Is it Spring yet?

I know its not Spring but how I wish it was. We have yet another 8 inches of snow on its way. Holy Moly it's enough already. I am such an outdoor girl and winter just kills me. I try to enjoy the positive parts of Winter. I like when the kids have snow days and are stuck home. Greg says I have Munchhausen but I don't haha. I don't make my kids sick to take care of them. I just love them and hate being here all alone. I am thinking about making some new bath bombs today. I am making one too look like the planet Earth. I was thinking about a rainbow one too. I am freezing right this second so a bath sound better then anything right now. So bathtub here I come. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh scolding hot water. I love it.

Sick to my stomache

So I am reading the front of MSN and its says mystery behind bird deaths solved. Turns out these birds were poisoned because there are too many. What does that mean? It made me so sad. Who the hell is anyone took take a life. In fact 300 lives. Animals were here before humans. They deserve to live too. Without an ecosystem we are gone. So for all you disgusting humans out there stop destroying nature!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop having a zillion kids, buying plastic water bottles and being greedy. There are too many humans. Do we go around poisoning them? MY husband would say yeah due to Chem trails. Anyways that's my vent. I am sad.

Whats up!!!!!!!!!!!!

So its Thursday and I am making some new soap creations. Well actually I am being lazy after my weightlifting class. I like it but its so freaken hard. I have been doing well with my diet and exercise . Its been hard making the Vegan transition. Well I dont miss meat at all but as far as calories and carbs its been a little rough. Anyways enough of that talk.


So I am doing well with my lip balm sales lately. People love my lip balm. I like it too. I made a
good recipe. I like the Vanilla one right now. Most people like the Lavender & Blood orange because its a strange mix. I need to pour some more in a few.

As far as life the kids are good. Jordan(JJ) likes high school better then middle school. He is so cute. Ashley was up late doing envelope stuffing for hospice. She volunteers there for school hours. I dont know how she does it. She amazes me! As for Greg he has a show this weekend for the Hartford shooting benefit. To raise money for the families. As for me I have been trying to work on me, my body, diet & my mind.

Well I am off to make Coconut & Vanilla, Soap & Coconut & Lime.

Long time no post

Its Tuesday and I did not do my Sandy Hook Farmers Market today. The bathrooms are far and being a women today would not have been good;). However I did make some cupcake bath bombs which came out cute. This pic does not do them justice. Although i could use some frosting schooling.They smell yummy. I used Vanilla Frosting fragrance, pink color and mixed Jojoba beads for sprinkles. I burned out one mixer so in the middle of it had to go get another one. I might make some more later , now that I got it down. I wanna make a orange scent one. Its funny how summer makes you crave juicy things.

This past weekend Greg played at the Rock Fest in Woodbury. It was cool. It could have been great but the owner was charging $35 a day to be there, $10 for burgers and $10 to park. That is crazy amount of money so needless to say it was dead. I bought a shell hemp anklet from the one vendor set up there. One because I can copy the design and two because I felt horrible because they made nothing all weekend. It was $250 a spot. I can relate to that.
I am making Portabella Mushrooms for dinner with sweet potato fries(kinda). Its late but Greg was stuck at work, so I wait. He is taking off tomorrow and we might go to the beach. I loved going to the beach when we lived in Florida. I have been here five years and have never went to the CT beaches. Truthfully have no desire. I like blue water and seashells. I wont go in water I cant see what I am swimming in haha. I sure do miss the beaches down south. We used to go and hang out . Jordan would play in the sand for hours. I love a good ocean breeze. Hopefully Aruba will be like that in October.
I have been doing really good at my markets this year. I am glad people love my stuff. My lip balm is the big thing this year. I just made some 100% natural lip balm using essential oils. I made a Lavender & Blood Orange, Vanilla, Spearmint & Pink Grapefruit. I have some other oils I wanna try to. I also got some Cinnamon Bark oil so I can make cinnamon toothpicks like we did in the 80's . I may even sell them in rolled aluminum foil haha. 5 for .25 . I also made some Salt Scrubs & Dry Oil Body Mist.

What have I been up too

Well first off my markets have started. I missed the first week at my local one. Bummer. They said is was gonna rain and it drizzled barely. So that was a waste. However I did do the Newtown one. That is a cool one. The first week. The second week was torrential down pour. The girl would not allow me to move my car up to get my stuff in and it got soaked and labels, tissue paper and stuff ruined. I should have spoke up but you know me. So needless to say I lost more money then I needed to. So hopefully Saturday will be better. I am trying to figure out if I enjoy this anymore. Its alot of work and I always feel like crap after.
I made a few batches of soap this week. I did Oatmeal, Passion Flower, 2 Mens soaps & Mojito. My birthday was Saturday. I got some kitchen stuff and a book. Yes, I am practical. I wish I like jewelry and stuff. We went out for Mexican. The Mariachi band always wants to play for us and I hate that. Why ? I am shy I don't like the whole restaurant watching us. Arghhh. So Greg said we are good and they left. Other then that nothing else is going on.
