Handmade Coffee Soap Culture of Coffee

The caffeine culture

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee, mixed in with a rich scent of pure Hawaiian Kona coffee and a blend of wonderful oils



Caffeine has been used by humans in various forms for thousands of years to promote wakefulness, mental clarity, and social interaction. It is a compound (xanthine alkaloid) found naturally in many plants, primarily coffee beans and leaves, tea leaves, yerba maté, guaraná berries, Yaupon holly, and the kola nut.

Ninety percent of Americans (including children) consume caffeine every day. It is everywhere. Coffee, teas, chocolate, blended smoothies, power and energy drinks — even enhanced waters! Starbuck’s has revolutionized caffeine use by ensuring that wherever its customers go in the world a consistently good cup of coffee and pleasant atmosphere await them. And Dunkin’ Donuts’ new campaign tells us that “America runs on Dunkin’” — and its high-sugar, high-fat Coffee Coolattas. (A small Coolatta contains 22 grams of fat, 14 of them saturated. A large has 28 grams of saturated fat, 700 calories, and 25 teaspoons of sugar.)

If you are having trouble with the idea of giving up your daily caffeine, you have good reason. Caffeine is addictive on many levels, not the least being its role in social, historical, commercial and private ritual. If you’re not sure whether or not you are addicted, take our quiz and find out.

The best things you can do for your skin

By Dr. Victor Ventura, For The Brazilian O Globo Newspaper.

Brazil is one of the world's harshest places when it comes to skin. But because we love to live here, we need to learn the skills to live comfortably and safely in our own skin.

The basics for skin care are the easiest way to start. Naturally, a good diet, exercise and adequate sleep
But beyond those key factors, the best thing you can do for your skin is to protect it, which means combating the effects of your environment with a proper natural handcrafted soap made like old fashioned times

When you're young, your skin can recuperate from almost any insult you throw at it. As you age, however, your skin loses its elasticity and ability to recover from damage. The earlier you take action to care for your skin, the more damage you will be able to prevent. You may even be able to reverse what has already occurred.


That's why it's important to understand the state your skin is in now, anticipate where it is going and have a five-year goal.
Your skin is your interface with the world, and your barrier to outside influences. It acts as a protective film that keeps the outside out, and the inside in. Because you are exposed to so many factors in your environment, a cleanser is an important and very simple part of daily care.

Start your day washing your face with a nice Greek oil soap


For everyone who wants to look great, the only route is consistency and attention to skin management. "Wash-and-wear" eventually looks worn. You can ignore your skin, but time won't.

Rain Forest Copaiba with Cocoa Butter and Tree Leaves is a choice for anti aging skin

It has been used for years by Brazilian women to enhance their exotic, tropical beauty, and in recent years American woman are discovering these secrets can help them look young and fresh. It cleans and moisturizes.

This resinous oil is rich in beta-carophylene which promotes germ-free action and is an excellent anti-acne, skin-clearing agent. The resin is extracted from the trunk of the Copaiba tree through small holes that close naturally with time.To the natives of the Amazon, the Copaiba tree offers many natural health properties which have been utilized for years. While soap in an essential for cleanliness and good health, it is not always recommended for facial care.

Some soaps, and unfortunately it is always more common, can contain enzymes famous to cause eczemas and psoriasis.. In addition to this, a chemical based product can cause the precocious usury of your body.

Soap of natural origin, doesn’t contain any chemical substances or toxins; this is because they already have inside a natural chemical essence called saponin
