Life, Liberty, Happiness - and FREE SHIPPING

Hola soap family!

Did you make it through the history making heatwave this week in the PNW? Or are you somewhere else where those temperatures are just another summer day? Life is heating up no matter where you live. And if you're too hot and frazzled to read another word, just scroll down to the bottom for the FREE SHIPPING coupon code to use this weekend.

Hot summer days require cool showers, maybe several. And cold showers go better with cool soap. Refreshing, tingly, chill soaps like the ones we just rolled out in our Summer Seasonal Menu. Turn the tap on full cold and lather off the sweaty stinkies with Beach House, Dew Drop, Green Tea & Cucumber, or go traditional soap clean with Cotton Blossom.

WHERE ARE MY "NO SCENT" PEOPLE?!

Are you sensitive to scents? Looking for a soap that has very little or no scent at all? I've got a couple of extra soaps for you this month. My mistake is your bonus! These newest bars are offered at the sale price of only $4 each.

Lured, once again, by the temptation of making a really zesty citrus soap, I made an experimental batch of White Citrus - a new fragrance that promised the world.

Well, it came out just like all the others - with just the lightest touch of lemon grapefruit scent that you have to try really hard to sniff out of the bar. Citrus oils just do not stick in the soap making process. At least for me and my ten thousand different attempts to make it a thing. If you like very soft scents, or barely there fragrances, this one is lovely.

Also, Swiss Cheese Brain is alive and well here at the studio. In the middle of making a batch of Beach House soap, I lost focus and forgot to put in the scent at the last minute. So this is a gorgeous blue colored soap with absolutely no scent at all in it. Just plain soap. Are you a fragrance free person? Or know someone who needs some really good, no scent soap? that just happens to be blue? Here it is - Plain (Blue) Jane Soap.

NEW GIFT IDEAS - BURLAP TOTES STUFFED WITH TREATS

As I always say, soap is the perfect gift. A nurturing, pampering treat that says I care about you and think you deserve the very best every day, even during the most mundane moments like washing your hands. So I'm constantly trying to put together unique and special combos of soaps, sprays, bath salts, and accessories to make the perfect gift. I've added a few more to the menu this month. Both of them are burlap tote-style bags that hold a number of items. Just more ways to choose the perfect something for your friends and family. I am delighted to customize, add on, substitute whatever you heart desires too. Do not hesitate to ask!
