Black Friday - Cyber Monday

Ok, yes, I'll admit it. I will be contributing to the crazy chaos that seems to have been elevated to almost National Holiday status.

I won't be in the stores shopping. Any of my family will tell you, I am not a morning person. I have participated in the shopping frenzy the friday after Thanksgiving and I don't get it. Maybe because I am not a morning person. I will pay a little more for my gifts just to avoid the crowds, craziness and shoppers blinded by the thought of saving five bucks on the last "hot holiday toy" perched on the shelf at Toys R Us. I don't usually go for trendy gifts anyway.

So, as the times dictate, I will be having special prices in my etsy shop from November 28 through December 2. Check my store announcement for the special pricing for shipping, discounts and a special offer for international buyers. Why should they be left out? Us crazy American's with our national shopping holiday!....

Wishing everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving! Now its time to find those comfortable jogging pants, add the new laces to the tennis shoes and pull that debit card out of moth balls! Now don't forget, add these last two reminders to your shopping list - wearing deoderant is necessary but carrying a purse is a waste of space! You can carry another bag with that hand!

Congratulations to the Winner!

It's a new week!

Started the week off with two new listings at Etsy. I figured...since foul weather is soon to be here, it's time to break out the balms and butters! I use both all year long but I also have dry skin. Some peeps find thick butters too much in warmer weather but are perfect for weather-proofing the skin when the flurries start to fly!

This Vanilla Lavender Butter Bar is so rich and luscious plus it smells great! I love to schmooze it on right before bed.

Nothing beats a light pepermint-y lip balm! With cocoa butter and hempseed oil this lip treat glides right on! It adds a little shine but you won't feel like you've just eaten a greasy bucket-o-chicken!

I'll be whippin' up a few more batches of butters and balms over the next few days. Unique flavors and some de-vine scents for butters!

Day number two - we're getting there!

Boy...I thought I would be able to figure this out! It's harder than I thought! Page layouts, templates, gadgets.... Posting will be easy compaired to setting up the page to the look I want!



Oh well! Keep on chuggin' away!

"Get to blogging!"

Ok. So I did it... Not sure when I'll have the time but hey - why not! So this is my first post and I'll be working on the layout and content over the next few days. As you know brand recognition is everything!

Keep checking back. You don't want to miss a thing!
