Scent of the Month - Sakura - Japanese Cherry Blossoms

April's scent of the month is Sakura, the word for Cherry Blossoms in Japan.  Mr Pisces and I have 3 dear friends who live and work in Japan, and while we are blessed to hear they are safe, the people's needs are still great.  We're going to offer a scent of the month for the next year, and donate to the red cross for Japan relief 100% of the profits each month from those scents. 
So here's how it works you can pick any shape in the store, Circles, Hearts, Cupcakes, Lego Men, Bricks, Beach, Cherry Blossoms, Mini Hearts, Mini Rectangles, Stars.  You'll receive 2.5-3oz of soap in your shape, made fresh when you order it.  You can try out a new scent and give some love to Japan as well.

Here's where you can order:

Seeking Inspiration in Unlikely Places

Today I have that rare thing called an afternoon off.  While my sons go see a movie with grandma and grandpa, Mr. Pisces and I will be off in search of new trends and inspirations for the summer line.  First up is a trip to wine country to sample this years hot wines (we'll be looking for new fruit and scent pairing to try out).  Then to the Farmer's markets to see what new herbs and flavors can be found there.  As always we'll have a notebook in tow to take notes to bring you fresh new exciting soaps.

Sugar Scrubs - How to use em!

One of the items that has people sometimes scratching thier heads is sugar and salt scrubs.  Here's what they are not... snacks.  I know, but last time I dropped soap off at Dad's office, one of the guys tried to take a bite out of brownie soap.  Here's what you need to know to have a srubby good time.

~ Sugar scrubs can be mushy if they sit in water, so open the container, take 1 out and close it back up.

~ Take your scrub into the shower and smush it in your hands with a little water, it'll make up a paste, then rub this paste where you want some exfoliation.  Good spots are elbows, knees, heels, feet, legs pre-shaving (helps get rid of irritating ingrown hairs), and anywhere else you need extra scrubbiness.

Currently each batch of scrubs are made to order so you can choose the colors and scents you'd like from our full line.
