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!!!

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!

Scorpio Birthday Soap Giveaway

Three rules: 

1). Join my Fan Page on Facebook
2). Be a Scorpio
3). Be one of the first three to comment after the giveaway is officially announced

Get one of these...........


Sexy Scorpio Soap!!

In Love, Truth and Beauty....

Examples of 3 Different Soap Types

Here are examples of three different types of soap created in three different methods.

First up - "Night Queen", a cold process soap scented with the beautiful night-blooming jasmine! Note the silky texture in the body of the soap bar, as well as the textured top....this smooth finish, fine swirls and cake batter-like top is typically indicative of cold process soap.


"Oak Moss" is created in the hot process method. This soap is cooked in a crock pot, the oven or a stove top. Hot process soaps have a distinctive texture, somewhat waxy and usually rustic in appearance.



"Citrine-Topaz Gem Chunk" is created in a collage-like fashion from cut up and melted soap. This is referred to as melt and pour. This type of soapmaking is not considered to be 'made from scratch' like cold process and hot process, but it has certain advantages.


More to come in future blogs about the various methods of soapmaking!

Do you know what is in your soap dish?

Allergies, Sinus and Rainy Weather....

...and a prod from my new Nephew-in-Law prompted the creation of this new soap!

Thieves in the Garden

Thieves in the Garden  is inspired by the famous essential oil blend, "4 Thieves". This blend is reputed to have helped combat the plague! It is also touted as possessing the ability to reduce bacteria, fungus, mildew and bacteria when diffused into the air!

I am not making such lofty claims for Thieves in the Garden, but it certainly seems to temporarily ease congestion and hay fever when used in a hot, steamy shower!

Triple-scented with eucalyptus essential oil, rosemary, clove, cinnamon and lots of other goodies, this Angelic Soap has loads of aromatic, spicy notes and is laced with eucalyptus leaves and studded with cloves.

I think it looks like the French cave paintings at Lascaux! I love those paintings!
Invigorating!!!!

Be well.....

Rosewater Complexion Soap

Formulated in the ancient Ayurvedic tradition from a closely guarded recipe, I have posted two new Rosewater soaps in the shop. For those readers familiar with Ayurveda, these bars will be recognized as Pitta-pacifying cleansers.
There is a creamy smooth bar and a mildly exfoliating type laced with ground almonds and orange zest.
Here is the smooth Rosewater Bar:


Here is the mildly scrubby Rosewater bar:

The Rosewater Cleansing Bars are made in the hot process method and contain cooling ingredients. I have found that this soap performs beautifully on my delicate, sensitive skin.

Soap of Sin

Yes - that is correct!
The soap of sin is actually a bar of good, clean fun - but the aesthetics, the French connection and the scent! Well ... you just have to experience French Vanille Noir for yourself!!!


This is one of those soaps that can perfume a space....and every time I walk by it, it makes me happy! I blended the scent from cocoa butter, and - AHEM! Black Vanilla, fresh French Roast coffee, nutmeg, orange blossom, a little chocolate........and now I need to go to confession.
French Vanille Noir is cold-processed and rich (go figure)....scads of raw, unrefined cocoa butter, coconut cream, and other oils plus skin safe sparkle!
Why not sin a little with this seasonal splurge? What is a little dark, good, clean fun, eh? After all, the days are getting shorter, and All Hallows Eve will be here before you know it!
Available now in our Etsy shop.
In Love, Truth, Beauty, and Decadence.....

New Soaps Listed

I have been too busy to post for a few weeks now. I suspect this may continue as the holiday season will descend upon us soon! My solution is to write shorter posts until I find more time.

Today I wanted to share a few pics of cold process soap newly listed in the Etsy shop.

"Cacao Spice" is an exotic blend of too many aromatics to list! Spices, Woods, Dark Chocolates and Black Vanilla make this soap an adventure. Vegan-friendly, "Cacao Spice" is enriched with raw, unrefined, organic cocoa butter for a luxurious experience.

"Magick" is indeed a magical, multi-tasking soap. Creamy organic shea butter bottom topped with a beautiful Red Aussie Clay, this is like getting two bars in one! The scent is enchanting - Blood Orange, Dark Patchouly, French Lavender and Rose Geranium makes "Magick" a light, yet thoroughly pleasing olfactory treat.

Last, but not least, "Rose Hemp Milk" is a soap that Cleopatra would envy! Lovely rosewater-based soap, chock-full of raw, unrefined, organic cocoa butter and organic hemp milk, "Rose Hemp Milk" is kind and beneficial to skin. This soap is offered at a very special low price.

Paris in the Night

Angelic Soap is featured in the Etsy Treasury with our hands-down best French Vanilla Soap called Rococo. Befittingly, it is featured in "Paris in the Night" treasury.
As I consider Paris one of my 'spiritual' homes, I am overjoyed!
Oooh la la!

Find it here: http://fb.me/vUbhvu3r

I attempted for many years to make a French Vanilla that was "just right"...this scented soap nails it. Hints of orange blossom, rich vanilla, chocolate, a little coffee come together in a sweet, seductive milk soap bar loaded with raw, organic cocoa butter.

