I am an independent rep for Miessence, located in Terrace BC. There are only a handful of Miessence reps in the Northwest, and as one, I am looking forward to educating this area of BC about these beautiful, natural, organic products.
I decided to join Miessence because of the obvious unavailability of natural personal care products within Terrace, and all of Northern BC for that matter. I know how hard it can be to find great quality. I mean true quality. Not just a fancy package with a high price. What I am talking about is quality ingredients. Unadulturated, pure, organic ingredients, that I am not worried about putting on myself or my children. Miessence gives me exactly that. Quality, organic products at a fair price that I use on my entire family.
I have replaced all of my personal care products with Miessence pro ductsbecause I am sure that it is 100% safe and free of toxins. I use the shampoo and body wash on my 2, 4 and 6 year old, my husband, and myself. It is that mild, and smells wonderful. Im not left wondering if there are dangerous chemicals sitting on there skin after they are washed, dried and dressed. They also use the mint toothpaste that is flouride free, so I dont worry if someone swallows any. They dont mind that it doesnt taste like bubble gum :) My husband and I use the shaving lotion, deoderant, moisturizers, cleansers, hand soap, and just about everything else. Everyone also gets a glass of juice every morning with Inliven, a certified organic probiotic superfood powder. We rarely get sick, and I think it has alot to do with not just what we put into our body, but what we put ON our body.
Our skin absorbs anything we put on it. If we suffocate it with silicones, and lather it in Sodium Laurel Sulfate, and spray it with methylparabens we are likely to experience excema, headaches, psoriasis, coughing, wheezing, and any number of allergic responses. Its not because we have sensitive skin, its because we are putting toxic substances on our skin, and our skin is screaming STOP!
On the flip side, if we nurture our skin with organic ingredients like Aloe Vera, chamomile, calendula, and marshmallow, our skin will become soft, smooth and radiant. Our hair will shine. Our body will detoxify and purify and rid itself of all the garbage its had to deal with in the past. It wont be long before you notice a change and wonder how you ever used the "other" stuff.
Whether you live in Norhern BC, Eastern Canada, the US, or anywhere in the world, you can browse my online store here. You will find facts about toxic chemicals, information on how Miessence is different, browse or buy products, or even ask me a question. Id love to hear from you! Shipping is very fast and free for orders over $100. Under $100 is still very affordable at less that $10.
Let Miessence show you what true quality is. Your body will thank you for it!

Botanical Perfumes are here!!!
Our difference
miessence® Botanical Perfumes are hand-blended in the traditional artisan method of natural perfumery using rare and exquisite botanical extracts, absolutes and essential oils solely as their aromatic source. The entire cornucopia of aromatic plants are explored in our perfumes... flowers, fruits, blossoms, leaves, twigs, barks, resins, woods, roots, rhizomes and seeds are all utilised for a multifaceted aromatic experience. miessence® botanical perfumes are imbued with a depth of character and beauty rarely found in modern perfumery.
How to enjoy it to the fullest
The sensual pleasure of performing the same ancient anointing ritual that has been part of the human experience for thousands of years will create harmony in your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual self. Savour the moment as a ritual each day for the rest of your life. To envelop yourself, mind and body in a lingering aromatic experience, apply your perfume to pulse points at the wrists, neck, cleavage and behind the ears.

Synthetic vs Natural Fragrances
Natural perfumery, with a 4000 year history, is linked to nature, beauty and ritual. Not only are they aromatically aesthetic, but they impart therapeutic benefits, formulated solely with rare and expensive raw materials including essential oils, extracts and absolutes. They are simple, yet complex, being comprised of up to 30 unique ingredients. Their complexity is derived from the intricate orchestration of elements with thousands of known and unknown natural chemical compounds. Natural perfumes impart deep and complex fragrance notes with soft with subtle scent nuances that evolves over time with body chemistry. And blessedly, botanical fragrances don't outstay their welcome. They fade into your body gently and imperceptibly over time. Always fresh and fragrant, your botanical perfume simply needs an occasional top-up sometime during your day or evening to maintain your unique aromatic signature.
The brief history (100 years or so) of synthetic perfumes is linked to recent developments in chemistry. They are comprised mainly, if not totally, of hundreds of inexpensive aroma-chemicals. Their fragrance of synthetics is always consistent, with simple and pronounced fragrance notes. Synthetic perfumes have a tendency to fight your natural scent and 'sour' over time, eventually going stale on the skin.

