mixologist part 1


gawd i'm glad xmas is over. i know, bah humbug but i cant stand all that anticipation leading to people returning things they didnt like and abandoning xmas trees out in the street. it's so depressing to see trees without roots.

anyways i feel a fire under my ass and no i'm not sitting on the yule log, i'm ready to charge into more projects. i hope fed ex arrives today

i've been dicking around with other types of mixes for a while now..soaps, potions, scrubs, butters..like most women i have a fascination with brightly colored bottles that promise to melt away my ass fat and i'll optimistically stand in the humid bathroom scrubbing, washing, patting, rubbing, soothing, inhaling all sorts of scents. who cares if it works. it's all about ritual.

so, also for a while i've been selling silk related goods to spa outlets..gift bags, gift scarves. it's been nice pocket change. but i decided well hells bells why dont i make my own potions? i certainly know how to mix things and blend (dyes) ..so i went on a spree and bought fistfuls of things like shea butter, palm oil, plumeria, coconut, clary sage, all the names you love to read about. i'm a kitchen witch. no i dont cook but i can mix. i'd probably be a great bartender.

in a flurry to do something new but related , www.silkandsun.etsy.com is open but empty. no products yet. i've been marketing soaps and stuff, on the sly, for a while at local events..but for fun i'll package them (that is fun) and take some pics, and you'll see them in the store. why not!!
