I've been promising for a year that this blog is "coming soon," so I thought I would get it somewhat started by linking to some blog posts I've been writing elsewhere.

I'm the least crafty person and even I managed to whip up the brown sugar and honey body scrub, stick it in a mason jar, and hot glue some pretty ribbons and a nice label to it. Just click the title above to go to the site and read up.
