      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;your-skin-has-been-in-survival-mode-all-winter&#34;&gt;Your Skin Has Been in Survival Mode All Winter&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hey friends — Stacie here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;March in Central PA is a funny thing. One day you&amp;rsquo;re scraping ice off the windshield. The next, the windows are open and it smells like mud and possibility. Spring doesn&amp;rsquo;t arrive all at once around here. It sneaks in a week at a time, and then one morning you realize you&amp;rsquo;ve turned the heat down and left your coat at home.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;you-made-it-through-winter-your-skin-has-questions&#34;&gt;You Made It Through Winter. Your Skin Has Questions.&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hey friends! &lt;strong&gt;Stacie&lt;/strong&gt; here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your skin could talk right now, I think it would say something like: &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;Okay, what are we doing now?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Because here in Central PA, the shift from February into March is&amp;hellip; confusing. One day it&amp;rsquo;s 22 degrees and your hands are cracking. The next it&amp;rsquo;s pushing 55 and the windows are open and everything feels different. Your skin is right there in the middle of it, trying to figure out what you need.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;the-lip-balm-frustration-you-know-this-feeling&#34;&gt;The Lip Balm Frustration (You Know This Feeling)&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hey friends! &lt;strong&gt;Stacie&lt;/strong&gt; here. Let me guess your winter morning routine:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Wake up with dry, cracked lips&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Apply lip balm&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Lips feel better for about 20 minutes&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Dry again&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Apply more lip balm&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Repeat all day long&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sound familiar?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I lived this cycle for YEARS. Tube of lip balm in my pocket, one in my purse, one on my nightstand, one in the car. Reapplying constantly. Lips never actually getting better.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;four-different-people-four-different-conversations&#34;&gt;Four Different People, Four Different Conversations&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hey friends! &lt;strong&gt;Stacie&lt;/strong&gt; here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Want to learn more about Tattoo Luv?&lt;/strong&gt; Visit our dedicated site at &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.tattooluv.com&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;www.tattooluv.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for complete product details, artist resources, and our Sponsored Artist Program.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At &lt;strong&gt;Pumpkinfest&lt;/strong&gt; last year, I had the most interesting day at our booth. Four different people stopped by asking about &lt;strong&gt;Tattoo Luv&lt;/strong&gt;, and each one needed to hear about it in a completely different way.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First person:&lt;/strong&gt; A heavily tattooed guy in his 30s, sleeves on both arms, asking detailed questions about ingredients&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>The Question We Get at Every Craft Show: &#39;Wait... What&#39;s a Lotion Bar?&#39;</title>

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;is-that-soap&#34;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Is That&amp;hellip; Soap?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hey friends! &lt;strong&gt;Stacie&lt;/strong&gt; here. You know what question I hear at literally EVERY craft show?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Customer picks up a lotion bar, smells it, looks confused&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;Wait&amp;hellip; what IS this? Is it soap?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Me: &amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s a lotion bar!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;A lotion&amp;hellip; BAR? Like solid lotion?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Me: &amp;ldquo;Exactly!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;So&amp;hellip; how do you use it?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And that&amp;rsquo;s when I know we&amp;rsquo;re about to have a great conversation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lotion bars are one of those products that confuse people at first glance&lt;/strong&gt; - they look like soap, they&amp;rsquo;re solid like soap, but they&amp;rsquo;re definitely NOT soap. And once people understand what they are and how to use them, they become obsessed.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;sunday-mornings-in-our-enola-house-when-self-care-became-non-negotiable&#34;&gt;Sunday Mornings in Our Enola House: When Self-Care Became Non-Negotiable&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hey friends! &lt;strong&gt;Stacie&lt;/strong&gt; here. Let me be honest with you: For years, I gave everything to everyone else. Making products for others, running to craft shows, helping with the grandson, managing the business. &lt;strong&gt;My &amp;ldquo;self-care&amp;rdquo; was a quick shower if I was lucky.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sound familiar?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then one Sunday morning, about a year ago, Maddi looked at me and said, &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;Mom, when&amp;rsquo;s the last time you actually took care of yourself?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;january-in-central-pa-when-winter-gets-real&#34;&gt;January in Central PA: When Winter Gets Real&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hey friends! &lt;strong&gt;Stacie&lt;/strong&gt; here, writing this on a freezing January morning in Enola.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, it was 18°F when I woke up. The kind of cold that makes your face hurt when you step outside. The kind of dry air that cracks your lips within 5 minutes. The kind of winter that leaves my grandson congested and cranky.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Central Pennsylvania winters don&amp;rsquo;t mess around.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;wait-what-is-that-fluffy-stuff&#34;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Wait, What IS That Fluffy Stuff?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hey friends! &lt;strong&gt;Stacie&lt;/strong&gt; here. Let me tell you about one of the most confusing—and most loved—products we sell.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The scenario:&lt;/strong&gt; We&amp;rsquo;re at a craft show (Williams Grove, East Pennsboro Pumpkinfest, Central Dauphin). Someone stops at our table. They see jars of fluffy, cloud-like product. They pick one up, look confused, and ask:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;What IS this? Frosting?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I laugh every single time. Because honestly? &lt;strong&gt;It DOES look like frosting.&lt;/strong&gt; Fluffy, whipped, colorful, sitting in a jar like fancy cupcake icing.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
