if it EVER stops being fun, it’s time to stop doing it!


Is there anything else you would like to share?
