Spa At Home

With time tight and cash even tighter, many of us can’t afford to spend a day at the spa. We don’t have to skip the pampering all together, though! On a $30 dollar budget, you can spend a few hours relaxing and rejuvenating at home.

First you need to decide what kind of a “spa day” you’re looking for. Do you want a tropical escape? Passionfruit Guava. An energy boost? Pomegranate Green Tea. Time to unwind? Lavender Soymilk. Organix has a scent that will take you away, no matter what you fancy.

Once you’ve chosen your favorite aroma, add in some ambience. Get a box of unscented tea lights or grab a couple larger candles in a complementary scent. You’ll also need some bath bubbles, a bath bomb, or a soak, whatever you like. While you’re at the store, grab some indulgent reading, whether that’s gossip mags or a good book – whatever makes you happy, this is all about you! If it suits you, a gel eye mask is a nice touch, too.

When you get home, fluff up your bathrobe and towels in the dryer on high heat so that they’re nice and cozy for you when you’re finished. While the towels and robe fluff, light your candles and get whatever else you need (magazines, book, eye mask, etc-). Put everything within arm’s reach of the tub so that once you’re in, you can really relax.

Fill up the tub, get your bath soak going, light the candles, then grab your robe and towels right before you’re ready to get in. Have a nice, long, relaxing soak. Read, rest, unwind, enjoy taking this time just for yourself. Dip your head in the water, use some of your favorite Organix shampoo and get it washed, then add on the conditioner. If you’d like, let your conditioner sit on your hair as a mask while you relax, then use the shower head to rinse when you’re ready.

Once you’ve finished with your bath, wash and condition once more with your Organix shampoo and conditioner. This will get any bath water residue off of your hair, and will also give you some more time to indulge in the fabulous scents!

Organix shampoo and conditioner: about $14; Candles, bath soak, magazine, eye mask: all about $4 each. There you have it. Spa at home for under $30!

Have you taken your vitamins lately?


We all know how important it is for us to eat a healthy diet and make sure we’re getting all the vitamins we need. It’s easy to forget, though, that our hair needs some vitamin love, too! The same vitamins and nutrients that help our bodies thrive can do the same for our hair.

Organix Moisturizing Grapefruit Mango Butter Collection will give your hair what it needs to be shiny, silky, and frizz-free. Just like grapefruit is a “superfood” for our bodies, its extract is really rich for our hair. As always, you can count on organic extracts in your Organix products. Hair that’s nourished is easy to pick out; it just looks healthy and radiant. And when your hair looks healthy and radiant, so do you!

Relaxed and Refreshed in 5 minutes or Less!

Everyone needs to relax and refresh, it’s just how life goes. We need to decompress and distress, but we also need to drum up some energy to tackle whatever’s next. We may not be able to remove the stress from your life, but Organix Fortifying Lavender and Soymilk Shampoo and Conditioner can provide some respite from the daily grind.

The soft scent of lavender has long been known to relax and calm. And just like us, our hair could use some soothing after it’s been stressed. The organic essential oils in the Lavender Soymilk collection will provide much needed relief to your hair. And while your hair is on the mend, you can indulge in the lovely lavender scent that will surround you. Inhale deeply, exhale slowly. For those five minutes in the shower, shut off the outside world and just concentrate on the aromatherapy. It’ll do you and your hair a world of good!

Are you thinking you’d only want to use this before a nap or bedtime? It might sound like the Lavender Soymilk set is only good for unwinding, but that’s not so at all! There’s a certain something about the Lavender Soymilk shampoo and conditioner that’s really, really refreshing. The scent is just really fresh and clean. It’s a two-for-one deal. You’ll relax and de-stress, but at the same time, you’ll find yourself recharged and refreshed, ready to take on the world outside of the shower! It’s such a good feeling to be calm and at peace, and also feel ready to tackle whatever life’s going to throw at you. Shampoo and conditioner can’t solve your problems, but it sure can create a mindset that gives you a boost.

Idol Hair

With all the buzz surrounding Season Eight’s American Idol winner, Kris Allen, his style is sure to be a trend. Looking for the right products to get that semi-piecey, hand-roughed look? Look no further. Organix has just what you need!


You’ll need the Organix Revitalizing Pomegranate Green Tea Styling Mousse and Styling Whip. This technique will work for either male or female styles, too, so keep reading! Start out by towel drying hair after washing with the Pomegranate Green Tea Collection shampoo and conditioner. Once it’s towel dried, pump some mousse into your palm (with the non-aerosol pump, enviro-friendly!). Use your fingers and apply the mousse from root to tip. This gives your hair a little boost and some extra body to support the Styling Whip. Use a blow dryer to finish drying, then dip the tips of your fingers in the Styling Whip – just a tiny bit will go a long way, so use a controlled amount. Use your fingertips to comb the Whip through your hair, starting with broad strokes and tapering as you draw your hands away from your head. Rough your palms through to finish, and voila, Idol Style!
