I just added a bunch of new lip balm flavors to the shop, and to celebrate, I’m giving away a free tube of honey to all who mention their inappropriate love for Tom Jones in the note to seller at checkout from now until tomorrow night at midnight EST. Gross, people.

I just added some newly cured soaps to the shop! Well, one’s an old favorite, but the other two are brand new to the lineup. My personal favorite is tomato leaf. Because a) I’m unconventional, b) I’m a garden nerd, and c) I’m famously obsessed with home grown tomatoes.
I’m almost finished moving my entire stock and all of my equipment to the yurt (yay!) so expect some pics and more new scents soon. Also almost finished making and mailing all of the wedding favor orders (double yay!) so expect some new civilian lip flavors to hit the shop really soon. Like ginger peach, loganberry, almond, and vanilla pear, just to name a few. Who knows, I may even start posting every day again once the dust settles…

We started yesterday thinking we’d spend the day at the Old Port Festival in Portland getting our faces painted, but after a twenty-second discussion about parking decided to spend the day alternatively. At the ocean. So, we began at Marshall Point Lighthouse up in Port Clyde and worked our way south to the Salt Pond Preserve in New Harbor, stopping at the launch to my old summer camp, Audubon’s Hog Island campus. Until this year it was an ecology camp, basically a non-stop forge of yurt-dwelling conservation fiends and impromptu wildlife rehabilitators. Weird, right?
Yes, I’m a tease.
