“If
I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier
in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would
go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I
would pick more daisies.” -Nadine Stair
Those
who know me well appreciate why I love this quote. Like
Nadine Stair, I would describe myself as inherently practical,
and probably a little too serious. I'm a person to be relied
upon, especially in difficult situations, and one of my
great strengths is that I'm a problem solver. The down side
of these characteristics is that I can miss out on a lot
of fun. Since I was a child I've loved daisies and daffodils,
and I've hated wearing shoes, so that makes me hopeful that
I'm not a completely lost cause. The snow outside my office
is gone, and I'm happy to say that I've already started
running around in my bare feet. Now you understand why I'm
always complaining about cold toes in February!
My husband has set up sugar camp in our woods, and once again
it's time for maple syrup and French toast in the Bailey household.
One of the things I love about the sugaring season is that
I get to watch the world wake up from it's long winter nap
up close and personal. Already, I've noticed a shift in the
behavior of the birds, and their song is becoming distinctively
more musical. Right now the ground is cold and wet, but by
the time we take the taps out of the trees and tear down the
sugar camp, the first bits of life will begin to peek out
from under the leaf litter.

Quaternized Honey - We have added
this item to our product line to replace the
Honeyquat we previously carried. Made from
natural
honey, our quaternized honey is an
excellent humectant, binding environmental
moisture to itself, thereby increasing the
moisturization of skin and hair. Moisture
uptake studies show that quaternized honey
has twice the moisturizing ability of glycerin.
It has the ability to soften and plasticize
the skin by adding critical moisture. On hair,
it leaves a clean, conditioned feeling, enhancing
shine and luster due to its smoothing properties,
especially on damaged hair. Quaternized honey
will help to improve wet-combability of the
hair and reduce and eliminate static build-up.
Use in Luxury
Lotion or Emu
& Shea Cream formula. Clear to
slightly hazy, pale straw colored liquid.
Recommended usage is 2% to 5%. INCI: Hydroxypropyl-trimonium
Honey

The
answer to the February trivia question: Some people
used to believe that if a woman saw a robin flying
overhead on Valentine's Day it meant she would marry
a sailor, if she saw a goldfinch, she would marry
a rich man. The bird she would have to see on Valentine's
Day if she were to marry a poor man and be very
happy is a sparrow.
