New Winter Soaps Listed

I was very busy and haggard in December, but my labor has paid off!
Today, I listed a few brand new soaps (and re-listed some old favorites) in the soap shop.
I have been watching my diet like a hawk, so, well, uh, er - most of my soap is "foodie"! Ha!
The base recipes have all been reformulated to include lovely raw, organic and unrefined shea and cocoa butters, coconut milk and/or castor oil (a personal fave).
Here are some of my new soaps, which I designed to uplift skin and spirits that may need extra TLC during this LONG winter.....

Lemon Poppyseed Poundcake

Pink Grapefruit & Apricot Shea

Coconut Honey Butter

Tangerine Temple Incense

 

 

 

 

 

Are you hungry yet?

That was Fast!

The first week of January has flown by on wings!
I am taking a short intermission from soaping.
The soap shop will be open for orders, but no parcels will be shipped until after January 15, 2011.
The stock is getting low!
Only one bar each left of "Hope Chest Shea" (specially priced for January), "Sugared Citrus Patchouly", "Intense Emollient Herb Garden" and "Lullaby Shea". Other soaps are still available - standards like "Honey-Beeswax" and "Butter Cream" - both excellent winter skin delights.

Butter Cream

I will be listing new soaps around January 16, 2011. I cannot wait for you to see the new soaps! I think they will hit that old mid-winter spot! Fragrance and formulations are very nice indeed.
I have devised some new base formulas for winter. Almost every soap has copious amounts of raw, unrefined cocoa butter or raw, unrefined shea butter - organic and free trade sourced. I still use castor oil and coconut milk or coconut cream in nearly every soap for that luxe, dense, incredible lather that you have come to know and love.
Happy January, All!

2011

Best wishes to all for a healthy, prosperous and joyous New Year!
May each of you be touched and warmed by the power of love.
Angelic Hugs!

To Sale or Not to Sale...That is the Question

I typically resist the usual "sales" in my little shop. 

However, I usually mark all inventory down in August. August  is simply too hot for all of my base oils and product. I  think of the summer clearance as "Christmas in August".

I have been toying with the idea of a monthly 'special'.

I invite your comments on this notion.

What do you do in your shop?

If you are a consumer, what draws you to a shop?

I created many new soaps before Christmas, as I like a good, long curing time - although that is not always possible with 'in-demand' soaps!

I am now thinking of some new strategies for 2011 (Can you believe it is going to be 2011?!).

Any thoughts, comments and suggestions are welcome!

As always.......thank you. 

I love our 'soap blog' community. 

I have found that most of my blog readers are more supportive, respectful and helpful than any of the soap forums.

THANK YOU!!!

In so much Love, Truth and Beauty.......

December 18, 2010

I wanted to take a few minutes off from wrapping and packing orders to say "thank you" to all of my followers!

As the Solstice grows closer, my wishes for you are love, joy and true warmth of the heart.

Let each and every one of us continue to carry this transformational energy, lest we forget that the Holidays are not the only time to feel love, kindness and compassion.

We need to love and care for ourselves before we extend the same to others.

Warm Wishes for All of your Days!

Angelic Hugs!

Frankincense & Myrrh Shea (Gilded)

Holiday Soaps on Sale!

I have caved to the pressure...but also mindful that many people's purses are not as full these days...so - I am offering three (3) of my limited edition soaps at special prices.

Candy Cane Swirl

Candy Cane Swirl has a sweet scent of spearmint, vanilla and sweet orange essential oils. This soap and scent is one of my personal favorites! Now ON SALE in the Etsy Soap Shop until December 21, 2010.

Frankincense & Myrrh

The classic and timeless scent of Frankincense and Myrrh in a beautiful, swirled shea butter recipe! Now ON SALE in the Etsy Soap Shop until December 21, 2010. This scent is made with a combination of REAL frankincense and myrrh essential oils with added fragrance for staying power. 

Cedar Chest

The soap is beautiful, snowy white with delicate swirls of spices. Topped with Copper Penny mica, Cedar Chest is gorgeous! Now ON SALE in the Etsy Soap Shop until December 21, 2010.

I believe that these three soaps are some of my best creations!
