GREEN YOUR BEAUTY ROUTINE Getting Cozy
After a scorching early Fall here in L.A., we are finally getting some rain! The chilly temperatures have us longing for cozy days snuggled up trying some new at-home beauty treatments. We can't wait to treat ourselves to these soothing eco-friendly options to help us get comfy as the rain trickles down outside.
Epsom Salts Bath: If you're feeling achy or stressed, you could use a soak in an Epsom salt bath. Many Americans are deficient in magnesium, and Epsom salt baths are one of the easiest ways to boost your levels, relieving symptoms of magnesium deficiency like joint pain, fatigue, and arthritis. Epsom salts also help relieve stress, reduce inflammation, and flush out toxins from the body. Yes please!
Soften your Feet: We love a good pair of wooly socks in the winter. But what we love even more is that our favorite fuzzies keep our feet feeling baby smooth. Here's how. Soak your feet in warm water for 5-10 minutes, then use a pumice stone to scrub your heels and pads. Apply a rich moisturizer (our Argan Balm is a great tool for the job) to the tops and bottoms of feet and pull on a pair of comfy socks. We promise when you take your socks off after a few hours, your feet will be so supple.
Warm Your Moisturizer: If your house is chilly it's hard to get warm. Here's our favorite tip. Post-shower, warm a bit of your favorite moisturizer in the microwave. Make sure it's not too hot before you slather it on your skin. It will keep you feeling toasty as it absorbs and softens your skin. Our favorite? Josie's Moroccan Argan Body Oil. Try the Calm (lavender) scent, and get to relaxing!

Love the tips, thanks! What I also want to know is where to get those socks!
Josie I LOVE your products! My sister introduced me and I ONLY use Josie Maran ever since. I Love to use your Argan Oil all over my face and under eyes, after (2 mins) my Argan Oil has absorbed in to my under eyes, I use Argan Balm as my Night Eye Cream, I wake up with GREAT soft skin! I was out of the Balm, when you graciously provided us a 25% $aving$, THANK YOU!!!! ALL Christmas gift are Josie Maran, can't wait to see how very excited they are going to be with Josie product gifts!
BTW - Iesha (JMC Customer Support) is a awesome employee! WOW just LOVE your staff!
I am a fan of a good epsom salts soak myself, so many benefits. I'm a bigger fan of your products and look forward to seeing your holiday surprise on QVC today. Now I think I need Calm body oil and definitely need those socks. Any idea where they came from?
Hi Ladies!
The socks are actually just something we found on one of our favorite Tumblrs--we aren't sure where they came from. We are craving them just as much as you all! We'll let you know if we discover a cozy alternative.

Thanks for the response. I spent a good deal of time searching Etsy yesterday but no luck.
Happy Holidays.
