Holiday Season!!

{Cinnamon + Coffee + Beer Soap}

The Holidays will soon be upon us and that means the busy time of the season for us artisanal soap makers. I have been in my soap kitchen a lot the past week whipping up bars of soap for family, friends and customers. I say {but maybe I'm a bit biased} that soap is the perfect holiday gift. No, it isn't a giant T.V or any electronic that may be on your wishlist, but it is a vacation. A trip to a place I like to call paradise. Depending on your taste it could be a relaxing bath with Lavender {soap or bath salts, that's up to you} or an invigorating shower with Cinnamon + Coffee + Beer soap. Whatever your choice {Citrusy, deep, energizing} it is a vacation away from the everyday. Starting your day off on a positive note can have a huge effect on the rest of your day. When I "wake up on the wrong side of the bed" nothing seems to go right for the whole day- but a shower to wash away that bad start and breathe fully for a second can turn it around in the 10 {okay, maybe 15} minutes it takes me to shower. That shower is my do-over, the saving grace of my day.


 
And....you can give that to someone for Christmas. It isn't just another present, but peace of mind. It isn't another thing to store away, but a sliver that nourishes in the cold months ahead. Speaking of cold months ahead...and the dry, possibly cracked skin that comes with it..well this is the solution. My soaps are made mostly of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Olive oil is a very moisturizing oil, drawing moisture to the skin and keeping it there {which is exactly what we need in the coming months}.

Plus, you're helping to keep the diversity of small business by buying handmade, and that says a lot. We all tend to shop at big box stores more than we should {myself included}, but by keeping "mom and pop" shops, one-woman shops, and small businesses alive, we are keeping diversity of market alive, which is very important.

So, visit my website {www.cloud9bathbody.com} to check out what's in the shop or will be soon. I'm working on stuff ever week, so there will be more to come. I'm very excited about what we're doing around here, and I hope you all are too! I'll be blogging a bit more during this time to update everyone on new products, so stick around and check back in!!
