AyurNatural Beauty Social Giveaway Week #1

Hello Friends, Fans, and Followers!

For this week's giveaway, the prize will be 1 bottle of Dabur Vatika Coconut Hair Oil 150ml!

Vatika is the Hindu word for garden and in Dabur's Vatika Coconut Hair Oil you will find a garden of herbs such as amla, neem, henna, brahmi, and more! Coconut oil is known for is deep penetration into the hair shaft providing needed nourishment. With the addition of these ayurvedic herbs, Vatika Coconut Hair Oil can aid in obtaining healthier hair. For anyone whose hair loves coconut oil, this product is not one to miss.

Although the directions state to use this oil regularly on your hair and scalp, I personally use this Vatika oil as a pre-poo prior to shampooing my hair. My hair has an on/off affair with coconut oil which is a shame, because this oil smells so rich and good!

Ok, so the winner will be announced on Friday. New prize for next week. Remember, you don't have to do anything other than just simply be a blog subscriber, Twitter follower, or Facebook Fan!

Good luck!

February Hearts Sale & Exclusive Weekly Giveaway!

Hey Everyone!

Hope you all had a great weekend relaxing, hanging out, or both. Were any of you able to get in an ayurvedic treatment? Me? Nothing for my hair, but I did mix a quick paste of amla and rose petal powders with warm water for a face mask. 20 Mins later, my face felt great! I followed with a little rose water and got right into the rest of the day. My hair is jealous of my skin now.. lol.. Its very simple to make: 1 tablespoon of amla, 1 tablespoon of rose petal powder, enough warm water (or rose water) to make a thick paste. Use any excess on your neck, avoid the sensitive eye area.


Ok, onto the point for this entry... I'm excited for a couple of reasons:

1) If you received the email flyer this past Friday, then you saw that there is a sale starting Monday through Feb. 15th! 15% Off Storewide, with a minimum $10 purchase PLUS free shipping when you order $60 or more (US addresses only)! Coupon code is ILOVE15OFF Only at www.AyurNaturalBeauty.com. While supplies last.

2) Also, in the newsletter, an EXCLUSIVE SOCIAL GIVEAWAY was announced! Strictly for our blog subscribers, Twitter followers, and Facebook fans! I will be giving away a different item (or items) each and every week through April 2nd to one lucky winner across the sites! Think that's too much? Well, if you are subscribed to all 3, that's 3 entries! Two for two, and of course, one for one. One winner per week. To be fair, you can only win once during the entire promotion. Winners announced every Friday. I'll announce this week's prize tomorrow.

So, yes, I'm excited... I hope you all are too!

New Products and New Look!

Can you believe it? I'm making a second post this month! Seriously, I am definitely working on being better about blog posts. Once a week is the new goal... I'll get there!

Ok, enough jokes. I know you're probably wondering what are those products over there to the left. Some may be familiar, but maybe not all. You're looking at the latest offerings at AyurNatural Beauty.



Emami Malai Kesar Cold Cream will be the replacement to the Emami Oil of Almond Cold Cream that we originally carried. Malai is the south Asian term for clotted cream that is made from cow's milk. Kesar is the same as saffron. Saffron is a commonly used herb in India in skin care recipes to help nourish the skin. With the addition of Aloe, and other herbs, Malai Kesar Cold Cream is ready to help fight the stress on skin caused by the winter elements. Check out Emami Malai Kesar Cold Cream today!


Jamila Henna Summer Crop 2009. The latest and freshest and just recently arrived direct from Pakistan and, as you can see from the pic, just opened and unpacked! This popular henna is the Superior Quality, super sifted henna with date stamps at the bottom of the box. The super sift will make mixing and rinsing from hair an easier step. Suitable for both hair and body art, this grade of henna yields beautiful color and dark stains. Jamila henna will be available at a low everyday price.  Jamila Henna


  

Ramtirth Brahmi Oil. This herbal oil starts with coconut oil infused with 22 additional herbs to produce a product meant to help stop hair fall, stimulate hair growth and even find use as a massage oil! Best of all, this oil is mineral oil free - perfect for those who prefer to avoid oil containing mineral oil. Available in 200ml bottles. You'll find Ramtirth Brahmi Oil on our eCrater site and, of course, at AyurNatural Beauty 

Reshma Henna is 100% pure henna, all natural with no chemicals or additives.  Reshma Henna is used as a natural hair conditioner, to keep hair soft and silky, to add beautiful color to dark hair, removes dandruff from scalp, strengthen hair to help stop hair fall, help hair growth, and as a dye on palms and feet. Packaged in 200g size, you'll find Reshma Henna today on both AyurNatural Beauty and our eCrater site.

You may have already clicked to check out the products and noticed something different. We recently switched hosting companies and put on a new look. I'll talk more about the story behind the move in an upcoming blog. For now, just know that discounts and customer logins are still the same.... with one small change... no more need for a code to receive free shipping in the US! Spend $60 and it will apply automatically! Yaaaaayyy!

Talk to you all soon....

Happy 2010!

Hey Everyone,


Let me first start by sending a warm thank you to everyone who helped make the Holiday Sale a big success! Many were new customers who had never ordered with us before, so word of mouth is getting around... again, many thanks!... Over this past season, I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable times with loved ones and took time to reflect on the blessings in their life no matter how small, taking heart and comfort in them.


With 2010 in front of us, I wanted to share just a few immediate happenings at AyurNatural Beauty.

Adding UPS shipping options

With USPS steadily raising their rates, the latest taking effect on Jan. 4th, I'm adding UPS as a shipping option for buyers who want to order more stock and not get charged so much for it. UPS should be ready to go within the coming week. FedEx may be following shortly after.

More Products

I thank those who have sent emails inquiring and suggesting products to carry. I've also been on the lookout for certain items that will be of benefit as well. So throughout the next few months you will see more products added to our store offerings. Finally, Ramtirth Brahmi Oil will be available next week. I am also serious about growing the herbal supplement section of the store. There will definitely be an increase seen in that part of the store as well.


There are some additional happenings in the works here at AyurNatural Beauty that will get revealed as the year moves forward, so stay tuned!


Again, I can't express enough thanks to those who have supported us these past few months of operation. We will strive to continue to do our best and provide excellent customer service.

Vacation Time

Vacation - I'm going to be out of town for Thanksgiving visiting family. I have one of those families that are spread out from one another and this year its been decided by the family elders that we have to come together during that time.

Therefore, although the store will be open, any orders that come in between Monday, 11/23 and Monday, 11/30 will not be processed until Tuesday, 12/01.

Please also be aware that only ayurnaturalbeauty.com will take orders during the vacation period. The ecrater site will be closed during the vacation time.

More info on a holiday sale will soon follow....

Free Shipping and Discount Codes - Updates

Hey Everyone, I know its been a while, but I had to make a post to clear a little confusion.

Recently, there were posts made regarding free shipping and discount codes working in conjunction with one another. That was accurate at the time given that was the way the system was supposed to work. Unfortunately, I quickly discovered that the automatic free shipping was implemented before discounts were applied not after. So free shipping was taking place at a lower value than it should have. Definitely too much.

Thus, I have implemented a code specifically for free shipping over $60: FREESHIP

This code will give free USPS Priority Shipping for US customers who's total is $60 or more spent when utilized. No other discount codes will be able to work with this code. Only one coupon code will work with an order.

I apologize for any confusion that may have been caused. Feel free to contact me, if there's any questions.
