Here is a wonderful facial scrub recipe that is all natual and you probably have the ingredients in your kitchen already.

1/4 cup white cornmeal
1 tsp dried ground ginger


Pour all ingredients in food processor and pulse until ingredients form a powder. Keep sealed in airtight container. Zipper bags work well.

Becoming an addiction

I think this whole soap thing is really becoming an addiction. I eat, sleep, and breathe soap! I am constantly intoxicated by the sweet, sensual scents. My skin is forever lathered with some sort of soap , butter or lotion. Anything to feed my new addiction. Every time I think I've found my favorite scent I try a new one and well it's better than the last. Yep, I think it's becoming an addiction... I'm a soap junkie!

I LOVE SMALL BUSINESSES

I absolutely love working with small businesses! I have to give a big thumbs up to http://www.elementsbathandbody.com/ I placed a couple of orders within a day of each other and they were so wonderful and refunded one of my orders shipping charges and put my orders together!!! Thank you Elements! A large company would NEVER have done that!

ARE YOU WHERE YOU THOUGHT YOU'D BE?

Wow, this mornng I woke up to a song that took me back to 1997! It seems like it was yesterday. It is amazing how so many things in your life can change. I guess you never really know where you will end up. In 1997 I graduated as an Operating Engineer (I operated big stuff like bulldozers). Now I'm a SAHM with a handmade soap business. I can't think of two more opposite career paths. I also never thought I would be able to have another child, so now I have an 18 year old and a 20 month old. Who knew! Are you where you thought you would be?
