Have you felt like a hibernating bear this past month? Me too! Once the frantic rush of all the holiday-ing is over, January is a time of rest and recharging. It’s winter’s bleakest month – dark, barren, the weather outside most un-inviting. We’re all hiding under the warm covers yearning for spring.

Take a peek out the window. The sun is slowly, very slowly, starting to return. Each day is just a few minutes longer. As Mother Nature begins to warm up, all the little leaves, tiny sprigs and first flowers wake up. Tidbits of green suddenly pop out of everywhere, shifting the drab grey into a colorful new landscape.

That stirring of new life wakes us up as well - inspiring new ideas, hatching exciting plans, and elevating our spirits. Spring is bright with promise, brimming with hope for a better day – just as it has since time began.

New year, new season, a breath of fresh air. Woo hoo!

NEW - SPRING SEASONAL SOAPS

Spring fragrances are naturally light and fresh. Frolicking in the new grass, dancing playfully in the blooming garden, this season’s calling card is clean and pure, soft, sweet and pretty. These new scents are limited in production and available February thru April. ($ 4.50 each)

JASMINE LEMON – Soft and pretty, this blend of bright Meyer lemon and sweet jasmine flowers has been a favorite soap in seasons past and continues to be a very popular aromatic spray on our regular menu. A light butter yellow color, it will brighten up a dull shower, cheer up a dreary kitchen, or lift a cloudy day.

GRAPEFRUIT ORCHID - All citrus scents revitalize and energize, but grapefruit is queen with its effervescent, mouth-puckering zest. Exotic orchid blossom softens and adds a gorgeous floral element that creates an irresistible fragrance that’s elegant and clean. Barely peach in color this soap is a new favorite.

LAVENDER ORANGE GOAT MILK – This has been a best seller for the last two years and has been requested over and over. Calming lavender and sunny clementine orange is a fragrance marriage made in heaven - softly floral and especially dreamy. Goat milk has an abundance of moisturizing and soothing properties, along with a special combination of vitamins and minerals that repair damage and boost skin health. Its alpha-hydroxy acids remove dead skin cells, leaving skin younger looking and more radiant. This bar is extra creamy, extremely gentle, and great for sensitive skin, anti-aging, and helpful for eczema and psoriasis conditions too. (100% natural)
