100% RAW low-temperature cacao butter from Bali — an artisanal fair-trade delicacy made with love.
For those seeking the flavor and luxurious qualities of raw cacao, but who don't want the stimulating effect of dark chocolate, this golden butter adds a terrific creamy texture to any of your chocolate recipes of smoothies. It's the original white chocolate—a staple ingredient for any superfood home.
In the bath, use cacao butter as a fragrant skin-soothing bar, or mix it with coconut oil and essential oils for the ultimate after-bath antioxidant skin moisturizer.
This golden oil is carefully pressed from organic raw cacao beans, and is loaded with antioxidants and healthy fats. This is one of the most stable good fats on earth, and thanks to ours being RAW that means none of the nutritional value has not been stripped out by heat.
Sun Rippened Raspberry Hybrid Handmade Goats Milk and Honey Soap
I'm calling these soaps my 'hybrid' soap because I've used a great glycerin base and added my own hot process touches to them as well! The best of both worlds!
I've started out with a honey glycerin base and turned it a tranlucent pink with oxide. Then I poured a goats milk glycerine base and added plenty of hot process raspberry balls with a few seeds to exfoliate gently and colored with Australian Red Reef Clay to the middle (you can see them if you look through the tranlucent pink layer). I then added another honey glycerin layer colored with a shimmery, gorgeous merlot mica with bigger hot process raspberry balls. My own handmade massage bar :-)
All the layers are fragranced with Sun Ripppened Raspberry fragrance oil. I've added a complete balance of hot process soap to give you all the benefits with the beauty of a melt and pour.
Very good for your skin and wonderful to look at too. These bars weigh approximately 4 ounces.
Please keep your soaps in a well draining soap dish and allow them to dry out between uses. Otherwise they will drink up all the water and turn into a bloated mushy mess.

My New Roots; Life-Changing Loaf of Bread.
Umm, not so much life-changing.
First off, I'll say that none of Sarah B's objections to baking conventional bread rang true for me. (Isn't kneading part of the fun? And what's that about bread recipes being too specific? - As if people can't and don't make substitutions when baking "regular" bread!) But this seemed like it might be an interesting experiment. - And, I'll admit, it did also seem easy.
It helps if you think of the resulting loaf as being cousin to the type of dense, very moist, square, 8 cm x 8 cm rye breads often sold in German bakeries. Banish all thoughts of Italian, French, or Belgian-style breads with their wonderfully chewy crusts.
Interesting warnings/info online re. pysllium seed husks. - It's so hydrophilic that, if taken without sufficient water (or taken by people who may have trouble swallowing) , it can swell, blocking the throat, and cause choking.
Modified from a recipe in Vegan Desserts in Jars: Adorably Delicious Pies, Cakes, Puddings, and Much More by Kris Holechek Peters. I used a multigrain cereal for the oats and spelt flour for the AP in the topping, and a blend of cup-for-cup stevia and coarse raw sugar for crunch and flavour. While it took twice as long to bake (40 minutes rather than 20), the wait was worth it!

Experts are coming to realize the tremendous health benefits of consuming coconut oil daily.

Hermit bars are basically an old fashioned spice cookie baked into a soft, chewy bar filled with raisins and nuts. They're said to date back to the late 1800s when the wives of New England sailors would make these for their husbands to take out to sea because they traveled so well. These are made with 100% whole grains, Omega rich almonds and walnuts, and magnesium rich molasses and Demerara sugar.
Coconut oil instead of margarine.

Let that sink in...

Lemon oil is a good remedy for the increasing the luster of dull skin. It is astringent and detoxifying in nature, and rejuvenates dull skin. Its antiseptic properties help in treating pimples and various skin disorders. Lemon is also recommended for oily skin.
Orange oil helps with the collagen formation of the skin.
Shea butter has been used to help heal burns, sores, scars, dermatitis, psoriasis, dandruff, and stretch marks. It may also help diminish wrinkles by moisturizing the skin, promoting cell renewal.

Pink Grapefruit Handmade Soap
Very moisturizing bar of pink grapefruit, made with fragrance oil and essential grapefruit oil. I've added extra shea, avocado and mango butters to the soap to give it an extra moisture boost.
I use my soap as shampoo bars as well. It's a fun way to get clean from head to toe in one fell swoop ~ schwooosh! I then use a (very light) jojoba oil, shea butter and avocado butter mixture about every three days. I have very long, curly, unmanageable, frizzy, gnarly hair... and it actually pleases me. Not to mention no chemicals left to leech their way into my scalp!
My method: Lather up a wash cloth really REALLY good and squeeze it out onto your hair. This is easier then trying to lather your hands and then transfer. Scrub it up and use the remainder for your body. Close your eyes for the hair part though - or ouch! Then rinse and you are all done. You've saved water, time and smell great too. Ah…
*I only use my 'plain' soap bars for shampoo bars. I don't use any soaps that have clay, or oatmeal, coffee, poppy seeds, flowers, herbs… etc. You get the picture right? I don't want anything leftover hanging around making me look silly. I can do that by myself.
You will receive 1 bar approximately 4+ ounces. Some bars weigh as much as 5.5 oz and these bars will go first. I am a terrible cutter, but I try...
It's good to let your soap air out between uses for a longer lasting bar. Store your handmade soaps in a cool dry place letting them breathe. I cut mine in quarters to make them last longer :-) and this way I can use a different soap everyday - yay me!
Hand crafted soaps are so good for your skin. No added chemicals and all the natural glycerin is retained. I'll never go back to buying store bought chemical laden soaps.

Salmon fish sticks. I love the writing in that Revenge of the Nerds movie where the nerd is asked, "Don't you know what this writing on my hat means?" The nerd responds, "Malcolm ten?" Later, the nerds marvel at the dinner prepared at their hero nerd's house who is now a Bill Gates type character sold out to the success of nerddom and now a changed personality. The nerd hero asks over dinner, "What's wrong?" The nerd answers, "It's just that I've never seen fish before that wasn't in stick form." Fish sticks. Just the idea cracks me up. I vaguely recall my mom fixing them when I was in the first grade. She also heated breaded scallops. I picked off the breading revealing a white disk. I put my disks together forming a cylinder. I recall asking if scallops were really a snake that was cut up. My mom laughed and answered, "Yes." Suspicion confirmed, I lived with this untruth for an additional 16 years. Scene II: Cape Cod, oyster shack. The proprietor had a large poster behind the fish counter depicting various seafood items. I noted the scallops were pictured, as, well, scallops. I said to the owner, a rough looking fellow unshaven and with an unclean white apron and twice my weight, "Your fish poster is wrong," with all of the certainty of a twenty-one year old. The owner sneered, "Oh yeah? What's wrong with it?" He left off the "Punk" but it was implied. I go, it shows scallop like a clam and it's really a snake that chopped up." He looked hard at me pathetically, then laughed like I was totally retarded. Then carefully explained the truth and the details behind their preparation. I blame my mother.
