Weekend Specials

Every weekend, we are hoping to run a short special on different items.

Spring Cleaning

I think it may be here!  Spring, that is.  The flowers are blooming, the bees are buzzing and I am feeling the need to clean.  I admit, I am not the best at cleaning (maybe that is why I make soap – to make up for it?) but sometimes, I get this urge to just Clean!  The thing is – it has gotten bad – there are Lego’s on the floor, crumbs under papers on the kitchen table, and who knows what else?  A friend of mine suggested “five minute cleaning”.  A bit here, and bit more there and things start to look up, or look better anyway.

Why can’t I do it the way my mother did?  Every spring, she washed windows, cleaned the oven, had the drapes and curtains cleaned, cleaned off the outside walks and porch, and more.  It was a frenzy of cleaning and I shudder to think about it even now!   Just thinking about it makes me tired.  But, did she make soap?  No sir, she did not!  Take heart, spring cleaners, there is hope for me yet!

Just How Much Soap Do You Have?

Wonder of wonders, we have added to our list again.  Setting limits is a good thing, but soap is limitless, we have decided.

Recycling Boxes

Don’t know if you noticed, but we recycle boxes here at Country Scents.  It saves money and then we can pass that on.  We always remove the old shipping labels, however.  A good way to remove them is by using a utility knife or box cutter.  Just go lightly around the edges of the label without delving into the box itself and then pull it off.  This way, the box is left intact and reusable.  We try to recycle any packaging we can – boxes, packing peanuts, packing paper, etc.
