Small Business Saturday is this Saturday and we encourage you to seek out your favorite small local business and shop for your needs or that special gift for holiday giving. We small businesses are hard working people that generally take our hard earned dollars and support the local economy. I personally think that rings more true today than it ever has. Instead of going to big box stores we have been trying to purchase from as many small local businesses as we can, especially since we are a small business ourselves and we know that this year has been a real challenge. So our gift to you this Saturday is free shipping on any order $24.00 and up! Normally we have a free shipping offer of $50.00 and over, but for one day only we are going to lower it to $24.00. This is just in time for crossing off that soap loving friend or family member on your list. These bars make the perfect stocking stuffer for that hard to buy for person in your life. So check it out, November 28th all day!
 Also, we now have those new batches of Peppermint & Vanilla and Goat's Milk & Oatmeal. And some beautiful crocheted and knitted soap pouches and wash cloths made by a very dear friend of mine, Peggy. These are just the nicest things ever. I have been using the wash cloths instead of terry wash cloths for about 3 years now. They are so much nicer. These are very soft and wash beautifully. They pair well as a gift with our handcrafted soap. We also have several other holiday scented bars available like Orange & Clove, Pumpkin Spice, Three Kings and our updated version of Cheers To Your Skin (with a certain Blonde beer added!). And coming December 5th will be our Festive Eggnog and Lavender Frost, so watch out for those announcements. And remember SHOP SMALL!

Our special Arizona Blend bar is the last batch release for July 17th. This earthy scented bar has a special blend of oils to create a non oil stripping bar. We add avocado, sunflower, olive and jojoba oils along with cocoa butter to coconut and palm oils for a super nice lather. It is scented with cedarwood atlas and juniper berry essential oils, we color it with cocoa powder and white kaolin clay. We also infuse the olive oil with our own chaparral plant grown on our property. This bar was inspired by the rustic way of life that is Arizona, from our arid deserts and rugged mountains to our beautiful lakes and water ways to the colorful wildflowers and cactus. It shouts Arizona! 
Next on our list to be released in a couple of weeks are Aloe & Alfalfa, Coconut & Lemongrass, two reformulated bars, Milk & Honey and our Cheers to Your Skin (beer soap). We will keep you posted! Have a great week everyone :)

Our third new batch release, Just For Me, now has rosemary essential oil added! These beautiful bars are the perfect summer blend. The essential oils used in this bar create a cool and refreshing shower or bath experience during these hot days! Peppermint, rosemary, tea tree and niaouli essential oils paired with a wonderful base oil that includes mango butter and avocado oil make for the perfect cool down after a day in our high temperatures. Also added is coconut activated charcoal to bind and remove dirt and oil from your skin. I carry slivers of this soap with me to use on the go because they are great to use when you are out and on the move. These bars are also going to be available July 17th on our website for purchase. Check them out!

Our new batch of this beautiful bar will be available to purchase online Friday July 17th. This customer favorite blends Lavender Bulgaria, patchouli, orange and this time we added clementine essential oil! This bar's essential oil blend is the perfect scent to wind you down and de-stress your day. On top of the great essential oil blend it is one of our goat's milk blends that is combined with the oils of olive, coconut and castor for a skin loving cleansing experience. This is our most popular lavender scented bar by far. We have two more new batches we will announce in the coming days, so come back and check us out!

This coming Friday our Goat's Milk & Oatmeal will be available for purchase online. There will be a limited availability on this bar until I find a new supply of Copaiba essential oil. This oil comes from Brazil and my thoughts are that because of the current issues our supplier is not able to get in new stock of this wonderful oil. So when this batch goes we will have to wait to make another when the stock is replenished. They will go fast at only 22 bars! This bar is mild with a light vanilla like scent. It is gentle and has a very creamy lather. Perfect for those who prefer their soap to have less scent. This bar also has benzion essential oil and a sweet vanilla oil added to the Copaiba oil. This makes it one of our essential oil only bars, no fragrance oils used here! We changed back to our square bars for this batch so that we could make a bigger batch. So, if this is the bar for you grab it fast before they disappear!

Yes, we are slowly restocking our most popular blends. And, adding some of our fun favorites as well. One such blend is our Arizona Citrus. This bar is part of our Arizona inspired blends. It is also one of our goat's milk bars as well. This creamy lathering bar includes the citrus blend of essential oils of orange, lemon, pink grapefruit and lime. We also add the essential oil vetiver known for its calming effect. Then we add a splash of neroli hydrosol to this bar for a little floral note as well. Just a wonderful citrusy bar. But please don't expect a powerful citrus scent, citrus essential oils lend a light smell to soap. This is not a strong scented bar, but is more for the person who likes something more subdued, not overwhelming. 
Our next bar is the popular Sweet Lavender! This bar could be our #2 selling bar behind the Fresh & Clean. Both lavender and patchouli are calming and grounding scents. They make a perfect bar to use after a long stressful day. This bar is also one of our goat's milk bars as well making it a good choice for sensitive skin. Both of these bars are essential oil bars which contain no fragrance oils. 
They will be available next weekend for purchase on our website, and we are also still offering the buy four get free shipping until the end of April. Use coupon code FREESHIP4 and your bars ship free! Just a reminder during this time to stay healthy and wash your hands often!

We also have three blends coming up in the next few weeks, the Sweet Lavender, Arizona Citrus and our ever popular bar Goat's Milk and Oatmeal. Also coming in April will be another change for our Milk & Honey. It will be an ingredient change again and we are going to also make a name change to fit the ingredient change. We will keep you posted!!!!
Everyone please continue to be extra diligent about your health and cleanliness, especially around people who are susceptible. Be respectful of these individuals, this was important before this issue our nations is dealing with and more importantly now.
So stay calm and wash your hands :)
