Although I’ve been scarce around this blog, I have been super busy literally writing the cyber highway: I’ve been contributing to WRA (Writer’s Round-About). My latest post there is How to Find the Courage to Sell Yourself. Things have also been going pretty fast and furious on my health blog, Healing with (Raw) Juices. I’ve been helping my mom set up at outdoor markets (old-fashioned bonnet and pioneer dress included!). And I’ve been anxiously awaiting my latest story in print: Soap & Running Water. This story is dear to my heart. It’s printed in Rural Missouri (www.ruralmissouri.org).

I realize you can’t see the words but I’ve taken a photo of the page so you can see how it looks printed in Rural Missouri. I’m really excited about this story. I’ve personally bought soap, lotions, and salves from Judy Riggs for the past few years. Her products are the best quality I’ve found in my searches for handcrafted bath and body products. They’re natural, handcrafted with love, and are just amazing. Her soaps lather up more than any other handcrafted soap I’ve found and her lotions are creamy (not greasy at all) and all of her products smell just divine. The soy candles she makes are eco-friendly and have the most delicious scents. Her herbal salves are absolutely healing to the skin, too! She also makes unscented products for anyone with allergies, or who are sensitive to smells. I have one word for Judy’s products: luxurious!

Judy was a fabulous subject to write about. She’s so kind and her passion shines through beautifully in everything her hands touch. I’m so honored to be the first freelance writer to share Judy Riggs and her business, Riggs Creations (www.riggscreations.org), with the world. Thanks, Judy!

Isn’t she so pretty in her Indian dress, with her Indian braids?! That’s her mortal and pestle in her hands that she uses to grind the herbs she adds to her products!
