It's the most WONDERFUL time of the year~

This is our favorite time of the year for soaping! With the cool weather upon us, there is something even more satisfying about stocking the curing racks, than at any other time of the year. Maybe it is the special mouth watering scents that tend to come with the cold weather months (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, vanilla, mint, baked apples, pumpkin pie.......). Sorry, I lost focus there for a moment.... now wiping away drool. =) We tend to thrive on a little bit of chaos around here, so maybe it is the mad rush of Holiday orders and the fun that we have during our late night soapathons trying keep up. Maybe it is the burst of creativity and inspiration that all of this excitement brings to us. Whatever the reason...... the time is now and we are totally LOVING every minute of it!
Ok... have to get back to work! ;)

Suds Soap Log ~ Candy Land

Soap logs can be so much fun! Everytime I unmold a log of

Candy Land, I think to myself, "I have to get a picture of this!!"

Well, this morning I finally did.......... :-) This one has me drooling!

SUDS SOAP DISPLAY

This past weekend we had such a great time at our SUDS show! We met so many nice people and had a lot of laughs. It seems that the world is full of scent junkies......it is good to know that we aren't alone! We'd like to welcome of all of our newbie SUDS addicts to the greatest addiction in the world. :-)

DETOX FOR HIM - Detoxifying soap bar for men

This SUDS special recipe includes active charcoal and bentonite clay, making Detox For Him a superb facial bar for men. The charcoal and the clay both work to gently draw out impurities from pores while the nutrient rich oils (including Olive, Safflower, and Shea butter) create a fresh, natural and moisturizing bar. Detox for him is fragrance free and a must have for every man who cares about his complexion!

Who says that cold process soap can't be bright and colorful?

Time and time again, we hear people say that they like melt and pour soap because it is fun and colorful. While the bright and colorful soap that you see, many times is melt and pour soap base, it is also often filled with undesirable ingredients, such as surfactants. Because melt and pour can be made with very little time and effort, it is a commonly found "handmade soap" on the market. The process of making melt and pour is quite simple. Just melt down the commercial soap base, add your color and fragrance, pour in your mold..... voila! Cold process soap from scratch, on the other hand, takes a month to ready and a great deal of skill and knowledge regarding the various ingredients involved.

The overall consensus is that soap from scratch looks plain and boring. Well, the truth is that, many times, it is. However, we have worked really hard to go against the grain on this one. We do make our soap from scratch and we do make it bright, colorful and fun. You can have the best of both worlds.

White Tea & Ginger Me

Happy Independence Day..... God Bless America!



I hope that everyone has a safe and happy holiday. We had planned to get together with extended family tonight and enjoy some crazy fireworks, courtesy of my fun-loving uncles. Unfortunately, our lil guy isn't feeling well, so we are going to have to miss out on the big event. I am pretty disappointed, because we all really enjoy it when everyone gets together.

Ok, I know that it isn't exactly fireworks, but I do have a little eye candy for you...... Get your minds out of the gutter! :-) I poured White Tea & Ginger Me yesterday and I just got them all cut. I really like the way these turned out. I love the natural, woodland look of the green swirls, and the smell is AMAZING!!! I already know that this is going to be one of my all time favorites.

I would like you all to meet The Rock Star Suds Bar

This smells awesome!!! It reminds me of hubby.... all dressed up for a night on the town!
