Whipped soaps are coming soon!

I just tried my hand at Whipped soaps for the first time, and i absolutely love them! Just wanted to give you all a sneak peak of some products that are coming very soon to my etsy shop!

These are made similar to Cold Process soaps, however they're made at room temperature by whipping up solid oils and butters together, then adding the lye water.
This makes the soap a really cool whipped consistency and it can float in water because it's light and fluffy! These are great for children so they don't lose the soap in the tub, and i plan on making tons of wonderful fruity scents that most anyone is sure to enjoy. :D

Getting in the Halloween Spirit.

I want to start this post off with this adorably sassy skirt by ZombieKittenO . This particular skirt features a spooked out kitty on a very flattering retro style pencil skirt. They also offer many different styles with bats, a coffin, and others! Only $65 plus shipping.

Isn't that creepy? It's a necklace made from vinyl! It was created by VonErickson and is available for only $15! Make a statement, or add the perfect touch to your spooky undead Halloween costume!
I will definitely admit that i really admire these necklaces! There are blood drippy necklaces as well! So creative and wonderful.

Not into dressing up? Why not celebrate in your own way at home, with some delicious Candy Corn Sugar Scrub Cubes! Take a long bath and relax with these (and hide them from the kids, they smell like candy!) There are available at HeathensHearth on etsy for $9 plus shipping.

Brand New Soaps, Lip Balms @ Lathersbylinds

Introducing my newest product, ALL VEGAN lip balms made with Hemp oil and Vitamin E to keep you lips smooth and moist. Available in my shop: Cherry Hemp lip balm or Raspberry Hemp lip balm!!



A new favorite scent has arrived! Strawberry Kiwi Sorbet. It's very sweet, fruity, and delicious!


This is my Lavender Fields bar made with my wonderfully moisturizing hemp formula! It also contains apricot seed to light exfoliation.


Citrus Cilantro is also another new favorite that i am now offering in my shop! Very crisp, like orange citrus and fresh chopped cilantro. I LOVE waking up to this scent in the morning, it's a lovely smell to really open your eyes. This one has a light green layer with apricot seed for light exfoliation.

Last, but absolutely not least if my SPOOKY PUMPKIN soap, made in a lovely pumpkin and spice scent and the wonderful moisturizing hemp recipe (one of my signatures!). It features a beautiful black swirl in a lovely orange bar. Perfect to put you and your kids in the Halloween spirit, in or out of the shower!

New soaps in the works!

I finally recieved my monsterous new supply order!! 16 new fragrances, veggie oils, flavor oils for chapsticks, seeds, herbs, and soap colors! Tons of new exciting things that i've been dying to get. :D
The day I got the box from UPS, I went through, sniffed everything, and got straight to soap making. Yesterday I made the soap you see above, scented Strawberry Kiwi Sorbet with 2 kinds of seeds, cranberry and apricot seed that has been crushed. It smells absolutely amazing! It is made with one of my favorite soap recipes using soybean oil!!

I also made another bar, scented with the fragrance "Citrus Cilantro". It's an amazingly crisp and refreshing scent, that smells like crushed oranges lemons and lots and lots of fresh chopped Cilantro! This was made at the request of a coworker, who always comes over to sniff the freshly chopped herb while I'm making foods in the morning. She's been asking about it for awhile and I finally found a scent that I really find to be perfect. It's sooo invigorating, I really love the blend!

Today, John asked me to make soap! So I took him into the kitchen and spent time telling him what each oil does, what I do with each ingredient, etc. We came up with a lovely fragrance blend together, then picked a wonderfully creamy and soft recipe to make. He measured out all the oils and water, mixed up the ingredients, and even poured the lye into the oils. He did a great job and I barely yelled at him at all! ;) Just kidding, he was great. The soap fragrance is an amazing blend of Strawberry, Cherry, Almond, and Hazelnut Cappiccino. It's so tasty, it smells like an amazing drink from a coffee house!

