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.

Whew! We made it to the second day. I don’t know about you, but I kept losing my truffles. Everyone kept sneaking into the kitchen and filching my truffles. 🙄 I even started to worry that I might not have any truffles to photograph! I don’t know about you but I […]

I am a chocolate fanatic. I love chocolate that is: dark, milk, white, hot, cold, liquid or in bars. Don’t even get me started on chocolate with chilies, cinnamon, orange, caramel, toffee, mint and even nuts! I love it all. (95% of my candy drawer is chocolate. Surprised?) While browsing […]

I get to talk with a lot of people and answer questions. One of the most common questions I get is also the hardest to answer. “What is your favorite fragrance?” ACK! I never know how to answer this. There are sooo many great ones out there. So, I am […]

I love harvest season. I love seeing the acorn squash, zucchini, pears, nectarines and cucumbers pile up on my kitchen counter. 🙂 It is just so satisfying. The one problem is that I run out of room very quickly. One fast way to make some counter space is to make […]

Yesterday I told you of my love for ginger. I decided I wanted to make a triple ginger soap. In my mind you can never have to much ginger. In this soap I used our Ginger Fragrance Oil, ground ginger, and fresh ginger! Even if you are not part […]

Triple Ginger Soap

Have you ever had homemade ginger and grapefruit marmalade? Imagine it on toast: citrusy, spicy and sweet. This marmalade is so good you can’t get enough! I am already imagining it in yogurt, thumb print cookies and paired with Indian curries. Yummy. Sorry, I have to dry out my keyboard.I […]

It is Labor Day!

Can you believe it? It is the Friday before Labor Day Weekend. Ack! Where has the summer gone? Just before the break, I wanted to share one of my favorite fruit punch recipes that will be just in time for the last big BBQ weekend of the year. This punch […]

I don’t know about you but I love it when school starts. I love seeing the children scampering off of the bus heading for home with brightly color pictures in hand and ear to ear grins on their faces. I can just hear them bursting in the door, their back […]
