edited by Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady

Happy New Year! Ring in 2008 by keeping New Year’s Resolutions top of mind. Whether it is a new job or a new style, most people have aspirations to improve themselves some way this year. If getting a fresh look is on the list, The Body Shop has some new products that cleanse and revive the skin while making a difference in the world. These limited edition products, made with Community Trade ingredients, can be found at The Body Shop retail locations, through The Body Shop At Home www.TheBodyShopAtHome.com or www.thebodyshop.com. .

Don’t Let Dry Skin Stop Winter Fun

Harsh winter weather is the skin’s worst enemy. The dry air of winter pulls moisture from the skin, which then tends to peel, crack and shed excessively. Extended time indoors with heat can also cause harm. Need a quick fix? Look no further than the delicate, soothing Limited Edition Japanese Cherry Blossom collection, Limited Edition Blueberry Body Butter and Pomegranate Body Polish to leave your body soft and smooth all winter.

Update Any Shower In 2008

A New Year means a new start. What better place to start than the bathroom. The Body Shop Limited Edition Apple Blossom collection offers great products that are sure to cleanse, soothe and hydrate the skin. Try the Apple Blossom Shower Gel, a zesty, fruity, green fragrance wash which cleanses and delicately scents.

Extend Holiday Aromas throughout the Year

During the holidays, ginger is used in everything from coffees to cookies. Just because the holidays are over, there is no reason to put the ginger away. The Body Shop Limited Edition Ginger collection offers this warm, spicy scent in a range of skincare products. The ginger oil helps revive muscles and stimulate circulation while invigorating the senses. Try the Ginger Scrub which exfoliates the skin, leaving it radiant and smelling delicious.

A New Year’s Resolution Worth Keeping

One of the most popular activities this time of year is the New Year’s Resolution list. For those who are looking to help the environment, The Body Shop Bag for Life ($5.00) is the perfect solution. This stylish, long-lasting bag is a great way to tote around make-up, groceries or school books. The Bag for Life is constructed of durable canvas and is re-usable, making it environmentally friendly. In addition, $2.00 from each bag sold goes to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence as part of The Body Shop Stop Violence in the Home program.

Community Trade is a special purchasing program created by The Body Shop, sourcing natural ingredients and accessory items from marginalized communities across the world, ensuring suppliers get a fair deal.
