We have added three more blends to our webstore and stocked our Tallow+Clay+Charcoal bar. We added one of our original blends the Arizona Blend, this bar is one of four blends we classify as our Arizona Inspired bars. This bar is packed with skin loving ingredients like olive, avocado and jojoba oils along with cocoa butter which is unprocessed and organic. We also infused these oils with our very own chapparal plant. This is an amazing plant and is a signature scent here in Arizona when it rains. Also in the mix is cedarwood atlas and juniper berry which grows wild in Arizona's high country. It is a great long lasting bar.
Next is our Celtic Mist, one of two tallow bars we offer. Unlike the unscented Tallow+Clay+Charcoal this bar has a crisp, clean and refreshing scent. A perfect morning shower bar. Eucalyptus, lavender, lemon and cedar leaf are some of the essential oils used in this bar. It has a beautiful blue mica swirl throughout. Both of our tallow bars are made with Thousand Hills grass fed tallow, a superior tallow product.
Last is our ever popular Eucalyptus+Spearmint. One of our many goat's milk bars. The essential oil blend is created by mixing eucalyptus, spearmint, camphor and cypress. It is colored with French green clay and blue mica. We use a high amount of olive oil in all our goat's milk bars which make them incredibly mild bars. They are all good for every member of the family.
So we have three markets coming up. Our first one will be at the United Methodist Church in Casa Grande October 24th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The address is 1428 E Pueblo Dr. 85122. This market is filled with lots of handmade items and sweet treats. The weather should be perfect!
Our next market after this one will be the Sundance RV Country Store! Just like it says it's like a old fashioned country store. This one will be on November 6th from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The address for this market is 1703 N Thorton Rd. Casa Grande 85122.
Then we will be at the Mission Royale Fall Craft Fair November 7th from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. This fabulous market is held in the parking lot between the golf club and the recreation building. This market has a lot of great vendors and is close to the mall. It is a good central location with plenty of parking.
So, come out and say hello if you are in the area we would love to see you!!!

I have been making body butters for a while now, but never added them to the online store until this year. The reason is that our state of Arizona has some extreme weather, and of course it is heat. Whipped butters, balms and oils are really nice to use but they melt and become liquid easily in hot temps. So, I never really felt comfortable offering them for online purchase. These are going to be a seasonal offering, I will have them available online from October until the first week in May. During our hottest months there will be no stock listed for purchase.
I have three whipped products: whipped body butter, whole body whipped oil and whipped tallow balm. They all have different ingredients for different individuals preferences.
I will start with my body butters, since they are the most popular. Ingredients in my body butters include shea & mango butter, oils of coconut, jojoba, meadowfoam & castor. Of course we add scent in the form of essential oils and natural fragrance oils along with horsetail extract which promotes healing of skin, hair and nails, and then grapefruit seed extract for a natural preservative. The grapefruit seed extract is used in all these products as a natural preservative, although they should be used up within 3 months of purchase.
The Whipped Whole Body oil is a little different from the body butters as it has cocoa & kokum butters and is lighter because of the increased amount of liquid oils. I only have one scent for this product, Beach Breeze. The scent is very light and pleasing, it does not have a heavy lasting scent so it can be used on the face, hands or feet. This would also be good for young people as the scent is an essential oil blend, nothing chemical.
Last is the Tallow Balm, I have scented (essential oil blend) and unscented with local orange blossom honey. The Tallow Balm craze peaked earlier this year and now the market is flooded! I have used different tallow for making this and have decided to stick with Thousand Hills, some brands can have an off scent but theirs is pretty mild. My Tallow Balm is made with grass fed tallow, local olive oil and meadowfoam oil.
I would love to hear what you all think or if you have any questions I would love to answer them!

We are so excited about our new website! After years of moving from website builder and website addresses I feel I am back home. If you are looking for an easy website that is friendly to us non tech individuals check them out at articulationsites.com. This company was created by the people from the website builder I started with and I am so happy to have stumbled upon them.
So we are gearing up for the fall and winter!!!! I know I have said this many times, but I am so ready for fall :) We now have listed some of our whipped body butters, body oil and tallow balms for purchase on our website. Along with the usual scents we are adding over the next couple of weeks our fall and winter scents. These scents, Sweater Weather, Woodland and Peppermint+Vanilla will be available as a seasonal product only. We will have the other scents, our whipped body oil and our whipped tallow balm available from October until May during the year. Summer months are just to warm here in Arizona for these products.
Also coming up we are adding our full line of handcrafted soap blends. As batches become ready for purchase we will be adding them to the website. As always, each blend will be announced here on our blog and on social media. So be patient, they are coming!
In closing we will hope each and every one of you are staying healthy and happy!!!!
