I'm engaged and we have two boys, one girl, and one granddaughter in our custom blended little family. (No, I'm not old enough to be a grandmother! lol) I'm a nursing student and will graduate spring '12. I've always been a crafty bitch and wanted to open a little shop of my goodies but life happens and we don't always get what we want.</div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

I love to whip up simple, natural, spa products. I truly believe we need to take a step back and use what Mother Nature has to offer in as close to it's natural state as possible. I'm also in a very slow process of getting back to my hippie roots. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!!! The Mister is a creature of habit and a stubborn one at that. So, baby steps. lol</div><div style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
