My Favorites

My personal favorites are Lavender Rose, Vanilla Rose, Calla Lily, Apple Blossoms, Cotton Pickin, Decadence, Deep Blue Sea, Gardenia, Honeysuckle, Midnight Cowboy for him, Pear, Sakura, and Sunrise.  My favorites can and do change depending on my whims:)  These are not all the biggest sellers, however!  Everyone has their own personal favorites, obviously.

New Look to Packaging Soon

Since we had a computer crash a few weeks ago, I keep finding out that I lost a few key files.  Some of them have involved labels for soap.  So, I decided that if I am going to recreate labels, I could also go for a new look, which I’ve done a few times over the past few years.  As my business has evolved, so have the feelings that are generated from the labels.  I have tried, as everyone does, to capture the essence of my soap in a label.

Soap Making at its Finest

As one cartoon character says, “the secret ingredient is love”.  I have found (this is really true!) that when I make soap just to be making soap, it is nothing special.  It becomes a mass produced, carbon copy soap batch just like all the others.  When I make soap and put my entire being into it and focus on all aspects, which for me, includes my spirituality and communion with God, the environment and nature, that soap tends to be so much better.  It takes on a life of its own.  It really is true though.  So, now the thing is, which soap has the secret ingredient and which one doesn’t?  Huh?

Old Sayings

Those old sayings that have been around forever take on new meaning when they become relevant, such as “when it rains, it pours” or “what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger” (it’s goes something like that).  Yes, well, this has been one of the most memorable weeks I can remember.  And it all culminated with my birthday, which slid easily by amidst all the craziness.  Bug bites of unknown origin, computer crashes,  scouts, school, moving days, and hot flashes.  Fortunately, God blessed me with soap and that keeps me sane when the entire world seems to have grown crazy.  Looking at the pandemic flu signs up at school didn’t help either.
