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?"

I love being able to make the soaps I want for my guest bathroom or the perfect night cream, but my favorite thing to spoil myself with is a handcrafted perfume. There are so MANY ways to make a perfume and you want to choose the right base for the […]

Elegant and Simple Roll-on Perfume
