BIG NEWS!

Hello!

Ok, so new bloggers get distracted, right? I sure hope that's the case for everyone because at the moment I'm writing this, looking out the window, listening to the TV, designing new things, and going through a list of orders in my head. Multi-tasking is my best friend...and worst enemy!

BIG NEWS!
....I MADE THE ETSY FRONT PAGE!!





So, what else is new here? 
I had my first photoshoot for The Pretty Do-Good!

Here's a few samples:



Ohh pretty birdy!
Did I mention I'm always distracted? Like now. But hey, at least it's never boring here!

Well, That's all folks!
I bid you adieu

Much Love

Intros and Face Scrubs

“Who are you?” said the caterpillar.
“… I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.”
So, who am I? I’m an artist, a free-thinker, and an eco-conscious chaotic mind. I drink tea. Lots and lots of tea. Coffee runs through my veins. I can’t choose between the two. I can’t choose between much of anything, really. My mind greatly resembles a pile of mexican jumping beans.
The Pretty Do-Good is jewelry, art and all these wonderful things that I just can’t lump into one category. I make all of it. I sell it, give it away, wear it….all that good stuff. Everything I make benefits something beyond my pocket. Many things are re-used, upcycled, and the eco-conscious person’s best friend. Other things I make with new (or fairly new) materials. Part of the profits from these items are then put towards a good cause. Mostly, in honor of my father, it will be to Good Shepard Hospice and different animal shelters in need. I made The Pretty Do-Good for those who not only like awesome handmade things, but who like to “do good” (….get it?)
So, on that note. Let’s make stuff, shall we? I’m absolutely in love with naturally made, well, anything….. Specifically, I am very particular with what goes on my face, my hair, or enters my body. Eat well, Live well... Beauty is not only skin deep (and some other awesomely true cliches).
Well, anyway…feel the need for a face scrub, yes?
My face is SO very temperamental. So, I have to be very careful with what I put on it. It’s dry, but oily and still thinks its still a teenager at times. This scrub is a great for a once in a while renewal. It helps when my face is oily and exfoliates it without that oh so lovely irritation I get with some scrubs. Plus, with the brown sugar and oats, I don’t need to make that oh-so-hard decision on what to eat for breakfast.
Oh! Banana! Banana is so great to add (to breakfast AND this scrub) Adding banana to this scrub makes your skin SO beautifully soft.
