]]>In 2023 we expanded our daily retail footprint into Orange County and San Diego inside Open Market locations San Clemente Outlets and Mission Hills Mall Open Market space; and we couldn't have asked for a better welcoming. Each week we are thinking of new product to expand into these stores and make even better.

2024 we are adding new fragrances for our balms, body washes and bringing in some new exciting products.. So stay tuned. We also will be updating our events on our instagram & facebook pages @onboardorganics

]]>Breast cancer is something that is no longer kept quiet, people are becoming more aware of the signs and symptoms of this heart-wrenching disease. But prevention, and early detection is essential to a positive outcome. This is not just a lady issue, but effects mankind. So men that applies to you as well. We at On Board are passion about Breast Cancer awareness and our way of giving back to our community and help with awareness is donating to this cause. Each scrub sold this month we donate $1. And for those of you shopping online, use promo code SCRUBBY to get 10% off a 4 ounce body scrub. All will be wrapped with the pink bags.
How to give a self- breast exam according to National Breast Cancer Foundation.
This is to be done once a month.
1) In the Shower
Using the pads of your fingers, move around your entire breast in a circular pattern moving from the outside to the center, checking the entire breast and armpit area. Check both breasts each month feeling for any lump, thickening, or hardened knot. Notice any changes and get lumps evaluated by your healthcare provider.
2) In Front of a Mirror
Visually inspect your breasts with your arms at your sides. Next, raise your arms high overhead.
Look for any changes in the contour, any swelling, or dimpling of the skin, or changes in the nipples. Next, rest your palms on your hips and press firmly to flex your chest muscles. Left and right breasts will not exactly match—few women's breasts do, so look for any dimpling, puckering, or changes, particularly on one side.
3) Lying Down
When lying down, the breast tissue spreads out evenly along the chest wall. Place a pillow under your right shoulder and your right arm behind your head. Using your left hand, move the pads of your fingers around your right breast gently in small circular motions covering the entire breast area and armpit.
Use light, medium, and firm pressure. Squeeze the nipple; check for discharge and lumps. Repeat these steps for your left breast.
If any changes occur, please seek medical advice.

March also marks beginning of spring to me, and the fresh floral blooms emerging from the last of the winters snow. So fresh, crisp and clean. Many flowers belong to March, but irises are amongst the most popular. They symbolize spring so beautifully, with passion, purity, virtue, prosperity, abundance and honors the ones who have passed. Lilies offer what I hope summer and the rest of the year will bring.
With this past Sunday being we sprung ahead, it's time to get summer ready! For us that means sprucing up our diet, making sure our bikini bod has been dusted off and ready to be shown off on the warmer days; the prosperity of summer fun.
We live a good body scrub, and ours are fantastic. This month we have decided to do the destination kit with our blog theme, lilies and lilacs. The emergence of abundance and honor ourselves for the awesome that's coming. To get summer ready we need to remove the dead skin cells that have accumulated over the winter months, shave those gorgeous legs and hydrate the body, internally and externally.
This months destination kit will take you to Dublin, where the ladies wore lilies to symbolize their hope and loss of soldiers who fought for independence. Lilies grow in abundance this time of year and couldn't be more perfect for a destination as a Friday is St.Patricks Day. This month will feature all in 4 ounce quantity, the lilies and lilacs scrub, lotion and shaving cream for $32.50.
Tune into our Instagram for our latest pop ups and Farmers Market. We are expanding our offerings as far as location and products all the time, and Instagram is the source for breaking news from us.
]]>Yes, I am saying that like animals we have winter skin which requires some changes from your summer skincare routine. Which means switching from alcohol based cleaners to a moisturizing based cleanser, being cream or oil based. With the chilly air, changing climate and fluctuating temperatures your skin looses its moisture; creating a breeding ground for acne, wrinkles, chapped and dry skin. That's why after a ski day, your lips tend to be chapped and cracking. So with these tips, may you find that winter snow glow.
With all those tips may you keep your winter skin stay soft, smooth and healthy. And of course we recommend using our products to help keep your winter skin in style, and all products available in travel sized for those winter road trips. Recommended products:
Until March, enjoy!
As you know; weight loss is by far the biggest goal people set. But I encourage all of you to set attainable goals. Our new year resolution for On Board is to do a blog post each month with helpful recipes for great skin and overall healthy lifestyle.
We can be singularly focused on what we put on our face to prevent breakouts, what we eat to lose weight, and so on. But what you eat impacts your body as a whole. So making healthy choices can help maintain or lose weight, and keep your skin glowing. Diets that are balanced with fatty acids and omega 3's help cell membrane growth and development, as well as being heart healthy. These fatty acids play a major part on a cellular level of gate keeping, letting good nutrients in and discard the bad things. They are also known to help regulate oily to dry skin, help with acne and wrinkles and keep your digestive system going. As a salmon lover, we have a recipe below for you to try and incorporate into your cooking regimen.
Tracey's Lemon-Lime Peppered Salmon
As prepared in individual salmon steaks
5 ounces salmon
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh ground pepper
1 fresh squeezed lemon
2 fresh squeezed limes
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Clean salmon and place on aluminum foil. Sprinkle pepper across the salmon and squeeze lemon and one lime across the salmon, leaving the lemons and limes on top of the salmon steak. Fold aluminum foil around the salon bake for 20 minutes and open the foil and let the salmon to bake for an additional 10-12 minute or until baked fully.

