The New Green Drink for St. Paddy's Day

Forget green beer, green rivers, green eggs this St. Patrick's Day. We've got a new green drink for you this holiday! Use the coupon code at the bottom of this post for 10% off eSutras Organics' Absinthe Kit and party with the green fairy this holiday (which, as you may have noticed, is already 25% off!).


Enjoy the world's notorious alcoholic spirit, made traditionally and organically!

Absinthe was first popularized in 19th-century France and has been enjoyed through the years by the likes of Edgar Degas, Toulouse Lautrec, Picasso, Oscar Wilde & Ernest Hemingway.

The oldest technique for making absinthe is simply to steep wormwood and other spices like star anise, anise seed, fennel, hyssop, angelica root, coriander or peppermint in an alcoholic drink like beer, wine or a neutral spirit (we're talking the serious stuff: grain alcohols like vodka). Our kit provides the ingredients to make your own traditional, steeped recipes!


 

The kit also provides you information on different recipes, rituals and traditions from all over the world for making and drinking your delicious homemade absinthe.

Happy Holidays!

Mamas & Babes Love Organics

We know it's early, but we're getting ready for Mother's Day here at eSutras (you've got until May 9, if you were wondering and getting a little worried). We just redesigned some of our superb spa and home products and threw 'em together as a pampering package for moms and their little ones. Say hello to the Babies Love Organics Family Kit!

"Forty-two days of care for forty-two years ...."
According to the 6,000 year-old medical texts in Ayurveda, moms are as psycho-physiologically delicate as their newborn babes for forty-two days after childbirth. But moms have so much to do during the first months of their babe's lives that they often sacrifice their physical well-being for their child's needs. Ayurvedic tradition stresses the necessity for mutual rejuvenation - for baby and mommy alike - during this special forty-two day window, so that mama can nurture and provide for her babe and the world for the next forty-two years!

Our kit is designed with this Ayurvedic mantra in mind. It offers traditional herbal therapies for mama and babe that strengthen mutual bonding, lactation, happiness and health and provide comfort for those sensitive areas of the body most affected by childbirth.



We love the new look - colorful and rich with a classic Art Nouveau feel - but we especially love all the perks of the kit, which includes:

+ A Soap Nuts Laundry Kit: a natural, effective alternative to typical detergents; perfect for those with sensitive skin; and good for up to 30 loads of laundry. Find it here.

+ Baby Massage Oil: fantastic for baby and mom! Gentle enough for mom's sensitive stomach and breast and babies' new, young skin. This stuff rules, truly.

+ Lavender Buds Pouch: smells divine; fill any room with the calming smell of lavender. I put mine under my pillow for seriously sweet dreams.

+ Lavender Bath Salt: for mom's only; relaxing, rejuvenating and stimulating. Baby gets bath time, so mom should too! We hope these salts are tempting enough!

+ Aloe Lavender Shampoo: ultra-moisturizing. Sensing a theme? We take great pride in our 100% Certified Organic lavender buds. This shampoo's got lavender buds aplenty. It's also vegan & paraben-, gluten- and wheat-free.

+ Ayurveda Loofah: this amazing plant fiber actually helps to tone body fat and remove cellulite; not to mention it's incredibly easy and fabulous to use. It looks a little unusual, I'll admit, but its benefits are innumerable.

+ Ayurvedic Tooth Powder: a safe & effective toothpaste substitute. Definitely piques my interest and apparently it prevents tooth decay!

+ Rosemary Essential Oil: relieves muscular pain and improves memory. I think all moms could use a little bit of this aromatic extract.


Look for the entire kit soon on eSutras' website! E-mail marketing@esutras.com if you read about the kit on the blog and would like a 20% discount! And don't forget to pamper your mom this Mother's Day.
