What does goat milk soap do to your body?
The fatty content of the soap helps seal in your skins' moisture - leaving your skin softer and smoother for longer. Goat milk soap deeply hydrates your skin on multiple levels and won't dry it out like commercially available soaps. This is important because moisture helps keep your skin healthy.

What a crazy couple of weeks, life sometimes takes over and distracts you from what you love to do. Im back on and have been creating and testing candles, trying to find a good balance, Ive decided that 50/50 parffin and soy wax and fragrance makes a nice scented longer burning candle. Making these little sets have been a bit of a hit. Im going to start doing little gift sets and placing them in random places around Tauranga for people to find and try as a gift. Have a fabulous day out there, keep dry and stay safe.

Home - Bay Balms Kawakawa leaves(macropiper excelsum) were traditionally used to brew herbal remedies or concoctions. A dissolution of leaves in hot water would bring out the flavours, aromas and essential natural minerals. Traditionally the tea was drunk to soothe the digestive system. The leaves were also turned i...

I tried my hand at candle making last night for the first time and I came out with these, like all things, will only get better with time and practice

Who doesn't like a mint slice biscuit🤤these chocolate peppermint slice soaps are amazing.

TGIF, what a week, work and moving, love working.....hate moving but on a positive note, work today, weekend tomorrow and back to doing my soaps and balms etc, I might give candle making a go this weekend to match with my creations.....watch this space.
On a side note Aunty Sarah, Im coming, I havent forgot you x I think you will love the French Pear and or the Guava & Lychee🙂
Have a fabulous day everyone and keep safe.

Its been a minute, what a weekend, Im burnt but had an amazing time, back into it, working my normal job and doing my little soap and balm business. Have an amazing week everyone and thank you to all that have ordered, I appreciate you all 😊😊

Have a fabulous weekend everyone, stay safe and enjoy the dry weather.

Home this morning after my 24hr shift, love my job, straight into packaging, making and posting. Have an awesome day out there, hopefully the sun sticks around. I know I have to really work on the piping skills for the body butter but I will get there, this Body Butter is fragranced with Chanel No5 oil and the other pic was some packages (not all) that went out this morning.

Aloe Vera soap creations today, this is a new one for me so like all things, it can only get better. The base is Aloe Vera and I added Jojoba oil and fragrance oils
Yellow is Joop
Purple is J'Adore
Black is Black Raspberry

While at work this morning, I thought I might try making soap using Aloe Vera, I added jojoba oil and fragranced it with J'Adore and still playing around with colour, I think its looks quite nice and it smells devine, I was thinking of my best friend Kaz when I made this one🙂

Another couldn't sleep night but thats ok, another order to prepare, this is the second order for them, I am am happy and humble to be able to make these products and that people like them🙂These soaps are French Pear (pink and white) with poppy seeds and A'dore with poppy seeds, I have to add a Chanel No5 fragranced Body Butter to the order and of course a couple of thank you gifts. Have an amazing day everyone, stay safe, keep warm and try stay dry ❤️

A sneaky little order going out❤️

I tried a new scent today called Exotic Love Spell in my soaps, they look pretty cool and the scent is growing on me, kind of reminds me of the scents at a Gypsy Fair. So while my niece was doing her soap creations, I was doing mine.

Had an afternoon with my niece creating, she got to make her own soap......she loves the poppy seeds for exfoliation, as you can see😁she chose Chanel No5 for her fragrance and they turned out quite cool.

I have been given the use of The Magic Butter Maker to infuse Coconut oil with Kawakawa........what a game changer, it gets ALL of the goodness from this amazing plant and after 6 hours I have an amazing oil and only pulp left, check out the colour, nothing but super kawakawa properties in this oil and this morning I added peppermint slice fragrance to the mix to give it a mouth watering scent. My photography skills dont do it justice.

Another one for the lads, who doesn't like Joop? Definitely a favourite of this old girls.

This one is one of my faves, Black Orchard
