How to cope with Winter and dry skin, The Camellia, Thunder Bay, On

Winter - for some of us, the word equates with cold, dry skin, bleeding noses, dry eyes and a whole lotta "I hate Winter!". Especially when the temperature hits  -30 or -40 C. Some of us get so fed-up that we head to the airport and head SOUTH!

Here we are at Playa del Carmen...a short hop from Thunder Bay on a direct flight with Sunwing. Sun, sand, Beach and moisture.....green living plants, Vitamin Sea, as they say. Our oh-so-dry winter skin started to feel much better as soon as we stepped into all that warmth! and let's not forget, moisture and humidity.

Lovely view from the Breakfast Room - that is a not a mural, but a real, live Coconut Palm tree outside the window. ( At Viva Wyndham Maya Resort, Mexico).

What our skin is lacking in the Winter is moisture....the plants in the above photo are getting misted, creating a moist environment in which tropical plants can flourish. It is difficult to get moisture in Winter, indoor heating systems make everything dry, and even with a humidifier on, our skin is always dry. Why do we live in a place where the air hurts your face when you go outside?  Hah...that's a good question.!

Of course it goes without saying that we need to drink lots of water - but don't you find it difficult to chug 8-10 glasses of water per day? You can also drink hot liquids, and you can juice your fav fruits and veggies. #BlissCafe offers classes in Juicing.


Here is one of the delicious juices you can make yourself , this is a Class at Bliss Cafe in Thunder Bay.


Teas made from Mints grown in your Garden are great for sipping during Winter.

Even though it's Winter you should still be going swimming and going to the sauna is a must. There are a few pools in Thunder Bay that use Bromine and not chlorine. Great for those of you who cannot stand the smell and the itching from swimming in chlorine. Click on the following link to get some more ideas on Hydration from Ste. Anne's Spa in Grafton, Ontario.


Here are our fav Skincare products that get us through a Northwestern Ontario winter! Rocky Mountain Dry skin Butter, Rocky Mountain Foot Butter, No-Crack Hand cream, and Rocky Mountain Breakout Buster. You can buy these Rocky Mountain soap products here at the Camellia, at 30, Hacquoil Rd.

Our winter skincare Kit makes a great Valentine's Day Gift, something that is appreciated all winter long. We especially are crazy about White Oak's Lavender Deep Muscle Jelly, which smells divine and helps with muscle pain. Beekman 1802 Goat's Milk soap is very hydrating for Winter skin. Call us at 475-3551 to order or toll-free at 1-877-523-7444, we deliver Valentine's Day gifts in Thunder Bay and Slate River.

Possible Gifts for Impossible People, The Camellia, Thunder Bay, On











December is here, and it's the-what-do-we-get-for-Aunt Sophie-what-do-we-get-for-Joe-who-has-everything? We have loved ones in Nursing Homes, we want to get them something special, but WHAT? These are the people who took care of us when we were little, I remember ( back when I was little) wanting some clothes for my Doll, and my Mum, who sewed a little bit, tried her best. I waited patiently, doll sans clothes in my hands, while she attempted to sew the impossibly small outfits. These are the special ones who maybe sang us this song....

You are my Sunshine, my only Sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are grey...We have this cushion for sale at our shop, #TheCamellia, Cushions make a nice Gift for someone in a Retirement home. 





SO often, we hear older visitors to out store exclaim, "Oh, If I still had my house, I would get this..and this,,and .." This printed Rudolph cushion makes a great Gift. 







Our stain resistant. water repellent Tablcloths are a good choice for Gift-giving.. Most spills will wipe up with a damp rag, and they're polyester, so you can throw them in the wash. They come in 4 sizes, 70" square, 70" round, 78" rectangle, and a 94" rectangle. We have lots of patterns and colours in stock, and limited stock in the 107" and the 126", which are the bigger sizes you would use for entertaining. Once you try these, you will be back for more. Our customers that spend winters in warmer places, also buy these. How do you know what size you need...? Think about how many are seated at your table, as a general rule allow 24" for each seated person, so if you seat 4-6, you need the 78" rectangle, and if you seat 6-8, you need the 94" rectangle. 








A gift of Neob Lavender from Niagara is a real treat...Lavender is a natural stress reliever, and the muscle & joint cream is wonderful for aches & pains. Come into our store #TheCamellia, or we can put together a Lavender Gift pack, and deliver for you. If calling from outside Thunder Bay, use our toll-free # 1-877-523-7444. 







Our #Brunelli Room sprays - with the coming of Winter, our rooms can get a bit stale, and these Room sprays do not contain chemicals or nasty things that make you ill.







#Beekman1802 Fresh Air Lotions are fresh smelling, and good for you - no nasty stuff in them. They make a great Gift for anyone. 





Plush furry Pillows, and 100% Cotton bedding - wonderful for someone that may be bedridden. 
This pattern is Brad, in stock in a Queen size, $199.00 (+hst) for Queen duvet, with 2 shams. In soothing shades of greys, taupes, and ivory. 








A bit of humour to lighten your day. For all your Gift-giving needs, Visit #TheCamellia, 30, Hacquoil Rd. ( 10 mins. south from Thunder Bay Airport).

Off we went to visit  the Beekman 1802 store in Sharon Springs, upstate New York. It was a fabulous sunny day, and on the way to Sharon Springs, we passed by many old barns with huge letters "Antiques." Sigh...so many stores, so little time.  When we arrived at the Beekman store, it did not disappoint. Tall ceilings, a neutral backdrop of dark greys, creams and black, a mix of modern, vintage and upcountry.

And best of all, we bought Beekman 1802 product back with us! Come into The Camellia to see fabulous Goat-milk soaps, and their line called Fresh Air, found in upscale NYC hotels. Indulge yourself today, or pick one up for a fab Gift for a friend.
Honey Bar,  Wild Poppy After the Garden bar, Scent of Winter Goat Milk soap, Scent of Spring Goat milk Soap, True Grit Men's Soap, Fresh Air Body Lotion, Fresh Air Shower Gel, Fresh Air room spray, & Lavender month of August soap.
