About Taylor

I'm a twenty something happy, animal loving, curious experimenter. I love reaching back into history and trying old recipes for cosmetics or foods. I'm constantly asking "Why?" My curiosity has me trying new things. I love taking walks with my dog as well as staying at home to cuddle with the dog and my cats. Some of my favorite scents include Hinoki Wood, Rose Garden, Jasmine and Gladiator.

Several days ago, Katy made a Sleepy Time Pillow Spray. She mixed up her blog samples then sat down to her computer to write. I was sitting at my own desk, behaving myself when I started to smell Katy’s wonderful essential oil blend. It was so good, I even ignored […]

May 31, 2018 in Fragrances / Perfumes / Scent Blends by Taylor

Help! Have you made the Manly Balm Lip Balm?

April 25, 2018 in Notices and Alerts / Thoughts from The Sage by Taylor

I have a hobby addiction. I make lotions, soaps, lip balms and bath fizzies. I dabble in painting with acrylics and watercolors. I love to garden and bring fresh herbs and produce into the house to cook with. I enjoy paper-crafts like letter writing, origami and calligraphy. I love to […]

Simple DIY Thread Wax

April 17, 2018 in Fast and Simple Gifts / Thoughts from The Sage by Taylor

While spring is technically here, I think that the weather can’t quite decide if it should be freezing winter or warm spring. I feel like the weather is behaving just like a yo-yo! Despite all of the crazy weather, my mind is firmly entrenched in spring. I am paging through […]
