Did someone say seashells?

Tropical Waters Soap Cupcake - The Daily Scrub (5)

Two of some of my favorite things...

Shells and cupcakes!

Tropical Waters Soap Cupcake - The Daily Scrub (6)

They turned out so pretty! I am super pleased with the colors and varying looks of these 6 cupcakes! Again, no two soaps are ever the same!

Headin' to the tropics...

Tropical Waters Soap - The Daily Scrub (8)

I was super excited to make another batch of Tropical Waters soap!

This bar is one of my prettiest, I believe!

Tropical Waters Soap - The Daily Scrub (3)

The colors and the shells are just so lovely and soothing!

Tropical Waters Soap - The Daily Scrub (11)

































It's just a fun bar of soap to make because I get to add extra special shells to the batch. It can sometimes be difficult to get the shells placed just right so you don't cut through the middle of them. It's sometimes just a guessing game!

I am so pleased with the result and I know my customers at the market this summer will love it too! If you know someone with a beach house, this is the perfect little gift for them!

What is your favorite scent from The Daily Scrub?

The little man hopes you're enjoying the holiday by doing the things you like to do. He wants you to know he will be playing frisbee and swimming in his pool!

Last bit on Riverrock!

We went down to Riverrock on Saturday to try to catch Marioochee and Clay in the mountain bike race! It was really rainy and muddy! We got to see the guys briefly fly by us on the trail and then at the finish after they were cleaned up!

Charlie got to walk around some and visit with some of his friends!

There were lots of people checking out the paddleboarding demos...

We had a fun time just walking around checking out the vendors and scenery.

Riverrock2013 191

Friday was a big day for Charlie! He was registered to compete in his first official race with his human, Dynamo! So, we picked up Dad and Mom and headed to Richmond for the Riverrock Festival and Ruffwear Filthy 5K Mud Run!

Riverrock2013

Charlie was excited and ready to run!

Riverrock2013

He had rested all day to be ready for the 3.1 mile off-road run with his buddy Brendan and her human, Elise! We got there and he could hardly wait!

The Riverrock is a three day festival downtown on Brown's Island! They have all sorts of outdoor events going on throughout the weekend!

Including this guy walking on this...

After they set out on their 3.1 mile journey, we walked over to the finish line to find a place at the mudpit!

We watched all sorts of crazy dressed people and their animals come through the mud!

Riverrock2013 203

Everyone was having such a great time!

Riverrock2013 210

Then, it was time...in the distance...there's Dynamo...

There they are...
