I designed Rub Me All Over for a friend of mine who was really into weight lifting. An essential oil mix of coriander and rosemary, safely diluted in sunflower oil, gives the sense of a slight warmth that allows the muscles to loosen up a bit and release some of that soreness. I use it [...]
When my Bucza1 was dying, we flew her sister Helen2 come over from Poland to help care for her. In the process of helping Aunt Helen learn the basics of the area where her sister lived, my parents had to show her the post office, the pharmacy, and the grocery store. My mother started with [...]
Vegan labeling is hot-hot-hot these days, and we bath and body sellers are pretty eager to ride that bunny to a few bucks. The problem with saddling up, however, is that too many consumers and sellers alike just don’t understand the nature of the beast: Vegan means no animal products or byproducts whatsoever. Some people [...]
I get asked more and more regularly by people who live close to my locale whether I have a storefront. I don’t. While I know there are potential customers who would only consider buying from me if I had a physical storefront, I am placing my faith in the increasingly Internet-savvy group of customers who [...]

Having lived in Minnesota, this tells me that somebody’s wealthy kid had to sit next to somebody else who was not so considerate with the perfume application. In public schools, where kids are required to sit in close quarters for hours and hours, the recipe for misery and allergic reaction is obvious.
We’re witnessing a great big fancy revival of DIY culture and spirit. Anyone “hip” has to get their little hands dirty creating something to wear, or taste, or to furnish – and this is great. Sometimes it saves money. Sometimes these little diy-ers discover hidden talents. And I know that many are taking away the [...]
No, I did NOT forget about this series. I just had to set it aside because digging through regulations is a brain-numbing process, especially when it involves US regulations where some things are enforced, some things are not, and new information is storming the Internet like flying monkeys every single day.

I pulled this book from the Etsy book club reading list – I usually can’t participate in their online meetings, but I make time to read the books. This particular book grabbed my attention because of what it means to me as a female microbusiness owner. Perhaps calling it a book review is a misnomer [...]
