I was so touched by the positive reaction to my post yesterday, thank you so much. I really do feel like I’ve become close friends with you, even though many of our interactions have been brief. You can just tell when you’re dealing with good people. So, one request was that I post the recipe for my Potion #2. I know why, it’s because it’s hard to … Continue reading Recipe for Potion #2!
Well, this is an unusual post for me to write, the likes of which I’ve never done before. After over two years in business, I took a deep look at the picture of my life, and found that running a product-driven business alone, while also working full time and being a single mother of two was just simply too much for me to handle. The … Continue reading Unexpected Outcomes
I noticed something, earlier tonight when I was scanning Etsy for items I love. (As I habitually do. Etsy actually has a great interface, similar to Pinterest, if you’re into that.) I saw something very pretty and appealing, a skincare oil that had nice packaging. I was psyched to check out the ingredients, because if it was genuinely simple, with no weird synthetic skin tighteners, … Continue reading Whole Ingredients
As a chronic entrepreneur, it seems fair that I should update anyone who might be interested, on what the last year has been like, as far as entrepreneurial adventure goes. Uhhhhhh. That’s about it. Yeah, it seems like the changes that occurred over the last year have left me with a lot of brain mush. I’m having a very hard time concentrating, and therefore, I … Continue reading The Year in Business
I’m not usually excited about Fall. For me it’s always meant memories of going back to school, winter right around the corner, and shorter days. Now though, things have changed. Back to school is for my kids, not me, whew! I recently bought the warmest coat I’ve ever seen (2 layers of down!), and shorter days just mean an excuse to hunker down with a … Continue reading Giveaway! Win a free Clove Bud and Orange Deodorant and Body Butter
Hi. I wanted to check in, because I’ve been pretty quiet on the blog and Facebook lately. I’ve been adjusting to yet another new way of life. I was offered a full time graphic design job at a local print shop, and another position with a small newspaper. I also was working on a freelance design project for a long time client, while also working … Continue reading Hi
Thank you so much to each of you who participated in the Spring Scents Contest! Picking a winner was really hard. I loved all the ideas! I’m especially interested in those with coconut, although will need to do a bit more research as there is actually not a coconut essential oil. There is something called Massoia, which is a bark derivitave that supposedly smells like … Continue reading Winners!
The days are getting longer, daylight savings starts this weekend! I need to run another contest, here it is – THE SPRING SCENTS CONTEST!!!!

The (2) winners will receive a Whipped Cream Body Balm and Naturally Absorbent Deodorant in 2 oz. tins in their winning scent. Comment … Continue reading Contest! Win! Participate! Yes!
I was a little surprised by my almost-violent reaction when I noticed that kimonos as day clothes are the thing now. There’s just some kind of really amazing lazy-glam-70s-Mrs. Roper-ish quality about this look that I love. Maybe it’s due to the fact that I work from home and am usually in some kind of pajama. They’re pretty, they’re comfy, and they’re bright and colorful. … Continue reading Get me a kimono NOW!
During the school year, I have my kids primarily at my house during the weekends. It’s a bit of an unconventional set up, my ex and I share 50/50 custody, rather than the traditional; all week at moms, weekends with dad. I end up at dad’s house once or twice during the work-week as well to give him a break, and help the kids with … Continue reading Pinterest Weekend Wrap-Up
