Pesky Pests
I recently came across a few ways to repel pesky pests. I don’t mean your little sister or the guy who keeps asking you to go to the annual company holiday party with him. I mean the sneaky, food stealing, welt inducing biters and general gross you out things that occasionally hide in the kitchen…
Read MoreEssential Oils
Recently the subject of essential oils has come to the fore front of the collective Purple Fig mind. (Yes, sometimes we operate as One.) I put the query to our clients as to what scent they would like in their bottles. Using the ever popular Facebook poll, I hope to please as many people as…
