Selling soap & working on a website.

Holiday Scent Descriptions

I have been out of commission. I have a child with tonsillitis and I have been ill. I am feeling some better. So , here are the holiday scent descriptions I promised last week:

Merry Mistletoe- You will detect a floral bouquet note, which is enhanced by fruits and warm spices with just a subtle hint of pine & musk to make this a very romantic holiday fragrance.

Pumpkin Pie-A scrumptious concoction of smooth pumpkin with the warm, spicy notes of nutmeg, clove and cinnamon topped with a rich layer of butter.You'll swear theirs a pie in the oven. A definite mouth-watering "must" for the autumn and winter festivities!

Balsam Windsong- The wind blows across rows of Balsam pines and mixes with the scent of the lush Mountain forest floor to create this mesmerizing fragrance.

Beneath the Stars- A blend of Grape, Peach, Citrus, Plum, Rose and Musk. Perfectly balanced to bring you a tender medley.

Apple Peel-The crisp, tart goodness of apples is first and foremost. Added is the zingy tang of orange peel, and topped off with just the right amount of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove to enhance but not overwhelm the fragrance. The perfect combination for a true Christmas scent.

My available fragrance list. Still a work in progress.

I have had a busy weekend. I have been trying to re-organize my fragrances. This is a list of what I am keeping in stock.:

Oats,Milk And Bees- This is a great comfort scent. It's the warm scent of oatmeal combined with the nutty notes of almonds and the silky notes of soft vanilla. 

Spun Sugar- The perfect combination of pink cotton candy notes with a warm vanilla and caramel base.Add just a hint of citrus zest with soft musk bottom notes to round out this whimsical fragrance.

Irish Creed- This fragrance possesses a spicy sweet blend of French Verbena and lemon with a green center of Florentine Iris, violet leaves and sublime base notes of sandalwood and ambergris.It is the perfect sporty, masculine scent.

Naked - It is Pure and Simple. Perfect for those with allergies to fragrances and essential oils.

Appleberry-  This is the perfect pairing of tart apples and sweet luscious berries. Not overly sweet but just right. This one reminds me of the end of summer vacation.

Vanilla Sugar- Sandalwood, vanilla and musk with a light floral undertone. Sweet, sexy and unforgettable.

Winter Dreams- Complex mix of patchouli, citrus, vanilla and sandalwood with a hint of spice. One of our most popular scents. Just in time for cooler weather.

I'll work on posting the seasonal scents tomorrow.

Scent Descriptions for my soaps-Coming Soon!

I will be working on scent descriptions for my soaps and lotions this weekend. If you are looking for something in particular ... just call and ask. I am also waiting on the arrival of more candle making supplies to begin making more candles. They have been very popular and I am almost out. I hope to have my scents up by Monday. Thanks to you all.

Trying to get organized.....

I have been trying for days to get organized. It just isn't happening. I got my youngest child back in school today so maybe I might get something accomplished. I am thinking about making a test batch of shampoo soap and a test batch blending together Peppermint and Sugar Cookie fragrance oil. MMMmmmm. I have a vial with a mixture of them together. It smells like candy. Plus, I have got soaps to wrap up so I can find my kitchen table

Well...I'm off to clean and make soap.

Three new soaps - On the Rack

Black Vetiver

Balsam

Beneath the Stars

I took the pledge to buy handmade.

My fascination with soap!

I have been making soap now for about 5 1/2 years. I made it out of necessity to soothe the eczema my youngest child had. It was amazing how much we cut back going to the dermatologist. I sure was happy. I just wanted something to make me not only clean but smell good at the same time. Then began my addiction to fragrance oils. (I have been trying to cut back but it is a need I have to feed.) I remember thinking about my great aunt who made her soaps outside on a fire. It was nothing spectacular. But it cleaned everything and everybody. I wish she were here today to share my love of soaping.
