Back from New York

China Town. There were roasted chickens and ducks with the heads still on in the windows. The fish markets left the nose in a whirl!!!






Here are the three musketeers. My 2 boys and my niece. We stayed at my other sister's new house. As you can see she is still unpacking. The kids only look innocent.....they are not.



The flying raptor. I wish he would give me a good picture





The professor, aka the brain.








Night at the museum T- Rex




This is a display of a coral reef in the BAHAMAS



A grand time was had by all and we are going to make another trip before winter. There is so much to see. I would not mind living there!

The Global Garden


I was inspired by this name by another soaper. Her soap did not look like this but about 3 months ago a patient came to my office oooowwwing and aaaawwwing about this soap she bought at LUSH in Italy. It was only available there and not at the Lush stores in other countries.

So 3 days ago when I saw that name I got a wonderful idea. I had about 40 pounds of soap that I forgot to put fragrance in for a wholesale order just sitting on the rack. It was time to try rebatching as per instruction of another great soaper Miss Lilly.


Here is my first exfoliating soap and I love it. It looks rough but it is not that bad at all. Fragance with Lime EO. The additives are


FLAX SEED from USA
LAVENDER – BULGARIA
POPPY SEED – TURKEY
BROWN SUGAR – PUERTO RICO
OAT – SOUTH AMERICA
RED TEA – AFRICA
RICE BRAN – CHINA
NETTLE LEAF – AUSTRAILIA
LEMONGRASS – BAHAMAS
NEEM SEED - BAHAMAS

and yes that pic shows a soap that is slightly used. I did HP method so I was able to use it 24hr later, and use it and use it. It felt and smelled so good!!!

quote

To waste and destroy our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them. - Theodore Roosevelt


One would think that by now we would have gotten this right. My only question is what does it take for people to really listen. He was the president of the United States. I think he had a bit of respect and authority.

New Soap Boxes


Thanks to Jon and Dottie at Sunshine Package, I have a new box that fits my soaps perfectly and also reflects my island theme. I had this custom made by sending them a bar of my soap and a scribbled diagram.

Life is short.Really it is.....

I just buried another friend this weekend. 43 years old...It confirmed my thoughts and fellings on the pharse, Dare to dream. It is not just a fluke that many people are able to live their dreams. In my opinion, there is one thing they all have in common and that is they KNOW what there dream is. Someone told me once that to reach my goal, I would have to focus on it. As simple as this may sound, you would be surprise how many people do not know what there dream is.
There are to many of us who are just living day to day and letting destiny form you. Take control of your own destiny.
