When you have nothing to say,
you may as well keep your mouth shut.
The wind and the rain
don’t go on forever.
If nature knows enough
to give it a rest sometimes,
so should you.
As I’m wont to do every few months, I’ve taken an unscheduled breather.
Removing a few things, if you will.
Becoming wiser.
All is right and well with the universe, and in my home, and The Crunchy Betty Natural Market has not, in fact, taken the breather with the blog – so don’t fret if you’ve placed an order or you’re thinking about it and wondering where I am.
Crunchy Betty will be back this week.
Just had to follow some very annoyingly persistent intuition. SO glad I did. π
Love you all!

(Scroll down past the explanation of how it came into being, to get to the good stuff. Pick a verse, any verse. Maybe you’ll find your wisdom for the week. It’s kinda magic like that, regardless of translation.)
Ha very good post. π Figured you were just taking another break. Hope it was a good one!
π HOW DARE YOU!!!??? Hahah, hope you are having a good break!
Wishing you wisdom and peace in your sacred space.
Glad things a good with you,we all need a breather once in a while.
Love your blog,Jocelan
I am so so sad….will you be making more of the kokomo cream deodorant soon? I tried to order on Etsy and they are out. Hope it will be back soon.
They’re in stock! You must’ve just seen ’em between orders/restocking. Sometimes it takes us an hour or two to get to Etsy to “renew” the listings.
Wise, funny words – loved them! I WAS wondering where you were as a matter of fact. Which is a bit of a cheek considering I never leave comments and show appreciation for all your wonderful posts! Please know that I love your blog, wish you a peaceful and inspiring break and look forward to the next time your update lands in my inbox.
I agree…we all need a breather at times! I mean, I ain’t gonna lie, I was like, “Umm, when is she going to post another blog with her brillant ideas!?” lol. It’s just cause I look foward to your posts. Your blog is AMAZING! I know I speak for all of us when I say, “It’s one of my favorites ever.” Thanks for all your wonderful ideas and time into this site. Enjoy your break very much!
Hey, cool! This just hit me in the perfect way because sometimes people forget that bloggers might need to step back and recharge every once in a while. Enjoy yourself and do something besides staring at a computer. Like napping. Napping is good.
Agreed. I’m not a blogger, but they sure do put A LOT of effort into what they do and it absolutely shows for CB.

I hope all is well with you and wish you the very best as you take a break to breathe. As you say, “The wind and the rain donβt go on forever.”
Hope you’re doing well. Miss you.
Bettyeeeeeeeeee~~~~~~ come backkkkkkk!!!!!!! school holidays are coming and if you don’t update with awesome crunchistry, i won’t have anything to do D:
Can’t wait till your next post π
love this, needed this. love your blog…. cooking up some nutty butt butter bars right now (actually steeping the oils) my sweetie is excited!
I just wanted to pop in and say, thank you for this awesome blog! I realized that I never comment even though this is probably my favourite blog ever so here I am commenting to say enjoy your break, and I am excited for when you come back. In the mean time however I am reading old posts and browsing the crunchy community to get my Crunchy Betty fix.
we miss you!!!
I miss your posts.. Do you have any man-friendly ideas? My guy loves all the stuff I make, but thinks it’s too frilly for him. I made a cleansing bar, but I was wondering if you have any good cleansing stuff (besides the oil method) that can be kept in the bathroom. The cleansing bars melt and have to be kept in the fridge… Makes it hard to remember to use it…….
I miss reading your blog! Hope all is well in the world of Crunchy Betty π
Woke up thinkin’ of ya and wanted you to know. Peace be with you, Betty.
