Mother's Day is just around the corner!

Happy Spring, everyone!  I hope all of you are enjoying this beautiful weather and blooming flowers.  I have been enjoying it all, including creating new Spring products!

Don't forget that Mother's Day is just around the corner!  And Moms love soap!  Above you will see my newest soap creation which is called Hawaiian Breezes and it smells incredible!  Picture yourself laying on the beaches of Hawaii with this tropical, floral soap! Nuances of plumeria, gardenia, orchid, and pikake flowers mingle with an undertone of ginger.

Each soap is custom-made, so each hibiscus-shaped soap will vary in color. Each soap is truly unique! ($5.50 for one 4-ounce soap)

We also have other new Spring products, which include Sweet Clementine Soap made with Mango Butter & Silk, Rainbow Snow Cone Lip Balm made with Jojoba & Avocado Oils, and Lilac Air Perfume Oil.  I'm currently obsessed with all three products.  :)

Happy Spring!
Alex  :)

New Product Feature - Cuticle Balm

Introducing my newest product: Cuticle Balm!

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to take better care of my hands - nails included. I'm guilty of not moisturizing enough, and unfortunately, it can really take a toll during these cold and dry winter months. Made with organic shea and organic cocoa butters, this balm helps moisturize and soothe dry cuticles while helping prevent hangnails. This container is also the perfect size to carry in your pocket or purse!

You can find the cuticle balm in 2 fragrances: Golden Yuzu and Lemon Lavender.  Both sell for $5.

Don't forget your cuticles need moisturizing, too!  :)

New products & Soapy Updates

Happy New Year, everyone!  I hope you enjoyed the holiday season, including Valentine's Day!  I wanted to update you all on some new Spring products as well as some updates on the shop.

I'm craving Spring during this chilly and dull February.  I've created some new products to help get ready for the warmer weather coming soon!  These are very fresh fragrances - you'll fall in love with them!


LILAC AIR - While growing up in Rochester, NY (the lilac capital of the world), I became very spoiled every Spring when the lilac bushes would bloom. Their fragrance is absolutely breath-taking! This perfume oil is a true lilac scent - no powdery undertones. Just beautiful.  Available in soap and perfume oil!

SWEET CLEMENTINE - Not too sweet, not too tart. This is a very fresh citrus fragrance that will be perfect for waking your body and mind up in the morning!  Available in soap and perfume oil!

IRISH ROLLING HILLS - I've never been to Ireland, but I imagine it might smell this way while wandering through the Irish countryside. A spicy-sweet blend of verbena and lemon, a green iris and violet leaves, and sublime notes of sandalwood and ambergris.  This soap is just perfect for St. Patrick's Day!

Finally, I wanted to let everyone know that I have permanently decided to sell my bath bombs in sets of three.  I mentioned this in my December 10th blog entry and this change has proven to be very successful in preserving my sanity!  I am also happy to announce that my awesome husband bought me a bath bomb press machine and production is easier for me.  Keep on the lookout in the shop for new fragrances of this fun bath product.

Enjoy your day and thank you for reading!  :)

Thank you very much for a year full of soapy goodness!  Happy Holidays and I'll see you in the soapy New Year!

Stay tuned for the release of new Spring Fragrances and a new product or two.  :)

An update on my Bath Bombs

In order to preserve my sanity, I have started to sell bath bombs in sets of 3. I quickly found out that it wasn't cost effective to send only one or two, and this helps me to continue to offer a discount on the 3-pack. My brand new bath bomb press (thank you so much to my husband) is also making rock-hard bath bombs, which makes the bombs last even longer!

I may have to increase the price in the new year, but will keep the 3 for $8 deal for the rest of the holiday season! I will make sure to ensure that I can still offer a discount on the 3-pack no matter what!

Thank you for all of your support!

300 sales!

During Small Business Saturday, we cruised passed 300 sales!  What an exciting treat on such an important day.  THANK YOU for all of your support!  :)

Now that the election's over...

A public service announcement from me, shared with love.  :)

Fun & Festive Autumn Products

Autumn is my absolute favorite season!  I love the crisp, cool air, pumpkins lining front porches, falling leaves, and mugs of apple cider.  I've been working on some fun and festive Autumn products in ode to my favorite season.  Scroll down and take a look!

 Pumpkin Spice Shea Butter Soap

These adorable pumpkin-shaped soaps smell amazing.  The blend of creamy pumpkin along with nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, and ginger complete this comforting fragrance.  (one 3-ounce soap for $4.25)

Toffee Apple Crunch Soap made with Mango Butter & Silk

This was a real favorite in my shop last Autumn, so I had to have this soap make a comeback!  This Toffee Apple Crunch soap smells just like a fresh, tart apple drizzled with toffee and caramel, sprinkled with chopped nuts. So very, very good!  (one 4.5-ounce bar for $5.50)

Pumpkin Cheesecake Lip Balm made with Jojoba & Avocado Oils

Behold the power of PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE LIP BALM!  Pumpkin and cheesecake.   Can you think of a more perfect combination?  The spicy pumpkin blended with the creamy cheesecake is the perfect autumn treat!  (one .15-ounce tube for $3.50)

Autumn Leaves Soap made with Mango Butter & Silk

This is a very complex scent.   A musky fragrance with a hint of bergamot and clove and a dash of vanilla and plum.  This will remind you of taking a walk on an Autumn afternoon!  (one 4.5-ounce bar for $5.50)


Thanks for reading and I hope one (or more!) of these products strike your fancy!  :)
