The Season to be Merry and Bright
Do you have your holiday music turned on?
If not, pause reading this for just a moment and pull up some of your favorite Holiday melodies. If we may, we would like to suggest the ever-famous song from The Sound of Music "My Favourite Things." This is one of Qet Botanicals' favorite songs, since natural beauty and wholesome skin care are, as you may already know, well... our favorite things.
Silver White Winters and Skin that Glows.
The end of 2015 marks an incredibly exciting year for Qet that brings with it milestones that make us proud and honored. In April, Qet opened its first Skin Studio in Cross Plains, Wisconsin. The space lends itself to the essential simplicity of Qet's products. Upon entering, you'll likely find Qet founder and natural skincare artisan Lisa Brill and the esteemed team listening to music as they hand-craft and label each and every bottle of Qet's products.
Qet's Skin Studio, along with our existing website, brought about new discoveries of natural beauty to the masses. We touched more lives and enhanced more faces and bodies with all-natural, all-ingredient disclosed products. We received many testimonies from our inspiring Qet users - discovering how green beauty changes lives.
We have continued to learn more about natural ingredients and the impact they can have on our skin and inner health. With that, we are furthering our product line with the addition of new "favorite things". Our products are in research and development for an average of 12-24 months before we launch them. We're hoping to share a smattering of our new developments before we turn this calendar year forward. Stay tuned!
Giving back.
"It's not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving" ~ Mother Theresa. This year we reached near and far and supported the Philadelphia Covenant House, the Lupus & Sjogrens Support Group at the UW, Puppy Up, Madison, the Madison Reading Project, the Mad City Vegan Fest, and the Sparkle of Hope event benefiting the UW Carbone Cancer Center. We give when we can, and it's what really makes us thankful and appreciative of what we have.
Our favorite hits.
We can't go without mention of some of our 2015 hits.
Healing Lifestyles & Spas awarded 2015 Earth Day Beauty Awards to Qet's Lavish Serum Salve in the skincare category, and for hair, to our Nutri-Pomade & Mask with Shea & Coconut Butter. This is our third Earth Day Beauty Award. The first being for our Balancing Cleansing Oil in 2014. Hooray!
We've kept our safest ranking of in the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deepdatabase for all of our products. We've joined forces with The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics in helping to raise awareness and show people the many benefits of using our truly natural and effective treatments. Now that we have a brick and mortar location in addition to our online presence, we've become a certified Green Business for Green America business as well.
Of course, none of these things would be possible without the wonderful support and relationships we have with our Qet friends and family. Did we mention that you are one of "our favorite things" as well? Well, you are, and we thank you.
Speaking of Stocking Stuffers
It's going to be a Merry-Kit-Mas!
We often recommend to anyone who is thinking about discovering our treatments that they start with a kit. Qet's kits not only train you on just how little you need to get results, but they allow you to mix and match before jumping in for the full sized products.
At just five dollars a pop, Qet's lip care products and all-natural deodorants are our tried and true gateway to Qet and are proving to be a popular choice for stocking stuffers!
Special Thanks
Over the November 21st and 22nd weekend, we joined BRAVA Magazine at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, WI for their annual Madison Women's Expo. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting new friends and sharing the wealth of natural skincare with so many women. Our presentation on stage was so much fun, and your questions and skincare stories were truly moving! For those of you whom we met at the Expo and are new to our monthly newsletter, WELCOME!
