Terressentials Organic Flower Therapy Celebrates 16 Years!
Our USDA Certified Organic Flower Therapy Facial Care system debuted way back at the 2000 Natural Products Expo.
Born out of Terressentials co-owner Diana Kaye's struggle with the negative effects of chemo on her skin, the Flower Therapy system stimulates and revives the skin with a cleanser, balancing toner, a protective lotion and cream and a gentle exfoliating fruit and flower masque.
“Chemo does weird things to your skin. It makes the skin dull. It causes skin changes and hormonal changes. My skin became very reactive yet oily.”
Kaye first calmed her skin by using the Terressentials Organic Fragrance-free Facial Care system, then looked for other ways to improve her skin. She carefully studied herbology and Chinese medicine in search of organic ingredients to wake up and invigorate her skin. Her research led her to key herbs used by women in Asia for centuries.
Through a delicate mix of Terressentials' own organic herbal extracts made in house from carefully sourced organic herbs, Organic Flower Therapy makes your skin feel fresh, bright and clean without feeling like you have layers of glop and glue on your face.
“When I think of how my skin used to look compared to now,” Kaye smiles, “Now people actually compliment me on my skin.”
Kaye points out that the same herbs that helped revive her chemo-tired skin are also great for cutting through skin damaging, oily hydrocarbons caused by pollution in urban areas.
“It makes you feel good and it really works. The herbs do what they are supposed to do. You feel good about your skin.”

Seriously Chocolate Cake
 |
| Photo and Recipe Credit: Taza Chocolate |
Ingredients:
2 cups sifted all purpose flour + 2 tbsp for dusting
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter
2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
3 large eggs
2 2.7 oz packages Super Dark Chocolate Mexicano discs
½ cup milk
½ cup yogurt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
To Prepare:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottoms and sides of two 8-inch cake pans with butter. Add one tablespoon of flour to each pan and shake & shimmy the pan to ensure the greased bottom and sides have a light dusting of flour.
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a separate medium microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate in the microwave 30 seconds at a time until no solid pieces are left (about 90 seconds). Set aside to cool but not solidify.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar at medium speed to combine. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat, scraping down the sides as necessary, until the mixture is pale and thick, about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium and beat in eggs, one at a time until well combined. When chocolate is warm but not hot to the touch, add to butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Reduce the speed to medium-low and add half of the dry ingredients into the batter, followed by ¼ cup milk, then the other half of the dry ingredients, and remaining mild. Do not over mix. Batter will be thin.
Evenly divide batter between the two greased-and-dusted pans. Shake and shimmy the pans to ensure any air bubbles that may be mixed in burst. Bake in the over for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove cakes from the oven and turn the cake pans upside down on top of a cooling rack to release the cakes from the pan. Allow to cool to room temperature.
When cakes have cooled, spread your favorite frosting
on top of one of the cakes and place the other cake on top. Frost the top and the sides. From here, you can get creative with your decorations. Regardless, cake will stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week.

Rainy Day at Terressentials
 |
It's a party here at Terressential
today! Come join the fun!
|
With hurricane Joaquin bearing down on the Maryland coast today, the people of Frederick must be hunkering down at home or at the local grocers buying all the milk and bread, because no one is shopping on Patrick St today....and the unique, exotic array of interesting objects are beginning to talk to me...Yes..talk....
The intricately carved suar wood
elephants from Indonesia were grumbling because someone had separated
them on three different shelves in the store and....
“didn't they know they we are herd
animals?!”
They were absolutely right so I moved
them together and they seem much happier.
Then the felted pen
toppers,artistically made in an an array of different animals from
gray and white adorable penguins to orange striped tigers to the
russet reindeer were wriggling and looking a bit squashed in the
glass bowl at the desk.
“Hey! Hey! Can you PLEEASE do
something about this? We need a bigger bowl! Or some of us need to go
to the back storeroom!”
What we need today is customers to
come in and give them a good home on top of a pen...for a child,
grandchild, or an ageless child like me who finds felted animals just
so darn adorable that they make me smile from ear to ear.
We have new music at the store. And
today, I have the quiet opportunity to listen to each CD. I find the new music to be awesome!
Emeline Michel, Dobet Gnahore, Valerie June, PapaWemba, Asa, and
Tangle Eye. Beautiful beautiful voices melting with the beauty of the
store. Is it my imagination or are the whimsical wall clocks from
Colombia ticking to the beat of the music? And the carved alstonia
wood bobble head sheep from Indonesia are bobbing along to the music
as well. Wait...is an earthquake imminent? The Seismic Critters born
in rural southern Mexico are bobbing their heads too! The artisans
who create these little creatures from gourds, believe they are
endowed with the super power of telekinetic earthquake detection.
Although, today, I think they are detecting good music vibrations!
It's a party here at Terressential
today! Come join the fun!
And as usual, the new and colorful
array of silk and wool scarves are calling out....
“Buy me Buy me!” What's a girl to
do....I say BUY!
