Organic Skin Care and Moor Spa
The Moor Spa brand of Skin Care, Body Care, Treatment & Wellness products is based on the wonderful revitalizing, purifying and nutrient-rich properties of our unique 10,000 year old Austrian Deep Moor Essence. The Moor Spa brand includes over 70 pure moor and moor-based products which have been expertly formulated to cater to the needs of the modern spa professional. Organic Skin Care, is a retailer for the Moor Spa brand line of products.
Moor Spa products use 100% Natural Source ingredients. No artificial colours, fragrances or preservatives are used, nor any petroleum-derived ingredients
I got lost looking the first night I found Organic Skin Care. I was searching for a natural Pumpkin Enzyme Peel, and it led me to many sites, but only one of which I found was truly natural. Since then I have tried their Pumpkin Peel, and have enjoyed the smooth soft skin it leaves me with. Pumpkin Peels are great for smoker’s skin, which is usually dehydrated on top but oily underneath. Now I am not a smoker, but that is what my skin was going through when I was using Benzoyl Peroxide. It effectively removed the dead skin, that was drying my face, and making me look older then I am.
It does this by utilizing these key ingredients:
Every product made by Moor Spa, includes Moor Mud. Moor is a rare form of nutrient-rich peat created by the gradual transformation of herbs, plants & flowers which have been permanently submerged under water or underground.
Free from the decaying effects of oxygen and in the correct climatic and biological conditions, the plant matter undergoes a ‘ripening’ process over thousands of years into a rich, black substance. During this process all of the organic and inorganic substances within the plants are assimilated into the Moor resulting in a herbal complex with wonderful therapeutic properties. Just look at the nutrients found in Moor.
Moor has been a part of traditional medical folklore throughout many parts of Central Europe for centuries. During the past 60 years, a wealth of clinical studies conducted on Moor therapy has confirmed that Moor indeed does possess a wide range of beneficial properties.
Moor Mud has been used in several of these areas:
- Facials: Specialty treatments for all skin types and a wide range of applications including anti-aging, acne / problem skin, pore-refining, whitening, deep cleansing, smoothing etc.
- Hydrotherapy: A profoundly relaxing and restorative experience both for the skin and the
whole body. This can be used as a therapy for helping to relieve the symptoms of many health problems.
- Body Wrap: A range of treatments using moor, algae, gels and salt glows purify & revitalize.Used at spas worldwide as an aid in the treatment of cellulite, weight loss, stretch-marks & scar tissue.
- Body Pack: Uses the moor’s thermal properties to help relieve joint / muscle soreness, back pain and sports injuries.
- Hair & Scalp: Wonderful for devitalized or damaged hair. Helps to re-establish natural balance in the hair and scalp and also helps to prevent hair loss by supporting blood flow to the follicles.
- Detoxification: An important factor in health care maintenance and anti-aging. Combining the Herbal Bath and Supplements at home may help to purify the body both externally and internally.
- Hand / Foot: Puts life back into tired hands or feet. Softens callouses, helps to improve circulation and revitalizes neglected skin. Can be combined with a manicure, pedicure or reflexology.
- Massage: The Massage Lotion and Balm are excellent tools for combining the benefits of massage with moor- and aromatherapy.
I was also able to sample their Tension Balm. Oh sweet relief! So nice to be able to use a product that truly relieves tension, but doesn’t contain any ingredients that sounds even the slight bit sketchy to me.
Soothes muscle tension in the head (temples), neck and shoulders. Great for migraine.
In spite of growing evidence of their potentially harmful effects the vast majority of skin-care products still contain artificial preservatives, colors or fragrances; and petroleum-derivatives such as propylene glycol, PEG and mineral oil. Even products described as “organic” or “natural” often contain these synthetic ingredients.
Moor Spa Skin-Care products include a 100% natural source guarantee, signed by the company President, providing information on the source of every ingredient. This gives you the confidence to know that what you are offering your clients is wholly natural – and therefore probably most healthy.
I have a great giveaway for you today. You get your choice of either Tension Balm or their Best-Selling Skin Balm. The Skin Balm is great for cuts, diaper rash, bug bites, dry skin well you pretty much name it! It is your all over soothing Salve that every house should have on hand! The Tension balm Retails for $48, and the Skin Balm for $49.
To enter, please go to Organic Skin Care online, and tell me one product that you would like to try and why.

All the shoes on the site have been created by international designers of fashion brands that capture key niche consumer markets.
