I rarely toot my own horn on my blog. I like to take a different approach to advertising. But, the last blog I posted happens to be the perfect set up for me to rave about Envie (on-vee-ay).
Two key points I touched on in the “Dry, Itchy, Flaky Skin” post were:
1. Dry skin needs to be slathered in a very thick moisturizer while the skin is still moist to improve the performance of the moisturizer and to help the skin retain as much moisture as possible.
2. Dry skin is better served if it is massaged rather than scrubbed. Abrasive bath accessories and scrubbing action damage the very fragile, dry skin.
And now for the pitch:
The Envie Bath and Body Conditioning Body Butter Creme is a super thick moisturizer packed with vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It certainly passes the thick moisturizer test– Put some in the palm of your hand then turn it upside down… this thick creme won’t budge! Heavy duty moisturizing ingredients include shea butter, avocado oil, marajuca oil and pumpkin seed oil. It is highly emollient, yet non-greasy which means you can apply it right before you get dressed in the morning, or before you go to bed at night. The Envie Conditioning Body Butter Creme gets my seal of approval, but of course I’m biased. 😉 Visit our website to purchase a jar for yourself and a friend. http://envielabs.com
Massaging the skin helps to improve circulation and cell regeneration. Ultimately, it is a very gentle way to exfoliate and you already know how much I heart exfoliation. Envie will be selling handmade chenille bath mitts to add another touch of luxury to your bathing experience. The chenille fabric is soft, plush and luxurious and is perfect to buff your skin to perfection. These bath mitts will be available in limited quantities, so be on the lookout– you don’t want to miss this treat!
Thanks to the dry skin post, I have a few grand ideas for new products. I LOVE what I do! Here’s to the glam life!
Not too long ago I was having a conversation with my mom that really put some things in perspective. Just looking back at my life; the things I’ve done, what I’ve learned and what I’ve always wanted to do, I realized that I have been moving towards my life purpose everyday. Sometimes crawling, sometimes walking and other times running. When you’re living in your purpose, everything comes together and you begin to see that the cliche “Everything happens for a reason” is really true.
I fell in love with chemistry in high school and took all the chemistry classes I could fit in my schedule. I’m a nerd, I know! But I’m also a glam girl. So I paired my love of chemistry and my infatuation with healthy skin and hair to choose the perfect career.
Envie began to take shape in my freshman year of college. There was a really basic assignment to give a quick speech about your career choice. I kept it short, but it was thorough… I made posters with pictures of my imaginary products, wrote product descriptions and an ad campaign. When I look back that was probably a really dorky thing to do, but that was me– putting my dreams on paper and sharing them with everyone who was [forced] to listen.
I built the Envie brand to represent me. Everything from the name to the fundamental mission of Envie is about who I am. Envie (on-vee-ay) is the french translation for desire– a spin off of my name Desiree. I believe in vanity. When women care for their outer selves it makes a difference in the way they feel on the inside. Their confidence builds and they are thus able to achieve more. I believe in health. Our bodies need more than a quick fix or concealer; our skin needs nutrition to reach its greatest potential. I believe in luxury. Everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy the finer things– Envie is among them. I believe in personal growth and development thus Envie seeks out women’s organizations to aid in their missions. I believe in giving back via my time, efforts, money and love.
I don’t represent my brand. My brand represents me. Get to know Envie. Visit our Pre-Launch site HERE
As you all know, I have been working tirelessly on launching my line of bath and body products. As with any venture I have faced some road blocks, but I trudge on! So today I am pleased to share that we have positioned ourselves for a Pre-Launch. We still have a short way to go before the official launch of Envie Bath and Body, but we saw no reason why we couldn’t offer you just a little bit of the good stuff.
The Pre-Launch was inspired by the overwhelming feedback that we received after hosting a few sampling events. You were ready to buy and who are we to deny you the chance! So this Pre-Launch is nothing fancy; just a temporary site for you to buy our products before their official release. And to show our appreciation, we’re offering some pretty deep discounts.
There are 3 campaigns scheduled for the Pre-Launch, maybe more. Your response will determine how long we keep the good stuff coming!
The first campaign begins at midnight Monday, June 15, 2009 and will run for ONE WEEK ONLY!
Here’s what we’re offering:

We are all familiar with the cliche– “First impressions are lasting impressions.” It seems that today this couldn’t be more true. Personal Branding is the concept of packaging yourself in a way that makes you marketable in your career, allows you to command attention when you enter a room and leads to an overall increase in self esteem. The goal is to present yourself in the manner in which you want to be perceived. For many of us, this is simply a matter of playing up existing attributes; for others its a ‘fake it til you make it’ undertaking.
For the purposes of this post, let’s focus on the superficial packaging; the ‘you’ people perceive at first sight. As much as I despise it, the way you present yourself has great bearing on the opinions formed by others. Excess facial hair gives the idea that you have something to hide. A slovenly appearance indicates laziness and lack of ambition… and so on. The clothes you wear, style of your hair, your makeup routine all say something about who you are as a person or better yet how others view you.
Less considered but no less important is the fragrance you wear. It is a little known fact that smell is the sense most closely related to memory. The scent you wear can invoke thoughts, impressions and memories in others as well as in yourself. Oftentimes, people wear fragrances that are a mismatch to their personality and/or goals. For this reason, I recommend adding a custom fragrance to your personal branding package. A fragrance made to suit your unique persona can not only improve your first impressions, it can also induce confidence, self assurance and assertiveness.