I may never be able to exactly dupe this gem!

In Love, Truth and Beauty....

Woods Blend

Here is a photo of the new soap, "Woods Blend", a gorgeous, creamy creation scented with vetivert, cedarwood and rosewood essential oils.
Somehow, this soap smells refreshing during this hot weather. I suppose it is only natural to yearn for a shady glade when the temperatures soar into triple digits.....add water = ahhhh...
There is no color in the bottom layer of the soap. The top is colored with light green oxide and there is a cocoa line separating the two layers.
The soap base is my usual olive oil vegetable base, lightened up a bit with rice bran oil for summer and enhanced with hemp oil. This soap is moisturizing, conditioning and soothing to your skin.


"Woods Blend" will be available in the Etsy shop very soon!

In Love, Light and Beauty.....

Straight Up and Sweet

Sweeter-Than-Most Patchouly scents a luxurious vegetable oil-based soap. The soap is scented with nothing but "Dark Patchouly" essential oil, but it smells more sugary than the characteristic fragrance of what is typically anticipated in patchouly.
Patchouly is one of those love it or hate it fragrances, but this patchouly is truly different, appealing to most people - men and women!
This soap is creamy delight for your sun-drenched or over-heated skin. The soothing base features a host of good things, including rice bran and hemp oils.
This surprisingly sweet-smelling soap has some lavender swirls and topping to suit the patchouly vibe. There is also a faint cocoa line in homage to our good friend, Tiggy over at Future Primitive.
A terrific late summer soap soon to be available in our Etsy shop.

In a Woodsy Mood...

Perhaps I am wanting to smell "woodsy" fragrances because it is triple digits where I live. I have been on a soap-making spree with wood and resin scents (which happen to be my life-long fragrance faves).
Listed in the Etsy Shop is "Deep South Summer Soap". This cold process soap is a rice bran oil base scented with heliotrope (swoon), gardenia, magnolia, jasmine and grounded with vetivert. The color comes from French pink clay and emerald mica.
Smells like a warm, romantic, Southern night stroll amidst all of the best of the Southern florals.



With a soap this gorgeous, I could almost stand this southern heat!
More to follow in upcoming posts!

Heat Wave

It is definitely July. 
The morning news is reporting a horrid heat wave for more than 14 states. 
Then there is that tar ball problem affecting the Gulf states.
The news also reports economic woes that all of us had hoped were behind us.
Ugh...
Dear Readers, we have a whole lotta summer still unfolding.
Even though the Etsy sale has officially ended, there are still bargains to be snagged. Angelic Soap Shop on Etsy may be the antidote to all this "Summertime Blues".
I have an idea in my noggin for another batch of soap that I hope to make this week....and posting more photos is on my "to do" list.
Meanwhile, I will leave you with a nice suggestion for a light, yet nourishing and luxurious summer soap - our Lemon Silk Chiffon. This soap is as delightful to look at as well as to use. Topped with calendula (marigold) petals, Lemon Silk Chiffon is a luscious pleasure for your bathing or showering delight.


Stay cool....and use good soap in all those showers!

Deep Summer Soaps


I have been craving the scent of patchouly oil. Perhaps it is because summer is here and it seems to lend a woody, exotic, unmistakable fragrance to the house. Perhaps it is because I have always loved a good patchouly oil. In any event, the stinging critters do not seem to like it and that is A-OK with me!

Above is a loaf of soap that I concocted with patchouly oil - straight up. The soap recipe is lightened for summer with rice bran oil, coconut oil, palm oil, castor oil and (Yes!) hemp oil. 

I used mica for that pale lavender swirled top.


Next, I created  a soap batch entitled "Deep South Summer Soap".  This soap has one of my all-time favorites - vetivert.  Love Love Love Love Love it! 

I was first introduced to vetivert in New Orleans during my adolescence. The word is loosely translated into "root that is dug up". In New Orleans, I was taught that the dried roots are woven into fans, placed in drawers, closets and cupboards for freshening in the humid Louisiana climate.

Many soapmakers and aromatherapists use vetivert oil as an "anchor" (same with patchouly oil). It is deep, dark and resinous - you either love it or hate it. Me? I love mine straight, thank you. I also like it blended.....it  seems rather magickal!

For this Southern Summer batch, I sweetened the scent with touches of heliotrope (swoon), gardenia, magnolia and a smidge of jasmine. The soap recipe is the same as the Patchouly loaf, with the addition of French pink clays......one of my favorite ingredients for skin-friendliness.

These soaps will be ready in approximately four (4) to six (6) weeks.

May your June be sweetly scented and fragrant with possibility.....summer is just around the corner.

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

Here is a sexy, soapy tune.....

I am thinking of making this classic song our theme song....what do you think?  It is a tad naughty...


Listen at your own risk (and have plenty of soap for that shared shower!!!).....

Teddy Pendergrass, R.I.P., but Baby, that song will live forever!

As spring will soon turn to summer....

