L E M O N G R A S S
(Cymbopogon flexuosus )

Lemongrass is a fast growing, tall, aromatic perennial grass that grows up to 1.5 metres in height. It is native to Asia, but is now cultivated mostly in the West Indies, Africa, and Tropical Asia.

Lemongrass is known for its invigorating and antiseptic properties. It can be used used in facial toners as it's astringent properties help fight acne and greasy skin. An excellent anti-depressant, Lemongrass tones and fortifies the nervous system and can be used in the bath for soothing muscular nerves and pain. Lemongrass shares similar properties with citronella and has a great reputation for keeping insects away.

For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of visiting our little town of Okotoks, we've included an image of the Okotoks Erratic (aka: the Big Rock) at the top of the newsletter. We've settled in quite nicely to our new location and are enjoying what we hope will be the last bits of winter (although as I write this it's -20C and snowing). Thanks to all our customers for being patient with us while we've made our transition!

I'm very excited to announce a few new products this month that we've been working on for some time. Our new Thai Lemongrass scent fills our home and brings an overwhelming sense of well-being and refresh into our lives every time we use it. I do hope that you enjoy it as much as we do!

We've got new products for Moms, Babies and some great travel-size items on the site and as always, there's more in the works at our shop for the third and fourth quarters of the year.

We hope that those of you in the Toronto area will stop by and see us at the One of a Kind Spring Show & Sale from April 1 - 5 at the National Trade Centre. We'll have our full product offering with us, with some great specials for Mother's & Father's Day.  Mention that you receive our newsletter and receive a free gift with purchase at the show!

Namaste,
      Jill

Goodies for Citrus Lovers, Mom & Baby!

We can't tell you how many times we've been asked to add another citrus scent to our bath & body collection. We've done our homework, checked with our noses, and blended some fantastic Lemongrass, Black Pepper and Lavender to bring you our brand new 100% Natural Thai Lemongrass Scent. For the month of March, purchase any two Thai Lemongrass products and we'll throw in one of our Purse-Size Thai Lemongrass lotions at no charge!

At the top of the list of new products for moms is our Nipple Butter - a rich, natural salve made with organic Cocoa, Shea & Mango butters, as well as healing Lanolin.  It soothes, nourishes and moisturizes sore and cracked nipples. Not only is it available on its own, we've added it to our Mom-to-Be Survival Kit as well, and we hope you love it.

Mini Lotions and Tealights have been huge hits for us at local markets and over the past Christmas season.  We're now putting them out for you to enjoy! Available in all 5 of our signature scents (including our fabulous new Thai Lemongrass), both of these products are perfect for traveling - they'll tuck easily into a purse or gym bag and are packaged in recyclable, durable containers so there's no need to worry about breakage or spillage!

Shades of Green
One Million Acts of Green  

This season, CBC and The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos want to mobilize Canadians to do One Million Acts of Green. In partnership with Cisco, the idea behind the campaign is that one small act can make a big difference.

It’s not about overhauling your life; it’s about one act from each individual amassing to a million. It can be as simple as switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs, starting a recycling program, or walking to work. You can do one act – or you can do all one million! It’s up to you.

All Things Jill is proud to have completed 82 Acts of Green so far and reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 76600. Sign up today and start counting your acts!
