Lavender Castile Facial Bar

The mildness of castile makes it an excellent option for a facial bar. This Lavender Castile is made with certified organic extra virgin olive oil with ground lavender buds (also certified organic). Of course it is lightly scented with lavender essential oil. A little extra color was added using alkanet root.

Coming Up In February

Wow, I last posted on Jan 3 but it seems like it has been ages since I've posted anything. Well, I have been busy with several projects. One of which I want to share. Months ago I was over at the Indie Biz Chicks site listening to past podcasts. One in particular was an interview with an artist (I apologize I don't recall her name). This artist mentioned how she had been in a slump with her art. At the time I was feeling somewhat the same way about my products. She had this idea where she said she would make one art piece a day. I didn't matter if she thought the piece was good or bad, she'd complete it and move on to the next one the next day. It was an interesting concept because it forced her to work, no matter what, on her art. Through that the inspiration for new things started to form. I wanted to follow her lead and introduce a new Blossoming Tree Bodycare product each day in the month of February. I've spent months working on new formulas and reformulating old recipes that I'm very happy with and in this case it does matter whether it's good or bad. You get the good stuff, I keep the bad. :^)

Getting Down To Business

Now that the holidays are over it's time to get back to business. I have closed my Etsy shop until February 1. In the meantime I have been a cleaning fiend. In the past week I tossed or donated so many things. I fully intend to get rid of everything that hasn't been in use for some time. I started earlier last year but never completed the task. I'm well on my way of completing it this time around. Sometimes we hold on to things for whatever reason but deep down we know we have no use for them (or rather no longer have use for them). I'm feeling pretty optimistic about it all.

Happy 2010!
