Tootsie Basket

April Special

Tootsie Basket

Girls, you gotta make sure your feet are sandal ready and worthy for spring. I used to like to call it my Tootsie Trio until I added the Nail and Cuticle Oil. It's just called a toosie basket now. You can see what all it includes which is the Dead Sea Foot Soak, Superhealing Foot Balm, Foot Spritzer, Nail and Cuticle Oil and a complimentary nail brush. Find it over on my website or email me at teri@hoffmanessentials.com

Remember, no rough, ashy heals are allowed.

Jasmine Vanilla Soap

We made Jasmine Vanilla Soap yesterday. WOW that's all I can say.

All-Natural Chocolate Mint Lip Balm is the bomb!

Fishing the Current River

Boys fishing not fussing!
The Devil's Well, a US National Park in Missouri

This weekend I was fortunate to spend the weekend with my boys and my father in laws siblings whom I affectionately call "The Hoffman's". We met them in South Central Missouri where we stayed in a cabin on the Current River. We were literally in "the boondocks". There is no television, no radio, and no cellular telephone service but there is electric, heat, running water, and a dishwasher (heaven). We had a terrific time and I think the boys did too...they didn't complain one bit once we arrived. It was complete bliss not having to compete with their telephone texting/internet surfing/facebooking, etc. We ate, laughed, relaxed, hiked, fished, explored caves, and chilled. My father in laws family are great hosts and I hope we get together again real soon.

Hello, its been a while. I have been crazy busy with my day job. This past weekend I sent out a newsletter to my customers, friends, and family. If you would like to get the next one please email at teri@hoffmanessentials.com

Today I made goats milk soap in basil-mint and another batch in patchouli rosewood. It smells a little "earthy" which is totally up my alley.

Room and Linen Spray

Room and Linen Spray

I have recently added this to my website. I previously only carried it in the summer at the Farmers Market. It is available in all of my scents but personally I find that a couple of spritzers of Lavender is both calming and relaxing (after the winter we have had lately). On another personal note it cuts the bacon grease floating in the air....... :) bahahaha

Winter 2011

Today is February 5th, 2011. It's cold. Its quiet. Its beautiful. The State of Oklahoma has been shut down for nearly a week from what "they" have coined The Blizzard of 2011. I haven't been outside much because I'm kind of a warm weathered girl but I just had to step outside and listen to the still of the morning.

Nail and Cuticle Oil

Today I survived the 2011 blizzard. Its cold here. I am doing my darndest to stay warm and happy but I feel so darned sorry for our cows outside. I've taken a hot bath, sipped hot tea, stayed next to the fire and supplemented with electric portable heaters. Yes, its that cold. So now I need to do a little hand maintenance. My Nail and Cuticle Oil is sure to do the trick. It is loaded with all natural oils. I bet you will quickly become addicted once you start using it.

Sarah's Sweet 16

We attended Sarah's Sweet 16 party this weekend. Boy did she rake in the dough $$$$! I have known her and her mommie since she was in the belly! She was a sweet little girl who has grown into an awesome young teen. She's smart, witty, happy, beautiful, honest, caring, did I say smart. The girl is smart!!!!!!! I'm not talking just smart, I mean smart. She's the whole package. We love her!

Here's my little diddy!

A Sweet 16 Poem for Sarah

The first time we met your mom

was at a Christmas Show

Little did we know for the next 16 years

that we would watch you grow

You fill everyone's heart

with love and joy

Watch out Wagoner here she comes

She's traded in all her toys

Yes that's right

She drives a car

How can she be 16 years old

That's so extremely bizarre

Our 16th birthday wish

For you today

Is to have fun and dream big

for whatever comes your way!

And here's a one more thing

I promise I won't give you any more smell good creme

That will make you break out in hives.
