Winter Storms and Thankful Hearts

 

There’s nothing that makes me more appreciative of a warm home, a hot bath, and food in the pantry than when a snowstorm and arctic air move through. This appears to be a widespread winter storm, and it has me sending extra thanks to the One above for my many blessings.

I’ve made several trips to the market and stocked up on propane tanks—better safe than sorry. My home is equipped with backup options for situations like this, because if the power goes out, you don’t want to be without heat when temperatures dip into the single digits.

I’m also getting orders shipped out early and tidying up the studio. Between all of that, I’ve begun working on some new skincare formulations inspired by my own needs. A gel cleanser that moisturizes while it cleanses has been on my list for quite some time—I love the idea of cleansing and moisturizing all in one step.

I’ve had the opportunity to visit with a few of you during order pickups, and it’s always such a joy to see familiar faces. While spring and summer feel far away right now, I know the weather will break soon. Gardening, baking, and sharing those simple joys will be back before we know it—and I can’t wait.

Warmly,

Jill
