Applejack Anyone?

Just a lovely fragrance if you ask me!



Applejack is a delicious true apple scented soap! If you like realistic then this is for you!



Even though apples come in the fall in Virginia, it's a great scent all year long! The poppy seeds are one of my favorite additions to my bars! Do you like them?



I've been thinking about creating more delicious apple fragrances for the fall. Any thoughts?



Find Applejack at the market this Saturday!

Oatmeal...For more than just eating...

Another one of my latest batches is Oatmeal, Milk, and Honey!

This is a staple in my inventory as it is one of the most gentle and moisturizing bars I make.

All of the bars I make are gentle, but there's just something about this bar that's extra special!



Moms choose this bar for their babies! It's just so soft and creamy and screams "I'm gentle!"

I use real oatmeal in my bars! It is such a valuable part of this bar providing extra moisturizing qualities!

Oatmeal is soothing and will soften your skin. The ground oats (yes, I grind them myself) inside this bar act as exfoliators removing the dead skin and even often eliminating your itchy spots!

If you've never tried one of my soaps before, this is the one I'd recommend. Stop by and pick one up at the Market this Saturday!

Cock a doodle doo!!

I'm super excited about a recent order! The Urban Farmhouse Market and Cafe in Richmond asked me to make a coffee soap cake for their shop using their coffee blend!

Talk about excited and honored!!! WOW! They want to "serve" my soap cake by the slice to their customers! What a great conversation piece! So, as soon as we got back from vacation I got to work on the cake! It's complete, but needs to be cut! I just wanted to give you a sneak peak before cutting!



I'll post pics once we slice it, but until then close your eyes and pretend you can smell it! It really is a lovely fragrance that's not over the top coffee smelling!

In the process of making this cake, it gave me an idea to make some coffee soap for The Daily Scrub customers!



As an experiment I made a few bars with coffee grounds! The grounds are excellent exfoliators!

I added activated charcoal to the bars and the cake as the middle layer. Remember, activated charcoal is known for removing impurities in the skin.

This bar is so creamy and yummy! I can't wait for it to be ready!

Even if you're not a coffee lover, I can guarantee you'll love this bar!

So, stay tuned. We'll be cutting the cake soon and I can't wait to see the lovely pattern inside!

And, many thanks to my friend, Lisa, for getting me connected with The Urban Farmhouse!

Have a great day!

Headin' to the tropics...

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



































This bar is one of my prettiest, I believe!



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



































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?

A favorite - Lavender Chamomile

I've been busy like a bee working on making more and more soap!



This week will be mostly soapy posts! I want you to see the latest creations as soon as we cut them!



As you know each batch turns out differently! Lately, I've been experimenting with getting the bars to be more white versus cream colored!



I think they turned out nice!



Nothing beats lavender chamomile!



It is so soft and gentle and makes you relax when you smell the combination of fragrances!



What's your favorite scent?

Come see me tonight!
