Use natural body care whenever possible
Remember to go natural when it comes to body care. Keep the chemicals away from your body. Choose European products as they have more strict guideleines o what they are allowed to produce body care products with. Erba, San Clemente, and our website www.shoperba.com offers these products by KLEAN and 100% Pure, Mistral and Lepi de Provence. Check it out.
SHOP LOCAL
I hope you will take a moment to let me sincerely thank you for your support for my little store erba bath and body. In trying times like these, it makes one in retail be reminded how lucky we are to have true and loyal customers like you behind us.
We have always appreciated your kind words about erba, and your continued support-- it makes it all worth while.
Please keep in mind, that when you shop independent retailers in your local community you not only are helping to sustain a unique shopping experience but also helping your local community overall. Studies show that when you shop local stores like ours, $ .64 of every dollar you spend comes right back into your local community. When you shop at big box corporate shops (like Target, Nordstroms, Walmart) ONLY $ .14 cents on the dollar is reinvested in the local economy. That's a big jump!
I personally do my best to SHOP LOCAL! I do not want to see any San Clemente or other independent businesses with closed doors posting signs on them "out of business." I think about how I would feel walking down Main street viewing stores closed down. I do not think it would make me feel too good in any way, irrespective of whether erba was one of the economic victims or not.
We all have to get through this together... and let's face it, things are tight for most of us. I hope what you might take away from this is a simple nudge to remember that when you do shop, do your best to support the local shops who's businesses we all love, find unique, and help support the folks that live right here in town.
Please shop LOCAL! Please eat LOCAL! Please use Local services, whenever you can. Forget the big guys for now- they have corporate money behind them and can handle this down turn!
We'll...that's me on my soapbox. If you know me you will know that this nudge is not solely about hoping you will shop at erba, but ALL local stores in whatever area you live.
Again, we are grateful that you are our customer and your loyalty to erba has never been taken for granted. Peace be with you! Remember... everything will be OK! And as Obama says, remember to choose hope over fear! I know I have in my continued battle with breast cancer- and that hope gets me through day by day.
Thank you for reading.

DRY SKIN?
Don't Let The Cold Weather Dry Out Your Skin! Eight ways to maintain your skin during cold weather months...
During the winter I always feel like I can't get my skin enough moisture. I did a little research and found a few tips that could help you too!
Take fewer & shorter showers or baths.
Keep water luke warm, not hot.
Exfoliate. Exfoliate. Exfoliate. Then your moisturizer will penetrate your skin much more efficiently! Try Mistral verbena scrub or 100% Pure lavender scrub!
After you exit the shower, pat dry and moisturize your skin immediately.
Don't use soap with sulfates, they will dry out your skin. Try soaps with shea butters- like what you can find at erba, san clemente or our website www.shoperba.com.
Don't exist with the furnace on high 24/7. Lower the temp and put on a sweater. The heat from the heater will dry out your skin. (plus it will save on your power bill)
Use a humidifier. It will keep moisture in the air.
If you are dehydrated, drink water.If you would like to read more about taking care of your skin, see this article at ABOUT.com.
