Laura Slatkin Introduces the PROJECT ART by NEST Fragrances Home Fragrance and Personal Care Collection

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 11, 2010

Legendary home fragrance expert Laura Slatkin, Founder, President and CEO of NEST Fragrances, is renowned for her sophisticated scents and luxe design, infusing her signature aesthetic into every collection she creates. Now the industry leader in luxury home fragrance introduces PROJECT ART by NEST Fragrances, a new collection that brings Slatkin?s extensive expertise to everyday fragrance consumers, making superior scents and sophisticated packaging accessible to everyone. Along with PROJECT ART scented candles, NEST Fragrances will simultaneously launch coordinating home fragrance and personal care products with the introduction of the PROJECT ART Reed Diffuser and Liquid Hand Soap and Hand Lotion.

Featuring the work of several world-renowned photographers noted for their still-life artwork, PROJECT ART?s product labels and packaging display stylized, vibrant color photographs of various flowers, fruits, herbs and food against crisp, white backgrounds. While PROJECT ART began as an internal company project name, Slatkin soon realized that the phrase underscored what she set out to achieve when developing her latest collection.

?I am extremely excited to introduce a breathtakingly beautiful new brand, PROJECT ART by NEST Fragrances,? said Slatkin. ?PROJECT ART is an important new home fragrance collection consisting of 12 outstanding core fragrances. PROJECT ART combines the art of home fragrance with the art of sophisticated packaging ? an expertise I have perfected over the last two decades. PROJECT ART is a truly unique home fragrance collection; I am very proud to finally bring this collection to fruition!?

PROJECT ART candles are crafted using NEST Fragrances? proprietary, cosmetic-grade wax blend, formulated with the finest ingredients available. The fragrance is blended throughout the candle to ensure that the scent will infuse a room or environment until the candle is extinguished.

PROJECT ART Reed Diffusers have been carefully crafted with the highest-quality fragrance oils and are designed to continuously fragrance any room with a long-lasting memorable scent. PROJECT ART Hand Soap and Hand Lotion are new, luxurious essentials featuring premium formulations that help nourish skin and renew texture while providing a delicate fragrance experience.

PROJECT ART Hand Soap contains rounded granules that gently exfoliate the skin while effectively and thoroughly cleansing hands. PROJECT ART?s fast-absorbing Hand Lotion hydrates and protects the skin, leaving hands feeling soft and silky while aloe and natural extracts soothe. NEST Fragrances? liquid hand soaps and lotions are made from the finest ingredients for a luxurious, creamy, smooth feel.

The PROJECT ART by NEST Fragrances Collection Includes:

Scented Candle, 22 Oz., $ 24.99
Single Votive Candle, 4 Oz., $ 9.99

Available in Apple, Cinnamon Spice, Juliet Rose, Lavender & Sage, Lemon Verbena, Mint Leaves & Lime, Orange Kumquat, Pear, Pumpkin, Tulip Garden, Winter Forest, Vanilla Glaze, and two holiday fragrances, Holiday and Peppermint Twist.

Woman?s Journey Leads to Launch of First Yoga-Inspired Hair & Body Care Company

Lancaster, PA (PRWEB) January 11, 2011

The company represents the convergence of two forces in Townsend?s life.

She grew up in the family business that has been making professional hair and skin care products for three generations. Then, nearly ten years ago she began practicing yoga as, she says, ?a wonderful way to bring balance and peace into my hectic life as a business person and mom of two young children.?

Townsend is not alone. A survey conducted by the Yoga Journal determined that 16 million Americans currently practice yoga, another 9 million said they planned to try yoga in the coming year, and another 9 million expressed an interest in taking up yoga. Further, many doctors are recommending their patients begin to practice yoga to improve their overall health.

As Townsend became immersed in yoga, she began to realize there were no significant hair or skin care brands designed to address the specific needs and aspirations of yoga practitioners. Nor were there brands that adequately served the growing general consumer needs for holistic health and natural living products.????

Today, Nama produces a growing line of hair and body care products including shampoo, conditioner, moisturizing skin food, meditation cream, hand and mat sanitizer and parfum. The company?s full product line can be found at http://www.namaproducts.com.

?We certainly believe people who practice yoga will find our brand appealing,? Townsend says, ?but we also think there are many more people who will find our open, honest, quality approach attractive. Our products will be available broadly and online and we have priced them so they are accessible for everyone, everyday.

?These people are making active choices to manage and improve their lives,? Townsend adds. ?I honestly believe that if we can embrace the spirit of namaste as individuals, we can also do the same as companies and brands who are run by people.

?We present Nama as a company that embraces the positive approach of yoga and namaste and lives these values.?

?Through yoga I found the courage to make a positive change in my life and create Nama,? explains Townsend. ?Now with Nama I want to be a positive force in the lives of all our customers, suppliers and employees.?
