HEY!
If the upcoming “learn to crochet” night on Oct 25th wasn’t exciting enough … I’ve decided to have a Movie Night Fundraiser on the 26th. What movie? One of my favs!! All the $$ from the door goes to Hearts on Noses Pig Sanctuary.

WAHOOO! With the change in season it’s time to snuggle down indoors and get crafty!

Sarah’s Place is excited to announce that multimedia artist Spencer Diamond will be teaching 4x crochet classes at Sarah’s Place starting on Oct 25th.

Each workshop is $10 each. $40 for all 4 classes. Each class will have a different project to tackle.

Please note that classes are limited to 15 people – so come down to Sarah’s Place (#106-560 Johnson Street) or call 250-590-7946 to put your name put on the list to reserve your spot.

If you don’t have crochet supplies a ready-made bag of each nights project will be offered for $5.

There is nothing more fun then hanging out with like-minded people learning a new skill. Hope to see you there! 🙂

I read this the other day and was dumbstruck. Piers Anthony gets me … 🙂

“One thing you who had secure or happy childhoods should understand about those of us who did not. We who control our feelings, who avoid conflicts at all costs, or seem to seek them. Who are hypersensitive, self-critical, compulsive, workaholic, and above all survivors. We are not that way from perversity, and we cannot just relax and let it go. We’ve learned to cope in ways you never had to.” ― Piers Anthony

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of compliments about my skin. I even had a lady stop me in the street and ask me about my skin. She wouldn’t stop talking about how fresh and dewy it looked. She also wouldn’t believe me when I told her I was 44 years old. ha ha.

My secret? Genetics. I’m very lucky because everyone in my family has great skin … but my other secret is Sprout Skincare. I am SO excited to now carry it at Sarah’s Place.

What I love about Sprout (besides it being 100% vegan) is that there are no unnatural ingredients. Skin is our biggest organ and we punish it with our enviorment, chemicals… even tattoos. ha ha. Sprout Cosmetics use all natural ingredients and my skin is so happy because of it. Each product has 5 or less ingredients. No chemicals or fillers. Check out the ingredients of each product HERE.

Here’s my routine. First is the Make-up Remover. It easily removes all my makeup and also moisturizes. Next is the Cleanser. Cleans off any residue and gets my face beautifully clean. Then comes my favourite part. The Exfoliate. I often have little dry patches on my forehead and my chin but since using this product I have had no issues. It’s simple ingredients are good for sensitive skin and leave my face soft and glowing.

After I rinse off my face … I move to the toner. Lots of people skip toner but it’s an absolutely essential step for evening out skin tone and neutralizes PH. After the toner I moisturize with the Cream. You know how lots of lotions and moisturizers leave you needing more, like ten minutes after you put them on? That’s because they use water as a base. Sprout Cream starts with wild-harvested shea butter and my skin LOVES it.

As for the rest of my body … I’ve been using the Body Scrub. Gerry loves it … it leaves my skin … ummm. very … um… deliciously kissable.  🙂 Speaking of kisses – I love love love the lipbalms.

So that’s what I’ve been using on my skin. My other secret is to avoid the sun. Drink lots of water and have a good belly laugh or a good cry at least once a day. Laughing is preferred over crying although I find that a good cry always makes me feel like laughing.  😉

Don’t forget that I ship worldwide so go poke around the store and check out Sprout Cosmetics. I can’t say enough nice things about this product without sounding like a commercial. ha ha.

Check them out HERE.

Oooooh some really fun stuff just arrived at Sarah’s Place. Just got in a bunch of new Bisous Rose pillow slip covers. Check out all the fabulous fabric choices HERE!

I also got in a new shipment of Flavour Design Buddha Bowls, the smaller Baby Buddha Bowls and the gorgeous Ramen Bowls.

These Flavour Design bowls have been a longtime favourite of mine in my kitchen and I’m so happy to be carrying this Canadian made product in my store!! 🙂

Don’t forget!! I ship worldwide … so get your “Shop on” HERE!

Just got in a big shipment of books for Sarah’s Place! Go poke around the Sarah’s Place library and see if there’s anything that tickles your fancy.  🙂

I am also very excited to be carrying The Boss of You by Lauren Bacon & Emira Mears.
