The scent of Roses is in the air

Roses are the embodiment of love. I love to create things with certain scents, colors and textures in mind. This morning I awoke to my head being filled with Roses. The dream I had was so powerful, I could swear that I could smell roses when I woke up. So today I'm working with Rose,  that flower and scent that is forever attached to romance and love. I'll be working with rose essential oil and rose petals to create something extra special for Valentine Day. Have you been to my etsy store to see my Rose infused bath products??? I'd have a few different products available but will be adding more very soon!

Mani/Pedi Scrub

Wether you're a budget minded person that does their nails at home or one who indulges in a professional mani/pedi, we all like to have our hands and feet looking and feeling their best! Have I ever got the product you've been looking for! With Himalyalan Pink, Kalahari Desert and Pacific Sea Salts for exfoliation and a combination of sunflower,coconut, grape seed and sweet almond oils plus vitamin e for moisturizing, this is one of the salon luxury items that we all can afford to splurge on. This would make a terrific gift any time of year!

Tropical Paradise at Home

Alright, We can't escape the cold BUT we can make it feel like a tropical paradise within our homes. How? I'm not talking about turning up the thermostat, but rather with Body Butters, Body Scrubs, Soaps and Bath Soak products that remind us of Tropical Places. On a family vacation we took years ago to we went on a tour of a botanical garden. As I stood there with my eyes closed, the scents of the various tropical flowers wafting through the air had me feeling energized and happy. I want to recreate that kind of thing for customers. To be able to sit back and relax in a bathtub with one of my products, close your eyes and let the scents take you to someplace warm and sunny.

Mango Body Butter

What does the winter weather do to Your skin? It dries it out! Did you know that I make Body Butter? I also make lotion bars too,  but it's a thing I'll make on "special request only" and only ship out during the colder months due to their  melting properties. Feel free to ask me about prices. Today I made a lovely Mango & Rose body butter and let me tell you about how my skin drinks it up! Because I use only natural organic ingredients, it can also be used on your face. Even though I have friends around the USA that I periodically send samples of new products to try out and give me honest feed back on, I'm still the main tester of my products and I'm here to say that, yes, I use it every single day on my face and body.

It's snowing, so why not take a bath?

Snow, snow and more snow is coming our way. My thoughts on this are "there's nothing we can do about it, so why not take a soak in the tub?". I think that people need to just just roll with it. We have no control over what Mother Nature is dishes out to us, so why not just take time to enjoy it. I plan on building a snowman once the blizzard part is over (I'll share pictures later after the fact), then taking a nice warm soak in my bathtub with some of my Citrus Sunshine mineral bath. To make it seem as if I'm at a day spa and to give myself a more luxurious experience, I'm going to have a pitcher of cucumber water nearby to stay hydrated and of course I'll use a neck pillow.  The cherry on the top will be the book I'll be reading, it'll be the latest novel by one of my favorite authors. 

Sea Clay & Salt Dry Body Scrub

We're up to 5 1/2 inches of heavy wet snow here in my little part of Massachusetts. With cold surrounding me everywhere I look, I've decided to make my own kind of sunshine! I just made the most delicious Sea Clay & Salt Dry Body Scrub! With wonderful ingredients like organic poppy seeds and salt from the Kalahari Desert for exfoliation plus some organic sea clay for its purification properties- it's an instant pick me up!  It's got a fantastic scent of the sea.

Rose Petal Garden Bath Soak

I've had Roses on the brain for the past couple of days. So with Roses in mind I created this lovely Rose Petal bath soak. With all kinds of yummy organic-y goodness, it'll make you think that your in a rose garden. The scent of this bath soak reminds me of my favorite Rose Garden when we lived in England.  We would visit Blenheim Palace at various times throughout the year. On one such visit in the summer, the famous Rose Gardens were open. It was so amazing. I could actually smell the roses before I saw the gardens. It's an earthy rose scent that's not overly floral.

Coconut Sugar Scrub

If ever there was a Sugar Scrub that brought back memories of warm summer days at the beach, this one it is! I've been making this for myself and now I'm offering it for sale in my etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/MermaidsAndSeashells

So that you can to enjoy it too!  My Coconut Sugar Scrub will leave your skin feeling silky and moisturized. Remember to pat your skin dry as rubbing it will remove all of the yummy moisturizing oils.

Chasing away the winter blues

Winter weather and it's short days can get a bit tedious. It's this time of year that I like to work with all of the lights on and work with things that makes me think of warm sunny days, be it scents or colors. This weekend I've been working hard at making/creating a delightful lightly citrus scented soap. The scent reminds me of ginger ale. The color is a happy byproduct of the essential oils that I used to create the scent-sweet deal there! It's still kinda moist and needs some curing time. Look for it in my etsy shop in a few weeks!

Cookie Crumble Foaming Sugar Scrub

Taking care of yourself  starts on the outside! I use organic ingredients to create my yummy Cookie Crumble Foaming Sugar Scrub. With hints of almond, vanilla and coconut and the texture of crumbly cookie dough, this sugar scrub will leave your skin feeling silky and nourished.

Hello Everyone!

Well I did it, last November I took a hobby that I dearly love and turned it into a business. What is it you wonder? I make bath products; all kinds of bath soaks , fizzy bath bombs and of course soap! I also sell handmade fabric items like make-up brush rolls, infinity scarves along with the occasional handbag and make-up bag. 
I'll take you through my creative process and tell you more of what drives me to design and make the things that I do. I find beauty and inspiration all around me. It's a sad day indeed if I say that I'm bored and that there's nothing to do as there is ALWAYS something to do!
