These days are behind me and over the years, I’ve learned so much about self-love. I’ve learned that self-care doesn’t have to mean spending hundreds of dollars […]

I was never, ever, ever going to make soap. Summer after summer inside my lil’ shoppe on Put-in-Bay, visitors would come in and ask if I was the one who made the bars of soap in our shoppe. My answer for two summers, “Oh, I don’t have time for that. I’ll never, ever make soap. These bars are made by a nice woman on the mainland.” I guess I need my mouth washed out with soap for telling a lie, because now, for four years, I’ve been making soap. And, I LOVE IT! The reason I love it? Because, just […]
