Green Mist Soap

Green Mist Soap by The Daily Scrub


Everyone knows my love for what we call embeds in the soapmaking world! Well, I've decided to incorporate larger glycerin curls into this batch for a unique look!

I absolutely love the transparency of these curls in this new Green Mist soap!

A bike and a hike!

Untitled

We were so excited to be able to catch up with our friend Mountain Bike Mike (MBM) on Saturday morning for an early ride! Schedules haven't allowed us to catch up and ride together for a while! It was a lovely morning to have our trio back riding at the Park.

Untitled

We hit our usual Lakeview Trails and it was truly a glorious morning!

Untitled

We had missed the singletrack and our riding buddy! I love to take pics here on LV II. Look at Dynamo go!

Untitled

We stopped and chatted at our usual spots!

Untitled

Hopefully we can get back to our normal spring riding with friends. And, hopefully it will be a little warmer too!

Untitled

The best part about the early morning ride was the smell of campfires and breakfast cooking! It just smells soooo good!

After our 13 mile ride in the morning we met up with our friend Elise and Mariooochee, their dogs, and their new baby boy for a hike around Beaver Lake!

Poco Hike with Friends March 14 (52)

Three dogs, four adults, and a baby managed to make it the entire 3 plus miles around!

Order up!

We work hard to make each and every request just right! Recently, we have had some lovely custom requests!

Blueberry Mini Soap Bars by The Daily Scrub

These pretty mini bars headed to a bridal shower! Scented with blueberry lemon verbena, these lovely bars were to packaged up with a tag saying "From Shelly's shower to yours!"

Blueberry Mini Soap Bars by The Daily Scrub

How clever!! I just love the bold navy blue! We try very hard to match colors (usually they are pretty close)!

Blueberry Mini Soap Bars by The Daily Scrub

Our friends at Warthan Farms Photography wanted soaps and lip balm for their workshop attendees! And, we were happy to provide! Jennifer loves pink and wanted to try the loofahs in addition to her custom cotton blossom soap. We also added some peppermint lip love to the package! Oh, I'm so excited!!

Untitled

Hillary with Hillary O'Dell Photography wanted something special as a thank you gift when working with her new moms! So, we put together this pretty soothing lavender package! Lavender loofah soap, lavender oatmeal soap, and lavender mint lip love! What a special treat to show new moms how special they are to her!

Mountain Hike Monday - North Bank Trail

IMG_2173

Saturday was such a beautiful day to be outside! So, we took Charlie and went hiking on the North Bank Trail in downtown Richmond! And, Charlie was all smiles!

IMG_2176

We parked near the pump track/Boulevard Bridge lot and started our hike there along Maymont! We could even see the bear!

IMG_2180

It really was a glorious day! I'd been wanting to hike this route for a while, so was very anxious to get a great day to get outside!

IMG_2182

There are so many trails downtown that it can seem like a maze. We're still learning them all and how they connect. Dynamo rides down here with the guys but all of this is new to me!

IMG_2185

Charlie always wants to be the leader, but spends lots of time looking for his slow momma! We stopped for a photo opp and some water!

IMG_2193

Did you say water?

IMG_2196

IMG_2198

We passed a couple of cemeteries, but I was looking in particular for Hollywood Cemetery!

IMG_2200

IMG_2202

The views from the trail were amazing...

IMG_2204

The city really is lovely!

IMG_2207

We finally got there - Hollywood Cemetery!

IMG_2210

It was breathtaking!

IMG_2214

The boys rested on the bench while I wandered around and read the headstones and snapped pics!

IMG_2217

Here was Jefferson Davis' monument...

IMG_2216

And, Lewis Ginter...

IMG_2219

His company produced the first pre-packaged cigarettes! Also known for sharing his fortune to help build the Jefferson Hotel in Richmond because he wanted Richmond to have the finest hotel in the south!

His mausoleum overlooks the water...

IMG_2223

You could spend hours walking and looking! It is beautiful...

IMG_2232

IMG_2236

There were people everywhere...

IMG_2244

This kind lady shared a copy of an old book with me that tells the various historical facts about the cemetery. I can't wait to go back and see the whole place!

IMG_2247

So much history!

IMG_2250

Inside the book it said that the name for the cemetery came about due to the abundance of holly trees found on the grounds. Hence Holly-Wood!

We turned back and at the end of our hike we had completed 5 miles! What a beautiful day together!!
