Lip Service

Is it really possible to fall in love with your lip balm?? I am a fragrance person. I blend. I mix. But recently, instead of my usual routine of blending this fragrance with that fragrance, I am reaching into my handbag for my newest fix: Sara Happ Lip Slip. This is not a lip "gloss" people! This is a balm. Loaded with beeswax, jojoba & sweet almond, this is heaven in a little jar I carry in my purse.

I have also carried Sara's Lip Scrub for two years. And boy do people love them. Heaven help me if I don't have their flavor on hand when they stop by. And the simple brown box is the easiest gift in the world -- after all, who doesn't want soft lips???!!

So, if your love affair with your lip balm is not what it used to be, you may want to set up a date to try something new and see what all the fuss is about.

Sara Happ Lip Slip: $24

Sara Happ Sugar Scrub $24: Peppermint, Almond Creme, Cocoa, Brown Sugar, Vanilla Bean, Cinnamon Sugar.

Love Is In The Air

"That love is all there is

Is all we know of love" Emily Dickinson

The wonderful thing about Valentines Day is that the smallest of gestures can make the day so special. A hand-written note with a "little something" can make our day. I gave up on fancy dinners in crowded restaurants ages ago in favor of sushi in our favorite little place with our daughter and finally found a Valentines Day tradition I can remember forever.

For all the other Valentines in our lives -- the friends, kids' teachers, sisters and mothers here are a few "little somethings" that will brighten up their day without breaking the bank.

New Melange Fragrance Selections

Melange apothecary has a large selection of new fragrances and notes for Winter & Spring. While we love them all, here are a few we are using quite a bit this holiday season....

Sugandaraja - A marvelous South Indian Tuberose fragrance. Translated, Sugandaraja means the "king of flowers". We love this note alone or blended with rich tea notes, other rich floral notes such as Jasmine, Amber or Tobacco Leaf.

Tobacco Leaf - Comments range from "very sophisticated and warm" to "a wonderful pipe tobacco". Wonderful with wood notes, green tea, patchouli leaf, sugandaraja, or a hint of black tea in a home ambiance diffuser. My gift in a personal blend to quite a few discerning friends this holiday season..

Black Tea - Anybody who has ever blended in-store with me knows I adore tea notes. We have ginger tea, white tea, green tea, mandarine/tea and a fantastic new Black Tea. This is used with citrus fragrances, warm floral notes, essential oils, or alone.

Fresh Hay - Fast becoming our most popular fragrance for a Home Ambiance Diffuser. Imagine Tuscany in Autumn. Sweet yet complex; appreciated by both men and women and suitable for any area of the home. Wonderful teamed up with a light musk or rich Sandalwood.

Here's to a wonderful Holiday Season & a Happy New Year. May all your wishes come true and your fragrances be made to order!
