two exciting new products!

This winter I'm introducing two exciting new products:

guest bars: of a variety of my soaps and you can pick & choose to your heart's content. Guest bars are poured from the extra bit of soap mix that did not fit the large molds, so supply is always different ~ guest bars are $2 each


DIY nugget packages: one and a half pounds of miscellaneous soap noodles, just add some milk and squeezing power to make your own soap balls (or sculptures!) - a perfect activity with friends and/or kids and their friends! ~ a gallon bag of noodles is $10