Dangers of Synthetic FragrancesPerfumes make multi-millions of dollars for the chemical cosmetic industry. Thousands of tons of synthetic fragrance are produced each year but with very few legislative checks or restrictions. Environmental scientists and health researchers are increasingly concerned about their affects on our health as well as their persistence in the environment.
There are increased anecdotal and clinical accounts of fragranced products causing, triggering, and exacerbating health conditions such as allergies and asthma. Other concerns relate to the bioaccumulation of synthetic fragrance chemicals in human tissue and the long-term impact of suspected hormone disrupters.
Synthetic fragrances add to both indoor and outdoor air pollution. Synthetic musk compounds are persistent in the environment and contaminate waterways and aquatic wildlife.
The many reasons to anoint: do it now
Anoint your body with miessence® botancial perfumes to attract and seduce your mate, to strengthen your mood or state of mind, to boost your self confidence, or simply to refresh, energise, calm, or nurture yourself. Love yourself.

A shaving gel tesimonial...
Alrite so this is no word of a lie when I say I may possibly have the harriest faced man alive...and if he misses a couple days of shaving he gets such a painful red bumpy rash its unbearable to shave. He is also a very cheap...errr ummm...skeptical man. So when I asked him to try the Miessence shaving gel he skoffed, but humored me nonetheless.
So as he began the painful torturous job if shaving the irratated bumpy skin, he looked over at me and said "wow! This stuff actually works great!"
Now that probably doesnt sound like a very convincing testemonial to most people...unless you know my husband ;)
Now I have also used this and cant say enough about it! It works. It works so well, that I am throwing out any other shaving product in the house just as soon as I get a full size bottle for us (I only have the travel size for customers to sample) It gives an amazing slick layer between your skin and the razor. It hydrates and protects and smells good too. And best of all its totally safe and natural! Its definitley worth trying. You wont be disappointed. I promise :)

Botanical Perfumes coming August 15th!
MiEssence certified organic botanical perfumes are hand blended in the traditional artisan method of natural perfumery using rare and exquisite botanical extracts, absolutes, and essential oils solely as there aromatic source. They have a depth to them that synthetic fragrances lack.
True some people will be sensitive to the essential oils used. But not nearly as many people will experience negative affects, and the effects will not be so severe as with synthetic chemical fragrances, used in almost every product on the market nowadays.
I personally cannot wear perfume. I get terrible headaches and nauseous no matter how great the smell is, or how expensive the product is. Essential oils dont bother me at all though, so I am certainly looking forward to trying these botanical perfumes!
There will be a total of 6 scents available: These are just a few of the many scents you will notice in each perfume.
Love...soft, floral and romantic with notes such as frangipani, jasmine and vanilla
Wild...spicy and exotic...cinnamon, geranium, patchouli
Free...tangy, bittersweet, and fresh...bergamot, orange blossom and sandalwood
Deliscious...euphoric, comforting and sweet...bergamot, cocoa,vanilla
Brave...vibrant, earthy and green...Italian lemon, ylang ylang and oakmoss
Calm...warm, musky and elegant...geranium, lavender, clove, sandalwood, vanilla
I cant wait!

How do chemicals effect children?
A couple of independent tests...
World Wildlife Fund (UK)
30 new-born babies
Blood tests taken from the umbilical cord
Analysed for the presence of 35 chemicals
Every baby tested positive for chemicals
Chemicals found have suspected links to birth defects, genital abnormalities and
certain types of cancer
All babies contained at least 5 of the 35 chemicals
Some contained as many as 14 of the 35 chemicals
Environmental Working Group (USA)
10 new-born babies
Blood tests taken from the umbilical cord
287 chemical and pollutants detected
Average body burden was 200 chemicals
Of the 287 chemicals detected:
180 cause cancer in humans or animals
217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system
208 cause birth defects or abnormal development in animal tests
These are some specific things found in the cord blood...
perfumes
plasticisers
tin can linings
cleaning fluids
flame retardants
cosmetic ingredients
chemicals from baby bottles
non stick and water-proof coatings
non-stick chemicals flame-retardants
banned, yet persistent, pesticides such as DDT
artificial musks used in cosmetics and cleaning products
Just to give you a quick example"
Childrens berry flavored toothpaste ingredients:
Sorbitol
Water
Hydrated Silica
Sodium Laureth Sulphate
Flavour
PEG-12
Cellulose Gum
Cocamidopropyl Betaine
Sodium Saccharin
Aspartame
Sodium Fluoride

FD& C Blue no. 1
Looks a little scary right?
Lets break it down a little further to see whats REALLY in there...
Sodium Laureth Sulfate
Ethoxylated emulsifier.
Made with carcinogens:
• Dioxane
• Ethylene Oxide
Can cause the formation
of nitrosamines
Toxic to aquatic species
Artificial colors
Artificial Colours.
Associated with:
ADHD
Allergic reactions
PEG 12
Solvent, Emulsifier.
Can be contaminated with:
•1, 4-dioxane

Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, Teratogenic
May cause:
Urticaria, Pruritis, Eczema, Nausea,
Diarrhea, Headache
Aspartame
Artificial Sweetener.
Prepared from phenylalanine and
aspartic acid;
Breaks down to methanol then
formaldehyde in the body.
No wonder they suggest adult supervision while brushing teeth!
Now the good news! There is an alternative for almost every chemical laden product out there.
