Of course we love you men! ;)


I received the nicest e-mail today from a lovely gentleman who asked if I make any soap products that cater to men! Well howdy-do, we sure DO! But this also made me aware that perhaps I maybe don't point that out often enough...that we love you men and your special skincare needs, too!

In fact I've created an entire line of soaps specifically with you in -mind, called Simply Men, and be sure to check out all of our sensitive skin lines as well, because I know many of you have skin as tender and finicky as us ladies!

In our new Ancient Alchemy line (pictured above) we have soaps men love, namely our D'Artagnan puck-shaped shave soap (and soap bowls available!), based on an ancient and authentic Brown Windsor Soap recipe!

And.....if you happen to like patchouli (which I personally do!), may I suggest our popular Bog Bar (also in the Ancient Alchemy line!), which is a scent blend of patchouli and lime and oh my, is it DIVINE! It's also enriched with imported Transylvanian bog peat to warm the skin & circulation and faciliate a smooth shave! The scent drives me utterly wild when my husband uses it! It "may" bring out the vampire in your woman!

So please, dear men.... don't think for a moment that I'd neglect to think of YOU! And remember that we are ALWAYS open to new suggestions!

Come To the Beltane Fire

Beltane (May Day) is months away, still...I feel a yearnin' fer it! Get here, Spring! Perhaps I subconsciously am thinking that Spring will help blow away the Winter of our Discontent....
A new piece:
"Come To the Beltane Fire"

And speaking of witchiness, be sure to check out our new Wylde Wytch Soap line! Which followed on the heels of our very popular Wylde Faerie Soap line! AND also filled with ancient wisdom, our Ancient Alchemy soap line!
We're sure you could use some *magic* in your life 'bout now! *wink*
Thanks for visiting!

Scatter Gardens!

I don't even live in snow country so I don't have any valid complaint about being tired of winter already....but I am!

One thing my mind always turns to ths time of year is When can I plant my spring garden already?!?!? My garden is more than a bunch of pretty flowers and herbs....it's my respite, my secret place to go to escape, read a book, burn some incense, dig my toes in the dirt, sip a glass of wine, just "be". So I think THAT is what I'm missing more than anything ...and tired of the empty dirt plot with lonely pet headstone markers it currently is during the winter.

I'm not one to push products, well, except for my own...hehe...but a friend sent me one of these http://www.flowergardenkits.com/category/33305 and I must say, just seeing it sitting on my kitchen shelf, waiting for the weather to be just enough over the cold hump to go plant it, that I get excited every time I see that silly bag sitting there! Sure, you can make your own Scatter Garden kit yourself...but this is also a cool gift idea!

Anyway...just thought I'd share. And if you too are counting the days for winter to be over....having a Scatter Garden kit or packs of seeds sitting on your shelf just might hurry winter along!

Enjoy your day!

Economy.....

K...I may be very simple-minded, not to mention REALLY weary of all this TARP haggling going on in the news, but the simple fact is, the US. Census (according to www.census.gov) is currently: 305,735,646 people

Um...can't the government just send each man/woman/child who is part of that census like a mil or so each (way less than the BILLIONS they're arguing over to bail out companies not even worth what they are asking for, to be bailed out!) and this economic crisis would be over and we all could get on with life and what we each do???
