Two Newest Soapy Creations!




I have so many new soapy creations coming! I am a bit slow on getting them uploaded. Since I lost my soap shop girl a few months back I am having to learn all the ins and outs of photoshop. Its taking time but I hope to be a pro soon.




Above are the two newest items to our website: Tea with a twist and Eureeka, Mint! Both are absolutely fabulous, already tested on family and friends with rave reviews.




Our 'Tea With A Twist' is such a clean smellin soap. Imagine yourself relaxin by the pool with an ice cold glass of tea and twist of lemon. That describes this sweet smellin bar of glycerin soap. Each slice is approximately 4 ounces and comes packaged in a clear cello bag with ribbon to match.




Eureeka, Its Mint! Our blend of eucalyptus and spearmint together. WOW! This one is a real eye opener in the morning. Our Eureka, Mint is approximately 4 ounces of skin loving glycerine soap - comes packaged in clear cello bag with ribbon to match.

Watch HGTV February 27th, 2009

I can't believe it is really going to happen! February 27th, 2009 my episode of HGTV's hit show "That's Clever" will air!

You don't understand how long the waiting game has been. I really thought it would never happen after two years. But.... it is! I might regret posting this now as the producers had me doing some VERY strange yet crazy things.

So... keep tuned as I am sure I will post a reminder. :)

Got Garlic and Onions?


Love to cook but hate the ‘after smell’ on your hands? I am talking about garlic and onion. That garlic scent can linger on your fingers for up to two days!! Did you know that coffee grounds will help to eliminate that scent from your hands?

You can sprinkle coffee grounds or salt into your hands and rub together to eliminate. There is another step to accomplish:



After washing, rinse hands under water, then rub hands on stainless steel sink OR other stainless steel item, rinse again. If that does not work; try the above steps one more time.

You may eliminate several steps above by trying our “Cup O Cappuccino” glycerine soap. It is chock full of coffee and works! I used it last night.

The link above will take you directly to our ‘Cup O Cappuccino’ soap, which will be seen on HGTV’s hit show ‘That’s Clever’ this spring 2009.

NOTE: You do not want to use this soap as a shower bar, it is highly abrasive!

Many Great Uses For Lavender


I am sure many of my readers either LOVE or HATE lavender. I used to hate it; after many special requests from customers, I have actually come to tolerate it. However; with that being said; I have to remind myself that lavender is a fabulous plant.


The plant name for lavender is: Lavandula angustifolia aka Lanandula vera

Lavere: means 'to wash' while Lavandin is also sold as lavender essential oil.


The lavender plant is grown all over Europe, is native of the Mediterranean area and the pure oil mainly comes from France.


There are many great properties for lavender essential oil such as: analgesic, antibiotic, anticonvulsive, anti-depressive, antiseptic, antispasmodic, antiviral, decongestant, fungicide, sedative and stimulates the immune system.


Fabulous uses:

Mental/Emotional: calming, depression and insomnia


Muscular/Joint: cramps, headaches, inflammation of muscles and joints, tension and vein problems.


Respiratory: bronchitis, colds, asthma, whooping cough


Skin: acne, eczema, burns, insect repellant, bites, and wounds.



So what do you do with it? You should mix your essential oil in a carrier oil such as: almond oil, grapeseed, etc. (be sure to check for nut allergies) Well, lavender can be fabulous in its pure state to combat headaches - Just put a few drops in your oil and you have a natural blend.


With that being said, I must CYA:

My Segment WILL Air

Well after two years of anticipation, It is finally going to happen! For those of you that are lost. I was filmed December 2006 for HGTV's hit show "That's Clever", I was given multiple air dates - Those never happened. So I finally gave up!

Now it looks like my series is already scheduled online and is due to air sometime the end of February or early March. Once I have an exact date I will post it online. I am somewhat apprehensive about doing that; Why? Well the producers of the show forced me to do some really out of character things but..... it was a great experience and I am sure will be entertaining for all of you. So.... tune in for updates!

Smell ya later,
Cindy

Put A Fork In Me; I Am DONE!!

Well here it is December 18th, and I THINK I am finished with all soapy orders for the year. Of course the minute I publish this something will happen. Sales are finally winding down for the season, which is bittersweet for me. I say that because I am tired! I have worked my butt off this holiday season, and I am ready for a nice break. On the other hand; I am such a busy body that I am not sure I will know what to do with myself.

At any rate; I intend on being MIA from the soap shop and this blog for ATLEAST a week. Thank you to all my fabulous customers and friends during this holiday season. I wish each and everyone of you a safe, yet fun holiday; and incase I decide to take two weeks off - Have a Happy New Year.

Smell ya next year,
Cindy
