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.

We have had some snow and cold days recently. I was enjoying a cup of spiced cocoa watching the snow fall when I was struck by inspiration! A spiced cocoa cream would be fabulous. Something to prepare our abused skin for spring and enjoy winter while we are at it. […]
