Interview with Artisan Crafter Kismet of Lo-Lo by Bar-Maids

I’ve really enjoyed working with my recent blog sponsor, Lo-Lo by Bar-Maids. I support the work of this family-owned, eco-friendly, artisan skin care company. I love the Twisted Light candle from the brand that we did a giveaway for last week. And I’m excited today to share more with you in an interview I did with Kismet.

What a great attitude! I think it’s wonderful to embrace and enjoy each item that you make in this way. But I definitely want to share some of your specific products, too, so I’ll pause the interview here to just share a few I like:
