Well, we’ve been back from the coast trip for over a week, and I still haven’t gotten the new tarts on the site!  I’ve been trying to deal with a shopping cart malfunction.  Well, I don’t think the cart is malfunctioning really, I just jumped the gun and updated WP, but I don’t think my cart was ready for it.  Too much geek work for me, I would rather play with soap.

The soaps have been a huge success and taking up a lot of my time. After setting aside an extra or two of the bars that I personally cannot live without (GM & Clay, Peppermint Luffa) I’m nearly sold out of all of the first batches!  I can’t keep my oils and butters stocked around here, I’m forever waiting for an order or something or other to arrive.

The next batch that is almost ready is a lovely bright and colorful hibiscus, lemon, and sweet orange. I tested it out today and the lather was so fluffy and thick, I think it’s going to be a fun bar o’ soap. Also coming soon… a chocolate lover’s dream, a bar with tons of unrefined cocoa butter and real cocoa powder to give it a chocolatey swirl. YUM.  We’ll just pretend that every mad scientist batch of soap is coming out perfectly without any issues like gooey congealed half-soap that bleeds blueberry juice out of unauthorized crevices.  IDKWYATA.

I delivered my first soaps to Ash Way Pet today! If you are in the neighborhood, stop on by and check them out! I was working really hard on a graphic for the dog shampoo bars, but couldn’t achieve what I was envisioning, so I have enlisted the help of a stellar graphic artist, and I can’t wait to see what comes of that.

In case you were ever wondering where my company name came from….

"Oh, are we taking photos?"

I get a lot of help with every aspect of the business, especially product photos.
