Bottom Butter

While we were in Colorado Springs, we had the pleasure (thanks to my willing hosts!) to stop in and check out CJ's Outlet & Boutique. The brick and mortar store, newly opened, carries a line of natural body products made by my friend CJ. I know CJ (who I still always want to refer to as Christina...) because she and her brother Matt were both involved as students and beyond in my Dad's campus ministry, as well as working at the camp where I was a camper for years and later a staff member. So anyway, thanks to the bizarre entity that is Facebook, CJ and I found each other, and she saw that I was having a baby, and she sent me several samples of her products to use on my sweet girl. And I got hooked. So now I'm telling you - if you have a baby, if you have skin (especially of the sensitive variety), if you like earth friendly and people friendly products made by real, hard working small business owners, do yourself a favor and check out the link above. The products are all safe for cloth diapers, the scents are perfectly fragrant yet not nauseatingly overpowering, and the butt balm seriously rids A of any sign of a rash in literally no time. We use the balm, lotion, chapstick and bugspray and I swear by them all. So there's my shameless plug! Go to the website to make an order or to find a local retailer if that floats your boat instead - there is at least one on Madison, and there are many in Nebraska for those of you out there interested. Your own skin and your baby's sweet bum will be eternally grateful (as will CJ, I'm sure!).
