Sunshining Days

I like color in my lip balm. I like a little sparkle in my lip balm.

How do make lip balms with these two things in them? And can I do it using all natural ingredients?

Yes! I'm sure you have heard of mica powder... If not, this is what it is:

Mica is a silicate mineral used in cosmetics for its brilliant or shimmering appearance, according to Wikipedia

I hate  don't enjoy gloomy, rainy days! And I don't think there is even such a thing as a "perfect" rainy day.... Unless of course you like rainy days. I am not one of those people.

This weekend was gloomy and rainy. Everything was soggy and dripping.  Grey and blah! Hopefully, you get the idea..(running out of adjectives over here).

It has been awhile since I have posted anything.

It has been a busy past couple weeks!

A couple people I know, had a wedding celebration and I was able to help out!

I made 24 lip balm favors for the ladies that would be attending.

This past week I was making some lip balms *cough*

LABELS! Labels for two lip balms. The pictures are slowly making their way to the web. I really enjoy making labels, it is probably my favorite part of this business, next to making a new lip balm. 

As of right now my favorite lip balm that I have made is the Limesickle! I am offically addictied to this one!  Speaking of which... Where is my tube?

Anyway, now my lips are moistrized, Today I am making a batch of Classic Wintergreen, on request of some of my friends. I agree, the wintergreen will surely help during this time of year. It is freezing outside!

I don't know about you, but with me, all this cold air and wind blowing outside if and when I am outside (which is...
