Wow, it's been busy over on the new blog!

On Saturday, I shared my new e-book, Shampoo Bars You Will Love: Creating pH Balanced Bars, as well as a shorter e-book with just the formulas, my first single formula issue, One shampoo bar, four ways. 

If you were a $3, $5, or $10 subscriber to the blog as of 2:15 pm PDT on Saturday, July 7th, we offered you a 25% off coupon on the e-book as our thanks for your continued support of the blog. (This is not back-datable, it was a one time only offer we though would be nice to give to our subscribers.)

For those who have been asking, I am doing much better with my muscle spasms and pain. I feel like I have a great health care team in place, and have been prescribed medications that are helping along with exercise, chiropractic treatment, and massage therapy.
I also have a great support team in place now, and so many of you, my lovely readers, are taking time out of your day to ask me how I'm doing, while sending kind thoughts and funny stories and pictures about bees - I love those, Karen! Thank you! It means a lot for me that you're making space in your day to wish me well.

It really is surreal how poorly people treat you when you're incapacitated. I had the executive director of a soap guild "unfriend" me on Facebook because I had to cancel my presentations at a conference, as if I was doing it out of spite instead of out of severe pain. So believe me when I say I appreciate your kindness so much. 

The last...
