More Than Just A Lip Balm

We like to think all of our lip balms are special, but our Love is Love Lip Balm holds a very unique place in our hearts. It isn’t just another flavor in our collection—it’s a product with a story, a purpose, and a powerful message. At first glance, Love is Love is simply a fun and playful lip balm. Each tube is made up of anywhere from three to six layers, and the best part? You never know what flavors you’re going to get. It’s like the lip balm version of a surprise bag—each swipe is a little mystery waiting...

Even The Small Linings Count

This week I am thankful for projects that work out. hahaha Now, you may think that is a very small silver lining to celebrate...and while in the grand scheme of things, you are right...but I am seriously taking ANY and ALL positives I can get this year. lol As for Christmas decorating, usually I just put up whatever decorations we have, what people have given us (yes, we have people who give us Christmas decorations almost every year...mostly my mother...hahaha) whenever I feel like for that year. Sometimes some of them stay in the boxes downstairs, other years I bring...

I loved everything about it. I still try to enjoy...

Pagans, Jesus, Santa and Rabbits

Happy Easter weekend, or as I prefer to call it rabbit chocolate turd weekend.  Seriously have you never made the connection easter eggs bear a striking resemblance to little rabbit poops?  It got me thinking why is a rabbit even connected to Easter.  I guess it goes back to Lutherans in Germany who portrayed the rabbit as a judge of whether children were naughty or nice...wait a minute.  The rabbit also brought coloured eggs, candy and sometimes toys to good little children...is this for real?  The rabbit brings them in the night before Easter so when the children wake up...

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Christmas

Turn on your television on any given evening these days and you'll likely find all the good parts of Christmas from friends, family, presents, parties, beliefs, and overall joy.  The truth is for most of us, though, Christmas is not always 100% joy and all the good things.  If you have ever spent a Christmas with sick kids or sick yourself you will know exactly what I mean.  If you have ever lost a loved one during the season, you will know the heartache that can come with Christmas.  There is even some bad found in the good quite often when it...
