She Went Away
With affection, I ask you to take care, be well, and enjoy the remaining sunshine before Winter sets in.

With a mom who is a Homeopathic Doctor, I have learned the value of using products without chemical additives. I have recently discovered a few great companies throughout Canada that produce armpit-washing devices (aka soap) that follow the handmade philosophy.
