New Products

I had so much fun making these new products I had to share them with you. I love it when I get to be creative with my soaps. It takes a lot more time but it is so much fun that it's worth the extra effort. Check it out.
This is a batch of watermelon soap that smells just like a juicy, ripe watermelon. My kids say that it smells like a jolly rancher candy. I had to make 3 separate batches of soap to achieve the look of the rind and seeds but it was well worth it. On some of the bars my "rind" wasn't set up as well as I thought so it moved a bit on me but the over-all effect is still great.


While this Lavender & Mint soap isn't a new fragrance for me it is one of my favorites and it turned out perfect this time.

This is a new fragrance for my line, Grapefruit. I swear it smells so good I wanted to drink the fragrance right out of the bottle. This was 3 separate batches to achive this effect but I think it looks really cool.


I am calling this one Girly Girl Soap to go along with my Manly Man Soap. It is a fragrance "type" of Philosophy's Amazing Grace. What a scent! I am in love with it! I colored it with a pink and purple swirl effect that makes it look as ultra feminine as it smells.


Last but not least, Lavender & Mint Lip Balm. We have Lavender Festival coming up really soon in Sequim. It is pretty big festival with farm tours and a big street fair. Our farmers market is open during it and we get a lot of the overflow foot traffic. I was brainstorming on something new I could make when I thought about Lavender Lip balm. Believe me, at the festival you find a lot stranger things that this. Lavender is actually a very nice tasting flavor but I thought since I love my Lavender & Mint Soap so much, why not a Lavender & Mint Lip Balm. I tried it, I liked it!
