It all started in 2013 when a random find in a bookstore started a girl on a path of making her own soap. She found a recipe in that book to make one bar of soap. She went to the store, spent WAY too much money on the ingredients, and carefully measured, mixed, and poured. The instructions said to leave in a cool, dry place for four weeks, so the mold was carefully set into a closet for those four weeks. At the four-week mark, she removed the mold from the closet, went into the bathroom, and...the soap had lather!! (Cue mad scientist lightning bolts and laughter here)

That girl - ME! - absolutely fell in love with handmade soap. And found a more economical way to source ingredients than a super-expensive jar of coconut oil from the local store! Making your own means you control every ingredient that goes into the batch. I want ingredients that make my skin feel fantastic after getting out of the shower, so that means thick, creamy butters like cocoa and shea. Oils like olive, sweet almond, and avocado. And you can use fun ingredients like beer! (And drink the bottles you don't use in that batch ;)) You can have soap in every color you can imagine. And the fragrances! I can match a bar of soap to any mood, any season, any holiday.
