{Elegance Beyond} Update!

Hello.
Just to let all of you know, creating new recipes have been coming along perfectly! I am so excited 
to say that I LOVE creating recipes! It's a nice therapy for me. And its actually relaxing to me.
I have also been working on my website along with creating recipes. Thats coming along
great as well. I am also trying to create a system where I work on a category for a certain amount of
time and then go to another category. Because I will be producing a larger amount of product then usual
and so I need a sound proof system. Other than that, everything is going great. I will continue 
to take breaks and create recipes so that I can have my down time. I don't want to be OVERWHELMED
and I am not going to be OVERWHELMED. I just want to be sufficient. Other than those things,
the next step is around the corner and I am so excited.

Creating Recipes!

   ~I am in the process now of creating some NEW recipes for Elegance Beyond. I have TONS of recipes that I want to create and I have lots of time. I am so excited about that because I can take my time doing so. I take my business seriously and I am not just going to throw ingredients together. It takes time and configuration. I am so proud of myself. So for the next few weeks, I am going to be working on recipes. Yes just recipes. Stay tuned for more news and information on Elegance Beyond.~
