De-Stress Essentials Celebrates One Year in Business: Offers Luxurious Resort and Day Spa Products to Healthy Consumers

Santa Barbara, CA (PRWEB) February 12, 2007 -- Santa Barbara-based Internet retailer De-Stress Essentials celebrates their 1-year anniversary of bringing quality luxurious resort and day spa products into healthy homes. As a small web boutique De-Stress Essentials aims to offer a wide selection of lesser-known products with outstanding quality to health conscious consumers.

Started with a simple mission of wanting to promote relaxation and wellness to a very stressed society, Maria Carbonell-Elliott founded De-Stress Essentials in February of 2006. She seeks out resort and day spa quality products that contain natural and organic ingredients. Examples of her products range from the popular Organic Fiji line made with Certified Organic Virgin Coconut Oil to the Buddha Nose line that contain only organic wild-crafted ingredients to offering 100% soy wax candles with pure essential oils. Each item is carefully selected and they sell only what they love and, therefore, what they think you'll love. All of their products are intended to nourish the body as well as the spirit with their hopes that these little indulgences will make all the difference.

Over the past year De-Stress Essentials customers have found a home with mainly women. With the recent growing trend of men taking in the spa life they're beginning to see a surge in male customers. Popular for men are olive oil soaps and the neck and body wraps, which are larger in size and come in several masculine colors. These examples of products that were once available to only resort and day spas and now available to the online consumer show the strength of De-Stress Essentials' ability to bring consumers new products that they have probably never seen before.

Ms. Carbonell-Elliott also contributes her success to a drop shipping business model, allowing her to focus on marketing and the future of De-Stress Essentials. In adapting this business model she is able to offer a wide variety of scents and body care lines, while wholesalers or distributors manage inventory and ship from their facilities. "Organic lotions and sugar scrubs can go rancid fast if not moving from the shelves faster than they expire so it's been a wonderful arrangement. I'm able to offer a dozen scents for just one product, which in turn gives my customers expanded options," says Ms. Carbonell-Elliott.

Throughout 2007, De-Stress Essentials further plans to expand their current home spa products and jump into the lifestyle-focused space. Having worked for them in the first year in business, they'll continue to promote relaxation and wellness by offering an edited selection of choice products from great companies. That is the key to their success. To view any and all of the products visit: http://www.destressessentials.com, or for any questions, email Maria Carbonell-Elliott at maria@destressessentials.com.
