About Denise

I'm a crazy goat lady who got into making my own soap with goat milk, found MMS to order supplies, and now I get to combine my love of creating skin care products with a job to pay the feed bill. I live in Alaska and greatly enjoy the unique aspects of my northern home - summer days when it never gets dark and the Northern Lights dancing above in winter. Favorite scents include Wild Mint and Ivy, Rhubarb & Sugar Cane, and Eucalyptus Spearmint.

Day 39 Free Gift!

November 14, 2018 in Color / Color In Products / Lip Balms / Special Sales by Denise

Beard Oil is a viral product! I see beard oils everywhere. Some men use beard oil on their mustaches also. It’s a great way to add a bit of shine, tone down any flyaway hairs, and impart a pleasant scent. Three on the list of Things Men Need to Know […]

Movember Beard Oil

November 14, 2018 in Beard and Mustache Care / Fast and Simple Gifts / Fragrances by Denise

Even though the focus of Movember is mustaches (perhaps because “Bovember” just sounds funny?), we’ll also feature some beard products, since facial hair often goes past the ‘stache. But first, here’s the second thing on the list of Things Men Need to Know and Do: Have open conversations. You don’t need […]

Movember Beard Balm

November 13, 2018 in Beard and Mustache Care / Fast and Simple Gifts / Hair Care Products by Denise

We are proud to support the Movember Foundation with its focus on men’s health. According to the Movember Foundation, men die an average six years younger than women, and for reasons that are largely preventable. Which means that it doesn’t have to be that way: we can all take action […]

Movember Challenge

Ever since I saw the vibrant color and got a whiff of the intense scent of our Orange Butter, I’ve been craving a chance to create a luxurious body butter. My first thought was to pair the Orange Butter with Illipe Nut Butter, one of our featured products. Illipe Nut […]

Chocolate Orange Body Butter

November 2, 2018 in Lotions and Creams / New Products by Denise

Why does my heart start beating a bit faster when I flip my calendar from October to November? It’s because we are smack up against the holidays, and life is about to buck and spin me like a mechanical bull. I’ll just hang on until January, when everything devolves into […]

Thanksgiving is Coming

November 1, 2018 in Calendar by Denise

It’s Halloween, and tonight the Great Pumpkin rides! We’ll close our office and warehouse at 2 p.m. MST today to allow our staff to get home before the streets are packed with little people (and big people, too!) making the rounds in search of treats. We’ll be back at 8 […]

Closing Early Today

Red licorice is a staple Halloween candy. That sweet cherry-berry flavor is so good! I once lived near a Twizzler’s plant, and I have enjoyed tours through the manufacturing kitchen. The best part about having a Twizzler’s plant nearby was that the licorice sold at the local movie theater was […]

Halloween Treats: Red Licorice Lip Scrub

October 29, 2018 in Fast and Simple Gifts / Scrubs by Denise

Finished lotion tests with scrubby mitts and a bath pouf. — My first thought after finishing the first batch was that this lotion was not as thick as I’d wanted. I wanted something closer to a body butter consistency. I decided to give it a try anyway. Maybe we will love it! The first batch used Coconut Oil and Squalane. It’s […]

So Sensitive Lotion – Day 5: Reflections on the Finished ...

October 26, 2018 in Lotions and Creams by Denise

After making yesterday’s batch of lotion, it was apparent that the batch was too small for proper testing while slathering the whole body. I decided to double the batch with today’s recipe, which uses Avocado Butter and Oat Oil with the same basic recipe as yesterday. I’m excited to see […]
