Just The Goods Newsletter - Spring 2022
Happy almost Spring!
After what has been an incredibly cold and remarkably snowy winter in Winnipeg, I’m very happy to see some blue skies and sunshine today. Wherever in the world you are, I hope you’re warm and well, and that you feel the comfort of community around you. We’re living through such highly stressful times and -- if anything at all -- I hope this message gives you an opportunity to pause, take a deep breath, and feel a bit of sunshine… both literal and metaphorical.
Today’s newsletter is an opportunity for me to say hello -- Hello!! -- and to share a little bit of news concerning: new and re-stocked limited edition items, JTG’s subscription service, a welcome to new retailers, and a thank you in the form of a coupon code 😊 Details are as follows …
New
Limited edition items are an enjoyable way for me to indulge in the more creative aspects of Just the Goods while also exploring new materials. Capturing the sweetness of the coming spring season, this limited edition bath salt is packed with beautiful botanicals and luscious scent.
Spring Forest Floor features delicate lady's mantle leaf, red clover leaf and flowers, elderflower petals, and tiny pink heather petals. It is complimented by the fresh and bright and almost minty scents of violet absolute, violet leaf essential oil, and sweet birch essential oil.

Re-stocked
I recently finished my personal supply of sacha inchi foot balm with lemon and tea tree oil again so, knowing it’s a big fan favourite, I made sure I produced enough to share 😊
Organic sacha inchi, also known as the Inca peanut, is a richly moisturizing oil that easily penetrates skin making it especially helpful for areas that are dry and/or thick. It is high in vitamins and antioxidants, as well as being nicely balanced in fatty acids Omega 3, 6, and 9.
Shea butter nourishes skin with vitamins A, E, and F. It also absorbs quickly and provides lasting moisture
Lemon essential oil is antiseptic, disinfectant and anti-fungal. It can also help to soften skin, which is useful when seeking to treat calluses, corns, and bunions
Tea tree oil offers antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antifungal properties making it helpful when seeking to control athlete's foot among other common concerns
Candelilla wax helps to create a texture slightly more like a balm than a butter it has a little more staying power

This limited edition soft petals face mask was developed last winter as part of a very special collaboration with Winnipeg-based artist, Tricia Wasney.
Drawing inspiration from the tiny geranium petal she cast into a series of bronze pendants, then embracing the softness of that petal as well as the warm, earthy tones of Tricia's choice of rose-tinted bronze, I blended calendula, chamomile, and rose to create a nourishing, soothing, and skin softening face mask for most skin types that promotes gentle relaxation through a light and delicate floral scent.

JTG’s subscription service is here!
In case you missed it, Just the Goods is very pleased to offer one of the most highly requested service features: subscriptions! Save time and energy by subscribing for products you use regularly and have them ship automatically according to your preferred schedule. There's never any obligation -- you can modify or cancel your subscription anytime thanks to the transparency and flexibility offered by Recharge, the app facilitating this at justthegoods.net 😊
There's only one limitation at play, and that's with respect to how shipping is calculated. Subscriptions are therefore available to:
🌿 all shipping addresses in the United States
🌿 all shipping addresses in Canada, excluding within Manitoba
🌿 all pick up orders at @organic.planet.worker.coop in Winnipeg
It is due to the constantly shifting nature of international shipping (i.e. Asendia options appearing then disappearing, etc.) that I'm unable to offer international subscriptions. My apologies! The way Just the Goods is set up to offer local pick up at Organic Planet also means shipping doesn't calculate correctly for orders that need delivery by Canada Post. As such, I'll need to manually cancel any orders from within Manitoba that require shipping and international orders because, sadly, I won't be able to fulfill them 😿
Having said all that, I'm confident this automated system will serve most clients 💗 However, if anyone in Manitoba would like to set up a subscription in a more "old fashioned" way, please contact me and we'll establish a schedule wherein I send invoices via email. This wouldn't be entirely hands off for you, but it will hopefully offload the task of remembering to re-order 😉
I've set the subscription option on products that folks order most regularly re-order every month, two months, or three months. If there's a regularly available Just the Goods or petal, leaf, root. by Just the Goods product you'd like me to add to Recharge's subscription product list, please let me know!
Relatedly, I’ve started thinking about monthly or bi-monthly aromatherapeutic scent subscription boxes with face masks, bath salts, herbal tea, perfume... maybe? Would this be fun? Let me know what you think!
