Upcoming Soaps...

The next soaps getting made are:

Oatmeal Milk & Honey
Apricot Freesia
Fresh Blend (Orange, Eucalyptus, Patchouli, Ylang Ylang)
Unscented Calendula
Vetiver Bay

CinnaMint

A blend of essential oils, Cinnamon Bark and Peppermint. I think this will be our only holidayish soap this season. Cinnamon throughout and a nice tan color. This soap turned out great.

Bolivian Sea Salt Scrub

This time I made the soap its natural color to try and highlight the lovely coral color of the Bolivian Sea Salt. The particles are small so I'm not sure how its going to show up.

Bolivian Salt is hand harvested from the Andes Mountain range in Bolivia. Ancient sea salt deposits were covered with volcanic lava creating this high mineral salt and protecting it from pollution.

Relaxing Blend

This is a favorite of many although the last batch did not sell out as fast as it usually does. Maybe its a winter soap when people have drier skin and need the Colloidal Oatmeal in the soap.

This is an essential oil blend of Palmarosa (Powdery, floral, herbaceous, perhaps with a hint of rose. It is antifungal and antiviral. Indicated for bronchitis, birthing, regeneration of the skin, and regulating oil production of the skin. Useful in treating skin infections.)

and Lavender (floral, herbaceous, light with woody undertones promotes growth of new skin cells, great healing effect on burns and sunburn, acne, psoriasis, boils, fungal growths, and scarring. Lavender is one of the safest essential oils to use with children and the elderly)

Soundtrack: PJ Harvey, White Chalk

Suka Cita

I.Made.Soap!

You may think that this is not a big deal but its been a rough few months in which I thought I would never get out of bed again. This is a dream come true.

Suka Cita is translated to mean a feeling of ultimate happiness and is an essential oil blend of Jasmine, Rose and Sandalwood. Much like Aveda's Euphoria. A customer requested this in time for Christmas and I am happy I could oblige.



Soundtrack: None, I had to concentrate!

Back after some illness

As you can see I have not been making new soaps for a while. I have been very ill and bedridden with an especially difficult pregnancy. The good news is that the baby and I are fine and I'm beginning to feel well enough to soap!

Up next....


Suka Cita
Relaxing Blend
CinnaMint
Bolivan Salt Scrub


Thanks for your patience!
