New Addition

 

Hi folks, yes, it's me after many months. I had to take just a minute to tell you about my new addition! Of course, if you haven't forgotten about me entirely, and have been visiting my website Soothing Waters Bath & Gifts or Facebook Page, you already know. :-) For which I thank you!  If not, please stop by. I'm happy to tell you that I am now also a rep for MICHE. If you haven't heard about these amazing quick change bags, please CLICK HERE. But, the photo on the right, is the concept in a nutshell...cool, eh??!!! You never have to dump out your purse again, just change the outside!! There are 4 bag sizes to choose from. The one shown is the CLASSIC, there is one smaller and 2 larger bags, and dozens, of shells available and every month new ones are released. For example. here are the bright January releases:
 
JANUARY NEW RELEASES

Not your style? That's ok, because there are plenty of others to choose from on my website lovemybag.miche.com and there will be more added next month!  Start by choosing your bag size, then pick a shells or two, then don't forget to customize you bag with charmers and/or custom handles...the possibilities are endless. 
If you're local, (or not), you can host a PURSE PARTY and actually earn FREE STUFF!!! Plus have a great time with your friends. So contact me if you're interested.

So whether you're looking for some Organic Spa Products or Fabulous Handbags, I hope you'll think of me. Feel free to ask any questions, it's the least I could do.

Soap of the Month - NEW!


I decided to start something new, I'm really excited about it too! SOAP OF THE MONTH Feature on my bath & gift website.
You may already know we offer (in addition to gift baskets) a wide selection of natural and organic hand made soaps, lotions and other body care.
For one particular line of soaps I've decided to make it a little more fun.
Each month, or while supplies last, I'll be offering for sale a particular soap scent in a limited quantity. For example, we just added LEMON OATMEAL CLOVE as this month's special. Its smells wonderful and has bits of clove and oatmeal which acts as an exfoliator, PLUS all these soaps are made with ORGANIC SHEA BUTTER for super moisturization.


This next part is especially great...these soaps do not contain:

NO Preservatives!

NO Animal Products!
 NO Petroleum Products!
 NO Parabens!
 NO Lauryl Sulfate!
And they're only $3.95 each!!


You really can't go wrong...just be sure to act fast and check back often as I have no control over how fast or slow these sell out and I add the next new Soap of the Month...for more details check out our home page 
 * * Note our shipping tip too on the product page...get the most out of your hard earned cash. :)

What are Emollients?

Emollients are often called moisturizers. They are lotions, creams, ointments and bath/shower additives which 'oil' the skin to keep it moist. Regular use of emollients helps keep your skin soft and supple, and is especially beneficial for people with dry or problematic skin.

What types of emollients are there?

There are many types and brands of emollients ranging from runny lotions to thick ointments. The difference between lotions, creams and ointments is the proportion of lipid (oil) to water. The lipid content is lowest in lotions, intermediate in creams, and highest in ointments. The higher the lipid content, the greasier and stickier it feels, and the shinier it looks on the skin. As a general rule, the higher the lipid content (the more greasy and thick the emollient), the better and longer it works, but the messier it is to use.


It's generally best to find products that do not contain parabens or other types of synthetics preservatives, which may cause a reaction in themselves. We are happy to offer Organic Honey Hand & Body Lotion  a variety of scents. As well as Organic Honey Infused Body Butter and our newest edition of Organic HEMP and Honey lotions.  What is your favorite?

How to use your Cricut Cake

I read a lot of debate about whether to spend the money on a Cricut Cake machine. First of all, I'm a bargain hunter, I will never pay full price for anything, if I can help it. I got mine half off and brand new from eBay. But they are selling quite reasonable at many places now. 

I don't use my Cricut for every cake, but when I do use it, I love it! You can do some really cool things!! (i.e. my laundry explosion cake above).Yes you do have to play around to get the technique right (if you wanna call it a technique), but isn't that with anything? The paper cutting Cricut, same thing, practice makes perfect. I believe I have a system, that so far has worked for me when cutting fondant or gumpaste using my CC. I've made this video showing how I cut the sentiment "With Sympathy" in the 2nd try! (fyi- I don't like re-doing things over and over either). 
I hope you find this helpful...happy cakeing! :D
