Of Love and Lipstick

From time to time I do enjoy a good crafty project. I've never got enough time for something really intricate, so I thought I'd do, quick lip scrub. I decided to experiment with lip scrubs (due to an overabundance of sugar in my baking cupboard). My end result was a blue peppermint lip scrub, which looks pretty good from the picture above.

HEY GUYS! I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and that Santa was good to you! He was very overgenerous to me so I am very grateful. I love Christmas; it's my favourite time of year. The only disappointing thing is that there has been no snow yet. That would make everything ultimately better. So a bit of a deviation for my usual genre, but since, here in Scotland, the air has chilled quite a bit I thought I would share the recipe for my families homemade soup. It's really warming, and perfect for those days were you are not up to a lot of cooking. Just pop it on in the morning at a low temp and BANG! Soup for lunch!
