Easter Soap

 This is a little different, it's a bunny soap like the Murray Soap, I used a "soap shaper" to make the soap, here's what it looks like 

You can use either end to achieve the desired results. Here it is with the "ears" facing downward.

And at last, the finished product! They will be available this week. Some have a shorter face than others, you can tell they are handmade! 

Easter in on April 4th this year. Will be listed in the Etsy shop soon too! 

Valentines Day

 I always like to do a little something for Valentines Day. This year, in addition to the two limited Edition Soaps ( Black Cherry Tobacco and Jasmine Honeysuckle ) I made up some soap cupcakes! My first time at piping, there's a learning curve for sure, gives me a whole new respect for folks that do cake decorating! 

Here's a batch of Sundance ( Orange/ Tangerine/Grapefruit )

Here's what they look like all packaged up.

These are the plastic cups we used to package the Soap Cupcakes in, they are a special kind of plastic that's recyclable!  We try so hard to not use any more plastic than we have to, in fact that's why we changed the packaging on the lip butters and Lotion Bars to Zero waste! 

We will have the cupcakes available for you this weekend at the #PinoleFarmersMarket on Saturday as well as the #MartinezFarmersMarket on Sunday. See you then! 

Coming soon

 As always, the new kids will be on probation until we see how popular they are ( or not! ) lol. I was thinking that these two new scents will be amazing, since I know you guys love the matching bars. 

If you've never tried Loofa bars, let me tell you, they are amazing for your skin, all of them are made with a one inch slice of Loofa embedded into a comfortable to hold bar of Goat Milk Soap, to which we have added skin loving Cocoa Butter! 

By the way, loofa ( Loofah, Luffa ) grows on a vine, it's NOT a sea creature! We wouldn't do that! 

These have about another week, then you will see them online and at the Pinole, Martinez and Concord Farmers Markets! 

Valentines Day

 It's always fun to come up with some new goodies for you guys for Valentines Day,  this is what's coming for this year:

Red Clover Tea Soap Cupcake

Sundance Soap Cupcake. 

I've discovered piping is fun but there's definitely a learning curve. Makes me respect cake decorators even more! 

This soap, Black Cherry Tobacco was suggested by a customer, I think you'll like it. 

And last but not least, Jasmine Honeysuckle, with a pretty swirl of color. I was trying to keep the color palette to a vintage fabric, that was the inspiration anyhow! 

So everything is curing, waiting for their turn! 

 Impression Mats

I love the look of impression mats. they make such a gorgeous top on most of my soap. I just got a new mat the other day and just got to play with it for the first time, what do you think? 

This batch is Black Tea and Rose, it will be torture waiting for it to cure!
