TherapyGarden™ Rich & Creamy Shaving Soap

Ingredients:
1 fl oz     TherapyGarden™ Aloe Vera Gel Whole Leaf
½ tsp     TherapyGarden™ Arrowroot Powder
4 oz     TherapyGarden™ Melt & Pour Premium Goat’s Milk Soap Base
2 oz     TherapyGarden™ Melt & Pour Silky Shea Butter Soap Base
1 tsp     TherapyGarden™ Kaolin Clay
¼ fl oz     TherapyGarden™ Calendula Flower Extract
¼ fl oz     TherapyGarden™ Lavender Essential Oil (or EO of your choice)
One     Decorative 8-10 oz mug (Dollar Store, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Wal-Mart)
Method:

Pre-measure your ingredients and have them ready. You’ll want to work fast so that the soap base doesn’t skin over before you’re ready to pour.

Mix the Aloe Vera Gel and Arrowroot Powder together. Blend well.

Melt the Goat’s Milk and Shea Butter soap bases together in a microwave-safe glass measuring cup (Pyrex).

Add the Kaolin Clay to the melted soap base and whisk until thoroughly blended.

Add the Aloe Vera Gel/Arrowroot Powder mixture, Calendula Extract and Essential Oil.

Blend thoroughly and immediately pour into mug(s) or molds and spritz with rubbing alcohol.

Packaging idea: Tie a shaving brush to the cup handle with raffia or a luxurious satin cord (depending on the cup design) and shrink wrap for a professional finish.

Yield: One 8- to 10-ounce mug

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

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.
