OMG What were we thinking when we decided to do the physical moving ourselves? Now we have product in Virginia Beach and labels in Nelson County. What a mess!!!

What we do have here, ready to ship are THREE of our very best items:

*** Super Moisture Body Balm

and ****Extra Moisturizing Soap and Shampoo Bars

Soooooo, let’s have a Short Sale on these three items and maybe we won;t have as many boxes to pack on that next truck!!!

***Special prices will be listed on the web site.

***Sale lasts thru May 20th.

One of the more vivid was running over the 6 ft long Diamondback Rattler that I thought was a fallen branch. Good thing I was too lazy to get out and pick it up!!!

The most decided reason was reuniting with family and friends. I hope you will bear with us over the next few weeks as we relocate a decade plus of stuff and inventory.

To take the edge off, we will be limited in shipping orders during the next four weeks. If you need product during this time, you can contact us at blueridgegypsy@yahoo.com to find out shipping dates.

Orders for Extra Moisturizing Soap, Super Moisture Body Balm, and After Shower Moisture Spritz will definitely be shipped. Orders for other items are subject to availability.

We appreciate your understanding and will reward your patience with a Grand Reopening Sale on Sunday, May 20th.

So hold tight! We’ll be right back!!!

All the very best, Julie

Lots To Live For, Inc. is an internet retailer that sells carefully selected products to reduce and relieve the uncomfortable and unpleasant side effects caused by chemotherapy and radiation.

The genesis and inspiration for this company came after the passing of my mother and grandmother following their courageous battles with cancer. I seek to provide options and support to others who are going through exhausting and debilitating treatments.

Put simply: We recognize that you have “lots to live for” and we offer solutions to help you improve the quality of your life.

Skin Free Rx Skincare products were a great addition to our website. The skin and the scalp can become very sensitive, itchy and flaky during and after chemotherapy and radiation. Cancer patients should be very careful about the products that they apply to their skin. We were searching for products with all natural ingredients to offer our customers who read ingredient lists very carefully. Once we learned about Skin Free, we knew that the product line would be a perfect fit.

Specifically, we offer the Basic Four Gift set which includes one Super Moisture Body Balm, one After Shower Moisture Spritz, one Niaouli Butter Stick, and a bar of Skin Free Extra Moisturizing Soap. We also offer each product individually.

Soon we will be offering the Specialty Skincare Gift Set. This group of products helps repair and heal damage done the skin and scalp by radiation and chemotherapy. Included in this set are the new Healing Hair and Body Balm, After Shower Moisture Spritz, and Extra Moisturizing Liquid Soap.

I once spoke to a customer who was buying the Super Moisture Body Balm for his daughter who was undergoing chemotherapy. He was a pharmacist and had read the ingredient list carefully. He called to say how glad he was to have found this all natural product.

Another customer used the Skin Free Extra Moisturizing soap on her young son’s scalp and found that it helped soothe the itching that he was experiencing from chemotherapy medications. She was excited to have found a natural solution to his discomfort.

Lots To Live For, Inc. also carries a variety of product lines to help with other side effects. Very often, customers choose to purchase a basket of products to alleviate different symptoms. For example, we also have products to help radiation burns, mouth sores, dry mouth, and more.

Our goal is to help you feel the best you possibly can. We hope that our products will enable you to live your life normally despite your health issues.

Please feel free to visit our website at Lots To Live For, Inc.. We also invite you to become a Facebook fan.

We post interesting and informative articles and studies. We also tell you when we add great new products to our website. The Skin Free Rx Skincare Specialty Skincare Gift Set is coming soon!”

Thanks, Margot! It’s a pleasure doing business with you.

“We never use Citric Acid!”

This made me realize that a lot of people don’t understand a little bit of chemistry.

Citric acid is a naturally occurring that comes from citrus fruit. It easily mixes into liquids, making it a valuable acid. Lemons, limes, oranges and tangerines are high in citric acid.

Citric acid is used as a flavoring in Vitamin C preps and candy. It can also be used to make good natural cleaners.

Just because something has “acid” in the title doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad.

Sometimes a little acid is a good thing.

All the very best, Julie

Left arm? Yes, unfortunately unscrewing child-resistant caps to check prescritpions can leave you with arthritis in your wrist and a carpal tunnel-like syndrome that runs down your arm. It’s nerve inflammation cause by the stress that accumulates in your neck. I’ve tried non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, massage, acupressure, and topical pain relief. All helped a little, but nothing really worked 100% for me.

One of my favorite topical pain relievers is Tiger Balm, which originated in India. I loved a lot about Tiger Balm, but I thought that it could be tweaked a bit to make it a better pain reliever. So I thought for a long time about cajeput as a topical pain reliever. It occurred to me that blending cajeput with another pain relieving essential oil might increase it’s effectiveness to perfection.

To that end, I would like to announce the release of Skin Free Rx Pain Relief Balm. It smells good and it works well. My left arm nerve pain has steadily subsided to the point that I often forget to take any oral NSAIDS. That’s because I no longer need them!

