New Releases!!

I have been working on some great soap for the holidays!!

The first up is Red Tulip and Evergreen! This was a bestseller last year.  When I smell this soap I think of the great outdoors, of Christmas tree and flowers. It pulls me to the dream of an old fashioned Christmas in a cabin in the woods.  A great way to bring the outdoors indoors.


Next is Tree Lighting! Another great holiday season scent.  Imagine this, a  pot of simmering cranberries with some orange slices on the stove in a cabin with the deck doors open to snowy fresh outdoors.  A great mix of sweet and outdoorsy.  A must have for the holidays

Christmas Eve has been a popular soap since I opened my shop. A fantastic blend of fruits, vanilla, cinnamon and musk.  This fragrance is a blend that soothes the soul.  


Who doesn't love gingerbread during the Holidays.   This will take you back to baking with your Grandma.  A great blend of cocoa, vanilla, nutmeg, honey, ginger, cloves and lemon.  All the great ingredients to make those delicious
 cookie that we all enjoyed with a glass of milk during those cold winter months.


Winter Dreams is a perfect blend of fruit, patchouli, sandalwood, musk, vanilla with some cinnamon added.  A great blend for those lovers of the earthy blends.  A must have for the holidays.


These new fragrances will be added to the web store this week and will be up for pre sale then.  They will be ready to ship around Oct 10.

Please let me know of any great holiday scents that you think I'm missing.  I love to hear what people like and want for the holidays.

Have a great day!!

Soapy Kitchen!

Every Soapers Dream to Have Their Own Kitchen!!


When my husband brought up to me that we could build me my own soap kitchen in part of the basement, I said "I don't need that!"  Why would we go to all this expense to put a one use space in our home? But he finally talked me into it.  Well let me tell you, it is the best thing ever!!
I
This is my great work space, with lots of storage.  It is definitely a bit tight, so I better not gain any weight, haha, but I love it!  

My sink, hot plate and microwave stand which now contains a microwave.  It is just the perfect amount of space and equipment to make all kinds of products and stay organized.  Mainly this area is where all the magic happens!!

I have a small area for display of some of my products including the lotions, body butters, scrubs, lotion bars, salt soaks and Buddha soaps.  It also has my colors and misc ingredients.

Next we have my small hoarding of fragrance oils and essential oils.  When I put them all in one spot I'm kind of happy but kind of what the hell do I need all these fragrances for.  Beside the fragrances is all the clays, exfoliants, salts and other items that make the most fantastic products you can imagine.

Last but not least I have my lip balm station, bath bomb station, my glycerin soap station, some molds and most of my equipment.  
I have one more shelf to add, hopefully this weekend.  
I am one of the luckiest ladies around, my husband built me this beautiful space and I love it, I don't like to leave it.  All I'm missing is a coffee maker and then I would never leave it!
I hope you enjoyed my tour of my soap area, I hope that many of you will be able to visit and check it out some time.
Until next time.
