JBHomemade offers natural, botanical skin care and the gentle hair removal method called sugaring. Nature's Bounty provides a natural lifestyle, skin care and health and has been used for centuries. Our organic gardens thrive with homegrown flowers, herbs, and vegetables. In this second chapter of my life, I share a commitment with my family to live a clean, natural, self-sustaining, homesteading lifestyle here in TN.
The concept of Clean, natural living inspires each of my homemade products.
**All natural, organic ingredients! Providing smooth as a petal results lasting up to 2 weeks without the harshness of resin waxes and chemical filled depilation creams like Nair™
I use raw sugar, fresh squeezed organic lemons and a smidge of purified water. This method of hair removal dates back to ancient Egyptian times! Cleopatra herself used sugaring for hair removal even her eyebrows~ Reference 1 and Reference 2
Cut the chemicals out of your skin care routine! You will see a noticeable difference from your first use! I'm a natural, self-sustaining homesteader creating natural, holistic skin care products that make you feel silky smooth as a petal through sugar, herbal and floral exfoliation and natural hair removal.**

My booth was decked out and guests had the chance to fill out the form to ENTER TO WIN a free Organic Sugaring Starter Kit. Over 40 local businesses, bounce houses, carnival games, contests, door prizes and more!
We had a great time and got to meet many local businesses in our area.
What a sight when I pulled up to this building! Beautiful inside and out, a large private K-12 Academy in a small quaint country town in TN.
2838 Heights Circle Dr Greenbrier, Tennessee 37073.
My booth set up, Display of organic Sugar Body Scrubs, and natural, herbal infusions, Display of organic Sugaring Pastes and Gels, with demo video, instructions, and informational pamphlets.
We had a great time with everyone today at the Bazaar and Carnival, met a lot of local shoppers, men and women. I demo'd the sugaring paste 11 times and got to come home with smooth legs! 11 demo's 11 sales! Can't beat those ratios!
Some of the guests who came to my booth specifically stated that they "had heard about (or seen my post about) sugaring and was looking for my booth", seeking me out among the many other vendors attending. I even had a man come to my booth this morning who had seen my posts on the event page and explained he shaves his arms because he has tattoos. He didn't want to respond to the post because he didn't want the public to know he thinks about hair removal on his arms. (You know, it IS a subject people are a bit hesitant to talk about.) I proceeded to explain to him that sugaring will last longer than shaving and that the hairs will start growing back thinner, finer and sparser. I also explained that while the sugar is removing the hairs, it is also removing a layer of dead skin cells, which is exfoliating. This results in more vibrant color in tattoos. I demonstrated the sugaring paste on the fellow's arm, which had I'd say a good 1/4" growth. A little long, I stated. You can use sugaring on hairs that are as short as 1/8" so he won't have to wait so long between sugaring. He was absolutely amazed that it didn't hurt. He had even braced himself a little before the first application. After realizing that it just feels like taking off a BandAid™, he relaxed and let me continue with great ease and comfort. And proceeded to purchase three jars!
Remember how I always say, "Once you have that AH-HA moment, then you'll understand why I want to spread the word so much!
The most common question that is asked me about sugaring paste? "Does it work?" or “How does it work?” “How do you do it?” I also get, (whilst giving me a look like "Whatchu talkin bout Willis?") Use sugar to remove my hair? Do what now?”
There’s soo much I could go into with you, the benefits, how much longer sugaring lasts than shaving, the fact that you don’t get stubble the next day (especially on your who-ha that’s a plus ~ can you say itchy regrowth after shaving? Uughhh~), or after a shower and you get the goosebumps...doesn't even feel like you shaved at all! How about the fact that when done properly, you won’t get ingrown hairs either? Sugaring also exfoliates your skin whilst gently removing your hairs by the follicle ~from your eyebrows to your toes~ (If you’d like to know more about the history of sugaring, visit my post History of Sugaring
Ok, so are you ready to start this new adventure in an ancient method of organic, natural hair removal? Ok, lets jump right in! This picture tutorial will take you step by step by step using the applicator provided in all sugaring orders at JBHomemade (I also include a pouch of pure cornstarch and 1 oz pure aloe for natural aftercare). This tutorial covers HOW TO use JBHomemade's Organic Sugaring Paste, the ancient Egyptian method plus the applicator.
Fact #1: I added the applicator into the process because any HEAT that transfers from your fingers to the sugar will eventually make the sugar too warm to use. Using the applicator cuts that heat factor out. Keep in mind that the TRADITIONAL ANCIENT method is using ONLY your fingers. I will go over that method in another post. This one is easier to learn and I do believe easier to grasp.
For a natural, organic Hair removal alternative leaving your skin as smooth as a petal at a fraction of the cost, pain level and completely natural means it is safe for the environment. (Residue if any can be easily rinsed down the drain in warm water) ~Jen with JBHomemade Sugaring and Skincare Feel free and open to ask any questions in the comments below
