BRRRR!!!!!
Is it ever cold here in Indiana! The snow has been flying, and the temperatures have been hitting the big goose egg. My weather man is predicting up to 10 inches of snow by tomorrow afternoon! I can't seem to keep enough seed in the feeders to keep my beloved birds happy, and my barn cat has been using every sneaky trick he knows to try to get into the house. Before anyone accuses me of being mean to the cat, let it be known that my husband provided him with a box out in the barn, complete with heat lamp and one of his old work coats for bedding. Let's keep our fingers crossed, and hope that Ground Hog Phil doesn't feel the need to crawl back in his hole on February 2nd.

Beside white stuff and the numbing cold, February also brings a Winter Blah Buster Event to The Original Soap Dish®:

Avocado Mint Fragrance
This is a wonderfully light, fresh scent blending ripened avocado with the perfect touch of invigorating mint. If you're looking for a scent to help "green" up your product line, this crisp clean scent is an absolute essential.


Silky Smooth Lip Conditioner
A couple of weeks ago, my oldest son was complaining that his lips were chapped, and we were almost out of lip balm. I told him to start drinking more water, and that I would make a new batch of lip balm. I decided that it was time to reformulate my lip balm, as I've been using the same recipe for years, and I've learned considerably more about formulating since then. The new formula is a vast improvement over the old one, and was awarded my son's approval. I imagine that his girlfriend appreciates his newly silky smooth lips. This formula contains just enough beeswax to provide a protective barrier, but the fractionated coconut oil gives it a nice glide. Castor oil, with it's unique fatty acid profile and esters, helps pull moisture into the lips, while cocoa butter, jojoba oil, and avocado oil provide deep conditioning.

20% Beeswax
