Spahhhhh goodies....

So I have been crazier busy than just my usual "crazy busy". Why this time? Well, the usual freelance work, going to craft fairs to sell my furniture and trinket boxes (and a little jewelry), and now--handmade body scrubs (with lotions coming, too).

I used to (a few years ago) make my own (very small) line of handmade lotions, body scrubs, and lip balms. Business was good, but it was hard to make it profitable because my batches were so small. But I loved doing it and coming up with various formulations, having my friends test and rave about them, and designing the packaging. Well, this Christmas I decided to make some as gifts, and the demand is starting again. And I can't say no to my fans (no matter how small a group they might be). I've renamed and revamped the label to a fresher look, too.

 But here is a sample view of my brown sugar body polish. I love it because it leaves my skin really soft; and it's really easy to use in the shower because it stays mixed (rather than the oil  separating out and having to re-stir). This batch is a sultry tahitian vanilla scent--Yum!  Next will be my "Shea Butter Love" lotion (comes in an amber colored bottle)--nothing less than luxurious, if I may be so bold to say so!: )

But to move on: if you celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope that you have a most blessed time with friends and family and a fabulous time that leaves with you happy lifelong memories!

  1. I thought you would go with "very happy skin" like Laurie suggested it.

  2. I have nightmares with moisturisers.. at this time of year my cheeks go ridiculously dry, but if I try using any sort of heavy/rich moisturisers I end up scratching it off my face within 10 minutes as I find them too smothering. I tend to develop intolerances as well, I have NEVER gotten to the bottom of a pot/jar of any moisturiser I’ve used without it causing major irritations.
