A little about me and soap


I will never forget my first “soaping” experience,I must of been about 7 years old at my grandmother's house. Me and my sister were peeking in the garage door as my granny and mother mixed the lye solution ( I just thought they were being mean and not letting us in on the fun.) I remember the awful smell from the lard/tallow and couldn't figure out why they were making something that smells so bad. Who would actually use this? Then weeks later I remember my grandfather in a deep Italian accent telling grandmother there was no way she was gonna wash his clothes in the that awful smelling stuff. So from that day on I thought nothing good of homemade soap, till years later.

Three years ago I got blessed to work for an amazing soap artisan Tanda. The amazing soaping world she told me about was to seductive and luring I knew one day I would walk down this path. For years I soaked up all the knowledge I could possibly find and I'm still finding. Thanks to Tanda ( she is also my soaping mentor at this time) I'm now a soaping addict and can't get enough of it.

Finally at the beginning of 2010 I got to play with soap, oh so many years of being patient finally paid off. I only had planned on making mothers day gifts for my family and making a few products for my son's super dry skin. Well now I'm selling skin loving products and loving every minute of it. I hope you all enjoy my products as much as I do.


Why buy handmade soaping products?
Say hello to “glycerin” one of the best things for your skin it pulls moisture from the air onto your skin. Most store bought soaps are actually detergents. Buying local or from the owner is great cause they know there products inside and out . They are more then willing to help there customer find the perfect product for them or as a gift.
