An Old- Fashioned Sweet Christmas
My aunt, Grace gave me a recipe several years ago called the Christmas Cake. This recipe was very similar to the famous, Red Velvet Cake with the exception of a few ingredients.
When I think of Red Velvet Cake, I immediately think of decadence and luxury. There is a story behind, the Red Velvet Cake that is sort of an urban legend. According to legend both Canada and the United States have laid claim to its origin. The recipe comes from the famous Waldorf-Astoria hotel and a customer was charged $350 US for the recipe.
The Dirty House Wife of New Hampshire,is owned by Tanya Malcolm offers a line of essential oils in perfume, soap, lip balm and skin care. I was sold simply on the names of these products. I chose several items to review from the Sweet Spot Collection.It is a collection for candy and sweet lovers and simply delectable!

Red Velvet Cake is "lip smacking" good. So, in order to keep those puckers moisturized and smooth while attending Holiday parties you are going to need lip balm.
