Complexion Facial Toner…

Complexion Facial Toner was specifically created to help compromised skin and does not contain any filler ingredients.

Using natural ingredients that are all benefical to help clear up blemishes and acne our Complexion Facial Toner can be used on a regular basis. Discontinue if rash or allergic reaction occurs.

Complexion Facial Toner is alcohol free.

Ingredients:

Patchouli Hydrosol - Plant/floral waters are produced during steam distillation of a particular plant. Patchouli hydrosol is obtained from the leaves of the Pogosteman patchouli. The rich, sweet-earthy fragrance of the hydrosol is a much lighter and softer scent compared to the essential oil.

Note: The patchouli hydrosol we purchase is organically grown and is available on a seasonal and limited supply basis therefore our Complexion Facial Toner may be available only during this time.

Witch Hazel - The distillate from the witch hazel tree and has long been used as a facial astringent and skin toner.

Lavender Essential Oil - Traditionally used in skin care for inflammation, acne, burns and eczema.

Tea Tree Essential Oil - (melaleuca alternifolia) Reportedly has antibacterial and antifungal properties.

$17.45 / 4 oz.

Out of Stock…

We are currently out of stock on our Fall Harvest Pumpkin Spice Soap, Gift Box and Gift Basket.

Since we are in a fall production mode (yes, even in the middle of our heat wave!) now would be a good time to pre-order any of our Fall Harvest products as they tend to sell out quickly. You can still order the Pumpkin Spice products listed above but they will not be ready to ship until August 31, 2006.

Note: If a particular soap is out of stock it will be 3-4 weeks before that soap is available again. This is due to the saponification process and is not something we can speed up.

We are Cookin’ Now!

The heat wave has finally hit us here in the Pacific Northwest…its been in the mid to upper 90’s the last several days and it looks like we have more to come this week.

I wanted to share one of my favorite wine cooler recipes taken from a 1998 Woman’s Day Eating Light magazine.

Tropical White Wine Cooler

3/4 c. sugar

3/4 c. frozen lemon juice/thawed

1 bottle (750 ml) Sauvignon Blanc or similar white wine

3 c. water

Misc. fruit: orange, lemon, pineapple, mango (you can just use one type of fruit or you can mix/match. Slice fruit into thin slices.

In large pitcher mix sugar with lemon juice until sugar is dissolved. Add wine, water and fruit, stirring well and slightly crushing fruit to extract juices. Refrigerate 1 hour. Serve over ice.

Stay Cool, Drink lots of Water and Don’t Forget the Suntan Lotion!

Update on Deb Manning Benefit Auction…

I have been on pins and needles since these auctions started and am absolutely in awe at how well these did.

Not only will Deb have enough money to prevent forclosure but there is also enough for a cushion should her and her son need it.

It certainly brightens my day to see people pull together to help out another in need.

My only regret (and I’m sure my husbands delight!) is that I was not able to keep up with the bidding….the winning bids were simply astronomical. (I was however able to bookmark several lampwork artists website for future purchases..er reference)

Rough estimate for all auctions: approximately $14,000.00!

A Word About Our Soap Logs…

 No more minimum order on soap logs!

We have changed the listings for all soap logs from a three log minimum order to a one log minimum order.

All soap logs weigh in at approximately 2.25 lbs. and are perfect if you have a retail store and can set up a Soap Deli.

Soap Deli’s have become quite popular as the retail customer can slice the soap log into the desired size.

Soap logs are also a great item for the do-it-yourself person as you can slice the soap to your desired size/shape and package it your self.

Note: We do NOT carry a wide range of soap logs in stock. These are manufactured upon receiving your order and will take 3-4 weeks to cure. This is a process that we cannot speed up so keep this in mind when placing your order.

In the happy event that we do have your desired soap log in stock it will ship within 48 hours of receiving your order.

A Lady in Need and Some VERY Cool Beads…

As some of you may know I have an obsession with lampwork beads and any type of jewelry made with them.

Without going into detail I happened to come across a blog regarding a jewelry artisan who it appears due to her sons tragic medical circumstance is about to lose her home.

I will let you read her story here

Now in order to come up with the needed $5,000.00 the lampwork community has unselfishly donated many outstanding beads to be sold via ebay on Thursday, July 13th. This will be a 3-day auction only since the foreclosure deadline is looming.

You can read about the auction and see the magnificient beads going up for auction here. I know I for one hope to bid and win just a few of those beads….How about you?

BBQ Goodness…

I love meat….specifically BBQ’d meat….

Grilled to tender perfection nothing tastes better than slow roasted ribs glazed with my home-made bbq sauce…or a nice juicy steak sprinkled with fresh herbs from the garden.

With that in mind you need to check out Monster Crochet…bbq at its finest….and all you vegans out there will love it too! (trust me on this one)

Check out that bacon wrap!
