Wow, it's crazy to think that 2026 is here and already coming into spring. I don't know where time went. The start of the year has not gone as planned, but I'm trying my best to kick out my sinus issues and push through to get ready for this year. It's been a slow start for sure and I feel behind and now having to run a marathon to catch up. There is a lot going on and life happens. After the season in 2025, it ended in December, then it was the holidays and then here it is the first of the year. I have had to deal with my sinus issues since the start of the year. To be completely honest, there have been other life changes that have my full attention as well. First wife life and spending time with my husband. I do my best to keep everything balance and yet give everything the time that it deserves. Then, then there are the grandkids that are my world. I love nothing more than getting to spend any time that I can with them. With everything going on I need to re-evaluate and think about what and where I want this business to go.

I have had orders through out my off season and I appreciate each and everyone of you that has ordered. It is such a blessing for sure.

My vision or the direction I want to go with my business will to eventually do away with farmers markets. I have enjoyed every year and love meeting people, but the reality is my products are not weather friendly. It's a lot of time and money spent on supplies to make these products and I want them to be the very best when you receive them. The bath bombs can fade in the sun and I have also seen it turn the shrink wrap to yellow and it's then not a way that I want to display my products to sell to anyone. I have had to be creative and try to repackage them so that doesn't happen, but also to keep cost down so that I don't have to change my prices. I like to keep my prices reasonable but yet for me profitable. The soaps can also get sticky during transferring out of the house then to hot and humid weather and then back in the air conditioning when I get home. It has been a learning curve and packaging has been a battle for me. I have a certain look for each of my products and want them to be presentable and sellable. I am looking into other avenues for you to receive your products. I do have of course my website for you to check out, I do offer shipping to the tri-state area. I have my online shopping that I hope to have released by the middle of March. It has been a challenge to learn how to get it all set up correctly so that you have a smooth shopping experience. Please let me know if you have any issues. I also have something in the works, but more details on that later. I do have a plan once I have built up my inventory and can manage all avenues. 

This has been an amazing journey, one that I could have never dreamed of. It's been something of my own and I have not had that before. By no means will this be something that will be full time. I only wish what I know now, I would have known years earlier in life. It may have been something. It takes a lot to run a business, and I don't have to go into all of that, but I can say that I did it and have loved every minute of it. Who knows what's to come, at some point this may fade out, but I will keep making products for my family as I have learned and definitely want to know what's going on my skin.

But for now... I will post on my page any markets that I will be at. I did make the decision to cut down on those. I really enjoyed only doing them part time last year. That was time to stock up, make what I need to for the next one. This year, if approved I will only have a few that I will be attending. I will keep you posted.

A HUGE shout out to all of my customers, I can't thank you enough. It's been a blessing to meet everyone and help educate on my products and happy to hear that you have enjoyed them.

Thank you,

Kelly <3
