Best wishes for a great Easter weekend! My brother and his family are visiting for the weekend. The girls are dying eggs and looking forward to their Easter egg hunt. They just got a new dog, a beagle mix that they rescued; she’d been used in a research lab, which is really sad, but she has a great home now. She’s very sweet and amazingly trusting considering the life she must have had.
Here’s a lovable face. 🙂 Her name is Belle.
There was a lovely review of Cocoa Sandalwood posted today on ScentHive, a blog that specializes in coverage of natural perfumes and body products. Thanks, Trish! It’s good to see you writing again!

I like the current mod of the new fall scent very much, so I’m making the first little batch (about 2 oz) and will send out a few testers later this week. I’ll start with just a few people to see if I’m on track. I’m excited because this mod seems close, depending how it…
I may have the final formula for this now. I’m just testing to be sure, and collecting feedback, which has been great so far. Thanks for being patient with me on this one. 🙂
Thanks, Ayala, for your review of Forest Walk on SmellyBlog! I’m so glad you liked it! It’s true that there is a special aromachemical used in Forest that has the aroma of fresh earth; it’s used at only 0.05% of the total formula so it’s a very tiny amount, but it still does have an…
Oh, what a sweet face and congratulations to them all on their new addition. I hope you and yours have an absolutely wonderful Easter!
Hi Gail! Yes, Belle is such a sweetie. She’s 3 years old and about 15 pounds, but she’s acting like a puppy since she’s discoverng the outside world for the first time. Her tail hardly stops wagging.
Hope your Easter is wonderful too!
