Try using clove,patchouli, tea tree and eucalyptus this back to school
season. These are essential oils that may be helpful in and around your
home when you are all stoved up and stuck indoors. An over all healthy
approach to cleaning, protecting, and soothing a tired body. Use these great
products as an aromatherapy by adding them to your bath, as a chest rub,
and steaping them on the stove. The essential oils in our olive oil
handcrafted soap are our top sellers and great in the winter.

Come by and try our newest
product, a handcrafted lotion bar.
Packaged in an easy to apply roll
on container. Comes in a variety
of different scents such as
lavender, coconut, eucalyptus, and
clove bud. We are so excited about
this product along with our olive oil
soap for the winter, when our skin
needs extra moisturizing.

With a fruity berry fragrance

and a super rich lather,
you just cant go wrong with our
Red Wine olive oil soap.
Its astringent quality makes
a deep cleansing bar that is
N O T drying to your skin
because of its olive oil base.

I've always loved anise. From it's wonderfully unique aroma to it's mild,
distinctive taste. I enjoy it in herbal tea and black licorice, and especially in my
Grandma Wilma's Pizzelle cookies! I truly enjoy using the Ancient Art Soap
Company's anise scented soap, Paps JB's Fishin' Soap. It's long-lasting and
leaves my skin feeling soft and smelling fantastic! Best of all, it reminds me of
my sweet grandmother!

Traditional Italian Pizzelle Cookies
3 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon anise extract
1 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Beat eggs and sugar until thick.
Stir in melted butter and anise.
Add flour and baking powder and mix well.
Heat Pizzelle iron, which produces round and flat waffle-like cookies and can be
purchased at most home goods stores or online for around $25, and brush with
cooking oil.
Drop one tablespoon of batter onto the circle.
Bake for 30 seconds, or until steam stops coming out of cookie iron.
Remove from iron and let cool.
These cookies store and freeze well. They can be changed up by adding a few
mini chocolate chips to the batter or sprinkling with powdered sugar after baking.