In total, the site offers fashion footwear ranging from retro-chic to sophisticated-yet-edgy to flirty-fun to stylish-versatile travel shoes. Just type in what you’re looking for and ta-da! the perfect selection of shoes will appear right before your eyes. It’s that simple.

Eau Flirt! Review and Giveaway
Introducing the first perfume that flirts for you! Eau Flirt has been clinically proven to attract men with its wickedly irresistible fragrance. Heads will turn with just one whiff of this subtle, yet sexy scent.
My take? It makes me feel a little flirty too! It has a slightly earthy scent, but for the most part just smells sexy and sweet.
The world’s first perfume clinically proven to make men flirt with women
♦ Eau Flirt was inspired by a study conducted at the Smell and Taste Treatment and
Research Foundation by two physicians
♦ The study tested the effects of 30 different single scent or combined ingredient
scents on male sexual arousal. The combination of lavender and pumpkin pie
proved to evoke the most passionate response
♦ Eau Flirt’s proprietary blend includes top notes black currant, plum, raspberry,
apple, and black licorice and lavender, middle notes of jasmine, ylang ylang, nutmeg and
cinnamon (the classic aromas of pumpkin pie), and a drydown of musk and rare
and precious woods
♦ Ingredients are all natural flower and plant essences and sourced from France,
Italy and the U.S.
♦ No animal testing
♦ Allergy tested
♦ No artificial colorings
All ingredients – sourced from France, Italy and the U.S — are real flower and plant essences, which are far more subtle and complex than the lab-created synthetics used in many modern perfumes. These react beautifully with individual skin chemistry to make Eau Flirt each wearer’s indelible, signature “come hither” scent.
And I have a bottle especially for one of you! A Full 3.4 oz bottle, just waiting to be flirted with! To enter, head over over to the Harvey Prince site and tell me something you learned, anything!

Bath Detox Recipe and Cellulite Treatment Recipes
September 23, 2009 by Karissa
Filed under Recipes: Home, Skin, Food
Detox while you lounge in the tub a dub dub! I don’t have to tell you how much I enjoy my soaks!
I do want to mention that some of the products out on the market are worth purchasing for this as well. I love my Buddha Nose Detox Bath Salts, and my new SoCal Cleanse Bath Soak and I soon to be reviewed Eucalyptus Bath by 100% Pure. They have many additional ingredients such as herbs, kelp or other algae to help aid in the detox process. I am not just telling you this because I work with them, I really do love them. I used my 100% Bath Treatment, in less then 2 weeks!!! That is why I needed to find a more eco-friendly solution, and a more wallet friendly solution too!!
***If you have the time, and resources, dry brushing your skin before these treatments, and before any shower, will really help to get your lymph system moving!***
Detox Bath Ingredients
- 1 Cup Epsom Salt
- 1 Cup Baking Soda (helps rid the chlorine)
- 1 Cup Natural Sea Salt (get the stuff that says “air dried by the sun”)
- 1/4 cup grated FRESH ginger. I place this in a tea infuser so I don’t clog the drain!
The Essential oils in this, are optional, as is the Grated Ginger. Use one or the other, don’t use the EO’s and the Ginger together!
Take the bath as warm as you can stand it. Add the salt mixture and the ginger and glide it around before you sink down. This water is good for your whole body, face, hair etc. Now soak for at least 30-45 minutes. The ginger will help you sweat, and release toxins, and as the water cools down, you will start absorbing some of the yummy goodness in 
the bath. If you prefer to use the Essential Oils below, the same rules apply for length of bath.
If you have a massage tool, like the one to the right, or something similar, you can also use that massage any areas of concern while you are soaking.
Cellulite Treatment Essential Oil Bath Blend
- 6 Drops of Black Pepper Seed oil
- 6 drops of juniper oil
- 5 drops of Geranium oil
- 5 drops of Fennel
- 10 drops of grapefruit oil
- 8 drops of lemon oil
- roughly 15 Drops of a carrier oil. I suggest Avocado oil, or Carrot Oil.
Mix this really well, and add about 1 teaspoon per bath.
Use this instead of ginger! Don’t use both. all other directions from above are correct.
Cellulite Intense Massage Oil
- 5 drops Fennel
- 10 drops Grapefruit
- 5 drops Juniper
- 1/4 cup carrier oil MIX WELL.
Use this on all problem areas every morning and every night. The longer the better, and the more aggressive the better, no that doesn’t mean bruising will help! I simply mean, don’t use a light hand!
