Upcoming Craft Shows in the Chicago Area...


I'll be selling soaps, lip balms, lotions, sugar cube scrubs, perfume, and candles at two craft shows this week. Come and pick out some locally made handcrafted gifts just in time for Mother's Day. Or just stop by and say hi -- I would totally love to see you.

New Lotions and Lip Balms!

~MARRIED TO THE SEA~
Many-Purpose Solid Lotion / Perfume
I created this scent to smell just like a day at the beach. It has been about 10 degrees and snowing here in Chicago and I couldn't help fantasizing about fresh ocean breezes, notes of sea salt, and the whiff of warm, tropical coconut.



LEMON SORBET
Epic Lip Balm with Vitamin E
This is my new favorite flavor! It tastes just like a sweet, refreshing scoop of lemon sorbet. It also reminds me of the lemony taste of Barnum's Animal Crackers :)



JASMINE TEA
Lip Gloss with a Hint of Sheer Color
The light, delicate flavor will remind you of a cup of sweet jasmine tea at Thai Happiness restaurant. This glossy lip balm has a hint of sheer plum shimmer that looks very natural, and it's full of great things for your lips!



YELLOW CAKE
Many-Purpose Solid Lotion / Perfume
Admittedly I'm not always a huge fan of sweet scents, but there's just something about this yellow cake fragrance. The scent is so authentically cakey, it reminds me of a batch of cupcakes fresh out of the oven.



CHERRY BLOSSOM
Epic Lip Balm with Vitamin E
An unusual lip balm that smells like a walk through a springtime orchard of powdery cherry blossoms and honeysuckle, while it tastes like sweet, fruity cherry and peach.



GIANT 8oz. VAT of Many-Purpose Solid Lotion!
Now available in giant 8oz. tins, 4x bigger than my regular size lotions. They will keep your skin moisturized all day even in the cold, dry winter months. Slather with abandon!

Thank you, Etsy!














My I Love Lychee solid lotion was featured last weekend in Etsy's blog The Storque. Thanks to everyone who ordered! I'm working day and night to make everything in time for Christmas.

Vacation Mode

I will be out of town this week for my husband's an art exhibition at Hotel Tides in Asbury Park, NJ. I haven't been there yet, but they say Asbury Park is epically beautiful. If you happen to be in town, stop by the show. I'll have a little table of soap, lotion, and lip balm for sale, too.

My next soap shipping date will be October 29, 2009. All orders placed AFTER October 19 will be shipped on or soon after the 29th. Thanks for your patience!

All atwitter about lip balms

My first four lip balm flavors are finally here! I spent months experimenting, testing and tasting to find the perfect lip balm formula that feels great on your lips and really lasts. This lip balm has creamy pistachio butter, castor oil for shine, vitamin E, honey, and moisturizing sweet almond and raspberry seed oils, and NO preservatives or other weird mysterious ingredients.


More flavors COMING SOON: Fuji Apple, Honey Vanilla, Chai Tea, Cherry Blossom, and Coconut Lemongrass. For more info, please visit my website.
