Mascara that's Good for Your Lashes!

Webmaster — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 22:05:58 +0000

My challenge with mascara started about 10 years ago. After using the same mascara for many years, I started noticing that my eyelids would start to swell, get puffy then they would itch, burn and turn into alligator looking skin...not a very attractive sight.

It took me awhile to put 2 and 2 together and that my mascara was the culprit. Then my search started to find a mascara that wouldn't cause a reaction. After much experimenting I believe I have found my mascara! Larenim Mineralash mascara. Larenim is excellent for senstive eyes, stays on all day, no flakes.

If you have had mascara challenges check out Larenim, I think you will be as happy with it as I am.

Available in Jet Black & Black Brown. Stop in and see our display.

Spring Cleaning, It's Not Just For Your House

Julie Raschella — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 21:44:41 +0000

Spring is a great time to give your body a break by eliminating the things that are hard on it, such as sugar, alcohol, coffee and processed foods. It's not to late to do a little spring cleaning and Lemongrass has several detox products to choose from.

Burdock Red Clover Compound can be used as a gentle change of season formula that supports the eliminatory organs such as the skin, kidneys and liver. It will help clear the skin and support the body in recovering from illness or allergic reactions.

Dry brushing the skin is an excellent way to remove dead skin cells, increase circulation, and stimulate the immune system. Dry brushing is best done with a natural bristle body brush before a shower or bath. All brush strokes should move toward the heart.

Psyllium seed is high in soluble fiber making it a wonderful bulking laxative, able to absorb toxins and excess cholesterol in the digestive system. A usual dosage of psyllium seed husks is one teaspoon mixed in an eight-ounce glass of water or juice one to three times a day. Follow the psyllium with 2 eight-ounce glasses of water or herbal tea.

Bentonite clay is a natural mineral clay that can bind with toxins in the intestinal tract. It is best used with water and can be taken in addition to psyllium seed husks. Bentonite can also be used as an external mask to pull wastes from the skin. Use it on the face, or over the liver, kidneys, or any problem area.

This is just a few of the many detox products sold at Lemongrass. We would be happy to help with your spring cleaning, so come by and make it a Lemongrass Day!

So you want to cook good gluten-free food...

Webmaster — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 04:35:04 +0000

I hear it several times a week, "my gluten-free recipe was terrible and ended up in the garbage, or my family wouldn't touch my gluten-free baking". I can't help but feel bad for their family not to mention the cost of tossing out which would have been expensive ingredients to 'experiment with'. Gluten free cooking and baking can be quite challenging, especially for those that might be kitchen challenged to start with.

Sue Gauen, author of Celebrating Food: 121 Gluten-Free Recipes for a Healthier You, has done the experimenting for you and has put together some fabulous recipes in her cookbook.

Sue will be at Lemongrass natural foods on Tuesday, April 20th from 10-3. Cookbooks will be available along with some of her mixes. See you there!

Go Goji for Antioxidant Power

Julie Raschella — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 05:34:12 +0000

The goji berry (also called the wolfberry) is a bright orange-red berry that comes from a shrub that's native to China and Tibet. Goji berries can be eaten raw, cooked, or dried (like raisins) and are used in herbal teas, juices, wines, and medicines. Research shows that eating berries, like blueberries, acai berries, cranberries, strawberries, and cherries, offers some definite health benefits. Modern science has shown that the Goji berry not only contains extremely high levels of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, but also contains many unique phytochemicals, polysaccharides, and complex compounds that scientists are just beginning to understand.

Goji Berries have been used in Tibet for at least 1,700 years. Tibetan Medicine includes these berries in the treatment of kidney and liver problems. They are also used in Tibet to lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and cleanse the blood.

Micronutrients and phytochemicals

11 essential and 22 trace dietary minerals
18 amino acids
6 essential vitamins
8 polysaccharides and 6 monosaccharides
5 unsaturated fatty acids, including the essential fatty acids, linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid
beta-sitosterol and other phytosterols
5 carotenoids, including beta-carotene and zeaxanthin, lutein, lycopene and cryptoxanthin, a xanthophyll

Julie Raschella — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 01:57:33 +0000

Donut peaches are uniquely shaped freestone peaches which look remarkably like donuts. The Donut peach is seriously juicy, the white flesh offers a delicious sweet flavor, smooth texture and a low acid content. High in vitamins A and C, these peaches are excellent simply eaten out of hand, perfect for grilling and wonderful in pies and tarts.

The Donut peach is an heirloom "open-pollinated" plant. Open-pollinated means that a particular plant can be grown from seed and will come back "true to type," with the next generation looking just like the present one. By supporting a local rare variety of peach, you are helping to preserve biodiversity and maintain diverse seed stocks for generations to come.

Donut peaches are exceptionally juicy and sweet, stop by Lemongrass and pick up a few, you won't be disappointed.
