Small Business

Today I am proud to say that I donated part of the profits from my first sale(!) to Create Jobs for USA, which is contributing the funds raised to Opportunity Finance Network (OFN), which is a group of community lending institutions that finance small businesses.

As a small business that is trying to grow, supporting other small businesses is extremely important to me. Succeeding to a point where I can actually create a job for someone else is even more important, because than I know that I am pushing myself and my company in the right direction. Knowing that I am helping other people accomplish the same goals not only gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling, but also gives me a sense of accomplishment. :)

So, donate today, help small business grow and create jobs, and support small businesses by purchasing goods and services from them!

Incan Mint Soaps


This soap smells and looks so real I dare you not to try a bite! (Please don’t actually bite it. While the soap won’t hurt you, my fiancĂ© can attest that it doesn’t taste very good.) The perfect blend of chocolate and mint, just like a certain famous mint. As a bonus, this deliciously soapy version has zero calories!

Re-Listed - Honey Nut Oats Soaps

Honey Nut Oats Soaps

During the winter, I think theres nothing better for breakfast than a big, warm bowl of oatmeal. Think of this soap like breakfast for your skin. Its full of oats, shea butter, and raw honey- all mixed up and ready to delight your skin and senses. It does wonders for softening skin, and is very mild. I love it for hand soap as the winter gets dryer here in the Rockies.

Each bar weighs approximately 5 ounces, and is just smaller than a 2.5 x 2.5 inch square, with about 1.25 inches in height. Great for shower or bath, especially for those who suffer from dry skin, and excellent for hand washing for the same reasons.

One Rose of Love Soap - Centennial Star


One Rose of Love Soap - Hot Pink



New Molds!

I was absolutely thrilled when the SO answered the door yesterday and brought a package from Taiwan upstairs for me. It had been a month since I had placed the order and the day was finally here- my new molds had arrived! Woohoo! I quickly got down to unboxing, examining, and showing them off to the SO. But the fun was yet to come, as I then prepped three batches of soap for molding.

Dare I say that these are the BEST three dimensional silicone molds ever? They are wonderfully sturdy, and produce gorgeous details in the soap. Sure, I had to hunt down a stash of rubber bands for use on the tallest mold, but that was the biggest issue I had. It seemed like an obnoxiously long time waiting for the soap to set, but I attribute that to just being so anxious to get the finished product out!

Eventually, the time came and I happily, and carefully, pried apart the molds to see my new creations. As I said- GORGEOUS! The detail is astounding, and everything looks so beautiful! I just can't get over the results! Was the wait and expense (a single mold can run up to $40, before shipping expenses) worth it? YES!!!

So, to share my joy, here are some quick shots (from the phone, sorry...) of 2 of the resulting soaps. The picture of the third was terrible, so it will come later after the battery is charged in the actual camera.









Wow... forgetful, aren't I? The molds were purchased from EGBHouse on eBay. They were great to work with, since the eBay system didn't calculate the combined shipping, but they kindly credited me back the overage. Wonderful products, amazing designs, and definitely worth the cost and the wait!
