Speak Your Mind and Tell Me Your Valentines Wish List

When I began making skin care products began years ago, you couldn’t find many choices when it came to suppliers and the internet wasn’t exactly something everyone had access to. I was still trying to find most of my suppliers the old fashioned way, word of mouth or resource material in natural health books and those were even few and far between those days. So much has changed, hasn’t it? Now there are so many options when it comes to finding good quality fragrance and essential oils at a reasonable price..it makes my head spin! But it has always been important to me, it’s the heart and core of my business.
Good skin care starts with the ingredients. Now granted, I can’t say i haven’t been tempted to choose cheaper oils for convenience sake and to save a little money here and there, but that bar of soap you told me you loved and made your skin feel so pampered and calming after a long hard day at work wouldn’t have been the same if I chose to buy supplies based solely on the next latest and greatest scent or fad. I want my products to melt away your worries, if only for 15 minutes and then I want what you want; skin that feels fantastic and leaves you feeling rejuvenated all day long.
When you have to hide that bar of soap in a drawer away from your daughter, I know I’m on the right track. So heads up, I’m preparing for Valentines my loves and I want your input! This is your chance to speak your mind before my order goes in tomorrow. What do you want for Valentine’s Day? Go ahead, tell me what products you would like to see in your hands and all over your body.

I’ve already have a very long list started and it’s growing, don’t be shy let me know what essential oil or skin care products you need the most.

Soap Giveaway and Interview with To Sew With Love

A few weeks ago I was approached by Lelanie at To Sew With Love {a fabulous site by the way}, to do an interview and become one of the sponsors in her giveaway, I immediately said yes! Her blog and all the effort that has gone into promotion is amazing to say the least and I was very flattered that she would even think of me. She is one I would love to interview; how does she work such an incredible blog??

So without further a~due, hop on over and read the interview!  In a few days she will be posting the details for the giveaway, I’m giving away three bars of soap, 1 Black Apple, 1 Snickerdoodle Coffee, 1 Almond & Honey…who will be the luck winner??

French Lavender Soap


The first time I ever came across real French Milled Lavender soap, from France I was in a tiny little shop, here in the mountains. They sold fine imported soaps, perfumes and lotions. Unique little bottles filled to the brim with Shea Butter and essential oils, soaps perfectly wrapped with gold gilded paper and silk ribbon and a huge wooden bowl of nothing but French Milled Soap; what more could a girl ask for? Of course I bought one of those great big blocks of Lavender Milled Soap {research is important…lol}!

I find that most my inspiration for making a new soap typically comes from being surrounded by herbs, essential oils and natural ingredients found at local herb shops. This latest batch of my Lavender soap has been hand-milled three times through grating, melting and repeating until I’m satisfied. This ensures a more concentrated version and a bar that lasts much longer. Yes the process is longer, but it’s so worth it! You can find my Primitive French Milled Lavender Soap at my Etsy Shop.

Almond Milk and Honey Soap

Almond, milk and honey soap, a scent that everyone {even the men folk} love. The scent of bitter almond blended with a deep spice and cocoa really sends this over the top…love it!
One of the important things you need to do when you have a business is think about the coming seasons well in advanced. So while everything is still fairly warm around here during the day I am busy thinking and planing for the Fall and Winter. So far I have decided on lots of warm spices and homey scents like a spiced pumpkin scrub or maybe something to help us with the cold season ahead, Mint and Eucalyptus are always good for that.
Anyhow, you can click on the picture {on the side bar} and go right to the shop to see what other goodies I have waiting.
