Places where you can be as you are and enjoy a simple life where babies eat sand, Frisbees get tossed and the beer is cold.

I hope every one's week is starting off to a wonderful one. 

I have a few things planned to make this week great including a giveaway from some really great ladies! If you would like to be included in this group giveaway to celebrate my new blog makeover please send me an email to let me know by tonight because I plan to post it on Wednesday!

Rice and Relaxing Giveaway!

Hello Lovelies!

My name is Stephanie and I am creator extraordinaire over at Rice & Relaxing.
First and foremost I am a SAHM to my beautiful son Jackson, and crazy loving wife to Roland. 

   

I was born and raised a Florida girl, and 3 years ago moved to the beautiful mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. I absolutely love living in Asheville! The views are so amazing, you just can't stay in a bad mood when you look around. 
I have been so inspired living here, that I have really started to focus on my crafting, which has always been a hobby. And once I started, the ideas have just been pouring out of me! 

I started making aromatherapy rice packs as presents for friends, never really planning on starting a business for it. One day I went into a local soap shop, Appalachian Natural Soaps, looking to buy some dried Lavender & Lavender oil. Coincidentally, the owner was the one at the counter, which he always is the days that he's there. He asked me what I was planning to use it for, just out of curiousity. (Cause in a small town, your business is everyone's business) ;) I told him what I was making, then he proceeded to ask if I sold them- and if I did, would I be interested in selling some to him. I was taken aback! That was the last thing on my mind when I went in there, it was just another errand on my list of things to do that day. But I'm not one to look an opportunity in the face and say "Umm, I think I'll pass." So I went home and got busy making up some rice packs to bring in. The first drafts aren't always the prettiest, but wouldn't you know he wanted to buy some! And so started my adventure of starting a hand crafted business. 

Last year was the year for me to dip my toes into the different aspects of business, to learn how to grow with my products and knowledge. I tried my hand at some craft fairs, as well as the West Asheville Tailgate Market. Those were really great opportunities for me to learn how to better sell my products, and get some feedback. I have also employed cheap (hello child labor laws!) help with my 2 1/2 year old son who likes to help scoop the rice into the rice packs for me. He always says "Big scoop coming right up!" :) He is my biggest fan and can tell you what every rice pack is called and what you use it for. 

This year I have really focused on branching out, and trying my hand at completing the relaxing experience. My goal for my business is to provide a spa experience that is affordable, and also has that personal touch that only handmade products can bring you. I have teamed up with R.R. Lumin Candle Makers to provide organic soy candles to add the perfect touch to my hand painted candle holders. She is another local momma, and makes the most amazing candles!

I have so many more ideas planned out for this year, and many upcoming events, I am really hoping that I can be successful at doing something I love. Which as a SAHM, what is better than doing something you love (at home) and still spending that quality time with your kiddo? I am so thankful to my family for supporting me, and my hubby for putting up with the dirty dishes while I am painting instead. 



As a thank you to my fans who continue to support me, and my new fans for jumping on the relaxing bandwagon, here is an awesome giveaway!
You will be entered to win a Eye Pack for yourself, and a Boo-Boo Pack for your little one.
As a special treat, get 15% off the shop with the coupon "RELAX" which is good through the end of the month.

 Today I will be sharing one thing I really love and that's my Mom!!

My mom is awesome. period. She owns Arabella's Beauty from Nature. 

Her products are made from the finest ingredients that nature has to offer including Facial products to die for, luxurious Goats Milk Lotions, soothing bath salts and natural cures from Mother Nature herself.

Using as much organic and plant based materials as possible, we bring you an outstanding line of natural beauty, bath, and spa products for your whole body at a price that will make your wallet happy, too.

She slaves away everyday making all of this in her kitchen! I know! Crazy. And best part is she wants to give YOU a gift basket valued at 45.00$.
In this basket you will find Red Dragon bath salts, a perfumed oil, and a goat's milk lotion.

She also is offering 10% off on all first orders... so happy shopping ladies.
OH OH and she makes Monster Spray! Yes, its a lavender scented fabric spray that helps ward off bad dreams and monsters... and if your wondering if it works....Just ask my son Bradley. He's the reason she started making it. I swear to you, I use it every night. {thanks Memaw} you can buy it HERE
