Hello Friends,

Spring! Bright, happy, blossom-y, spring! After a long, gloomy, winter, the sun comes out and brightens our hearts, warms our bones, and revives our souls. Spring is literally and metaphorically new beginnings, fresh starts, a lifting of spirits, blossoming, love, and flowers.

No matter how bleak the world may look in winter, the deep roots know that spring is not far away. Birds, too, are preparing to travel, right on cue. The entire orchestra of blooms and buds, grass, trees, birds, and bees, are all tuning up, ready to herald the symphony of spring.

Our hearts know that the cycles of the year, just like the tides of the sea, and the flow of the universe are eternal. We can always count on the ups after the downs. The trick is to make the most of wherever you are and enjoy the ride.

NEW - SPRING SEASONAL SOAPS

Spring fragrances are naturally light and fresh. Frolicking in the new grass, dancing playfully in the blooming garden, this season’s calling card is clean and pure, soft, sweet and pretty. These new scents are limited in production and available February thru April. ($ 5.00 each)

CHAMOMILE LEMON - This is equal parts zesty, sunny, lemon and herbal chamomile flowers. If you’re familiar with chamomile tea, then you know the delicate scent of those dainty flowers, known for their soothing and calming benefits. Chamomile is revered for its ability to induce calm, peace and well-being for your spirit, as well as calming and soothing inflammation in skin. The bright citrus is the perfect partner for an early spring day, lifting moods and energizing souls. *This is a repeat from last year by overwhelming request.

PINK PEONY – I’m not a “flower” type gal. So to say that this is the most beautiful floral scent I’ve smelled in possibly forever – that’s something. It’s modern not perfume-y. It’s fresh not cloying. The official description mentions crazy things like cassis, dandelion greens, honey, as well as peony petals, which means that it’s carefully blended to be the most sparkling, elegant version of a peony bouquet that your imagination can come up with. All the freshness straight from the garden or flower shop – the dewy green leaves, the nectar of a fresh-cut stem, the lush sweet blossoms – it’s mesmerizing and elegant, and you’ll want to luxuriate in it every day this spring. *This is a repeat from last year by overwhelming request.

GARDENIA –Gardenia blossoms are pure heaven. Sultry and exotic, these velvet soft flowers unfurl with an intoxicating perfume of romance and elegance. Similar to jasmine and tuberose, gardenia is one of the most popular floral scents, used in many perfume blends and a favorite at weddings. I have a small bush just outside my office door that always stops me in my tracks when a new bud begins to open. This soap scent is true, fresh gardenia blossom, straight from the garden on a warm, lush, summer evening.

WINTER BLOWOUT SALE

Every January I have a studio clear-out sale but this year we moved it to February and it’s happening now. Instead of just selling the paltry bits of leftover winter soaps, I made fresh batches of all kinds of previous seasonal soaps using up the odds, ends, and leftover fragrances I had lying around. So many choices - including the Winter Solstice scent which was so popular during the holidays that I couldn’t keep it in stock. If you missed this one, or just need to hoard a little pile, don’t wait. Coconut Almond, Strawberry, Ocean Mist, Cucumber Mint, Baby Love, and more - these are an amazing deal at just $3.50/bar.

TREAT YOUR SWEETIE

If you’ve got a special someone on your mind for Valentine’s Day . . . or any other spring occasion, like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, or just making it through the week – we’ve got a gift to make the celebration perfect. Who doesn’t love a little something that smells good, feels good, and they can use every day? Charming little sets with bars of soap paired with dishes, brushes or scrubby mitts. We also have larger combination of treats with a little of everything.

Or why not show them you love them over and over – all year long. Gift them a Sudscription, our soap of the month club. They will receive 2 bars of fresh and seasonal soap at the beginning of every month – 3 months, 6 months, or a full year. It’s an everyday reminder that you want to pamper them, care for them, keep them healthy, safe, soft and lovely.

Wishing you a happy, hopeful spring! May the sun shine warmer and brighter wherever you are.
