Thoughts from The Sage

Okay, so did you know that today has not one but two holidays? Yep! Can I make a horrible pun and call it twoday? Hahaha! Alright bad jokes aside, I am thrilled to share both of these holidays. Columbus Day and Thanksgiving are important for Americans and Canadians, respectively. So […]

Here at The Sage we are lucky enough to have a garden at the office. When we have extra time we all chip in and pull weeds and water plants. Right now we are being overwhelmed with zucchini. We only have two plants out there, which may not seem like […]

Ack! I can not believe it is Labor Day already! I feel like the year has just slipped by me. How does that even happen? Before you go off to conquer your day, I have just a few announcements I would like to make. We are closed today. We will […]

Egads! It’s September and I’m thrilled to share the products for our September Doggy Dozen Program. This list was inspired by soap.

Our technical support team was recently asked a question about perfumes. The asker wants to know if she can use our fragrance oils straight from the bottle as a perfume. The answer is NO! Each of our fragrance oils is very concentrated. We want people to dilute the fragrance oil […]

Have you ever wished you could clearly explain what you see? Sometimes when I am in a class and demonstrating I will explain there are fine differences from one phase to the next while making soap. It can be quite difficult to see these minor changes while one is still […]

Okay, some days can seem to start out great then flip topsy turvey, leaving me feeling stressed, sad or even melancholy. Those are the days where I just want to go home, pull the covers over my heads and wait for things to get better. While it certainly sounds good, […]
