Soapy Inspiration- Sushi

We love sushi!

www.finestchef.com

And while good sushi is a little hard to come by here in this little town in south central Texas (except for here- where my hubby takes me on my birthday and our anniversary!), it still served as inspiration this week for some soap!

Scented with Wasabi fragrance, of course!

Happy Halloween!

This is about as scary as I get, folks... The Tower of Terror, Disney World!

Soapy Inspiration- Candy Corn

My husband *loves* candy corn.  Every Halloween I buy him a bag and question his sense of taste.

But they are pretty, and so... another soapy inspiration!

I know, I know... I got the shape wrong :)

And since the real thing smells like, well, nothing, I took a few liberties and created a sweet citrus and lemon essential oil mixed fragrance for these look alikes.  Available in our Etsy Shop!

Happy Friday everyone!

Cranberry Spice Soaps

New soaps are here for fall!

Cranberry Spice Soaps- such cute little fat soaps!  They come in a choice of pumpkin...

...or leaf shapes...

You can find them here at Bean Street Market!

Autumn Leaf Guest Soaps

This weekend here it was humid and in the 90's... better than the 100's from last month, but kind of difficult to get in the mood for fall.  But I forged ahead and made these autumn leaf guest soaps:

Aren't they sweet?  Each 3 ounce soap has a pretty fall leaf inside (made of soap) and tinted with slightly sparkly mica.

I used Pomegranate fragrance and lemon essential oil to scent them- a wonderful autumn fragrance!  You can find them here in our Etsy store...

...And here's to hoping for some fall weather!

Soapy Inspiration- Raspberries and Limes

The raspberries at my local grocery store have been fantastic the past few weeks- sweet, juicy, and gorgeous!

They served as my soapy inspiration this week- Raspberry Lime Shea Butter Soap!   

     

Simple and sweet, just like their inspiration.  And the scent- sun ripened raspberries and fresh lime... yum! 

     

Get some in our Etsy shop!

Cosmos...?

I think these are a cosmos variety of blooms, but I'm not sure...

Anyone else know?

Flowery Soaps

Here's some soaps I've been working on this week...

I haven't come up with a good name for them yet, so for now, I'll just call them Flowery Soaps.  Aren't they pretty?
