I'm a thirty-something soap snob. I've grown up with handmade soaps, and I love them! I really like making lotions, soaps, and perfumes. I adore mixing scents to come up with something new. My favorite scent is either Wicked or Cotton Candy. I tend to hoard fragrances, I even have an Earl Grey Tea from the MMS catalog. I won't tell you how old it is, but it sure is good!
As the first day of 2020 draws to a close, I’m already anticipating all the cool things that I can see coming down the road this year! I’ve had to laugh as I tell people that this year will be one where my vision will be perfect, but that’s only […]
We’ve had a operations hiccup today and several of our staff members will not be available by phone. Please be patient with us as our limited staff tries to continue processing orders.
Ok. I’ve been holding off on the fun Halloween projects, but I can’t wait any longer! I saw spider loofas when I was surfing the internet one day, but I couldn’t find any instructions or a credible source. Grab the kids, and let’s have some fun! So here are my […]
Last week, I took a Technical Support phone call from a gal who wanted to know how much color she needed to use to get a lipstick instead of a lip balm or a lip tint. She said, “You always mention Q.S. on your blog for lip tints like the […]
I love lotion bars for several reasons. One of my top reasons is that I can easily pop a lotion bar into my luggage and fly anywhere without needing to put it in my liquids bag! Anything to limit my interactions with TSA is always good in my book. (TSA […]
It’s been a while since I’ve shared anything related to fragrance blending and I’ll admit that I haven’t made time to play around with the fragrances in our blog kitchen! I’m embarrassed to admit that I recently ran out of body cream and I was in desperate need for a […]
It’s Tuesday, and I have a treat for you! One of our newest products is Tangerine Lip Solutions, and I have to admit that I fell in love with this delicious Lip Solutions when it was being formulated. Here are 5 reasons why I love our newest Lip Solutions and […]
I had a recent cooking experiment at home that needed part of a bottle of red wine. While I was cooking, I thought that it would be fun to turn the leftover wine into soap. As you can imagine, I got a little razzing when I showed up at work […]
Spring is here, and the dandelions are blooming like crazy! The bright color of the dandelions inspired me to make a batch of soap with a dandelion “tea” as my liquid. While herbal teas may not seem to be particularly adventurous for soapmaking, I’ve found them to add a little […]
Mother’s Day is this coming Sunday, and I’ve been worrying about finding a gift! Since I was freaking out so much and my mind was running a blank, I decided that I’d get her a gift certificate to use at her favorite shop. (Mom, if you are reading this, please […]
I’m looking forward to our company-wide Spring Break that starts tomorrow! I have a home spa day scheduled, and I decided that I wanted to sneak into the blog kitchen to make a batch of Foaming Bath Salts before I left. As I was whipping up this super easy batch, […]
I have an announcement about a change in our schedule so you can plan your future orders! We’re going to give our hard-working crew a chance to have their own spring break! We will be closed on Thursday, April 25th and Friday, April 26th to enjoy a company-wide break. All […]
