I hope you and yours had a great Christmas or are enjoying a lovely Hannukah! 
I'm sorry for being so quiet this last few weeks, but, as you probably know, we lost my mom in October and I'm still trying to make it through each day without melting down. I'm an only child with no relatives in Canada, so it feels quite lonely some days. (I realized that I've only lived apart from my mom for two years in my life in my early twenties. We were very close.) 
But onto good news! We have a new havanese-Maltese puppy named Sasja (pronounced Sasha), and we celebrated our dating anniversary (23 years on the 19th) and my birthday on the 21st, all of which led to us being extremely busy and tired!  I thought I'd ask you all what you'd like to learn more about in the new year. I'm planning to experiment more and share more recipes with you for men's products as well as green and plant based products, and play with all kinds of ingredients from Lotioncrafter and the Formulator Sample Shop. 
So what do you think you'd like to learn more about in 2017" If you have ideas for ingredients, please link to them unless it's something basic like an oil. Thanks!
