The Ultimate Valentines Day With THANN
February 12, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Some say it’s not a real holiday, others argue that it’s just another day of celebrating something that should really be celebrated everyday and there are those who say Valentines Day is just another excuse to further some corporate consumerism agenda. Whatever the case may be, we here at THANN believes that any occasion that gives us an opportunity to honour and show our love ones we care, is definitely worth taking the time to do so.
Janelle Gagne of Twenty York Street shares with you her expert tips on how to make this Valentines your best one yet! And she doesn’t mean just for your loved ones, she has excellent ideas for some self-love too! Afterall, didn’t Whitney Houston (God Bless her!) say the greatest love of all is learning to love yourself?
Read on my friends and you may just find the perfect Valentines gift this year!
Pamper yourself
Before you can love others, you have to learn to love yourself and what better way than by some well-deserved pampering? We say start your valentine’s day with a shower that’ll leave you feeling great for your sweetheart. Stock your shower with Thann’s Rice Grain Soap Bar with Charcoal and Rice (which doubles as a body scrub!) and one of Thann’s Shampoo and Conditioner sets. We swear it turns your routine shower into your own spa retreat.

A classic little black dress with punches of colour. Valentine’s day is all about red so make it the key to your outfit with butter LONDON’s Come to Bed Red, a classic cherry red, and a matching lipstick, like formulas by Revlon and my current favourite – SMASHBOX’s LOVE ME Collection for Valentines.
Set the mood with Aromatic Wood Aromatherapy Candles
Candles have a way of turning any night intimate. For Valentine’s Day (and every other day for that matter), we recommend Thann Aromatherapy candles as they are made of essential oils and burn clean. Have one at your bedside and let it fill the room leaving you and your sweetie feeling happy (here’s the secret: it’s because the orange and nutmeg oil increases energy and joy).
Aromatic Wood and Bath and Massage Oil
Whether it’s for time in the tub or for a nice massage, Thann’s Aromatic Wood Bath and Massage oil is perfect for prime relaxing time with your special someone. The oil also doesn’t leave a residue so you won’t be left feeling greasy the rest of the night. Plus it’s lightly scented, which is nice considering many oils can get overwhelming.
Here’s the absolutely fab news: THANN is currently having 15% OFF on everything!
E-VE-RY-THING is on SALE at the THANN online!
So go ahead and pamper him, her and YOU!

Got Winter Blues? THANN Has The Solutions For You
January 24, 2013 By Leave a Comment
I don’t know about you guys but I am definitely not a fan of winter. It’s as if my body knows my disdain for the season because once December hits, my skin goes dry as the Sahara desert and my hair goes dull and dry right along with it. But this year I’ve decided it was about time I started treating my body like a temple regardless of our harsh weather.
To battle the source of my seasonal blues, I started by using Thann’s Rice Extract Body Milk for my legs and elbows. I’m not usually a fan of moisturizers but this one is nice and light without leaving residue on my skin. It has a light smell if you’re the type to be sensitive to strong scents, this body milk is perfect for you.
Next up is the Sea Foam Shampoo to revive those lifeless locks of mine. The thyme and eucalyptus oil get rid of any oil or dandruff. Made to enhance dark hair while countering splits ends and reducing static charge, it’s the absolute best shampoo for the winter season.
Lastly, my lips during winter. I don’t usually have any issues with cracking lips over the winter but if you do, try out Thann’s Rice Extract Lip Balm to smooth everything out. Vitamin E, aloe, and shea butter make up this lip balm to nourish your lips naturally and it’s guaranteed to seal in moisture even when the temperature drops way below zero. I heard it is also ML’s (aka @20YS of Twenty York Street) top favourite lip balm in the whole wide world.

PASS THE OIL
October 25, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Want clearer, smoother and youthful skin this fall and winter?Facial oil might be your best bet.Though you may be quite hesitant on putting facial oil on oily skin, fear not, as this one big misconception. The concept that oils make you break-out is nothing but a myth as not all oils are created equal. Abundantly high in vitamins and antioxidants that can help prevent the formation of lines and wrinkles, botanical facial oils also have anti-inflammatory properties that soothe the skin.Inexpensive mineral oils and lanolins are comedogenic, but high-quality oils like camellia, macadamia, jojoba, and squalane are non-comedogenic and can help draw excess sebum from pores. With great emollient in their genetic make-up, facial oils can actually repair the skin’s barrier function and gives skin a firm, restored appearance.Keep in mind that there’s two types of facial oil: Treatment Oils – these are the leave-on oils that should be applied to clean skin over any moisturizers and Cleansing Oils like the NEW THANN Rice Bran Cleansing Oil. Rich in Vitamin E and Mulberry Lea Extract that naturally helps brighten the skin, the THANN Rice Bran Cleansing Oil is certified green and organic and uses only the highest quality Rice Bran Oil to thoroughly remove make up, dirt and excess oil, while maintaining natural balance of healthy skin. It is ideal for all skin types including blemish, acne and allergy prone skin.Not only that Cleansing Oils can wash away signs of blemishes and large pores and prevent signs of aging, they are the best cleansers for melting away impurities and excess sebum without stripping the skin of moisture. give a sense of well being. They’re also the most effective way to remove makeup and sunscreen because the synthetic oils and silicone in these products dissolve readily in oil, not water.Bonus point for your well-being: the scent of facial oil is very soothing and relaxing. You don’t have to be Popeye to love ‘Oil’!
