Been a while...

since I've posted... sometimes real life gets in the way. I'm back now though!

I have a handful of new soaps that I'm going to be putting up for sale on the website as well as a new hand cream!

Here are some of the soaps!

Orange Dreamsicle

 English Tea Rose

 Pink Grapefruit

 Nag Champa

 Cranberry Fig

 Monkey Stuff

Some new soaps!

These are the three soaps we made on Superbowl Sunday... They will be up for sale on the site around March 13th.


First we have Dragonsblood... This mysterious, alluring blend is difficult to describe. With warming notes of amber, incense, Madagascar vanilla and patchouli,  Dragonsblood is lightened up with layers of romantic notes such as rose, jasmine and lilac. Finally, the sensual, deep blend is topped off with the colorful, light touches of blood orange and grapefruit.

This second soap was scented with Hot Apple Pie fragrance but during the process the "spicyness" faded away and now it smells like yummy Green Apple... so I'm going to call it Green Apple, lol... plus, this way it goes with the color.

Last, finally we have a Mechanics Soap! This soap is made with activated charcoal which helps draw impurities as well as being an exfoliant/pumice for that caked on grime! It is scented with Lemon and Lemongrass Essential Oils which also work as a natural deodorizer! The perfect kitchen soap or for those of you who like getting your hands dirty!

Soapy Superbowl Sunday

I was finally able to convince my bf to make some soap with me. We made 3 batches and I let him pick the color and fragrance for two of them.

He picked Hot Apple Pie as a fragrance for the first batch with apple green as the color and the second batch is scented with Dragonsblood and it's a swirl of blue and purple. I can't wait to see and smell how they come out!

The third batch I'd been wanting to do for a long time, it's a mechanics soap so it has charcoal in it and it's scented with lemongrass and lemon essential oils. The perfect soap for cleaning grimy stinky hands!

I'll post pics of all three batches in a few days after they're unmolded.

Happy Soapy Superbowl Sunday!

Checking in...

My computer still isn't fixed and it's turned into this huge frustrating fiasco. I was able to get my labels & such from the hard drive so I'm able to make and package product, phew.

I have Midnight Pomegranate and Cold Water soaps that I've recently made but no pictures to post yet. The Cold Water I just made tonight so it'll be a few days before I unmold it. I also made more Lemongrass & Lavender tonight, it seems to be a really popular fragrance...I can see why though, it smells fantastic. I think I'll make another batch of it tomorrow so I'm stocked up.

I've been scrambling a bit with keeping some of my stuff stocked but this is really good, so I have an idea of how prepared I'll need to be for next years holiday season.

I hope everyone is doing well and having a nice holiday season. I'll get some pics of the new soaps soon and get them posted.

Have a great night everyone!

been a frustrating week so far...

I'm switching some of labels over to waterproof labels and I finally got them on Friday. Sunday I turned my pc on to work on printing them up and was greeted by this lovely message...

no boot device available-
strike the f1 key to continue, f2 to run the setup utility

After an evening of frustration and a lot of worry that my hard drive had died on me, Monday morning I called an IT guy I know who took my machine and determined that some connection on my motherboard had gone bad and needs to be replaced. I was able to find and purchase one online but it won't be here until Monday... of course this had to happen during a holiday week, right?

In the meantime I'm stressing because I have a bunch of products that need to be labeled and I'm out of business cards and need to print them up. So, the IT guy was nice enough to put my soap stuff on a CD for me, I figure I can print from my laptop... yea, no.. my laptop had other ideas. I went to turn it on yesterday it somehow had picked up some nasty spyware or virus that was completely messing up my hard drive, I couldn't open any programs and couldn't uninstall this nasty guy. Finally I was able to boot into Safe Mode and did a system restore to the previous day then ran various spyware & virus removal programs to make sure it was all gone.

ok, problem solved, ready to print labels, right?     yea, no... my laptop doesn't have the fonts installed that I'm using on my labels and business cards... d'oh

My new motherboard should be here on Monday, hopefully the IT guy can install it same day and I can get back in business.

Until then, I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday, I have a couple new soaps to take pictures of and post... both turned out really great, they smell and look great. I may even have more made by Monday.

Happy Turkey Day tomorrow!
