Ingredient of the Day: Dea Sea Mud
Ingredient of the Day: Dead Sea Mud
What is the big deal with putting mud all over your body?
Applying ordinary, yet extraordinary Dead Sea Mud on your body has many skin loving benefits.
The mud comes from the Dead Sea based in Jordan and Israel. It has attracted many visitors from around the world for thousands of years and is known as the world’s first health resort according to Wikipedia. Due to the layout of the Dead Sea, high concentrations of salts and minerals are produced that are excellent for the skin. Its most precious resource is the Dead Sea Mud.
Dead Sea Mud contains a large range of minerals that
• improves circulation and natural skin generation
• cleanses the skin and removes any residue, impurities and toxins
• provides effective relief for skin disorders such as psoriasis, eczema and acne
• moisturizes the skin and keeps it hydrated
• gently removes dead skin cells to reveal more youthful, healthier skin
Dead Sea Mud exfoliates, cleanses and hydrates the skin all while infusing it with minerals. In addition, it helps improve the skin quality of various skin conditions thus making it a staple product for your household.
Check out our Spa Bar with Dead Sea Mud, it exfoliates, cleanses and hydrates.

New Look
What's New?!
We have been really busy in the Karess Krafters shop with creating new soaps and a new look for all of our products.
New soaps such as Avocado Mint with real avocados, Sandalwood & Vetiver with Coconut & Beer and Whipped Cream Lemon-Almond with Heavy Cream will impart extra moisture on your skin with its luxurious creamy lather. And the new packaging adds great eye appeal.
Our appearance has taken a 360 degree turn. You will find as you browse our site a more uniformed look through out. Our new labels were professionally designed and printed to give each of our products a vibrant and cohesive appeal through out our entire catalog. In addition, our soap packaging has gone GREEN. We now wrap all of our soaps with eco-friendly fiber paper with a recycled paper band and seal it with our NEW soap label. Our change in packaging took much consideration and we hope you like our changes as much as we do. **Please note, we are still working through some of our old inventory. Therefore any soaps that are clearance will be packaged in the old packaging.
Keep up with what is going on with Karess Krafters by becoming a fan of our fan page on Facebook. We advertise sales, promotions, new products, where we will be, etc. on our fan page and we want you to stay in the KNOW.
Be sure to check out our Bargain Bin. We have slashed prices on many of our soaps and lip balms to make room for the new. Once these products are gone they will not return. A few products that will be leaving are our Coconut & Lime, Patchouli and Sugar Cookie soaps along with Cappuccino, Caramel Crunch and Honey Bee lip balms.

What’s up Blog World,
I am still in prep mode as I prepare to do my first home party this weekend. I think I am over my fear of speaking in front of folks and am ready to take this home party thing to another level. I have some plans in the works but need to confirm with a few friends/business partners before going forward. Anyway, here is what I plan to do on Saturday.

2. Introduce myself and thank the host for the opportunity
3. Give a brief history on how we got started and talk about the main ingredients we use.
4. Talk about our soaps what is in them and why
5. Elaborate on our moisturizers with the emphasis on Shea Monoi and the benefits of Shea
6. Share about our Hemp Lip Balms and why we use hemp for the main ingredient
7. Mention that we have a Foot Care Line, Sugar Scrubs and Shampoo Bars
8. Will inform guest about our deep hair conditioner coming out in the Fall
9. Have guest sample sugar scrubs and Shea Monoi
10. Hopefully take orders and schedule new parties
11. Mingle, thank the guest, pack up and go
Plan to do everything in an hour and half to two hours.
I plan to bring along the following items
• Of course a gift for the hostess
• Soaps
• Moisturizers (Shea Monoi and Whipped Cocoa Butter)
• Lip Balms (Top Sellers: Coconut Lemongrass, Mango and Raspberry Lemonade)
• Sugar Scrubs
Hopefully everything will go well and it will be a taste of all the good things to come with having home parties.

What is NEW with Karess Krafters
Good Day Everyone,
As I mentioned in my previous post, I have been home nursing two broken toes. I went to the chiropractor on Friday and they put me in an aircast (thank goodness), a tight sock that looks like a stocking and said I needed to keep my feet elevated to get rid of the swelling. They also released me to go back to work on tomorrow, Monday, May 3rd.
Things are a lot better than I thought they would be. I am able to move about without the assistance of the crutches. Well let me say from time-to-time I do need the extra support from them, but not all the time. I am not fully back to myself and will not be until this aircast is GONE, but am to the point where I can do some work in the shop.
I spent all day yesterday in the shop. The new labels arrived for our Shea Monoi, Lemon-Mint Foot Balm, Soaps and Hemp Lip Balms. So of course I had to play to see how everything would look on the jars, tubes and the wrap for the soaps. The jars for our moisturizers and scrubs are the same, however the new label really makes them pop in my opinion and it does the same for the lip balms. The only packaging we changed completely was our soap packaging.
Our handmade soap is the staple for our business. It is the product that we sell the most of and generally sell 6 or more bars at a time. Therefore, we spent a great deal of time researching and asking questions about what GREEN packaging would be best for our soaps. We wanted the packaging to be eco-friendly, easy to package as sales rise and BEAUTIFUL. Therefore, we are wrapping each bar of soap like a present with 100% recyclable Forest Green Mulberry paper with a 100% recyclable chocolate brown wrap and sealing the packaging with our new oval shape labels. We hope our changes are received well as we begin to give our company a more cohesive look. In addition, in the coming weeks you will see new photos on our site with our new packaging, so bare with us as we move forward.
Til next time, stay FOCUSED on your GOALS.
P.S. Here is a picture of our new packaging, tell us what you think
