Some feedback from our Seminars:

"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, Natalie"

"This seminar was a sellout and a huge success! Colleen's unique common-sense approach to skin care combined with her professional and entertaining delivery made for an outstanding event."

"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 loved your sense of humour ! Thank you very much!"

 


Awaken My Senses Product Demos

In addition to Seminars, Awaken My Senses schedules frequent Product Demos where our friendly and knowledgeable staff are on site, in the store -  to demonstrate our products, to answer your questions, and to help you select the ideal organic skin care products to suit your unique needs.


Upcoming Product Demos (July / August 2010)

 

Awaken My Senses will not be conducting Product Demos during the summer months. Please check back in September for our Fall Schedule!

 

 


Every Day is Earth Day at Awaken My Senses

The Awaken My Senses "Reduce Your Footprint" glass container return program.

If you are interested in finding new ways to reduce your impact on the environment, we feel the same way!

Return your empty CLEAR GLASS* Awaken My Senses product container to the participating store where you purchased it, and receive $1 off your next Awaken My Senses purchase.

We will thoroughly clean and sterilize the container so that it can be re-used to package a fresh batch of our natural organic skin care products.

In this way we help to reduce our environmental footprint through less demand for glass product and less volume going into landfills.

*our return program applies to clear / frosted glass product containers only. It does not apply to tinted glass essential oil containers.

The face of organic skin care

Colleen Hague stresses natural for her products

Vanessa Farquharson, National Post
Published: 8/20/2009 12:00:00 AM

Organic moisturizers are flooding the cosmetics market now, but how many of them would you actually eat? It sounds like a silly question but considering our skin absorbs most of what gets slathered on it each day, it might be time to start asking which ingredients are used in these lotions and what effect they have on our bodies.
