Maybe exciting?


We were delighted to be approached by a representative from a very large British institution with regards to supplying their shops with SoapyChica goodies. We have sent off samples forthwith and shall await news with bated breath! If we are chosen we will have alot of pretty soaps to make which is great, because it is our most favourite thing to do!

Heavenly Goddess Soap



This is my current favourite soap that keeps tempting my naughty self back into the bath tub at funny times of the day , you know when you find yourself fancying a bath mid morning when you really should be working? That kind of soap! I really wish I could just eat this soap and have done with it :) Anyway there are plenty so I will never run out-that is the beauty of making your own!
There is clay, shea and all kinds of goodies in this silky soap to make you feel amazing and I am here to say it works!

A little blog feature!


I was delighted today to stumble upon a little feature on the Craft Gossip Bath and Body blog . Previously I was unfamiliar with the blog, but it looks good so I will be following it from now on, I am constantly amazed by all the new goodies available on the internet!

Having a clearout- much overdue



My spare room is in need of a clear out today. I have all the soaps here as I have had a problem storing them at the studio in the cold weather, so they sit here safe and warm (and not 'sweating' glycerine which they were at the studio) , which is lovely and the room smells nice. The only thing is, is that the boxes leave little room to manoeuver so I really need to get organised today while I have a little time. While I am on the subject, I would love to give this little room a makeover sometime soon, and in fact spread the effect around our whole house. I am not sure how Mark will take it as I want a lovely feminine shabby look :)

We probably have shabby right now, but without any chic!

While I am thinking about it, I am browsing Etsy shops for inspiration and for possible future purchases-plenty of beautiful ideas and accents to be found there on Etsy, its amazing!
Especially when you think these are all created by self-representing artists.
I shall list a few of my recent favourites because they are gorgeous - see what you think............

Satin and Birch M+P extraordinaire!


Papillon by Satin and Birch

I am impressed and inspired by the work of Leslie at Satin and Birch, who not only pours the soaps but designs and makes the moulds as well. These soaps are right up my street, and the packaging is gorgeous and compliments the decadent, opulent colours and shapes. Satin and Birch is the 'whole package' . I love to see glycerine soaps like these, so well thought out, and made with such an obvious passion and a good eye for style. It was the sweet little white horses that first drew my attention, but the whole shop is a feast for the eyes, you can almost smell the soaps just by looking at the pictures. I must pop a couple of pictures and a link here- I cannot bear not to! Definitely pop in for a look, you will not be disappointed!
