Basket Case

In just one week from today it will be Black Friday, believed to be the busiest shopping day of the year. We have decided to try something new at Primal Elements and create Gift Baskets this season. I like to think I am a championship shopper so I would never discourage a shopping trip, but if you get tired or need a break why not shop from the couch? Take a look at our Gift Baskets and see what fun new gifts you can find.

Have a Good Weekend,

Faith

The Fireplace

My husband just turned the fireplace on for the first time this season. (Okay, we live in Southern California so we turn on our fireplaces; we don’t light real logs). I was completely mesmerized by the beauty of the flames. I forgot how hypnotic the colors are as they dance around the logs. Our Flames soap and Flames Icon Candle captures this feeling, so please take a look at our Flames soap and candle, the colors are rich and bright and the fragrance is warm and woodsy like a grandfathers pipe. It has deep notes of vanilla and cherry wrapped in tobacco leaf. This soap and candle will warm the spirit and put you in the mood for the cooler days coming up.

Have a good week,

Dave's Dragon Dust

I wanted to share with you that I am a chile pepper farmer. I grow about 30+ varieties of Habanero and the hottest chile in the world, Bhut Jolokia ( ghost Pepper ) I make a product called Dave's Dragon Dust, which is made up of all the hottest chiles in the world. I cut and process these by hand, getting the oils from the chiles on my hands. after one session of processing, my hands burn!! So I started washing them frequently with "Ariel" that we have always had at the sink and it cuts through the chile oils and cleans the capsaicin (alkyloid that makes chiles hot) better than anything I've tried. If you have any input as to what is in your soap that contributes to this I'd love to know. I have also been passing this info on to fellow chileheads/farmers that have the same issues processing chiles. I have tried wearing gloves but just can't do it. Anyway, Thanks for your time and GREAT product!!

Sincerely,

Dave

‘Tis the Season

Football season is in full swing. I was watching 60 Minutes but when I went upstairs to change into my pajamas a cruel trick was played on me. The channel had been changed. Football was on. So that gave me my inspiration for today’s writing. Normally I don’t talk much about Football; but how about a slice of Primal Elements Football soap to decorate the bath or shower of the football fan in the house. It’s clean, fresh fragrance is a real crowd pleaser and will certainly provide enjoyment to even the football challenged folks in the house….like me!

Have a good week!

Winterfall

Last weekend our family took a trip to Chicago for a family gathering. I was checking the weather reports days prior to the trip, and I was filled with disappointment to learn that it would be gray, dreary, and rainy. I was pleasantly surprised with what would come. The rain cleared away and we experienced a virtual rainbow of colors. The leaves on the trees were the most vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow. Piles of leaves on the ground were rich browns and russet. I thought about our Winterfall soap . The colors of the season combined with the crisp fragrance truly mimic the beautiful fall days we experienced during our weekend in the Windy City.

Have a great week,

Faith
