Stirred by hand, poured into wooden molds, cured and aged into a mild PH balanced bar, Delores Harris of Daisy May Natural Soap has created pure luxury in her handcrafted 4 oz bars of soap.
Made with high quality pure lye, vegetable shortening, oils, water and natural scents, the soaps are available in fruity florals and soothing spicy herbals. Unlike commercial soaps, these soaps leave my skin incredibly soft and fresh with no film. Don’t believe me? Ask my boyfriend. He keeps asking why my skin is so soft and consistently comments on the pleasant scent.
While you may not have access to the J.J. Byrne weekend farmer’s market, you can find a local soap vendor at Handcrafted Soap Makers Guild Inc. or Etsy. Go ahead, get out there and support true artisans and local businesses.
In an effort to pair down my makeup bag, I’ve been on a hunt for products that work overtime on both my lips and cheeks. Sounds simple enough, but it’s harder than you’d expect to find a product that looks flattering enough to give me a warm glow, but still give good gloss on my lips. After much experimenting, I finally found a winner from makeup artist extraordinaire 
My mother, a Chic lady herself, instilled in me the power of a coupon at a young age. I have fond memories of snipping away coupons from the newspaper at the kitchen table on Sunday mornings, astonished that we were savvy enough to get the “Buy One Get One Free Breyer’s Ice Cream” special or “20% off the new Ralph Lauren comforter set.” No longer a “little girl,” my love for coupons remains and has been taken to the next level.
