Another free sample coming soon!!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the free sample give away! All of the samples were mailed last week so if yours have not arrived yet they should very soon.

Stay tuned because I have many new soaps curing, including one that looks and smells just like a slice of pumpkin pie- pictures to come soon.

Also, I have finished testing the 'Single Use Sugar Scrub Cubes' (see an earlier blog post for a picture and description) and I am ready to list them on Etsy. That of course means samples for blog followers! I haven't decided on a scent for the free samples yet so if anyone wants to suggest a scent they see in my Etsy store there is a good chance I will use it.

Now it's back to work for me. I hope everyone has a great week!

Another new product- Rose Petal Soap

I am taking advantage of a creative spurt by making some new things for my shop. I was going to start a line of fun soap shapes, like popsicle and jelly bean shaped soaps but I got the urge to try my hand at wedding favors.

So I went to my favorite store today and looked around the wedding section. I found a few containers for favors but I wasn't sure what to put in them. Then I turned around and saw something I haven't used for quite a while with soap: silk rose petals!

Several years back I made single use soaps by dipping fake rose petals in clear, scented glycerin soap. When it dries you have a beautiful soap coated rose petal. Simply wash with the rose petal and toss it when you are done. They were great to carry with you or for guest soap in the bathroom. The idea is to use each one once and then toss.

Tonight I made some for the first time in quite a while and I have to admit my technique needs a bit of practice. The soap kept alternately hardening and dripping when it wasn't supposed to. But I had some turn out well. I took some pictures because who wants to hear all of this without pictures?? That would just be cruel.


This small take out container measures 2 1/2" tall, 2" deep, and 2 1/2" wide. It holds 11 Rose Petal Soaps



This container measures 2" across and 7/8" tall. It holds 4 Rose Petal Soaps. (And it was a real pain to take pictures of, lol. It looks much better in real life.)



I plan to play with the packaging a bit before I list these on my Etsy site but I hope you have enjoyed the pics!

My First Blog!!

I am finally coming out from under my rock and joining the rest of the world. This is my first ever blog. :)

Alas, this is just a test post and I am off to keep working on a new product for my Etsy store, Sugar Cube Scrub. I will post pictures of my preliminary scrubs soon. In the meantime, feel free to visit my Etsy store at www.smileyme520.etsy.com.
