Knot-Suds

Two great things come from infusing oils here.  The oil infusion itself, which is used for various ointments and salves, and Knot-Suds.

Knot-Suds, a play on words regarding the fact that it is not a bubble bath, is a cheese-cloth bundle of the oil-soaked botanicals from the infusion process.  They make for a sumptuous soaking experience in the bathtub!

This round of Knot-Suds are lavender with sweet almond oil.  Each bundle is good for one soaking bath, and can be composted after use (except the ribbon tying it off).

Medications and Mother's Milk

I just found out that there is a new hotline for finding out what meds are safe while breastfeeding (from Dr. Hale's group)!! Many thanks to Alicia for sharing the info--I'm very excited about this development!

Pre-Orders for Ointment/Salves

Now taking pre-orders for chest congestion ointments and BooBooGoo. They'll be ready for pick-up in 2-3 weeks (due to the infusion process for the carrier oil used in the salves).

The chest congestion ointment is a non-petroleum aromatherapy alternative to name-brand menthol ointments. It is what I slather my spasmodic croup child's feet with when we're heading into an episode, or my family has chest-gunk going on.

The BooBooGoo is a non-petroleum aromatherapy alternative to name-brand antibiotic ointments. We've had great success with it for all sorts of scrapes and scraps--it goes traveling and camping with us and has a permanent place in our family first aid kit.

$15 for .5oz jar

Burlington Christmas Market

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling too...

It's that time of year again! The Burlington Christmas Market opens today!!

The Market is being held in the old Liz Claiborne storefront, a couple doors down from Carters. Lots of returning vendors, and lots of new vendors--it's all so very exciting! Don't forget--the Burlington Christmas Market has a fan page on Facebook. Be sure to look it up and "like" it; the page will be updated regularly with events as well as vendor highlights, etc. Even the Burlington Outlet Village fan page is posting about the Christmas Market!

My chair and I will be there Fridays and Saturdays 3-7p. Still that great value of $5 per 5-minute increment.

Aromatherapy products will be available as a special order item. Most items can be delivered the next market day, or arrangements can be made during the week.
