Happy, healthful New Year!

Here's to another healthful year. I stopped using mass-produced liquid body wash years ago (it’s full of toxic ingredients ☠️ that are scientifically linked to immunotoxicity, allergies, cancer, and more). I stopped using commercial soaps a little over 2 years ago when I started making my own. It’s been (and still is) quite a learning curve, but I enjoy the process, the learning and most importantly, the PRODUCTS. I cannot stress enough the difference that a true, organic soap 🧼 makes on your skin. This translates to better health in that you are introducing far less harmful chemicals ☠️ into your system and over time, IT ALL ADDS UP. It also doesn't strip your skin of the essential natural oils that you need to protect your body. I have been experimenting with different oils, 🥣 butters, scents 👃🏻(organic essential oils only) and some “colorants” 🖍️  (organic spices and clays only) and am hard pressed to name a favorite. Different soaps have different characteristics and I truly love them all. 🥰 I also discovered the wonder of shampoo bars 🚿 with the benefit of NO WASTE, either in packaging OR the (mostly) water (and chemicals) they contain. #WINNING Why are these not a thing everywhere? WHY are we still buying products that:

• We don’t need (think make up, hair styling products, dyes, etc)
• Are harmful to our health
• Add more waste to the environment
• Are by-products and waste
• Are simply $ makers for large chemical companies

Just finished making some yummy healthy “fudgesicles” (there may even been some still in the freezer should any “littles” drop in 😍) I bought a bag of avocados 🥑 just for this purpose – and to replenish my Avocado Soap. I am attempting to stock up on product in the hopes of being a participant in a local Farmer’s Market this spring🌱. Since I began soaping during the height of the pandemic, there was not an opportunity to get out there in person and try to build a customer base. It’s my hope that this will enable me to reach far more people locally so that I might better present both my products and the healthful benefits they offer – in person. Nothing like up front sincerity (in my opinion and experience) to truly showcase what I have to offer. Here’s hoping. I’m open to opinions, suggestions and ADVICE – especially from those who are well versed in attending and/or participating in these markets. I must admit – I am not a huge shopper 🛍️ (if you know me, well, you know HA!) and I buy things for the benefits they offer and the comfort they afford (hence, my everyday wardrobe 👖) and not the slick marketing in the forefront. That being said, I have discerning customers who care very much about presentation so…please feel free to send feedback. TYIA! 😁
