Officially a big boy now!

That's right, I'm officially a big boy! I went last week for my 1 year checkup at Crater Road Vet Hospital, and Dr. Kinney (whom we all love) said I was fantastic!



































Then again, we all knew that right?! Just kidding! Dr. Kinney is awesome!

Before she came in, I just hung out and relaxed! I always make myself at home no matter where I am!



































They were really busy as always! My mom and Dad are super excited to have found such a wonderful place for my primary care! All of the ladies in there are fabulous and they really do love me!



































Mom and Dad just couldn't believe how fast I've grown up! 19.5 pounds! Just right! Thanks to the walks with Grandpa and fetch with Dad every night!

I love my life and my parents so much. I'm always playing, smiling, and having fun! Here's to lots more healthy checkups!

Smell those blueberries....

Can you say, "Yum!"



































I just cut up the Blueberry Lemon Verbena and it's so delicious! So yummy!



































Even for those of you that don't like to wash with "food fragrances" you will love this...I LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE!!! It's just enough of both blueberry and lemon to be great and not overpowering!



If you haven't tried this yet, I really urge you to consider it! It really is a popular fragrance among my customers!



I'll have all of my new stuff as well as the regulars at both events coming up in April! And, soon the Petersburg Farmers' Market will start (May)! So, it's almost time!

Mark your calenders...

...to come see me at the following two events in April!



The first event is Fool for Art. On Saturday, April 13, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the Midlothian campus of John Tyler Community College, you will find lots of arts and crafts vendors, activities for children and adults, and lots of awesome learning opportunities! Stop by and check it out! Here's the link.

Then, on Saturday, April 20, from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. at Hardywood Park Craft Brewery in Richmond...



The Richmond Craft Mafia's Spring Bada Bing Event! All handmade, all local, all awesome! I'll be there with my soaps! Stop by and check it out! Support local!

Lovely lavender oatmeal

My biggest seller without a doubt is this lovely lavender oatmeal!



It is absolutely the best bar I make. Yes, they all are wonderful, but this bar is my favorite.



































The scent is lovely. The oats are super moisturizing. And, it's just plain great!



If you haven't tried it, you should! Especially if you have dry skin!



































What's your favorite soap scent? Is there something I should be adding to my collection? Any suggestions?



Send me an email or drop me a note on my Facebook Page to tell me your favorite scent!

Legend Beer Soap

Check this beer soap out! Made from another local brew!



It turned out really well! I am really loving the beer soaps! So creamy and moisturizing!



I love the natural color that beer gives the soap!



































This time I used Legend's Brown Ale and added a little sweet orange essential oil!



































Great unisex fragrance!



Also, I added some oats and dried citrus peels!



This is a great bar! Ladies, even you will love this!

Orange you lovely!

WOW! I am so excited about the latest batch of Orange Blossom!



































So pretty and colorful!



In the Orange Blossom, I use activated charcoal! It is a natural colorant and the type I use is made from bamboo wood (a renewable resource). Some say it helps to remove impurities. If you like my orange blossom, it's likely because of the activated charcoal I use. I think it adds a little extra something to the bar besides just being pretty!



































What do you think?



Of course the poppy seeds are included for exfoliation. Have you noticed that I just love poppy seeds?



Have a great weekend!

Oatmeal goodness!

Yum! Yum! Yum!!




Another staple in my collection!



An absolute must if you have dry skin or need a super gentle soap!



































 Super creamy and smooth!



Have you tried the Oatmeal, Milk, and Honey yet?



Check it out here!

Can we get more tropical?

I don't know what it is about shells that I love so much, but I just love them!



I incorporated them into my latest batch of Tropical Waters Soap!



Can you say lovely?!?!



































 This is one of my most popular scents and now it's even better! Love the shells!



Find me at two events in April with these lovelies!! Fool for Art on April 13! and...Spring Bada Bing on April 20!

A year ago today...

...we brought home the little man!



































He was only 4.5 pounds...











and, look at him now! 20 pounds!





My big boy!! A frisbee catching big boy!





Time sure does fly doesn't it?



He's brought our whole family so much laughter and fun! He completes our family! That deserves a big smile...



He brightens our days and always makes us smile! He cheers up my 93 year old Grams! He's already performing his therapy dog duties!

We are so blessed to have our little guy! Charlie Boy is our little star!

Even better, today is Dad's birthday too! So, we brought Charlie home on my Dad's 62nd birthday last year! What an awesome gift if you ask me! So, today is a great day for lots of reasons!
