There is just something refreshing about a cool glass of lemonade and with the days heating up, a cool beverage is required! I love how you can dress up a simple glass of lemonade with in-season fruit. It is just so easy and it tastes really good too! Today I […]

Blueberry Lemonade Lip Balm

Yesterday we made the essential oil blend for today’s soap. It smells so good and I can’t wait to make today’s soap. The blend is woodsy, masculine, clean and fresh. I can’t wait to share a bar with my own father.  I am very happy with how this bar smells […]

Soap for Father’s Day – Clean and Masculine

I love all kinds of scented products. Perfumes, potpourri, lotions, body scrubs, etc. If it is scented, I am almost guaranteed to love it. That being said, I am funny in that I like my soaps to have a clean scent. Masculine, feminine or unisex, soap scents all need to […]

When I have about 20-30 minutes available to play in the blog kitchen, I love to make lotions. It is a fun and quick project that replenishes my lotion & creams stash, allows me to help make sure my “guinea pig” (one of our programmers) has moisturized arms, and permits […]

Alright. So there are days I like to consider myself fairly adventurous when it comes to food. So when I saw a recipe online for a Salted Lemonade, I was both horrified and curious. Salt? With lemonade? Say it isn’t so! Well, I just had to try it. The first […]

So today I did something brilliant and I must tell you all about it. Today I decided to make Taylor’s Lime Ricky Lip Balm from yesterday’s post. I tried a sample of this and I absolutely loved the flavor so I had to make some for myself. Well I ran […]

Lip Balm Jubilee!

Summer is almost here and that means I have iced drinks on my mind. Iced Tea, tall glasses of lemonade and frosty glasses of root beer. However, one of my favorite cold summer drinks is a Lime Rickey. If you are not familiar with a Lime Rickey, check out Andee’s […]
