Snow Day and Bath Bombs


Happy Friday!
It is a snowy day here in Swift Current, needing to snow blow our way out of the house.

This is out my back door! Holy snow batman.


Yesterday was bath bomb day at "The Sassy Soap Company.  I will be posting pictures of the journey I take to make bath bombs.
My bath bombs are only about 1oz, but full of good things for your body.  I include baking soda, citric acid, coconut oil and fragrance/essential oils.  They fizz nice and make your skin silky smooth when you get out of your tub.  The reason I choose this recipe was the very few ingredients that were required and for the fact there was coconut oil in it, which is so amazing for your skin.

Coconut oil is excellent massage oil for the skin. It acts as an effective moisturizer on all types of skins including dry skin. The benefit of coconut oil on the skin is comparable to that of mineral oil. Further, unlike mineral oil, there is no chance of having any adverse side effects on the skin with the application of coconut oil. Coconut oil therefore is a safe solution for preventing dryness and flaking of skin. It also delays wrinkles, and sagging of skin which normally become prominent with age. Coconut oil also helps in treating various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitiseczema and other skin infections. Therefore coconut oil forms the basic ingredient of various body care products such as soaps, lotions, creams, etc., used for skin care. Coconut oil also helps in preventing premature aging and degenerative diseases due to its antioxidant properties.
Thanks to organic facts for this useful information.
I sell my bath bombs in different packages.  I sell them individually for $1.25, 5 packs for $5.00, and 16 packs for $15.00.   

I start with my basic ingredients!
 Mix thoroughly!


 Shape into bath bombs!


Wrap and package!! Love them.  They are so perfect when you need that relaxing bath after a long day!
Enjoy your Friday!

Starting off the New Year with a Blog!!

Good Morning to All:

This is my new blog of my soap company "The Sassy Soap Company".

My name is Randi Hymers, I opened my company on Nov 3, 2012, and have been soaping and developing new products just about every day since.  I have 3 great sons and a very supportive husband that have helped along the way.  Its been an interesting ride so far into the world of selling soap and other personal care product.

I am fairly new a soap making but have found that it is the best thing I have ever done.  I have been looking into healthier choices for my skin and my boys skin for awhile and never found products that I was completely happy with or fit my budget.  With making my own soap I know exactly what is in it and I can control what I use on my skin.  When I mentioned I was interested in started to sell my soap I had a lot of interest and thought what the heck. I was pointed in the direction of a former soap business owner that had supplies to sell.  She was kind enough to help me get started and like they say the rest is history.

My soaps  are made with few ingredients, olive  or canola oil, coconut oil,  she butter, lye  and water.  I add the fragrance oil and color to spruce it up.  I use only high recommended suppliers for my supplies.  All that are within Canada and the US.  I use very basic ingredients in the rest of my products as well, nice oils and wonderful fragrances.

I can't begin to share the gratitude  I have for everyone that has supported me in this journey, and I hope I can provide you with awesome products that are naturally made with lots of love for many years to come.  Thanks to all who have been with me from the start and welcome to all the newcomers.

If you have suggestion let me hear them I have an open ear and it just might be my next best product or step in my journey.

Take care,
Have a wonderful week!!
Randi
