I finished writing Sushi and Suspicions and turned it in! To celebrate, I ate my favorite peach jelly from Minamoto Kichoan ! I was a bit surprised to realize at the end of the book that there wasn’t as much romance as in some of my other books, maybe because there were a lot of characters in this book compared to other romantic suspense novels I’ve written. Sushi and Suspicions will be releasing in June in the multi-author box set Summer Suspicions . Even though it’s a box set, each Christian Romantic Suspense novel in it is a full book, so it’s a great deal! Preorder Summer Suspicions for only 99 cents!

I’m continuing my Etsy.com raving today with another product I bought, grape lip balm from Pacific Paradise Soap.
For one, this stuff tastes yummy!
For another, look at this ingredient list:
Grapeseed oil, sweet almond oil, candelilla wax, cocoa butter, coconut oil, shea butter, beeswax, concentrated Vitamin E, grape flavoring, Stevia.
I can pronounce everything on that list! I know what most of it is!
I’m pretty picky about my lip balms because I have a violent allergic reaction to most commercial lip balms (Burt’s Bees, Chapstick, you name it). There’s some ingredient in there that makes my lip swell like Angelina Jolie got stung by a few bees on her mouth. I have to get lip balms that are all natural or else it doesn’t look pretty, trust me.
So I was thrilled to find this, plus it tastes great! (I mean, I don’t literally eat it, but it smells good on my lip.)
Oh, and I got a free soap sample in my package! Isn’t that cool?
Sigh. I love Etsy.

In any case, I knew I read somewhere that we do eat our lipstick and I found an article that said the average woman eats about 6 pounds of lipstick in her lifetime (yuck).

So - going all natural is a very good thing. :o)
