Put your lime on ice for the ultimate kicked-up summer refresher!

This is the last call for Lime body scrub. Once the remaining inventory is gone it won't be back until next March. And since the summer heat is cranked way up we (sweetly) suggest you get some and follow this advice: put it in the freezer!! That's right. Get one (or several) of our all-natural lime body scrubs and put them in the freezer overnight. Trust us when we say this truly redefines refreshment. Use it in the morning to really wake yourself up and start the day off cool and smooth! This is also an incredible post-work pick-me-up after slogging around in the heat all day. Better than a Margarita.

Cellulite: the nemesis of summer smoothness!

How many of us can't help ourselves when we see a cover like this one while standing in line at the checkout? We just have to sneek a peak to find out who that really is in the black bathing suit with all that nasty cellulite! And it somehow (weirdly) makes us feel better to know that if even (gasp!) Britney can't win the fight against cellulite how are we mere mortals to have any hope at all?!

Here are some nasty facts about cellulite:

1) 90% of women have it! 90% (compared to 10% of men... don't even get us started!)

2) It doesn't matter if you're stick skinny, on the chunky side or somewhere in between - cellulite spares no one!

3) It can start showing up in the teen years.

4) There's pretty much NOTHING any of us can do to actually get rid of it. (If there was, don't you think the stars would be on that bandwagon?)

(Read the most depressing article ever here.)

Ok - so lipo doesn't work and neither do expensive creams and weird machines but there are a few things we CAN do about cellulite:

- Eat well and exercise regularly (yadda, yadda, yadda)

- Wear a thong. No kidding. Read the article! Inhibiting circulation with too-tight panties/hose is a no-no! So the notion of caffeine infused pantyhose devleoped by an Austrian scientist last year (for reals) is ill-conceived - don't buy them! 

- Use Simple Sugars all-natural Coffee Body Scrub! The two things that have been shown to actually help reduce the appearance of cellulite are massage and caffeine. The caffeine basically helps to temporarily block fat (see article above) and reduces water retention. Massage, which is what you do when you use the scrub, improves blood flow and circulation and has an effect in breaking down fat cells. Combining it with caffeine can have a positive impact on reducing cellulite appearance. AND IT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD!!

- Last but definitely not least: since 90% of us have it, we can just accept it and stop hatin' on it.  We can stop rejoicing when we see a celebrity with bumpy thighs. We can stop being so critical when we look at ourselves in the mirror. We can just let it go. We can enjoy our Simple Sugars just because it makes us feel so good! Right?! 

 

Those darn flippin' lids...

We placed our order for the flip-top lids over two months ago and we got a call from our supplier yesterday telling us that we would have them by next week. (And they weren't even on Shark Tank!)

So keep your fingers crossed! The very minute we have them in the door, we will post a Facebook update to let everyone know. 

 

Just in case you didn't see it...

Two weeks ago Lani was on vacation trying to sleep in and catch-up on some much needed rest when her phone started lighting up with tweets from people telling her that Mark was on the Kelly and Michael show talking about her! We had no idea, but it sure was awesome to hear what he had to say. If you haven't seen it, you can check it out here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df1lWy5lQWc
