Hello Everyone and Happy May!

I hope you are all doing well and I hope your extra time at home as been good in many ways that you never thought it could of been before.

I have been enjoying this season as I sit on my back porch with my work computer and a view of my beautiful backyard in full spring....I love the green!  I have been busy pulling weeds, planting a garden and my husband who cannot work right now, is remodeling one of our bathrooms.  My husband and I have also been taking advantage of the beautiful weather with hiking, biking and Dutch Oven cooking over a fire.  He is the best cook and makes chicken stew, pizza and sourdough cinnamon rolls!  He cooks and even cleans his pots!  (Spoiled wife!) This different season we are all experiencing has definitely created a slower paced life....which reminds me of how simple life can be.

Even though it has already been 6+ weeks at home, it has still flown by.  With May turning that corner in a few days, Mother's Day is almost here and The Essential Olive has some great gift ideas that are perfect for Mom!  My definition of perfect means no dusting, it's consumable and kills germs, it cleans and it smells really good. And if you guessed I was talking about SOAP...you're absolutely right!

Soap is simple.  Basic soap from The Essential Olive is made with 5 simple ingredients....olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, lye & water.   If your wondering why I chose olive oil, simply put, it's because it is an excellent moisturizer.  Palm oil makes your soap have longevity so it lasts way longer in the shower.  Lastly, coconut oil gives you a rich and creamy lather.  I use a loofa when I shower and I love all the lather it creates...it makes me feel so pampered since us Mamas need pampering!

So for Mother's Day, you can check out our gift sets by clicking here and choose from Lavender, Sandalwood, Coconut and Honey Almond.  If you want something different, feel free to choose your own products and scents. If you don't see what you want, just ask...I just might be able to whip it up for you!  And while your looking around at all the great products...be sure to stock up on natural deodorant and enjoy the SALE until the end of May.

Well ladies, I hope you have found the good in this craziness lately.  If it has been hard emotionally, your tired of being home or money has been tight, I pray for peace and hope for you along with provision.

Blessings to you and your family from my family and The Essential Olive
