Tip of the Day

Dab a little lip balm on the corners of your cheekbones to add a liitle shine and boost moisture on your face.

Of course you need to use Dagny & Lane lip balms for that little bit of shine. Our lip balms are full of natural oils which enrich your lips with moisture. We have 5 different flavors. Coconut Lemongrass, Orange Cream, Buttercream, Blueberry and Strawberry. MMMM Good!

What's all the Balm about?

Unlike the skin on your body, the skin on your lips has no oil glands to keep it hydrated. That's where balms come in. They seal in moisture and shield against cold and wind with emollients such as beeswax or shea butter.
Dagny & Lane's all natural lip balms are infused with ionic minerals to give your lips added benefits and contains beeswax, shea butter, sweet almond oil, coconut oil and avocado oil. We add all natural sweetener to give your lips that yummy flavor! Speaking of flavors, our lip balms are available in Blueberry, Strawberry, Orange Cream, Buttercream, and Coconut Lemongrass, one of my faves.

Living Green and Organic

Did you know that organic milk is higher in antioxidants than regular milk? Organic and grass- fed cows produce milk with 40% to 50% more disease fighting antioxidants, including vitamin E, beta-carotene and lutein, than grain- fed cows. Antioxidants are nature's preservatives. They keep milk fresh longer and offer protection against some chronic conditions, such as cancer and heart disease.
Dagny & Lane products all contain organic and all natural ingredients and are full of antioxidants and minerals for total skin health.

With that said, it is time to head up to my old summer vacation stomping grounds ,Lake Delavan,Wi., for a well needed rest. I've spent many a childhood summer up here and it brings back fond memories. I was married up here 8 years ago on October 5th, 2002 in the gazebo by the lake. I think I shall visit that place with a smile on my face!

Fireworks Galore! Happy Birthday USA!

I'd say 80% of all Americans will be having outdoor picnics and BBQs today. It is a hot glorious day out there. Get ready for those guests early by making patriotic ice cubes (with blueberries and cherries inside) and also this quick snack. Dip long pretzels in white chocolate and cover them with blue and red sprinkles. The kids will eat 'em up!
Put our Dagny & Lane Youth Mister in the fridge and then use on your face and neck when those temperatures heat up. How refreshing! Our Youth Mister is full of minerals and antioxidants which fight those free radicals in the air that we don't want near our face.

July is National Blueberry Month

July is fast coming upon us, like tomorrow if you want to get down to it! Dagny and Lane will celebrate National Blueberry Month by taking 10% off our Dagny and Lane Gentle Berry Scrub.
Our natural exloliater for your face, is full of blueberries,cranberries, pomegranate, and rhubarb. Our ionic minerals also help load your skin up with antioxidant power and Vitamin C for free radical defense!
Blueberries are rich in disease -fighting antioxidants. You can eat them fresh or put them in a bluberry smoothie. Research shows that they may reduce abdominal fat and decrease cholesterol and triglceride levels.

Tip of the Day:
Rinsing berries in hot water prevents mold from appearing.
Heat water to 125 degrees F.
Swish berries in the water for 30 seconds.
Blueberries have a tougher skin so heat water to 140 degrees F. for 30 seconds.
This method will provide a longer shelf life for your yummy berries!

Edible Flowers

Eating edible flowers can boost your health, because most of them contain antioxidants and vitamin C.
Violets in garnishes and dessert are a source or rutin,which may strengthen capillaries.
Borage,which can be used in salads, can help relieve a cold or cough.
Lavender Petals, which taste sweet, may help protect the central nervous system.
Roses, which taste both sweet and astringent, may fight cardiovascular disease.
Nasturtiums, lemon gold marigold and calendula petals are good in salads and will improve eyesight and fight cancer.
So get out there in your garden and start picking flowers for your evening dinner and remember gardening is great exercise too!
Dagny & Lane Baby Products all contain lavender, which is a very calming essential oil also.