Of course drinking lots of water during this whole process is key! You can do this baths as often as you like, but not more then once a day. You aren’t going to see results immedietly but with time you will! The Dry Skin Brushing is so good for you too!
The better your diet, full of veggies and fruits and natural fibers, and no processed foods, the faster results will come as well!
Use the bathing time wisely, deep condition your hair, smooth out your heels, put on a facial mask, or even a back mask! (i do at least one of the above and read, but I know some of you have kids! maybe you can read to them from the bath? lol)
Good luck!!
KOA Clothing Review and Giveaway
I never used to be much of a T-shirt gal, but now that I work at home, I would have to call myself one! I don’t want to be labeled as a Pajama wearer! Love my cute t-shirts and yoga pants to pieces!
When I stumbled across KOA I was thrilled! It seems like most of the cute tee’s I see around blogland are geared towards mothers, or maternity type wear. KOA Organic Clothing has cool, fresh designs, and they are all organic and the inks used are all water based. Bonus points!
The idea and the creations come from the KOA sisters, and they admit, the designs come from nature, ideals and even random thoughts.
An extra little bonus of fresh squeezed loved from the KOA gals, they sew a fortune into every shirt design. Hoping the fortune makes a few smiles work their magic in that beautiful circle.
I choose to review the Lion Tee. I have so many girly colored tees, I thought I would rock out some red! Isn’t he sweet? The tee fits great, I always get a large for the girls, but I could probably handle a medium, they are ladies sizes, not mens! The cotton is soft and plush, not overly thin, great for under a sweater in the fall!
If you do have a man in your life, KOA does have some nice shirts for him too!
KOA has generously offered up TWO organic t-shirts for two Prissy Green Readers! You select the style, and the size! Men or Women’s! To enter, simply head over to KOA Clothing, and pick out a shirt that you would love to be wearing right now!

Delicae Gourmet Review and Giveaway
Normally I am the queen of the CrockPot. I love being able to throw something in and forget about it. Especially in the winter months. Too cold to hit the grocery a couple (or a few) times a week, easier to stock up and deal with what you have!
Delicae Gourmet makes life a whole lot easier in these moments, and makes my CrockPot output some extremely tantalizing treats!
Take their Big Easy Jambalaya I recently tasted tested out. All you have to add is chicken, broth, sausage and tomatoes! Seriously! And if you are like me and pretty easy on the meat, you don’t have to add Chicken or Sausage, you can add some Shrimp or some white fish a few minutes before the meal is done! The Ingredients are: Rice, Dehydrated Vegetables ( Carrots, Corn, Peas, Onions, Celery, Zucchini Squash), Minced Garlic, Cumin, Cayenne Pepper, Thyme, Parsley and Black Pepper
We tried this out a few weeks ago, had plenty of leftovers and they heated up like a dream. It had just enough heat, and spice, with out being too much. I love spicy food, but sometimes if the whole meal is too spicy it can really ruin it for me. We had a nice big salad with it, but if you aren’t counting calories or carbs, a nice crusty loaf of bread would be excellent! The chicken was so moist and flavored beautifully.
We also test drove the Country French Pork and White Bean. Craig is a true swine lover. He loves all things pork, and I knew this would really please him, and I knew I would be able to eat more beans then pork and still walk away a happy lady. And I was right on the money! All I had to add was some broth, pork and tomatoes. Ingredients: Great Northern Beans, Dehydrated Vegetables (Carrots, Corn, Sweet Potatoes, Onions, Celery, Peas), Minced Garlic, Thyme, Rosemary, Parsley and Black Pepper.
This meal had great flavor and depth, and I was almost worried after it cooked all day, that they flavors would run too much together, but like I said, it still have great depth. I know I had at least 2 servings, and I rarely, if ever, go back for seconds!
The next one on our list to try is the French Bistro Short Ribs and since Craig doesn’t like corn, i am going to make Santa Fe Chicken with Black Beans the next time we have a get together. The Corn is one of the ingredients i add, but I think if it calls for it, I better add it! Plus I love Corn in Spanish dishes!
Delicae Gourmet has all sorts of other items besides helpful slow cooker meals. Jams and Jellies, Coffee Jellies, wine Jellies, Bruschetta toppings and even salad dressings and rubs for all sorts of meats and fish. And so much more! (hello Vanilla Chai Tea Jelly!)
Delicae Gourmet is offering a $25 gift Certificate to one Prissy Green Reader. All you have to do to enter, is head over to Delicae Gourmet and pick out one item (not reviewed here) that you would like to try and tell me when you would try it!
