"Hi,
I just wanted to send a huge thank you to your company for everything that you do. I've been making the majority of my own bodycare products for about the last year or so, but so far have been unable to find a good formula for facial care products, with the exception of toner. I was distraught that I may have to return to using commericlal products in the meantime. I have very high standards, and even the "natural" and organic products lines available typically had something in them that I wanted to avoid, not to mention having to buy new plastic containers each time I ran out. I was getting incredibly frustrated that I couldn't find a company that was as committed to natural and holistic principles as I was.
And then, I found your company. You had everything I was looking for, and more. From being made in Canada, using fresh organic and fairtrade ingredients, and adopting animal rights policies, right down to the glass bottles! I was ecstatic, and plan to use your product for many years to come. It makes my skin feel great and soothes my conscience. And not only do you make great skin care products, but you also produce quality ingredients of the same high standards, which I use in my own formulas.
So, in short, I just wanted to say thank you for all the work that your company does to produce the products that you do. It is greatly appreciated by at least one person. I had been so frustrated with the situation, and this has helped restore some of my faith in commercial production.

Thanks for your time and efforts,"

"This email is long overdue.  I can’t say enough about your eye gel.  I bought it at first to help me with my dry eyes after trying everything out there and I have always known that aloe was good for the eyes too.  Anyways, I had a stye/chalazion on each eye, one for over a year which I actually thought I would have to live with for the rest of my life.  After three weeks  of using your gel it was completely gone! Two days ago I noticed another one popping up and I used the gel and it’s gone!  It’s a remarkable product and I use it sometimes in the night instead of an eye cream.  It’s also for me a natural solution for dry irritated eyes  and I use it especially in the winter when I have to stand at the bus stop waiting to pick up my kids.
Thank you and I do hope one day you can create a product for kids that’s unscented. Best Regards"

Rohini
Mississauga, Ontario

Hello Rohini:  Thank you for your lovely comments about our Organic Revitalizing Eye Gel.  It is a simple but very effective formula.  The scent you experience is the Carrot Seed Essential oil.  That oil is an important component in our formula, so unfortunately I cannot make a product for children that would be unscented and effective.  It is safe to use on children and the smell only lasts a couple of minutes...but I know kids are very fussy!

Best Regards,
Colleen 

 


 

"Hi, 

I wanted to tell you how much I LOVE your skin care products I recently purchased. I am a 57 yr-old woman who has had psoriasis for over 20 years, mainly in my scalp and in and behind my ears. It has slowly gotten more troublesome. I have, however, used very little of a huge tube of steroid ointment prescribed me by my physician about 5 years ago...I really don’t like taking steroids! I find your 'Psoriasis Blend' very helpful to my scalp and ears and a small patch of facial dryness, which is, I believe, also psoriasis. I also find the sensitive skin formula (I purchased the travel pack to try it out) very effective and kind to my skin AND I find each of your products goes a long way; I am very impressed by that aspect too!
I have a long nursing background AND I prefer natural to pharmaceuticals...so I say "BRAVO!" to you for your dedication and research to find and blend these wonderful natural products for all of us to use and enjoy, and for our ability to trust in the "no harm' (sans chemicals) approach as the underlying theme of businesses such as yours.
Thank you so much. Good luck with your continuing endeavors."

"Dear Awaken My Senses team,
I just had to write to say thank you for providing a product that doesn't contain preservatives, other harmful chemicals, is packaged in glass and not tested on animals. I see it as a win in every respect. Previously I had to settle for products that were "better" than average, had "less" chemicals and were still packaged in plastic. And the best thing? It works better than any other skincare I've tried!! And I've tried everything from cheap pharmacy brands to expensive department store brands, from Dr. recommended medicated, and even what I saw on infomercials. Thank you for bringing my skin care search to an end and doing something good for people and the environment."

"Hi Colleen,
As you know, a week or so ago, I was in what I would refer as crisis mode.  I have had a rough go of things over the past few weeks and one day my upper back went into complete and total spasm. I also was unable to breathe properly.  The pain was to the point that I thought I was going to pass out.  With the assistance of  yourself, your amazing knowledge of essential oils and their use, I actually had relief in a matter of 15 to 20 minutes. The words “Thank you” cannot describe how grateful I am. 

To all of you out there .... over the counter and prescription drugs cannot act as quickly as this treatment did. I know because I tried that... Colleen's essential oils did the job in 15 to 20 minutes!  Thank you Awaken My Senses....I am now awake!!!!!!!"

"I attended your "Creams and Lotions" class on Saturday and I have been raving about it ever since. I learned so much and don't plan to buy traditional off-the-shelf products again. Your seminar space is warm and inviting and I can't wait to sign up for the next one. Thanks for sharing so much of your vast knowledge with the class. I've been using your products for about three months now and have shared the outstanding results with many friends and colleagues. Can't wait to see what you mix up next!"

"Hi Colleen and team

I was down in Chatham, where my family is (about 1 hr west of London). I went to my favourite spa there for a pedicure and was talking with the aesthetician about products. They currently have another skin care line. I was, of course, raving about Awaken My Senses and she mentioned that she’s always looking for the perfect products. I told her I would put you in touch with her.
Thanks – and thanks for giving me back great skin!!! I keep getting so many compliments. I keep saying “You too can have great skin!!!” I’m trying to convert the entire city of Toronto!!!

 P.S. I gave the little kit of rose hydrating mist and eye gel to my brother because he’s a real product lover too. He’s a smoker and a drinker, and he gets up at 5am for work each day, so you can only imagine. About 2 days after I gave him the stuff, he said something along the lines of “That eye gel… best stuff ever!!! I woke up with the puffiest, squintiest eyes. I put some of that eye gel on and by the time I got to work I actually looked human!” And then he told me over the weekend that he loves the Rose Hydrating Mist. Uses it whenever he’s feeling a bit gross after running around the restaurant all day."

