Earth Body Bar is here!

Finally after a long week I have got something to show for my work, just in time to be thankful.

These body bar soaps are made with hemp seed oil, dead sea mud and the lovely scent of Nag Champa. Hemp seed oil is a great skin moisturizer with a light green tint, and dead sea mud is thought to have many healthful properties and adds a wonderful silky lather that is great for shaving.
All soon to be available on my zibbet and etsy stores.
Now to get ready for the holidays!

Weekly Wrap up

This past week has been a whirl wind of fun! We spent the first half of it in the Washington DC area for a wedding, and reunion with some college friends. Our daughter cut a rug at the reception in a last minute fabulous find dress, and my hubby took one for the team bruising his chest during the chair dance.

Some tips to share for traveling with toddlers: 

1. Find an airline with a tv for each seat.
2. The CARES harness system is FAA approved and so much easier than the car seat ( if you have to take the car seat, check it doesn't cost anything if you travel with a kid).
3. Stroller them if you can check it at the boarding gate.
4. Bring food but don't freak if a strict security checker makes you throw away the juice boxes (LAX let em through, IAD wouldn't makes me wonder if they would have let me keep the capri salad that I made for the trip out, it was so yummy). 

While traveling our schedule goes out the window, but we communicate with our kiddo at every step of the way. Before the trip we tell her what we might do or see, then during we take breaks, snack and talk about our adventures. While there she had her first experience riding a subway and learned how to behave, we taught her how to ride the escalator (staying on the right so others could pass on the left), how to ride standing without falling down, and what was an appropriate talking volume. Amazing what kids will enjoy, the huge dinosaurs in the Museum of Natural History not so much. It was the first trip where I was not itching to get home, I was glad to be back but I had so much fun hanging out with old friends and their families that I had begun to forget we are all scattered around the US.

Now back home, and the daily routines, clean house, laundry and the like are done for the week. I have uploaded and edited most of my new Zibbet store. I haven't upgraded to a premium account yet, that would give me the features I wanted that Etsy was lacking, like coupons and store discounts. I have purchased a book about the craft business and hope to finish it this weekend. This evening I am hosting a craft night with some lovely mama's and look forward to all the crafty fun that will bring. I have thoughts about making it a regular thing but with a theme, topic or project, who knows. Off to make homemade ricotta (thanks Mom) and get the house ready for guests.

What are you planning with the rest of your weekend?

Another lovely treasury!

One of my favorite things about selling in a venue like Etsy is the connection around the world to other sellers and buyers. This treasury comes from a lovely woman named Vaida check out her shop here. She is in Lithuania a place I may never see in this lifetime, but through her shop, flickr and blog I get to see some parts of the world that are just magical in their beauty.

Thank you Vaida. I hope you all enjoy!

Happy Friday!

RitualBath

I am so excited to announce that I am on the second page of the Google search of Ritual Bath. Wohoooo, work and careful attention is paying off. The Etsy store shows up first and at the bottom of the page is our beloved Tales from the Tub. Thanks to all who have visited or added the feed to their RSS readers. Don't forget to sign up for my monthly newsletter (it's at the left of this post), not only is it only monthly and has different info and contests then the blog but it is linked to my CafePress store. There you can find tees and totes with the RitualBath logo as well as some original artwork, and RitualBath does make small profit from each item sold. Not to mention the advertising you would be doing by wearing the label around town.

Thanks again,
Head Bather

P.S. I am working on some room sprays, and want your input so stay tuned!