And while sales are helpful, it's easy to get stuck in a shopping rut especially if you're shopping for the person who has it all. That's why we LOVE gift guides. What better way to get new ideas and find unique gifts than having a trusted beauty or travel editor curate them for you?
This year, our first holiday season in business, we have been honored to be included in Try Belle Magazine's gift guide featuring ten unique holiday ideas. As their site says, "These perfect gifts were handpicked by our team of Santa sleuths, everything from inflatable SUP boards, and yoga pants, to special headbands and glam natural skincare."
So do yourself a favor (and the person you are shopping for) and scope this out!

]]>Enter Anna Finch, founder of Cabana Anna Swimwear. Anna is also a proud graduate of USC and was running an Instagram contest for USC sorority sisters along with her friend, another female founder, Ailis Garcia. (Check out her brand, The Strong Movement here).
Anna being ever wise (and knowing that bikini's and body exfoliants go hand in hand...literally), invited On Board Organics to participate in a sorority Instagram contest at USC and the winning sorority......was Alpha Phi.
Fun fact: On Board Organics founder Tracey has a soft spot for sororities--she was a Kappa in college herself.
So, congratulations to Alpha Phi at USC for winning this challenge. We hope you enjoy your body scrubs, lotions and exclusive discount. Thank you to Anna and Aillis for collaborating with On Board organics too.

]]>I grew up golfing, playing tennis, traveling, being active. I always had an openness to life! I guess it was that openness that inspired the creation of this skin care line.
While I was in college, I began to experience allergic reactions to things. And the first place the symptoms would show up would be on my skin. I would become dry, I would start dealing with breakouts which ultimately led to me hiding under long sleeves even on the warmest of days to prevent further skin agitation and because I wasn't comfortable with the way my skin looked. It didn't help that I was an executive during the week, one who loved to find reprieve enjoying the outdoors over the weekend. Well, when my symptoms started to impact my lifestyle, I knew I had to do something about it.
That was when I took matters into my own hands....literally. I started making organic skin care products including coconut oil body scrubs and holistic body lotions. The products I used actually helped my skin feel smooth, soft and hydrated.
Talk about a journey! I knew other women could probably relate to feeling uncomfortable, trapped, embarrassed by their skin sensitivities. And I decided to do something about that.
Hence the name ON BOARD ORGANIC SKIN CARE. If you're active, on the go, love traveling and exploring but also have sensitive skin, we're here to help.
The On Board Organic Skin Care Mission: For all the adventures you'll take in life, we make sure you're always at home in your skin.
