Holy Grail Goodness Series Begins Today!

Good morning, Lovelies!
Today I cannot resist sharing with you a recipe that I came up with that is great for natural, kinky, coily dry hair.   It is not a product, but rather a recipe that I created several years ago when I was living in very cold Michigan during biting winters that really dried out [...]

Busy

Since August I have travelled so much and have been so busy settling in my new life that I’ve hardly had time for my shop or my blog.  Soon I will be closing down my shop temporarily to focus on my upcoming dissertation defense.  I will have a shop reopening celebration with new products, sales, [...]

Hair

I didn’t get a chance to write once I returned from New Orleans, and now I’m back from a trip to the Bay Area.  I attended a beautiful wedding, a baby shower, saw lots of friends, and went to some of my old stomping grounds from my undergraduate days at UC Berkeley.  It was a [...]

Baking Soda – a product more wonderful than you thought!

I love baking soda.  I. Love. Baking. Soda.  I LOVE baking soda!
I cannot say it enough and in enough ways to illustrate my passion for this product.  Perhaps you think passion is too strong a word, but I don’t think so.
Although I am a person who loves decadent, luxurious products, at the other end of [...]

Back from vacation

I am now back in town after having been away from home for exactly two weeks.  I left on August 5th (my wedding anniversary) to travel to Michigan for my husband’s dissertation defense.  I stayed there for a week and a half to wrap up some business in the area, take care of some writing [...]

Oral Care

Now I know that this is a bath and beauty blog, but it is also important to talk about Oral Care.  I am not sure what you ladies use, but for the past few years I have used Rose of Sharon Acres Tooth Chips.  They are made of cold-processed soap with essential oils (she used [...]
