New Line of Soaps

We have a new line of soaps coming out soon. A wonderful...uncomplicated...natural line of soaps using only natural colorants and essential oils.

The first 3 soaps of the line have been made and are curing...we will have many more for you soon to come. So just what do we have ready for you....


First up is a Charcoal and Tea Tree essential oil.
Charcoal is said to draw impurities from the skin and help relieve it from problems. 
Tea Tree essential oil has a crisp cool scent and can be very healing and soothing to your skin 

Next we have Lemon...(my newest fave). This natural earthy smelling soap bar contains both lemon essentail oil and lemon peel.
Lemon is a natural astringent and antiseptic. It is thought to be great to help clear complexions by clearing greasy oily skin.
Lemon peel also acts as an astringent for the skin and has been known to be great for acne prone skin. It also works as a mild exfoliant and contains vitamin C and a host of antioxidants.

Third is peppermint essential oil. This all natural vegan soap bar is free from artificial colors/fragrances, the only addition to this wonderful soap is peppermint essential oil to give a fresh cool aroma to your daily routine.

Our soaps will be in-store when cured, and are available for pre-order on our Etsy site now.

Slice of Hope Fundraiser

This past weekend we participated in a local event put on by our favorite pizza place...Acme Pizza. The event was to raise money for the Pink Heals funds, which helps local women with women related cancers. You couldn't have asked for a more perfect day weather wise. I have to say in all the shows we have done this has to have been the best day for temperature and no wind. Here is our set up...

Jenn (our special needs family member we have custody of) wanted to come and spend the day with me, she loves people and is super social, and she really enjoyed seeing the giant pizza...

Here is our oldest daughter in her booth of Enchanted Waxworks, and she also does face painting....

And to complete the day, here is my grandson who works for Acme Pizza...and he knows how to jump right in to the spirit of things...he bleached a pair of jeans and then dyed them pink...

It was a great day and I hope they received a nice amount of money for the Pink Heals foundation.

Boo Berry Cereal...

...was my absolute fave growing up (along with Lucky Charms). I don't remember if it was always available years ago, but now it is only sold at this time of year...and yes at 43 years of age...it is still a seasonal MUST HAVE! lol

So each October I treat myself to one box...brings back fond memories! :)

What was your favorite childhood cereal?
