Let's Be Real. . .shall we? And how about a deal to go with it.

It's right there. . . I can almost reach it, but not quite. It sits tantalizingly just out of my grasp, and try as I will it seems to evade me. It's that perfect scenario. You know, the one where I'm always organized and efficient. Things run on time, and time seems to wait for me, allowing me to have moments of inspiration and hours of pleasant research and successful projects to share and a never-needing-replenished stack of products waiting to be sold. It's too beautiful to be true, and it is. And so, it's now truth time. Time for the real truth that is. Because it's really true that every extra table in my house is covered with drying herbs waiting for me to jar and label them, (and there's even some in the fridge. . .)  and real garden produce sits in the freezer and on the table mocking me with its complacent patience. It's really true that I have hardly picked up an herb book in a month, and scarce have had a minute to mull over new projects and keep up with my hobby/business and blog because two separate family weeks traveling out of town followed by the start of school and the ensuing sports seasons have created a level of minor chaos for this Mama, even if it is enjoyable chaos in its own right. And it's really true that I work at the level of a real Mom, with piles of laundry and dishes, kids and dogs to care for, and food to cook. Someday - very soon I hope!- those great ideas in my head will become reality and I will even have time to let you all know about them, but for now, with apologies to those who perhaps have a little less of real life to deal with, and great thanks to those who choose to spend time with us, here's some stuff to look forward to at Beautiful Earth!

For the month of September we will be running a "5 for $20" package special (or "buy 4 -get 1 free")! You can customize your own package, and can include your choice of soap, salve or bug stuff tubes (2 tubes = an item). For example, 3 soaps, 1 tin of Triple-C salve and 2 tubes of Annie's Bug Stuff would make a great "buy 4- get one free" package. So have fun mixing and matching to create just the mix you need!

Also, there is a slight change-up coming in our line of soaps. Starting in the middle of September we will be discontinuing the "Rosemary Mist" soap, and replacing it with a new scent called "Spring Rain". A blend of spearmint and eucalyptus, "Spring Rain" is a light, refreshing scent that we hope you will enjoy as much as the beautiful air following a true spring rain. Pictures coming soon!

 We would love to hear from you this month, and if the new brew simmering in my crockpot downstairs turns out to be any good, maybe there will be more to tell you about soon enough, but for now, this is the real deal!