"I had the privilege of sitting in on your seminar on Saturday at Goodness Me. I enjoyed it so much, you are an inspiration! I have spent thousands and thousands on skin care products, house hold products and quick fixes for all sorts of ailments that just do not work...and since my father’s cancer diagnosis in 2006 and subsequent death in December 2008, I have been on the hunt to eliminate harmful toxins from both my and my husband’s life (as well as our dogs' lives!). I am completely inspired after your seminar to do just that! So much so, that if I could quit my job today and dedicate my life to this task...I would...and am hopefully going to head in that direction real soon. Thank you for taking your time to educate us on Saturday...you have certainly left an impact on my life! God Bless"

"My daughter has had eczema her whole life and has used prescribed hydrocortisone cream.  It is okay, but she tried your Eczema Blend, and immediately felt relief, said it is GREAT and is using it regularly now instead of the prescription since it works and feels better :)”

"Hi Colleen, hope all is well! I met you at Noah's a couple weeks ago and you were kind to share your wisdom with my mother and I about your products.

I purchased the dry skin travel set and quite enjoyed using it, and saw results in my skin which was more plump, soft and moisturized. Unfortunately, after a few days of using the products, I began to break out. Small white pustules (zits?) started showing up on my t-zone, and the odd one on my cheeks which are typically dry.
I am wondering if I am perhaps not using the products correctly, or maybe too frequently? Should I be concerned?
Your sage feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks and kind regards,"

 Lisa
Toronto, Ontario

Hello Lisa: I do remember you. You are using the product just right. What you are experiencing is a removal of toxins from your skin. That is one of the amazing benefits of using pure essential oils. The pustules are toxins being pulled out. You will need to do a steam cleanse. Using a bowl of hot water and a towel, steam your face for about 4 - 5 minutes. For quicker results, add 3 - 4 drops of Eucalyptus oil to the water. Eucalyptus is a decongestant and will open the pores. I recommend a steam cleanse every two weeks in the summer months and about once a month in the winter. Your skin will love it. We also make a "Facial To Go" Kit that includes everything you need to do your own home full facial. The product will do two facials...so you can save it for a second treatment in a month...or have fun with a girlfriend or your mom.

I know that the appearance of these "zits" is annoying, but as they say - there is a silver lining - your body is getting rid of toxins and that is a really good thing.
Lisa, try out the steam cleanse and let me know how you make out. If the "zits" come back, then the program is too rich for you and we can replace it with the Sensitive Skin set, or you can return it for a full refund.
Best Regards,
Colleen Hague

 "Hello Colleen!

Many thanks for your quick and super informative reply. That is most exciting! Although it may be a bit unsightly, I love the idea of toxins being removed from my skin! I will follow your directions for the steam cleanse. I purchased the Eucalyptus oil from Noah's the day we spoke so I'm ready to go. I will be sure to update you with my results!
Also wanted to mention that my mom has been using the products you suggested for her and she looks absolutely radiant. I am so excited that you have created this line and wish you much success! I am also spreading the word about Awaken My Senses to my friends and family.
Take care and have a wonderful weekend, Colleen!

Thanks & Regards, 
Lisa"



 

"I just want to say that I recently purchased the Dry Skin Kit and I LOVE IT! What a great product. I have very sensitive skin and psoriasis and sometimes natural products can hurt more than help. Not only are they practically unscented, they are so soothing and work so well with my skin! Just amazing. I also love the fact that you do have the trial/travel kits. I think that this is a great way to test drive a product and find out if it works for you before hand! I plan to even reuse my jars for travel by filling them up with the product from my recently purchased large bottles! Love your natural ways,"

"Hi Colleen, and everyone involved with Awaken my Senses!


I am a Fiddleheads employee, and I am writing to thank you for the free trial of awaken my senses products!
My skin feels soo soft, smells Great!, and is clearer than ever!
I love that most of your line is in glass!
I feel ok about putting these products down the drain - maybe the plants used will help heal the water!
Phenomenal!

Many Thanks,

Carrie"



 

"Hello, I am a new customer to your awaken my senses line and wanted to write you guys to let you know that it is just fabulous. Obviously I haven't seen every product out there but so far this line is the cleanest I've seen and I love that its made in Canada :)

Do you have plans to produce any cosmetics? I think that would be great. Thank you."
 
Kelly G

Hi Kelly:  thank you for your lovely comments about our products.  We currently have no plans to produce a cosmetic line.  It is a huge undertaking and we are still working on distribution for the skin care and body care products. That is not to say we won't look at it in the future!

Thanks again,
Colleen Hague



 

"I attended one of your seminars given by Goodness Me in Hamilton. It was very informative, fun, and very interesting. I have tried the natural scrubs you suggested and was very pleased with the results. I have bought some of the products and am looking to try your complete line.

I asked a question about a remedy to get rid of warts and you asked that I e-mail you for the answer.
I loved your sense of humour ! Thank you very much!"

Mary
Hamilton Ontario

Hi Mary: yes I do remember you, thank you for your nice comments. You are looking for a remedy for a plantar's wart. Here is one you can try:

Lemon Essential Oil - 10 drops
Cypress Essential Oil - 5 drops
Lavender Essential Oil- 5 drops
Cider Vinegar - 2 teaspoons

Mix all together and store in a little bottle. Using a cotton ball dab the mixture to the area. 

NOTE: tear the cotton ball into 4 pieces and use each piece only ONCE. DO NOT RE-DAB SAME AREA WITH THE SAME COTTON PIECE. This is a virus, remember - and you will spread it . 

This should help clear things up.

Best regards,
Colleen Hague
