Goat's Milk Benefits For Your Skin

                    

     
     Since we are NOW selling goat's milk soap, I decided why not write a post on how great goat's milk is for your skin?! 


     Our skin is our largest organ and it is said that approximately 60% of what we put on our skin gets absorbed into our bloodstream. So why wouldn't you want to use a natural soap that is good for your skin too? Once you use a good goat's milk soap, you will never want to go back to using anything else!   
     Goat's milk is wonderful for those with dry or sensitive skin, or conditions such as eczema and acne. Unprocessed goats milk, fresh from the farm contains many benefits. 

     Alpha Hydroxy Acids. Goats milk contains Alpha-Hydroxy Acids such as lactic acids, which help in removing dead skin cells from your skin's surface. This now leaves new cells on the surface of your face leaving it smoother and younger looking. Removing dead skin cells will many skin conditions by removing irritations. 

     Vitamins.  Many different vitamins are found in goat's milk, one particularly being Vitamin A. Vitamin A is necessary to repair damaged skin tissue and maintains healthy skin. 

      Cream. Fat molecules are an important part in making good soap. The cream found in goat's milk, helps in boosting the moisturizing quality of goat's milk soap. Like many other soaps, goat's milk soap will not dry your skin out. This, being important in having healthy skin, because keeping your skin moisturized naturally, is what will give you healthy skin. Due to its fat molecule content, goat's milk is said to reduce inflammation too. 

     Minerals. Goats milk contains important minerals for the skin such as selenium. Selenium is believed to have an important role in preventing skin cancer. It can also help in preventing damage to the skin from an excessive amount of time in the sun.

New Changes For Rainy Day Farm/Studio!!

      


  Ok everyone, exciting announcement! We are going to be making changes and adding some new things to my, (now our) business!!

  So as most of you know, I've had my business for a little over 8 years now! I spin, weave and create things using natural fibers. And I love it! But I've decided to partner up with my mom and we are going to create something a little different.

  Around 3 years ago we started a herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats with 4 does. Over the last couple of years we have grown that herd from 4 to now 11. From the beginning, we had the idea in mind of raising them for their milk for our family. Mom also had the idea of using their milk for other things too - Cheese, soap, lotion, etc...Mostly for our family first. Over the last year or so, she's been experimenting with making some of those things. The soap is one thing she's made, that we all really love and use daily! With the goats milk in it, it leaves your face feeling so fresh and clean, while also leaving it smooth and soft! So she has thought about it for awhile and decided why not start selling it? But soap is not the only thing she enjoys making or experimenting with! She loves herbs and using natural/herbal remedies for everything! Herbal teas/salves/anything we need to heal a sickness/issue/cut/bruise/ or whatever, she's there researching/mixing/and creating something to fix the problem! 

  We've had a lot of discussions and decided why not combine my love for weaving things out of natural fibers, and her love for creating things out of goats milk, herbs, and natural God-given things found on this earth, and turning it into an awesome business together?!? We're going to start out small and gradually add new things. Soaps and herbal teas are what we're going to start with, and then hopefully add new things soon! 

  All of her soaps are made with no harsh chemicals, or anything you wouldn't want to put on your skin. They are all scented with essential oils too - So no artificial fragrances. 

  So with all that, we will now be combining our products at shows/festivals and have a booth together. I will now be posting her things, as well as any new products/updates on my business FB page - Rainy Day Farm/Studio. << Please go and "Like" it, if you haven't already, for all the updates and exciting new things happening!!

  I'm excited for the new changes we will be making and hope you all are, too!! 

 Have an AmAzInG Friday everyone!!! 



  
   

Never Take Life For Granted...

     Life is truly precious - no matter what....Only God knows when you will breath your last breath...Or when the last time you will get to see the smiling face of a loved one on this earth will be....As much as we want to be prepared for it, and as much as we want to be right there to say goodbye to that person, it never works that way....We will never be ready to say goodbye to a loved one, a dear friend, or someone that means a lot to you....They are always taken way sooner than expected, or way sooner than you could have ever wanted, but only God knows the reasoning for this....His plans are far greater then ours could ever be.....

     A special man to many people was taken from this world yesterday....A dear neighbor of ours....Mr. Winkle...I will miss your bright smile, your stories, your laughter, the amazing neighbor you always were to us, and reading your blog daily...I always looked forward to reading what you would write and try learn something new from you everyday....You were the one who encouraged me in starting my own blog and spending a little time out of everyday to write something...I know I don't post something everyday, but now each time I do, I will always remember you, knowing you are one who encouraged me to do this....

      Seeing the many struggles, health issues, and so many other things  I see people around me go through everyday, makes me think and realize how perfect my life is....It makes me realize so much more, how the little things in life I get frustrated over, or think is a big deal, is really nothing....And that everyone around me have things that are SO much bigger, happening in their life....Your problems can be so small compared to others sometimes....When your life becomes tough, always remember someone out there is going through something a whole lot worse....

     Hug your loved ones a little tighter. Spend as much time with them as possible. Grow closer to them than you ever thought you could. Treat them to the best of your ability. Try and make the best out of everyday. Put a smile on your face each morning you awaken, and thank God for another day on this earth....You never will know when the last month/week/hour/day/minute or last breath will be of you, a loved one, a friend, or someone close to you...Always leave them with a smile, kind words, and happiness, because that may be the last time you will see them....Don't ever go to sleep at night, having regrets or unhappiness of how you treated someone that day....

     I hope to continually look back on this post, and try to remember these things. Try to treat everyone with a little more kindness and spend a little more time with loved ones.....Wake up every morning with a smile on my face, knowing God allowed me another day on this earth....

RIP Mr. Winkle...You will be missed by many and will forever be on my mind....
