MidMo Strawberry Festival and Honor Flights for Veterans

This past week I was fortunate to get a last minute acceptance as a vendor at the MidMo Strawberry Festival. It was a 4-hour event on Saturday afternoon in Fulton, Missouri at a beautiful little winery in the country – Serenity Valley Winery. The festival proceeds go to Central Missouri Honor Flight whose mission is to provide transport for Veterans to visit the memorials in D.C.. I love this cause!

I love the cause so much that from yesterday (yes, I’m including all my sales at yesterday’s festival!) through June 30, 2022, 10% of everything I sell will be donated to Oklahoma Warriors – Oklahoma’s Honor Flights program! PLEASE JOIN ME in thanking our vets for all they’ve given to keep America free! If you need to restock on Morphine Bomb or Allergy Buster- now is the time! I’m including every single one of my brand new products like Itch Stick (for bug bites), Leaves of Three (for poison ivy/oak/sumac), Migraine Blend for Women, and so much more!

Delivery Vs. Shipping

If you need help finding something just message me and I’ll help you. If you don’t want to pay shipping and you’re local to me, I can do deliveries on June 24th-27th and again July 1st-4th. You just need to message me and let me know so I can send you an invoice that doesn’t include shipping. If you don’t do credit cards, I can take CashApp – again, you just have to let me know because CashApp isn’t connected to my website.

Festival Bestsellers

Now that I’ve got the announcement out of the way, I’ll continue the tradition I started last year and announce my best sellers at the MidMo Strawberry Festival:

#1: Allergy Buster

#2: Lava bead bracelets for use with essential oils (I don’t have everything up on my website and a quick search tells me I only have one or two bracelets up right now so if you’re interested, message me and I’ll send you back a pic of all the bracelets I have. Some are handcrafted, others aren’t. Some are for big wrists, some are for tiny wrists. All are $10.)

Help the Vets Get to D.C.!

I’m looking forward to help a vet get to D.C. I hope you’ll consider purchasing this month so you can help, too! THANK YOU! Now go SHOP!

~ Ink & Perfume ~ Grapeseed Oil

I’m excited to tell you about one of the changes I made this year for Honeysuckle Farm products. Last year products were made with coconut oil. While I love coconut oil, those who aren’t familiar with it were frustrated when the oils in their roller bottles solidified. They didn’t remember me telling them to warm it back up because air conditioning solidifies coconut oil. Well…problem solved! This year, I’m using grapeseed oil as a base rather than coconut oil. The biggest obvious benefit is it doesn’t solidify in air conditioned buildings, but there are so many more benefits. The second thing that drew me to grapeseed oil was the fact it has quercetin which boosts your immune system. I began researching grapeseed oil and this is what I found.

Grapeseed Oil: Lightweight & Powerful

Grapeseed oil is a lightweight oil and absorbs quickly so it’s great for any mixture you use on your skin or hair. It works with all skin types including oily skin that still needs a moisturizer. It’s also a powerhouse for your body. It contains quercetin which builds your immune system and helps you fight off viruses, bacteria, colds, and flu. It is cardioprotective, and helps lower blood pressure. There are also studies that show it helps protect you from cancer. You can find the study here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4988453/. You can find a visual of the benefits here:

Other studies show cosmetic benefits of grapeseed oil. Here is the visual and the link to the study is at the end:

As always, I recommend you seek out your own online sources of information before you apply anything to your body. This blog is in no way meant as medical advice and you should always consult a physician prior to using any supplements. One caveat I found in the studies was that grapeseed oil is high in Omega-6 fatty acids so if you get a high amount of Omega-6 in your diet, you may want to skip the grapeseed oil. Having said that, if you ever need to customize any of my products with a different oil, just let me know. I’ll accommodate all the requests that I’m able to accommodate.

I hope you love the changes in the products this year. I’d like to send a special shout-out to Rajesh Rajput and Unsplash.com for use of the grape photo in my Grapeseed Oil infographics. I’m excited to debut the new items and look forward to your feedback. Take care and stay healthy.
