I just was reminding myself yesterday to go buy some! :) You have good taste for sure Amy! Curious if anyone has a "crush" on a good eye/wrinkle cream? I've been on the market for one but most are pricey and I don't want to pay for something that's no good. Oh my goodness, I have a major crush on Hempz lotion as well!!

Even adding cocoa and lemon peels makes different fragrances. Yes on the oil use Coconut oil, you can also put in Rosemary that makes a heavenly foot scrub, or use peppermint instead of the Rosemary.

Have you tried the new dark chocolate Cadbury eggs? I might have eaten 3/4 of the bag...love that mascara in the very black & waterproof as well! I like the slipper socks for cold Utah days. I do like that blizzard, but if they added cookie dough chunks, I'd be sold! Fun there's a lot of the same crushes! My nighttime routine involves putting Vaseline on my lips & knuckles to keep them soft too! K my mom always gets on my case about chewing ice, but I’m perfectly healthy and I do it all the time!

Would you be willing to let me see how yours works?I am also based in Cape Town and I could do with some advice from someone who has figured out the ropes all by herself. If not, maybe you know of someone who does demonstrations? Thank you Nicole Hi Wendy

I for one have to say that for many years I sold online and craft shows, and never felt threatened by someone "learning" how to create or purchase items. I was one of the few out there who on my blog and website would give weekly tutorials on how to create items, which included all the sources to purchase those items. I have NEVER felt my business was threatened by that. I will say MANY people do NOT have a creative bone in them...or the time...and will just purchase the item. I think we should feel more threatened by "importing" than from another crafter! SO, HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH...TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR WORK...AND YOUR WORK WILL SHINE ABOVE THE REST!

My daughter's knees were awful looking since she has been crawling like mad and refuses to keep her pants on. I'm not the best at remebering lotion, but nothing I was using was making them look any better. I tried curell, johnsons, aveeno, and an eczema lotion for babies. My pediatrician gave me a handful of trial tubes of aquaphor, and I only had to put it on her knees once before the rugburn/eczema was almost completely gone!!! That stuff is amazing!

Did you know that Aquaphor is what my burn unit recommended after I got a really bad burn on my legs and foot from scalding hot water - it is awesome! Blizzards - I am the Cookie Jar lover - YUMMO! I have put the Sonic/Cafe Rio ice machine on my wish list many times (still have not gotten one) .. didn't know about the iron thing - but I know mine is okee dokee.
