I absolutely adore strawberries and I am loving how they are so readily available. Every time I go to the grocery store, at least one carton of these red jewels finds its way into my basket. They are simple perfect! Today I want to make a smooth and creamy lip […]

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 […]
