The Grunge Line

Perfect for skate, surf or any kind of shop that's 'cool like that' or that cater to a younger crowd.....drumroll please........introducing the grunge line.

Dirty Soap- We call it dirty because it's made with Rhassoul mud that is known for it's detoxifying properties. Also, tea tree, lemon and rosemary essential oils that have antiseptic properties. This bar is great for anyone with stubborn or acne prone skin.

FU Bar- For the morning after a really tough night. The lemongrass and ginger essential oils are invigorating and give you that little wiff that perks you right up. Really great after club hopping or an all-nighter!

Gritty Brick- Ground cornmeal and citrus essential oils scrub even the dirtiest tagger clean. So if you're not out tagging buildings but working in the garden or on the car, this bar is great for getting the grime and grub off.

The pics are just sample sizes, but the regular bars are over 5 oz each and come packaged as displayed.

"Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger..."

"but she ain't messin' with no broke.... " ah, love Kanye. So, we wanted to make a Gold Digger soap and this is what we ended up with. It's fun, a bit funky and gleaming of gold glitter (caw-caw) we love anything with glitter!

It smells of bourbon geranium & jasmine so it's fragrant and floral with a bit of attitude. Get down girl, go'head!

Green Tea & Ginger Soap Cake

Happy to be curing for the next 4 weeks, this green tea & ginger CP soap cake is going to get lots of ooh's and ahh's at an upcoming bridal shower. This is a perfect bridal favor, a gift the recipient will ACTUALLY love and use! It will be so adorable sitting on a cake pedestal!

It smells fantastic, of fresh green tea and a hint of exotic ginger and of course, it's made with a smidgen of love and a sprinkle of happiness for the bride to be.

"LET THEM EAT CAKE!!"

Well......MAYBE not this one. Yes it smells of creamy coconut and luscious chocolate all mingled together. Kinda like opening the doors to your favorite cake shop and catching a wiff of something hot and fresh out of the oven. YUM!

This one we've layered for effect and have topped it with chocolate curls. AND best of all it's fat free! hee-hee. Well, it's soap. This is our German Chocolate Soap Cake and is headed to it's new home at Bumble Beads in NY. If you haven't you need to check out their very cool bobbles. Their link is on the left side of the blog.

Until next time...

YUM! A Fresh Batch Of Oats & Honey Soap

It's too bad you can't smell it thru the internet because.....y u m m y!!!!!!! This stuff smells THAT good. This is a coconut & olive oil based soap so it's really hydrating and is made with honey, which gives it that luscious warm color. We also add finely ground oats that give you a little extra scrubbing action. But seriously, it smells so good you want to take a big chomp out of it. This is something we certainly would not recommend, because after all, it IS soap.

It's a warm, milky, honey, almond smell. Can you smell it?? :)

Shimmer Shimmer Cocoa Pop- Vegan lotion bar

Reminds us of the song..."shimmy shimmy cocoa pop..." but it's actually a lotion bar! If you haven't heard of a lotion bar, it's the same concept as lotion, minus the packaging. So you rub it in your hands and then rub it on whatever body part you want.

This particular lotion bar is made of mostly organic cocoa butter. We use fair trade, organic cocoa butter so it still has its lovely chocolate aroma. We also add unrefined, fair trade shea butter and scent it with a seriously yummy blend of warm sugar, vanilla, chocolate and a touch of musk (synthetic)

It's sultry & sweet all at the same time. And a little goes a long way. This bar will last and last and gives you peace of mind knowing its packaging won't be sitting for eternity in some landfill. :) That's just good karma and good karma smells so yummy!

A Yummy Cinnamon Scrub Bar

This bar is heavenly. Simply scrumptious....
It's loaded with ground cinnamon & clove so it smells......yummy. We also add natural ground oats, so you can be sure any dry, bumpy bit is left soft and smooth. It's also really softening on the skin, with palm kernel, olive, coconut oil & cocoa butter.

This is one of those bars where you might not be so inclined to share.....although sharing is always good :)

Lemon-A-Peel Soap

This yummy little block of lemon lusciousness one of our best selling soaps. It's made with organic oils and is a glycerine soap, so it's really hydrating on the skin. We create this soap with freshly squeezed orange, lemon & lime juice. We also add some ground lemon peel and amazing smelling essential oils that literally could make you drool. It's luscious and yummy all at the same time. You don't want to stop using it. It's the perfect wake-me-up in the morning shower.

Voodoo Magic Massage Bar

This is for weekend warriors or really anyone that needs to work out some stubborn knots. This massage bar is made with organic cocoa butter and unrefined shea butter, so it's really hydrating on the skin. You rub it on whatever body part is giving you a fuss. The adzuki & mung beans will work out even the most stubborn of knots.

It also contains peppermint, cinnamon leaf and white pepper essential oils, that give you that minty-cool feeling and helps to relax tense muscles.

Did I mention this is great for a good old fashioned foot massage after a long day on your feet? If you can get someone to perform said massage, EVEN better!

Scrub-a-dub-dub

If you want silky smooth skin this summer, let me tell you about our body scrubs. We use skin nourishing oils like avocado, apricot kernel, jojoba, sesame and Vitamin E. And the scent.....luscious.......a little bit of lemon, lime, tangerine, bergamot and blood orange essential oils just to name a few :)
Lemon Drop is one of our best sellers, but we do make two other mineral salt scrubs: put the lime in the coconut & berry sinful (which is actually made with strawberries!)

We use the same base of oils for our sugar scrubs, which come in two scrumptious scents; mango sorbet and vanilla bean which has real organic vanilla pods infused and vanilla absolute, so it really smells of warm vanilla! I do recall someone talking about a study performed where they asked men what scent they liked most and it was......VANILLA! Hey, if you smell like a yummy cookie......what could be better?! (hee-hee)

You will love~love~love it!

Shea It's So!

Just received a 50 lb order of unrefined shea butter from Ghana. We use a lot of shea and will go thru this block quickly, but it is pretty impressive to see :)

 

CRAZY idea!

Ok, so at the yummy meeting today we brainstormed some ideas and one was very unusual......so I had to share! hee-hee. Ok, it's really more of a gag gift or would be a really 'cool' present for little boys, little girls- eh, not so much....... 

A bar of soap called 'the up-chuck bar!' So a mixed blend of many soaps into a lumpy, icky looking shape and voila- the up-chuck bar is barfed, I meant...born!

This is not your mothers soap, and no, we wouldn't recommend it as a birthday, wedding or anniversary gift (you may end up on the sofa for that one) but it does have it's place. So yes, we are considering it. 

Just a little pearl of wisdom from deep within the gelatinous masses (aka brains) of the yummy staffers :)
