Ingredient of the Month:

M A N G O  B U T T E R
(Manifera Indica)

This exotic butter is expeller pressed and rendered from the seed kernel of the tropical fruit tree – Manifera Indica (Mango) and comes directly from India.  This highly prized butter is an exceptional quality base ingredient for body care products as it has excellent moisturizing properties with high antioxidant and essential fatty acid content, and is believed to protect against UV radiation. Mango Butter is reputed to be useful for treating burns, stretch marks, scar reduction, wound healing and skin regeneration.

All Things Jill uses 100% Organic Mango Butter in several products, all on sale this month, just in time for Mother's Day! Click on any of the following to view & purchase:

    Hello? Spring?  
 

As I write this note I'm sitting in Toronto amidst rain, rain and more rain. While it's a refreshing(?!) change from the Alberta snow, it is nice to see and smell the beginnings of spring out here.  The One of a Kind Spring Show is almost at an end and we'd like to thank all of our new and repeat customers for supporting us at the show. There are some amazing artisans here, and it is wonderful to have such a great turnout despite the current economic situation.  Never has there been a better or more crucial time to buy Canadian and to support your local artisans, farmers and small businesses.

I'm excited about our Mother's Day promotion - our Sole Delight Foot Therapy Kits and Mini Spa Kits are on sale until May 4 - a great way to say 'take a minute for yourself!' to the moms in your life.

Sit back, enjoy the last bits of winter, and prepare for the sights and smells of my favourite season!

Namaste,
      Jill

Spring Cleaning!

As we were getting ready for the One of a Kind Show a few weeks ago, we realized we had some product that needed to be cleared out.  Although we have discontinued our Summer Nights scent, we still have quite a bit of product on the shelves that is all looking for good homes! 

To that end, we have set up a Clearance Section on our website where you can find all sorts of goodies (not just Summer Nights!). This section will be a permanent new addition to the site - check it out every once in a while for overstock sales, products whose labels may not be quite right, etc.

Click here to check out our new Clearance Section!


Pamper Your Body. Protect the Earth.


    Retailer of the Month  
 

Adorable Baby (Fort Saskatchewan, AB) is owned and operated by Brent and Krista Pasnak. While taking care of a newborn they realized that there was not a wide selection of products available in the area. This sparked a new idea and then Adorable Baby was born. All of the products are carefully selected by them, and they strive to bring in new and unique products that will last and be passed down for years. Carrying All Things Jill's full line of Mom-to-Be and Baby products, you might want to stop by their store to check out all the goodies they've got!

Shades of Green
Earth's Courier  

We were recently contacted by a business owner from Calgary about the possibility of using the glycerin leftover from his bio-diesel processing for soapmaking. While we weren't able to use the product because we don't make bar soap, we connected him with a local soapmaker who was thrilled to work with him.

I was, however, very impressed with his business.  Earth's Courier is committed to the environment and reducing Green House Gas Emissions by being Calgary's only courier company to use Bio-Diesel fuel in all company vehicles. They also promote and pursue environmentally friendly alternatives through the use of recycled materials and renewable energy to the overall minimization of company waste.

Their rates are competitive with other Calgary couriers and they are working hard at minimizing their carbon footprint. I highly recommend sourcing out such a company wherever you are, should you have the need.
