Lotion bars are one product that I like to keep on hand for times that I want to apply a lotion to my arms or elbows but at the same time I don’t want to have any fragrance or oils on my hands. (Like when I’m cooking!) There are several […]
I love spices and I love coffee. When you mix the two together, I am a very happy camper. I wanted to make a lotion stick because they are easy to apply and sometimes can double act as a solid perfume. I am more than happy to smell like a […]
Kids say some very funny things! My family has things that we say now for fun because of phrases that we kids said when growing up. For example, nail polish is now called “pail nolish”. Today I still find myself asking for the bottle of “pail nolish” when we paint […]
I love the scent combination of vanilla and mint. There is just something soothing about it. I have a friend who spends all day on his feet, walking and standing. When he gets off work and gets home the first thing he does is take off his shoes. At least […]
When I think of foods made in the spring, I often think about coconut in candies, in cookies, and covering cakes. I decided that I wanted to make a simple body cream with Virgin Coconut Oil. I started looking through the blog for inspiration and I found the Easy Does […]
Spring is one of my favorite times of year, especially when the flowers begin blooming and the plants are all vibrant colors! I begin thinking about how to bring extra energy into my daily life and I usually turn to lotions and creams scented with cheery fragrances to give me […]

Do you know what I have been thinking about today? A vacation. Just get away from the stress of everyday life. I am imagining a sandy beach, a iced tea and lots of sun. Though I can’t just pick up and leave as much as I would like to, I […]
I had formulated this body cream and had created a small pile of notes about why I had made this simple body cream and even for whom I had created this formula. I had transferred the formula to my computer so I could create a testing schedule, but I didn’t […]
This is a new area for me and before last month I had never heard of the word – tincture (yes, I had to look it up). I have heard and used extracts and infusions, I just didn’t realize that I could make my own own tinctures, extracts, or infusions and incorporate them […]
Today I have spring on my mind. Spring is amazing to me. The world is waking up, sprouting, budding, etc. It is the one time of the year that our landscape is completely carpeted with green. (Living in a desert does not do much for having greenery.) However, spring also […]
