Welcome to February. It is the shortest month of the year (only 28 days), but it sometimes it feels pretty long and cold here in the northern Midwest. The word February comes from the word “februa,” from an old Roman festival of purification and cleansing before spring. When we learned this, we immediately put on our aprons and got busy making our spring soaps. We just got some fresh eggs from our favorite chicken, Flo, for Happy Yolk egg soap. We are preparing the rain water from the rain barrel for our rainwater products. And of course we are making lip balm and bath fizzys.
Our favorite thing about February is Valentine’s Day. So just for fun, we made you some pink, heart shaped, rose scented bath fizzys. Get them while they last.
As the late, great John Lennon said, “All you need is love.”
And maybe some soap.
Happy Valentine’s Day
Love,
Liz & Susan
