Busy,

On soap cutting day I was trying to work fast to get the soap cut and on the drying racks. I had orders that needed packed and mailed. Scheduled pick up was at 10am. I have a one track mind. Soap was my only thought!

My nine yr old came in and was so excited. She had seen something beautiful outside and needed my phone for pictures. She took it and came back so happy. I had to sit with her for a minute to comment on the pictures. She is very good (too good? ;) ) at stopping to smell the roses.

Something I can really skip doing. I am thankful for children that teach me. Patience and slowing down.
And you know... All the soap was taken care of and soap was mailed on time. ;)

Cedarwood Soaps!

    I cant access my pictures at the moment. But Have to announce our soaps! They will be available on Monday Jan. 30th. These will be our January and February soaps. We just got our supplies later than we wanted to so they are both coming at the same time. Look for another scent in March!

   We have a Cedarwood and our DLM Shaving soap (which is lightly scented with Cedarwood) 
  
    I was sure Cedarwood was a very manly only scent. But now that I have made the soap I 
really like it! Mmmm! I would not have thought to buy it myself. But it was a suggested scent by a customer so I tried it.  It is one that will be here to stay for sure! So yummy!

    The shaving soap feels extra smooth and silky! I cant wait to try it out! Wish I had a shaving brush to play with!  I love the color the (bentonite) clay gave the soap too.

DLM Shaving soap preview...

Our DLM Shaving Soap fresh made!Named after a dear friend that uses a straight razor and taught us how to make a great shaving soap.

It is lightly scented with Cedarwood Essential oil.

Similar to our other soaps but with added Castor oil (rich foamy lather)

Bentonite (a light green clay, it is highly absorbent and good for oily skin. It gives a slippery silkiness.)

and additional glycerine (for moisturizing)

We are hoping to add in more scents in this line as the yr goes on. This soap will be available soon!

Soap cutting day...

This is my favorite thing! I can look back and see what we have done. I think they are beautiful. Yesterday we made this Peppermint, some Tea Tree, Plain, Cinnamon, and Patchouli. I am half through cutting and putting them to dry on the drying shelves. We make our soap in 90 bar batches.
   Tomorrow we have plans to make this amount again.  We are making a Shaving Soap this week too. I am really excited about it! It is different than what I have done in the past. I hope it is as great as I want it to be!
