What's up with Rachel today!


Good morning my scrappy friends! :) Well I am on day three of my flu/virus/cold - thingie. Not sure what it is, but I feel real yucky! My kiddos came down ill last week, and you know how it goes, Mommy is usually the last to get it but get's a good dose! BLECK!

It's uber windy around here. We live in New Mexico, The Land of Enchantment, and with all of the sand and dirt that's flying around here from the desert dunes, I don't see how that is particularly enchanting and it's stirring up allergies somethin' fierce! lol

Don't you just love this time of year? Spring is here, the grass is getting greener, the wind is picking up! lol My Dolly Parton Roses are starting to bud, I can't wait for them to be in full bloom! I let them bloom out and once it's time for the pedals to fall I collect them, dry them and put them in soap. SOAP? Yes, for my friends and readers who have not seen alot of me in the last couple of years, I started my own product line. For myself and alot of my family members, sensative skin, allergies and psoriasis is a common occurance, and therefore we are unable to use alot of skin care products without it causing a rash. I discovered through trial and error that alot of the problem was Sodium laurel Sulfate, which is a chemical surfactant ( foaming agent), found in engine degreaser, laundry soap, dish soap, bar soap , tooth paste etc. I started making old fashion handmade soap, the way our great grandmothers used to make it , but without the tallow. I use olive oil and goats milk instead. WOW, talk about an amazingly rich lathering and superbly moisturing bar of soap! It's so natural and gentle it can be used on your delicate facial skin, and NO SLS!
Well, after months of formulation and trying new things in the soap I introduced my new product line for sensative skin, true natural skin care about 1 1/2 years ago and Here I am. Working from home, selling my products online and localy and featured in Meryl Norman Cosmetics Studios. :) So , the point is.... my lovely roses go on to another life after they have wilted and their luster has faded. I put them in one of my soaps, Called Victoria and it is absolutely AMAZING! :) You can check out my soaps and other skin care products at www.soaps-n-suds.com .

So it's spring time, and everything is blooming and growing and it's APRIL...... EASTER!!! :) This month I created an Easter Themed kit, which has become pretty popular, already. I have sold several of them and they keep going off my digital shelf like mad. :) So Today, with easter coming this weekend, I am offering a Mini Kit Freebie. Yep! In this freebie download, you will get to sample my easter kit, which will include an easter paper and some cute easter embellishments! So who downloaded and enjoyed the Grab Bag for this week??? Isn't that Mini Kit adorable??? Download the Easter Mini Kit in the next post and I am missing all of the comments.

Also, if you are unfamilur with my downloading agent, I switched to Godaddy.com's file folder. I used to use 4shared, and I may switch because for some reason I am not getting picked up my digi free anymore. Anyone know how I can contact maria to tell her that the feed is fixed and I made a change to my file host?

Well, Love, Peace and Chicken Grease guys. See ya on the next download. If you have not aquired a copy of my updated TOU, please download it today! Thanks a bunch. - Rachel
