It’s been quite a process to finally have names for the new girls and guys Valentines soaps! But what a fun contest! I asked for name suggestions with a pirate theme, and received some really excellent choices. After narrowing down those choices to just five sets of names, I had 128 people vote for their [...]
Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who submitted pirate theme names for the girls and guys Valentines soaps. What a wonderful resource you are! Of course, all these great suggestions made it extremely difficult to narrow down the choices…especially since I wanted to make sure the names for both soaps would go together. Some of [...]

Every once in awhile I come up with a great scent blend for a soap, but then I don’t know what to call it. As you can see, the soap turned out beautifully – all natural soap made with fresh goat’s milk, Australian red reef clay, rosehip powder, and cocoa powder. It is scented with [...]
Due to the overwhelming response to the call for volunteers to test the solid sugar scrub, I decided to “call an audible” as they say and close down the survey early. With 77 responses, I was able to get a pretty clear pattern from the questions that were asked. As you can see, more than [...]
Remember the sugar scrub cubes I posted about yesterday? Well, I’ve made up a couple batches for some willing guinea pigs…er…volunteers to try. If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out the following survey, and I will choose 12 people to participate. Even if you don’t want to try the sugar scrub cubes, you [...]
