There is a lot of hand work I need to do there, so I am leaving this site up until all that work is done.
All new entries will go on the new site.
All the entries from this site are on the new site, but may not be formatted.
Thanks for your patience during this transition.

A Natural High
All natural aromatherapy bodycare products, handcrafted by a trained herbalist. Products are made from whole foods and essential oils. Some ingredients have wonderful stories, such as, "For the people of Bali, the sea is considered sacred water. It is used in Balinese ceremonies and purification rituals. Many in Bali believe that the sea has the power to both purify and sanctify. Traditional Bali sea salts are famous for their ancient methods used to produce the crystals. The Balinese only dry during the warm months as the sun is essential for the drying process. The sea water is placed in tree trunks (specially hollowed out for this process) for evaporation, which takes approximately one week. Then, the solid crystals are carried to a drying platform and stored in a grass hut to be dried further by a coconut husk fire. Finally, the salt crystals are then sun-dried again." Doesn't that sound like these bath salts will bring a sacred Bali sea to your bathtub? Also aromatherapy grade essential oils.