If you have joint pain, nerve pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, or arthritis, I think you should try this new product. It is a non-toxic essential oil based pain reliever that will spare your stomach and help conquer your pain.

Orders will not be shipped during this time. We will re-open on Wednesday, March 14th. Any Orders placed during the downtime will be shipped beginning March 14th.

We appreciate your understanding, patience, and support!

All the very best! Julie

If you don’t know about bluum.com, you should! Bluum offers sample boxes of various baby & mom-to-be products by subscription, which I think is a really great idea! In other words, you subscribe to bluum at a really low fee to receive hand-picked samples of products for Babies and Mothers-to-be.

I was contacted by Nicole and Ann-Marie at bluum and felt like I had made friends for life! These are great people!!! Any way, they asked for a selection of Skin Free products for babies and mothers-to-be. From the products that I sent them they chose the Skin Free Sleep Tight Pillow Spritz to be included in one of their boxes.

As a matter of fact, they liked the Sleep Tight Pillow Spritz so much, that they made the theme of that box “Good Night Moon”.

Ann-Marie just sent me an evaluation of the feedback they got from recipients of the Good Night Moon box and I thought I would share that with you.

First of all, bluum selected Skin Free Skincare because 74% of their subscribers are interested in discovering wellness/beauty products.

Skin Free’s Sleep Tight Pillow Spritz was the first aromatherapy product that they sampled in their boxes and it received 90% positive feedback.

Here are some quotes from women who tried the Pillow Spritz sample:

“I’m in my 35th week of pregnancy and have really had a hard time getting comfortable and falling asleep. This scent of the spritz is so soothing and natural it calms me enough to turn off my brain and finally relax for a decent night’s sleep.”

“I’ve been looking for something like this! My 5 month old gets a little cranky at bedtime and all I have to do is spray a little on her bed and her mood goes from fighting her sleep to sweet and asleep.”

“Skin Free Sleep Tight Pillow Spritz helped during those sleepless pregnancy nights. Made with aromatherapy essential oils, a few spritzes on my pillow and I was out like a light!”

“I’ve been using mine a ton since we got it. I use it for me and my three kiddos (4, 2, and 4 months). It’s my favorite sample I’ve gotten so far! I can’t believe it has lasted so long!”

If you are expecting, subscribing to bluum is a wonderful idea. One mother wrote, “I traded in my monthly subscription to the parenting magazines for a subscription to bluum.”

If you want to give a great shower or baby gift to someone, you can order a subscription for them. And you just might see more Skin Free products in your box!

Are you having trouble sleeping? Sometimes you just need a little something to help you relax. Skin Free’s Sleep Tight Pillow Spritz works for 75% of those who try it. If you try it and it doesn’t work for you, we offer a money-back guarantee.

The best thing about Sleep Tight Pillow Spritz is that it is safe for all ages from newborn to 100+. You don’t have to take anything. You don’t feel groggy in the morning. You just spray a little on your pillow and relax!

The Extra Creamy Natural Cleanser for Sensitive Skin has been reformulated to create a more stable emulsion and is now available.

We will be adding Refill Bottles for all the Foaming Soaps .

We will also be adding a brand new Topical Essential Oil Pain Balm, inspired by my “carpal tunnel” syndrome. The formula is based on a cajeput blend and I have added a second essential oil that is proven to relieve pain.

Look for these items later in the week.

All the very best, Julie

I put a lot of thought into reformulating it because I wanted to keep it all natural, but get rid of the grease!

Here’s what she wrote:

“I am normally hesitant to try body scrubs as I never seem to get it right. For the longest time I used one that actually would create a thick and oily barrier on my skin to where the water beaded up. Gross right? I guess I thought that was normal and the way scrubs were supposed to ‘work’. So, it’s been a while since I’ve used until this simple sugar scrub caught my eye. It looked very similar to those that I’ve used in the past, but actually works. It scrubs gently, dissolves, and rinses away. There is NOTHING left behind. Water doesn’t bead up. It rinses clean and smooth and doesn’t leave behind any fragrance. I’m sold. Any other scrub I ever find in the future will be compared to this one. Simple ingredients and delivers on smooth skin- thank you!

Farrah Ritter- Owner The Three Under

Thanks, Farrah! Good luck with those three babies.

The Sugar Scrub is unusual for 2 reasons:

1) It is unscented, but it still smells great.

2) It rinses really clean and leaves your skin smooth and moisturized.

For those of you with psoriasis, you will find that the Sugar Scrub will help reduce the scaliness of the outbreak and the inflammation. Plus, when your skin is well-moisturized, you won’t have the flakiness that is typical.

It also does wonders for itchy, dry winter skin, AKA “alligator skin”.

I would love to have a personal review on every product we make. If you would like to send in your positives, the email address is blueridgegypsy@yahoo.com.

All the very best, Julie
