I love the look of flannel so needless to say, I'm happy it's trending again!

Valentine’s Day Strawberry Sugar Scrub

I've never really been a follower of that whole "go organic" movement. It's hard to care about that kind of thing when you can barely afford the regular, non-organic foods.

I like the suspense of the openings and the fellowship of other viewers as we congratulate the customer on their pick and then feel a small twinge of what I call "pearl envy."
