Smooth Away
I don't usually buy "as seen on TV" products, however, I did buy the Smooth Away. I was tired of plucking the inevitable chin and mustache whiskers that come with age.I have to say, I am impressed. I used it on my legs, underarms, mustache and chin.I have not had to shave under my arms or my legs for over a week. The mustache is gone. The only place that it doesn't seem to work well is on my chin. It removes the hair but it is back within a couple of days. Read Full Story

Five Years Ago Today
Rob met me at the Manchester, NH airport. I was sooo nervous I didn't even see him standing there and started to walk right past him. I was here a couple of hours when his younger sister came by and interrogated me. Funny out of everything she asked the question I remember is "How long are going to be here?" My answer was "As long as he wants me here."Later we went to see his father in the nursing home and his older sister was there and I got the second degree from her... Read Full Story
Don't let fear hold you back
We had an idea, we made soaps for ourselves, we like them, other people that have used them like them, so why not sell them. Of course before we could do that we had to invest in supplies, more supplies than we would use for just us. When it comes to investing money to start a business you have to deal with the fear that it might not make it. You have to ask if you have faith in your product. We have faith in our product and took our savings and invested in supplies.Now the question was... Read Full Story
In Memory
It was a Friday, May 13, 2005. I talked on the phone with my mom that day. My mom lived with my brother, Willie, and he was home because it was too muddy to work. He worked for a drilling company. I almost asked to talk to him then decided I would do it next time because I was running out of time to get ready for work. I got off work at midnight and Rob picked me up as usual. When we got home he poured me a glass of wine and said you need to call Chris. Right then my stomach leapt into... Read Full Story
Do You Wii?
My sister has a Wii and we had so much fun together bowling on it that mom decided I needed one. I have always loved video games, after all they came out in my generation, but I have to say that I haven't had as much fun with one as I have had with this one. What a great idea, play games and get some exercise at the same time. We love the Wii sports that came with our Wii. Of course my boyfriend seems to beat me most of the time, but I am improving. We did get a couple of games that... Read Full Story

Been Busy
Hi all,Sorry I've been gone for so long. In February my boyfriend and I decided to turn our soap making hobby into a home business.

I will try to get on at least once a week and hopefully have something interesting to write about. Read Full Story
