This is the final day of our Foot Maintenance Week. I have had so much fun taking care of my feet this week. I don’t want it to end, and it doesn’t have to! When I was trying to come up with ideas for this series, I had a hard […]
I have a dream of someday installing a full body soaking tub in my bathroom. There’s nothing quite so relaxing as soaking in hot, scented water clear up to your neck, especially when you have a good book to enjoy. February 9 is Read in the Bathtub Day. What a […]
Read in the Bathtub Day
This little piggy went to the market, this little piggy stayed home, this little piggy had dry feet and cried all the way home. Today’s recipe is for a foot butter that will keep your little piggies as happy as can be. I chose to use our Body Butter Base […]
Foot Maintenance Week – Keeping Those Little Piggies Moisturized
Today we have another great recipe to keep your feet happy and healthy. You want to know one of the things I dislike most in this world? When my feet become so dry that they snag on my sheets! When I have gotten to the point of scraggly feet, I […]
Foot Maintenance Week – Rub-a-dub Scrub in the Tub
Today is Chopstick Day, and I had to interrupt Katy’s Foot Maintenance Week with this fun soap. After all, what else would a soaper do with chopsticks but make swirled soap? Part of my inspiration for this soap came from the discovery of my old wooden slab mold when I […]
Chopstick Day Swirled Soap
Hello everybody, and welcome to Day 2 of Foot Maintenance Week! Today’s recipe is a quick and easy Stinky Foot Spray. In yesterday’s blog, I discussed the three essential oils that will be in each recipe this week: Tea Tree, Peppermint, and Rosemary. They are a perfect trio for stinky […]
Foot Maintenance Week – Spray the Stink Away!
This week is dedicated to feet! The cold, winter months are still hanging around, and despite being indoors, we can find ourselves on our feet all day. Nothing feels better than tearing off those dirty socks and kicking up your feet! I am going to share some recipes this week […]
Foot Maintenance Week – Lets start soaking!
You gotta love a day dedicated to cake! In our February creative prompts (on the back page of our newsletter, which is sent out with all orders), February 3 is Carrot Cake Day. Why not bake a carrot cake? Yesterday I juiced carrots to make carrot juice soap for Marmot […]
Carrot Cake Day is February 3
February 2 is Marmot Day. You thought it was Groundhog Day? Well, it is! Groundhogs are just one of 14 species of marmot. And what do marmots have to do with soap? Follow me for a minute. Marmots are usually vegetarians. And on a day to recognize a vegetarian animal, […]
Marmot Day Soap
Don’t panic! No one has to disrobe! (Whew! It’s kinda cold for that nonsense in Alaska in February!) Instead, let’s work on making naked products. My idea for today is to leave out extras like scents and colors while we just focus on skin-loving goodness in soap and lotion. Before […]
It’s Working Naked Day! (With Two Easy & Luxurious Recipes)
In November, we started doing something fun, but if you have not placed an order since then, you don’t know about it. We have revived our monthly newsletter, and we are sending a copy with every order that leaves our warehouse. The fun comes with a list of creative prompts […]
Get Creative in February
I’ve had lots of fun making all of the comparison recipes with Shea Butter and Sal Butter. My last project for this series was to make soap. Since my normal soap recipe contains multiple luxury oils, I went back to the basics and used our 6-5-4-1 recipe guide. This recipe […]
