New Soaps in Shop and THIS HEAT!!!

It is 102 in the shade where I reside - went right from tornadic weather (with hail) to HOT.

I am a Pitta dosha, according to Ayurvedic medicine. This is the classic, red-headed, green-eyed dosha that is HOT already. The mind and intellect are quick and sharp too. Hot. Hot. Hot.  When faced with extreme heat, I am not only miserable, I am cranky, irritable and inpatient. Yep. That's me!

I have been MIA on both my blogs - and my reading of my other friend's blogs. But - I am back! Yay!

I was racing against time to stock new soap before the temps climbed, as I like my oils to stay fresh. So - I have been a little busy...but - I would like you to see a few new soaps.

White Flowers Supreme Shea

Oak Moss Rose Mint

Orange Blossom Shea

Bay Essential Oil Shaving Round

Black Temple Incense

Calendula Petals

Green Matcha Tea

Spring Cleaning the Temple

Spring feeling more like summer here! 

Regardless of what the weather feels like, I follow the time-honored tradition of 'spring cleaning'. Not only do I go through clothes and household goods for donation, I also cleanse and purify the house. 

The spring cleaning of one's living quarters makes a big difference in the personal environment. 

Typically, I thoroughly clean the house, change out bedding, drapes, carefully clean all crystals, adornments and organize or toss clutter. Then, I prepare a solution, depending on my purposes or intentions, and wipe down all the home's surfaces. Last, I burn incense and utilize aromatherapy.

Ahhh.......serenity.

I have not posted in awhile because I have been super-busy creating new soaps! I am excited about these new beauties, but I will wait awhile longer before posting any images. The curing period can test my patience. Especially the curing period for pure castile soap, which is 6 - 12 months. 

While we are on the topic of spring cleaning, many of you may not know that I create special soaps for rituals, ceremonies and purposes. These soaps are typically custom-ordered to the client's specifications. I have a small arsenal of herbs, roots and oils that I use to create these special soaps. Lastly, I imbue each and every one of my soaps with Reiki energy. I hold a 3rd degree in Reiki, although I do not widely advertise that fact.

I recently made some custom ritual soap attuned to Angelic healing for a special client. The order turned out beautifully.

Additionally, I have a batch of soap that is curing on the shelf that uses particular oils and herbal decoctions for prosperity. Sometimes, you must have knowledge of the magical arts and you will be able to spot the special soaps in the shop.

Curious?

Here is a current example of a spiritually-based cleansing soap .....

Sweetgrass, Cedar & Sage

This soap is made with the essential oils of the smudging herbs: sweetgrass, cedar and sage. These herbs are said to purify spaces, places, a person and the atmosphere. The smudging practice is well-known to Native Americans and Spiritual Practitioners. 

I am fond of this soap, as it has a mild, clean aroma and is colored with natural chlorophyll and turmeric. As always, the soap recipe itself is lightly moisturizing.

So, do keep in mind that "Your Body Is Your Temple". 

How about a nice spring cleaning in your tub?

Stormy Monday

Just a short post this evening to check in and thank each and every one of you for reading my blog. 

I have been unable to write as often as I would like because the soap shop has been busy.

In between filling various orders and special requests, I have been re-stocking the shop with old favorite standards and some seasonal offerings. 

I am excited about the new soaps! Most will be available by the middle to the end of May, 2011. 

I will surprise you with photos of the new soaps as soon as I complete the soap making.

In the meantime, I will leave you with three citrus-based, scented soaps that seem just right for now. All three are enriched with raw, unrefined and organic butters. Yum!

Lemon Sugar

Pink Grapefruit & Apricot

Orange Vanilla Cream

Like so may other areas in the United States, we have been plagued with extremely treacherous weather lately. I may have mentioned before that I do not like to make soap during rain or high humidity. Well, I had no choice today! Amidst tornado warnings, rain, lightning, thunder and hail, three new logs somehow managed to get poured. Typically, I can cut my logs within 24 hours (or sooner). Lately, I have had to wait 48+ hours to cut the soap logs with no recipe changes. So much moisture in the air!

Keep your fingers crossed and pray to the soap Angels that the batches I made today gel and cure properly. 

Thank you!
Be safe in this stormy weather.

In Love, Truth and Beauty..........

Green Soap

First up - Peppermint Cream, actually a bluish-green, but made with peppermint essential oil and ground mint. I love mint, so I am partial to this beauty. Chock full of pampering ingredients so as not to dry or irritate skin.

Peppermint Cream

Next, Green Tea Supreme, a very hard, yet moisturizing bar that has the fresh, dry, soft, yet crisp scent of green tea, topped off with crunchy raw, organic sugar. Only one bar left of this soap!

Green Tea Supreme

 Herb Garden is my current obsession! I love the fresh bay, basil and lemon balm oils. The base recipe is very hard and rich (and giant bars!), creamy and moisturizing, so I tossed in some ground nettles to balance the recipe. I seriously love this soap!

Herb Garden

Forest Shea is all good things in one bar! It has all the evergreen scents - pine, cedar, balsam fir, softened with ground vanilla beans, nutmeg and other spicy essential oils. It is on the sweet side, but perfect for a person who feels 'grounded' when surrounded by nature. It is not the candy-like green that shows in the photo. It is a softer green, topped with a white frosting and sprinkled with iridescent fairy dust. This soap just gets better with time. Hurry! Only two bars left and it is on SALE!!

Forest Shea

 One last bar of Thieves in the Garden, also specially priced. Only one bar left! This is eucalyptus rich with sweet orange, cinnamon and clove essential oils to ease colds, sinus issues and allergies. This soap is fabulous in a hot steamy shower! 

I hope that you have liked my little green soap treasury! Each one of these soaps would be suitable for a man or a woman.

May you have a great rest of the weekend!

Angelic Hugs!
