Like Riding a Bicycle

Olive Oil and Goat Milk Shave Rounds-creamy and luxurious goodness for your skin.

Ahhh, I made a batch of shave rounds today-the first time I've soaped in probably a month and the longest break I've taken from soap in 4 years. I was a bit worried that after my bout of soaping issues I would struggle a bit with making a batch after what seems like forever, but as it turns out it's like riding a bicycle.  My hiatus has been a good thing for the first time in a very long time my mind went to other non soap related things. I took time to see the world around, I took time not to obsess about all things soap related-mostly that urgent need to "market" it, and you know what? I have had  a few good things come up behind the scenes in my soaping world all while I wasn't worrying about it all-good things I never expected. So, just when I was about to "throw in the towel" I think I'm finding a second wind to push on ahead to see where it takes me.

I  totally enjoyed making a simple batch today. No pressure, no worries, just a peaceful pleasure. It turns out that for me a break was a very productive thing. I've learned that it's very important for me to take time to do things that fuel my spirit, and I've learned that all the obsessing was counter productive to abundance. So if you're ever stuck and things seem to be an uphill battle-I highly recommend a short break. ;-) It'll do you good.

Making the Switch

Olive Oil and Goat's Milk Shave Soap- A soap for the purist; no scent and no color just plenty of enriching olive oil and goat’s milk - earthly delights that nourish and nurture all skin types.3.75 ounces $5.00

The final preparations are underway on the website updates-soon the new improved site will be live. You will notice a few things right off-all the photos have been updated, a Gift Set tab has been added, there will be an area for announcements such as sales, shipping announcements, upcoming events etc, along with a more colorful format matching the blog. It is my hope that within the week we will be making the switch.

Side note: at one point I fully intended to have photos done by a professional, but when I didn't receive all the images for whatever reason-I had to take a step back and take my own photos. While they may not be perfect from a professional photography standpoint, I'm pretty happy with them. All this to say-if you are thinking about having someone photograph your product because you think you can't, think twice. No one cares more about your image, your product and the look you are wanting to achieve than you do. The End

I would also like to say "Thank You-to infinity and beyond" to my husband for all his hours and hours of work on the website. I could never do it without your help and support.  xoxo

Four Rounds because I love how they look

A  pile of rounds

While trying to get photos of soap for my website I took a few minutes to play a-round. I love how all these colors look together -  how organic and real they are.  I love the light and shadows.  I love how rounds are so perfect. They make me happy! : ))
