Welcome to My Mess(es)!

A Soapers favorite safety tools...

Pouring Chocoholics Unite soap into the mold...as you can see my soapy messes interrupt cooking messes...and actually, I'm accused of taking over the entire house, so I really should have just taken a photo of the exterior of the house and posted that, instead. Please note that this photo was taken a long time ago before I cut off all of my hair.

Soap all cut and ready for the curing rack...

Bottom of soap is flat so the soap won't roll away on you.

Inspirational Soap Stones

These realistic looking soap stones make a great Feng Shui addition to any bath. We've scented them with the rich, earthy, woody aroma of Patchouli. Six soap stones are included with each set, each one with a different inspirational word ~ Love, Peace, Fortune, Happiness, Harmony, Luck.

Much to our delight, one set sold shortly after it was listed for sale. We would be happy to make these in a scent of your chosing if you are not a fan of Patchouli.

Rich and Creamy Vanilla Buttercream Collection

It's a yummy addiction for your skin like no other...

Body Lotion ~ This is the perfect formula that leaves your skin feeling soft without that greasy slimey after touch.
Loofah Soap ~ Your feet are going to Thank You! We've taken a generous slice of loofah and submerged it in a luxurious helping of 100% Vegan Friendly Glycerin Soap. What can be better than a nice bar of scented soap that will both exfoliate and cleanse those rough, stinky feet?
Body Lotion Parfait ~ This is a very yummy Body Lotion Parfait. Smells every bit as yummy as it looks (but we don't advise eating this). Chock full of skin loving goodies and layered with aloe vera gel...what can be better than that?
Bubble Bath ~ This Bubble Bath offers loads of bubbles to enjoy alone, or with someone special. So unique in that you could use the product as a shower gel. Versatile and full of awesomeness!
Natural Soap ~ This soap is dripping with the essence of rich and creamy Vanilla Buttercream and we've tossed in some brown sugar for exfoliation. The superfatted soap formula is my own signature formula. It will leave your skin feeling extra pampered and loved.
Whipped Sugar Scrub ~ This is some great stuff! We've taken our Whipped Soap and combined it with some sugar ~ creating a fabulous scrub! Leaves your skin feeling clean, soft and moisturized. Best of all, this product is Paraben Free. A little goes a long way with this fabulous Whipped Sugar Scrub.

Giving Thanks to Those That Serve Our Country

One of my online friends and neighbor (literally ~ we live just one hour from each other), Sara, from Red Pine Mountain is putting together another box for Operation Shoebox. She is collecting comments and words of encouragement through her blog that will be included with items in the package. Let's help Sara send off a great big box of Thank You's to those serving overseas...and just in time for Thanksgiving. I am honored and thrilled to be part of this awesome opportunity.