We find ourselves in Gemini's natal position.
Gemini - the trickbag of the signs - the sign of the twins - mutable (read: fluent communication & flexible), air (read: mental realm), masculine (read: not receptive like the feminine energy). This sign thinks it is Peter Pan guiding us into perpetual summer.
Do not get me wrong - I have a fair amount of Gemini in my chart - but boy! These folks change their minds like the wind (air)..and their moods, and their phone numbers, residences, their looks and their partners - better yet - they like multiples of everything.
They are perpetually and eternally youthful. Not a bad thing, eh?
Perhaps the most mentally agile of all signs, they can also drive a more fixed sign (like Taurus) absolutely nuts.
Geminis are the Jabberwockys of the zodiac. They are all Grade A, world class talkers...and the sweet darlings simply need someone (ok, many people) to listen. 
They have all manner of communication devices, toys, books, stuff to keep them plugged in.
Johnny Depp is a Gemini. 'Nuff said there....
Bob Dylan. A word genius. No doubt.
Helena Bonham Carter who drove Tim Burton, a Virgo, so mad, as to buy a separate flat in the same building! Best relationship ever!!! Still going strong!
Let's not forget Naomi Campbell conking folks over the noggin with her cell phone (how appropriate).
Walt Whitman "I Sing The Body Electric". Wow.
Judy Garland. At once evoking sympathy and admiration.
Marilyn Monroe - who studied at the Actors Guild and was a serious student of Russian! Hey - look who she married!  She was one smart cookie! That 'Girl" never has gotten enough credit for her intellect due to her sex bomb image. I seriously doubt that Arthur Miller married a dummy!
So many more....the list goes on and on.
A bit of mad genius, a lot of the child, a command of the language, charm, wit - is it any wonder these Twins get a bad rap when they pitch one of their out-of-the-blue tantrums?
That air can turn into a tornado with no apparent reason. The Gemini does not understand him/herself. How can we mere mortals understand them?
Ruled by Mercury, they are all razor sharp. Be careful. That tongue is sharp too!
The poor things also fret, are nervous wrecks and they worry so well they should get paid for it.
Try a little tenderness....let them talk, talk, talk, talk.....and get them to calm down by plunking them in a car and driving them around new and quirky neighborhoods.
Geminis love to know all of the local shopkeepers. They like to frequent their haunts, but throw something in that is new and fresh just to keep them on their toes (and out of depression).
If they do go into the doldrums, refresh their memory of a childhood ritual. This calms them down and gives them a point of reference in the turbulent skies of their mind.
Motion is key. Does the body follow the mind or the mind follows the body?
No matter...just be certain their rooms are piling over with their books, papers, magazines, astronomy instruments, gadgets, "stuff". If you cannot stand to look at the mess, shut the door. Trust me - they keep an account of all their treasures. Mess or not.
If you want to get rid of them, bore them to tears with your own problems. They will be gone faster than you can count to 11.
Ha!
But why would you want to run them off after they so often turn on that considerable charm and fill you with the sense of wonderment that you have not felt since you were a kid ?
So, if you want to gift them, here are some perfect soaps for your Gemini peeps....

Gardener's Soap with Calming Lemon Balm

 
Confetti



Confetti has soothing, calming and soporific lavender (so does our "French Breeze", another great choice), plus Confetti  is a carnival of amusement to gaze upon. Got to keep those minds busy!
Yellow is the color of Gemini, so a citrus may be in order. Our "Lemon Silk Chiffon" will do the trick. "Grapefruit" and "Yuzu Bundles" will work too!
If all else fails, you might consider spontaneously flying a kite with your Gemini. Loosen up. Go to a zoo, a carnival, an ice cream stand, a Disney movie. See a silly movie. Have FUN.
This business of being an adult day in and day out is not all it is cracked up to be!
With so much Pleasure, Joy and Beauty......

PS You can find these soaps at our Etsy shop, but beware, a Gemini does not really want to calm down!

New Harmony Soaps

I just finished a custom order that I shipped off to New Harmony, Indiana today. These soaps will soon make an appearance at The Atheneum, the Richard Meier building that overlooks the Wabash River.

First up - "Gardener's Bar"...  light scent of lemon balm and lemon geranium, cornmeal for exfoliation and lovely to look at...


"Red Geranium" ... named after the famous Inn and Restaurant in New Harmony. This soap is scented with a light geranium essential oil and gets the fab color from Aussie Red Clay, French Green Clay and natural chlorophyll.


Next up - "Wabash River Valley"... light mints and citronella scent this gorgeous landscape soap.


"Beeswax and Honey" - the classic!


"Harmony Butter Cream" .... rich, unscented and uncolored bar of luxurious unrefined cocoa butter and coconut cream.




Last, but not least, an homage to my favorite watering hole - "The Yellow",  named after the local tavern.  The soap is lightly scented with citrus, sprinkled with lemon peel.


I am so happy with the way these chunky soaps turned out! Most weigh 8 ounces!!! 

These lovelies are available only through the New Harmony Gift Shop at the Atheneum Visitor's Center in New Harmony, Indiana....or, Utopia, as it is called...

In Love, Truth and Beauty...
