It’s been a busy September in the Sweet Tarragon world.

Check out my own personal favorite new necklace, Aqua and True, and get a glimpse at our crappy hardwood floors! We’ve also been all over the web: Kate at Om Shanti nominated us for the Brilliante Blog Award, and I was interviewed by Sheila Satin on her blog I Dig Crystals. Thank you Sheila and Kate! Mer and I succumbed to a new addiction this month and you can now find both of us on Twitter: @daniellenelson and @braindouche. Follow us if you’re a fellow Tweeter!

Stay tuned for the grand opening, currently slated for mid-autumn 2008! Until then, please continue to visit our Etsy Shop for new items and great buys.
That’s all until next month!

Product Love: Tangerine Vanilla Lip Balm
A few weeks ago, I treated myself to some of Om Shanti Handcrafts‘ divine Tangerine Vanilla Lip Balm. Well, truth be told, I treated myself to a three-pack of lip balms, but other than a quick taste of the Chai and Cilantro Lime flavors, I haven’t touched them. Why?
Kate’s Vanilla Tangerine lip balm is crack cocaine.
Really, I mean it. I wear it all the time, and I get really, really upset if I leave it at home, or can’t find it because I left it in the scattered mess that is our dining room slash office slash beading room slash shipping facility. I push it on everyone – in the midst of my grandmother’s 80th birthday party, with dozens upon dozens of relatives swarming her house, I chased my mother around with it, saying “but it smells like an Orange Julius!” I have stuck it under the noses of people I work with, and it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if I started pushing it on people I don’t even know. I am addicted to the blissful citrusy goo.
The really cool thing about it? It tastes good, and therefore I lick my lips (because I want to eat it like candy.) When I do that with sub-par tasty balms, my lips get icky and I need to constantly reapply. Not this stuff – Om Shanti balm has some serious staying power, and gently fades away after many, many hours. (That’s how I lose it so frequently, you see, because I don’t need to reapply it every 10 minutes.)
This is starting to border on stalking (can you stalk a lip balm?), so I’ll sum up.
Tangerine Vanilla Lip Balm by Om Shanti Handcrafts. It’s yummy and delightful. Buy it for yourself and everyone you know. (And check out some of her other stuff, too!)
*Full disclosure: Kate, the genius behind Om Shanti, is a dear friend…who has no idea that I’m writing this. Hi hun!
