Hello all,, it would seem that the buzz of the pumpkin bar has hit Simply Mazzara's LLC.. no wonder, the ingredients of the pumpkin alone are amazing..  On www.Wellnesstoday.com  it states;;;;;;;;;;;


Autumn is officially here, which means it’s time to indulge in everything pumpkin. Good thing this signature fall vegetable is packed with vitamins and minerals including B vitamins, vitamin C, E and beta-carotene—just to name a few. Among its numerous health benefits, pumpkin also helps promote glowing skin and healthy hair.


If you’re looking to improve the appearance of your skin and hair, then applying pumpkin treatments or adding it to your diet can help. Here’s why:


Vitamin C:  Pumpkin is a good source of vitamin C, which helps protect skin from free radical damage, such as wrinkles and even skin cancer.  Eating vitamin C rich foods also helps promote collagen production, which over time can improve skin tone and elasticity.
Carotenoids: Alpha-carotene, beta-carotene and other carotenoids are the protective antioxidants that are also responsible for giving pumpkins their bright orange hue. Eating foods that are a good source of carotenoids can help to reverse UV damage and improve skin texture.


Minerals: Potassium, copper, magnesium, manganese, and iron are just a few of the minerals found in pumpkin. Potassium helps promote healthy hair and regrowth. Pumpkins are also rich in copper and zinc, which play a big part in healthy skin and hair. Zinc helps protect cell membranes, maintain collagen, fight acne, and promotes skin renewal. Pumpkin seeds are high in zinc and easy to add into your diet.  Try sprinkling them in soups, salads, or adding them to yogurt and oatmeal. 
B Vitamins: Pumpkin is a good source of most of the B vitamins, including niacin, riboflavin, B6 and folate.  Niacin helps treat acne and improve circulation.  Folate also helps to improve circulation, which increases cell turnover and renewal.

SO I will let you all know when it is ready by posting on FB and here on our Website :-)
 
​Lets go make some soap !!

I had a blast today.. It always thrills me when a season changes. It is not formally Autumn, but I made my first official batch of "Autumn smelling" soap.. it is made with real carrots and pumpkin ( organic of course ) with a hint of clove.. I was so excited I baked a turkey for dinner.. then when I put the garbage out it was over 90 degrees. I remembered I live in Florida and  even though it LOOKED like it wanted to snow,, it was just cloudy and was going to rain due to the hurricane off the  coast.

But my day was filled with anticipation of the seasons.. wanting the weather to change but just not quite yet. 
SO back to my soap hahahah
This soap smells real yummy,, it is not my original pumpkin soap, but I would like to think I now have 2 original autumn soaps. 
I think I am getting very excited for Thanksgiving to see ALL my grandbabies and my kids and their spouses.  So I am sure that is one of the reasons I have jumped into the AUTUMN mode. 
This soap has all the best ingredients in it.. Shea butter , olive oil , castor oil, grapeseed oil , coconut oil, and a few more. All great for your skin and all very moisturizing. I will let you know when it is ready.. !!
​Happy soon to be Autumn :-)
