We're celebrating at the shop by hosting a fall open house. I made pumpkin sugar cookies last night to serve to guests. Wow, it was challenge to not take a big bite out of one of those sugar cookies, but I didn't! Lennis did my taste testing, and I'm guessing they were tasty, because he ate four of five! I made this pumpkin icing, and my taste tester said he really liked it. I think it would be a delicious topping on chocolate cup cakes too. This is on my fall baking list...I think pears would be yummy too.
There's a lot to do today. Soap wrapping, which never really ceases, which I'm grateful to be selling so much soap. Feeling it...
I absolutely love fall! I've chatted about my admiration for the season many times.
We're expecting more new items. In fact, I make new things, or order in a variety of nouvea goods every week. It's exciting to sniff your way around and continuously discover new favorite fragrances.
I was thinking about how there's so many bath chains, and wondering if most folks stop to think what's in this? My experience over the past twenty years, some do, some don't. I do believe people in general are more conscience about the layering of products. In the past, even before I became more aware of product ingredients, I'd always feel that if it contained chemicals, I'd really not enjoy using it. In the back of my mind, I'd be thinking how it was polluting my skin, therefore I wouldn't use it and end up tossing it. When it comes to skin care, less is more. The lesser of ingredients list is very important when creating an honest, good for your skin product. I'll step down now.
Feelings...
We'll try and capture some Fall Open House images today.
Keep the faith.
