Hello, how are you? I'm back from my 3 weeks in the wonderful Florida sunshine🌞
It has been so good to escape for a little bit. I've spammed some sunshine pics if you want to have a look.
The first 2 are our friend in Florida's back garden. Can you imagine those views every day? She drove us up the coast for 2 days where I imagined myself living in nearly every house I saw along the beach.
We also did the 4 Disney parks. I must say that I didn't enjoy them as much as I have previously. They have become SO expensive since we visited at the beginning of 2020. There is a difference between price rises and greed. I did pluck up the courage to ride the Everest roller coaster again and my boyfriend can't stop laughing at the picture of me screaming my head off. I was so scared I was holding on to my lap bar and his at the same time 🤣 Had a good laugh about it afterwards.
Of course I couldn't not visit a local market while there. I may be slightly biased but I think our markets are much better 🤭
I also managed to get to Gideons Bakehouse after following them on Instagram for ages and it was worth the wait. The cake was my favourite item. The giant chocolate chips on the cake frosting was amazing and I also loved the peanut butter cold brew 👌🏻
Thank you so much for your orders while I was away! I'll be packing them up this afternoon and get them in the post to you tomorrow morning. I will be back to the soapmaking this week and will also start to restock the body butters and scrubs. A few items are out of stock but I will let you know on here as they are replenished.

Holiday mode is now activated 🌴
All orders from this week have been dispatched or delivered and any new orders placed will be dispatched week commencing 12th February 2024 xx

As 2023 comes to a close, I am filled with immense gratitude for all of you who have supported my small business this year. Your support has enabled me to create and share my passion for handmade soap and natural cosmetics while encouraging everyone to live a more sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle. Your support and loyalty keeps me striving to bring you the highest quality products.

I am looking forward to seeing what 2024 brings. Thank you for being a part of my journey and for making it possible for me to do what I love.

My last 2 markets for 2023 are on Saturday and Leeds Food & Craft Market in the city centre on Briggate on Sunday.
If you are looking for any locally made gifts then I've got soaps, shampoo bars, body butters, scrubs and lovely gift sets to suit most budgets starting from £4 up to £35.
Keep shopping local and support independent this Christmas if you can xx

We are so excited to be trading at the Harewood House Winter Artisan Market 2023 in November It will be the biggest event we've ever done!

Hope you find these rows of salt soap bars as satisfying as I do!

These have been freshly unmoulded and cut into soap bars and will go on to the curing rack for a minimum of 4 weeks.

Salt soap bars are an amazing addition to your skincare routine as they can help remove dead skin cells and unclog pores.

They are packed with minerals that nourish and hydrate the skin and can help to soothe irritated skin.

Salt soap bars are gentle on the skin, making them suitable for daily use.

You can find these online our at our markets. Our current favourites are the Rose Geranium at the front and the Rosemary and Lemon at the back of the picture.

Today I am at the from 10am - 2pm if you want to come down and get your soapy fix. I've got my usual soap range along with freshly whipped body butters, body polishes, and bath melts.
They are also a lovely bunch of other talented small businesses here too!

Exciting news! I will be back at Chapel Allerton Market on September 3rd from 10am-3pm with my handmade soap bars, body scrubs, bath truffles and gift boxes!

The weather looks set to be good so enjoy a relaxing day out supporting the markets local traders and the surrounding businesses in Chapel Allerton. Discover unique, high-quality items you won't find anywhere else.
Can't wait to see you there!

Our Charcoal & Tea Tree Soap is our most popular facial soap bar by far for teens and those who struggle with oily and acne prone skin.
It is loaded with activated Charcoal which helps draw out bacteria and excess oil from pores which makes them appear smaller.
Ground Oats offer light exfoliation and help to reduce skin irritation & inflammation.
Tea Tree and Lemongrass essential oils are antibacterial and anti-inflammatory which can help reduce the re-occurrence of breakouts.
This soap doesn't strip your skin or leave it feeling dry and tight. It can be used on your face and body.

Juicy 💦 Citrus 🍊🍋
These soap bars are scented with a fresh blend of Sweet Orange, Grapefruit, Lemon and Lime essential oils. The oils give this soap bar its subtle colour that is flecked with Orange Zest and decorated with a dry Orange slice.
I always recommend this one if someone is buying a gift and doesn't know what smell to go for. I don't know many people who can resist a fresh citrus and the Orange slice adds a little something extra.
Sunshine in a soap bar 🌞

These soap bars have just been freshly bevelled and stamped. Look at the beautiful swirls of skin brightening Turmeric running through them! Your skin will undoubtedly appreciate the gentle, yet effective cleansing and moisturizing properties of this soap. Indulge yourself in the refreshing scent of Lemon and the warm, earthy aroma of Patchouli while enjoying the luxurious bubbly lather. Suitable for use on the face, hands and body.
