Crafty Gemini – Updates – You Tube Video

Soap!!!! I have not really posted about soap of late, so today I am sharing with you a link to Crafty Gemini’s YOUTUBE video tutorial on how to make soap from scratch using the cold process method. This video is perfect for beginners. Click here to see it for yourself. Upon closer inspection of Crafty Gemini’s blog I see she now has her very own Crafty Gemini Mobile App for Android & Iphones congratulations Crafty Gemini 🙂 I also saw on Crafty’s comment box a few tips to bear in mind for when you attempt to make your own soap. I love learning new things I have yet to make my own soap. I am however getting together with my girlfriends very soon to attempt to make some of my own. Wish me luck 🙂

It is a good idea to keep some vinegar on hand when you make soap, so that if the lye splatters or gets on you, the acid can counteract they lye. Of course, flush with water afterwards. It is also good to use glass bowls so plastic won’t interact with the lye or soap. I like the crinkle cutters. Would be handy to have.

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
