I create when I am stressed. These days, I create a lot; therefore, I have lots of butter left over to share.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is your favorite product that you craft? : My favorite product is my body butters.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;What would you like to try that you haven't yet? : I want to try to make scrubs and lotion bars next. I've made them in the past but I need a little more practice.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is the most valuable piece of advice you have ever received regarding your business? : The most valuable piece of advice I received is the right steps to make an online presence. I am still working to make that happen little by little.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lydia's Spa Collections is a memeber of the Scented Divas Guild on Art Fire.
