Whenever I smell the scent of gingerbread it’s like time rewinds.  My grandmother would bake dozens of cookies and we’d eagerly run to her kitchen on Christmas Eve begging for a taste of them before we’d even eaten dinner.  Even now 30+ years later any time I come across that scent I remember those Christmas evenings, with my siblings and my cousins huddled around the small kitchen table indulging in those frosted gingerbread cookies.

I can’t believe I’m doing this but here goes….

I love this kid.

And I can’t believe next year right about this time, I’ll be sending her off to college.  But the process is starting already really, and at 17 ½ she’s writing scholarship essays, making appointments to visit with admissions deans and taking the campus tours.

She’s never been a girly girl, and while I admit that I missed the pink bows and tutus when she was little I have not at all missed the fuss that most teenage girls make about clothing, hair and makeup.

You know how they say that scent is very strong reminiscer of memories?  I’m sure there is some smell that you pick up and are instantly transported to the past.  I have one of those ‘scent’ memories and it’s actually related to hairspray, VO5 hairspray as it might be.  My grandmother used it (and a lot of it) all. the. time.  You’d walk into the bathroom at their house and that’s all you could smell.  I think she partially used it as air freshner (I jest, I jest).  Years later if I smell that formula of VO5 or something similar, I think of my Oma.

As many of you know, February is Heart Health month, where many products and services let us know that it’s important for us to take care of our physical hearts. That’s an important topic to me, since both of my in-laws succumbed to heart disease. But ’emotional’ heart health is just as important, and it’s often something that I need to work on by connecting touches within my own home.

I don’t know if you’re aware of Gary Chapman’s “The Five Love Languages,” but it is a great insight on the basic five ways that people experience love. It’s broken down into; 1. Acts of Service, 2. Quality Time, 3. Gifts, 4. Physical

I got the chance to try out some natural lip balms from an Austin, Texas based company; Elle Naturals. I’ll admit that I fell in love with these lip balms before I even opened them up, just from looking at the labels I knew I’d love them.

How could you not with ‘flavors’ like Mango Butter with Lime, Green Tea Butter with Peppermint, Shea Butter with Grapefruit and my personal favorite, Coffee Butter Vanilla Latte. Once I tried them though, it wasn’t just the flavors I loved but how they kept my lips soft too.
