artistic flare led Anne to discover her passion. “I love the process of creating,” she says. “Cooking, gardening, paint- ing and soap-making” she says, listing off her favourite pastimes, “They're all interrelated. And I was always interested in aromatherapy and herbs to help the body.” Now, her passion has transformed into a full-fledged business that her whole family is involved in. “My hus- band provides invaluable business advice and support,” explains Anne, before adding that her children, Sam and Antonia, in addition to testing her latest creations, “help main'y with packaging.” 's Milk Soap Company products can be found in various retail stores in Uxbridge, Markham and Whitby (for more retail locations, visit ca).

And, fortunately, she adds, “the product fits perfectly in the store.” Aside from the incredible support from her business associates, Anne says she is also grateful to live in a com- munity in which local businesses have the potential to thrive. “Port Perry is such a tourist destination,” she says. “People buy my soaps simply because they're made in Port Perry and that’s something to be proud of.” Christina Coughlin Focus on Scugog National Award Winning, Cruises kkk August Dinner Dance Cruises Fi Aug. 6- iota Turf “Fri.