I also wanted to give you guys a quick peak at my brand new packaging!! The picture below is a shot of my last bar of Bergamot Orange (which was insanely popular at Hempfest! Almost sold out.) all wrapped up in the new stuff! The tissue paper is 100% recycled materials, and the raffia is recyclable paper! YAY!
The tags also have all my business info so that it's easy to reorder those bars you know you love ;)

Hope you guys are having a great Friday, and hope you all enjoy your weekend!

I'll take you to the Candy Shoppe ;)

Okay so this is definately something i never thought i'd end up buying online but turned out to love: SWEETS!
I'm 100% addicted to buying sweets and candies on etsy, and i basically do every time i have the excuse.

The first sweets i've ever purchased from etsy were the Dulce de leche vanilla marshmallows from VINTAGECONFECTION (pictured up top.). They're soo tasty, it was my first homemade marshemallow and it was to die for. The swirl in the mallow is my favorite part, soo sweet. These are amazing in hot cocoa, and big enough that you can definately cut them up for smaller pieces!

The next thing I purchased (and adoooored!!) were some delicious Gourmet Cake Truffles from BlissCandies for my 1 year anniversary with John. I ordered them in Carrot Cake with milk chocolate to dipp them in. SO GOOD! John absolutely loved these and gobbled them up so quickly. He definately wants more, that is for sure. We might need to buy the package of 48 next time!

Next on my list to try is Pumpkin Chocolate Truffles from Janeofalltrades. Don't those look amazing?! they sound like a very interesting flavor as well. :D

Do you have a favorite treat from a seller on etsy?! Leave some suggestions that you've tried or would love to try from your favorite etsy users. :D

A Huge Success!

Home from hempfest, and everything was amazing!!I sold out of a ton of scents, and gave out a lot of cards.

I'll be back and fully stocked, better than ever in september! Currently selling out my old scents on etsy. :) Get them while they last.

My First Vendor Event: Seattle Hempfest!

Every year, hundreds (thousands maybe?!) show up in Seattle at Myrtle-Edwards park to support a cause they believe very strongly about. Not only is it a protest, but it's equally a festivial (refered to as a Protestival) and celebration. Everyone is excited to see the speakers, bands, and political figures that show up to make Seattle Hempfest what it really is!

Well, this year I've purchased a booth!! This is my first event/show/fair, and I will openly admit that I am scared poopless. I barely have the supplies to run a booth! Borrowing a canopy and tables, and i'm going to use sheets to cover the tables. Cardboard boxes will probably help with displaying my items, and my sign is probably going to be painted by hand as opposed to a fancy printed vynle one.
I'm so very lucky, though, to have many very supportive friends that will be helping me achieve this every step of the way. Everyone in my life is being very reassuring, reminding me that "Everyone loves your soaps, you'll do fine" but, the fear can't be helped!!!
I'm an inexperienced 19 year old going out into the big big world and selling my name and my products to a tonnn of strangers!
Hopefully people will dig this young, thrown together feel. It's my first shot, but I'm so determined to make this amazing. I know the wonderful, amazing girls that will being attending with my (a coworker, Krystal, and a great friend of mine, Whitney!)


With my first event just around the corning, I'll have my shop down for a bit. It actually may not come back up until late August, early September because of the cure time for Cold Process soaps. I'll possibly save one bar of each soap here at my house while i'm at the event, so i have some items around to keep the thing open, but i've not yet decided yet. It really depends on how things go at the event!!

When i do return, though, EXPECT SOME GREAT THINGS! I'm planning to roll out a few additional Bath and Body products that I do not currently offer. Some ideas may include bath fizzies, chapsticks, body frostings, foamy sugar scrubs, etc.
Also, there will be a whole packaging revamp! My items will be much more professionally presented ( + super cute.)
I also intend to include a lot more scents and varieties of soaps. More shaving soaps, hemp soaps, and other recipes with scent available in more than one recipe.

So please excuse my absense for a bit, but when i come back, expect some AMAZING things!
