Peppermint Shampoo Bar

Introducing our Hard Bar Shampoo specially formulated for hair to clean and shine without stripping and leaving those horrible chemicals behind.. and it can also be used as an all over body wash too.. In fact it's the Swiss army knife of soaps:) This is infused with Peppermint Essential Oil - yum.. A blonde girly one is coming soon!

What's in the bathroom!

Just a snapshot of what we're using to shower/wash/bathe with..



We love all the soaps for different reasons - some are great to get you going in the morning like Just Ginger or The Invigorator (Peppermint) Indulgence soaps for a long relaxing soak like Rubics and First Kiss and for washing hands & face during the day (all of the above) and Spicy Pear and Blanket..

Poppy Inspiration

These Poppies growing in our garden are so beautiful and have inspired us to try to make a soap that has these vivid colours with smells that remind you of a lazy summer's day..


Bath Time..

My favorite time of the day.. A lovely hot bath with a bath
bomb that I made earlier containing peach oil..

There it goes..

.. we have fizz!!

Exploding into action now, releasing delicate calendula
petals....my skin felt wonderful afterwards
and we could still smell the lovely peach the rest
of the day. mmmmm..

Lovely soap...

For those who aren`t familiar with our soaps, they are handmade cold process soaps, made in an old time traditional method, each piece is lovingly made and takes about 4 weeks from beginning to end to be ready to enjoy.. all our ideas come from wanting to move away from "grannies christmas gift set soap"!!....and moving forward to give you a fresh & funky look and smells that wow together with extraordinary moisurising properties.


Rubics, soft sweet almond oil scented soap


These special soaps given as gifts will definately be used...not stuffed at the back of the cupboard!! We can safely say that each one is unique...we love making them, & we love using them

The Invigorator

Fantastic soap to get you going in the morning..

Contains Peppermint Oil which apparently stimulates the mind to improve mental clarity and increases the body's general energy level along with the therapeutic properties of Tea Tree Oil which is antimicrobial, antiseptic, antiviral, balsamic, bactericide, cicatrisant, expectorant, fungicide, insecticide, stimulant and sudorific...Well, I never!!

These really do look & smell amazing..

Jublilee

Our Jubilee Celebration soap created to mark this special occasion - terrific smells of fruity freshness.. Wouldn't it be great to sing 'God Save The Queen' at full throttle whilst showering with this:)

For those dry patches...

yes we can make a soap that exfoliates, but cares for your skin at the same time, not leaving it dried out like an old prune!! P.S it looks & smells good too, we will post updates soon....any other requests :-)

Here`s one for the boys...

Just Ginger
Why should the girls have all the fun in the bathroom??!!...this soap has been a winner in our household for what seems like forever, men like to wash with a manly soap...& boy is this manly!! Big strong creamy white bar with a kick like a donkey.....take it everywhere, to the gym, on holiday or just in the shower, guaranteed you wont smell like a girl!!

Girly Whirly



Feeling like a special treat in your shower?
Want to lock the bathroom door for that extra ten minutes ?.... then let Girly Whirly be your excuse! Infused with natural sweet orange essential oil, it shall uplift the darkest of moods & help you get yourself back on track (tip...or use it everyday to keep yourself on the track!!)

As promised unveiling of "ice-maiden" :-)

Here it is....& it`s turned out really well, it smells divine, bit like a homemade warm apple crumble but with none of the calories ;-), on top of that we added loads of creamy coconut oil for a good soapy scrub down!!
All the hard work of creating the soap balls paid off, the result looks quirky and it`s created an individual look on every bar...not one is the same!! Pleased as punch :-)


Getting ready now to release our "Girly Whirly" soap....this one is made especially for girls....so hands off boys, your turn will come...watch this space!!!

Ready Steady Go.....

Been busy little bees, getting ready for the Jubilee celebrations.....had lots of weired & wonderful ideas last weekend, so this morning started to make soap balls ....hundreds of them! Sounding like a good idea, thought it may take an hour.....3 hours later!!! looking like little snow balls, thought I`d add some "ice" soap spaghetti to go with it....hmmm maybe this soap will be called "ice-maiden"
This is a technique I haven`t used before.....so watch this space !!!! See you in 2 days for the update......
