CHRISTMAS EXCITEMENT, Number 1018

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:14:07 -0500

$4.00
Santa is coming …. and it’s soooo exciting!!!!

This soap’s fragrance is the “quintessential scent for Christmas” according to my fragrance oil supplier!! One can smell the holiday spices (cinnamon, clove, pimento, and cardamom) with top notes of ripe fruits and a finish of vanilla and balsam fir. YUM!!!!!!! It almost sounds like you could eat it …. well, except for the balsam …. and the soap ….

These tri-color bars are smaller (2 ½ x 2 x ¾ inches) so they have a very good price point too!!!

NOTE:
The tops are heavily colored with red iron oxide so please be sure to rinse your wash cloth thoroughly … and it would probably be best not to use this soap with vintage linens. Just so you know, one could make blush-on with this particular iron oxide … it is approved for use in cosmetics (and lip products).

HOLIDAY SPIRIT, Number 1011

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:24:56 -0500

$4.00
HO HO HO!! The spirit of the holidays is here … and this fragrance is fantastic.

It smells exactly like those wonderful days and evenings of Christmas time … with cinnamon sticks brewing on the stove …. along with the beautiful aroma of a Christmas tree!!

The scalloped ribbons of color in each bar are different …. so each soap is singularly unique. They are 3 x 2 x ¾ inches in size. I cut the bars a little thinner this time, hence the excellent price point.

We wish you a jolly holiday season!!

Amaretto Liqueur Soap, Number 110

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:38:14 -0500

$4.50
Love amaretto liqueur? This soap smells just like it – all almondy smooth and delicious!

It has a flecked and marbled look due to the remilling/rebatching .... when the fragrance oils and liqueur were added. It does actually have amaretto liqueur in it!

Warm and rich – that’s this soap's scent.

Each bar is 3 x 2 x 1 inches in size.

Please Note: for external use only! Do not even think about ingesting it! You wouldn't anyway, right?! :)

Vegan
Gluten-free

Listing is for one bar.

Interesting Little Bit: Glycerin is a natural humectant. That means it attracts moisture --- which is a great thing for your skin! It helps prevent your skin from drying out! Handmade cold processed soaps are loaded with glycerin!!

Brandy Liqueur Soap with Passionfruit, Number 106

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:38:03 -0500

$4.50
The fragrance of this soap is fabulous! Passionfruit, papaya, and guava --- yet not too fruity --- very smooth! Just like the liqueur by the same name. And there's brandy in it too.

So much fun – and smells soooooo great. Even my husband loves it!!

Each bar is 3 x 2 x 1 inches.

Important: do not ingest! Intended for external use only! Of course, you already knew this!!

The liqueur and fragrance oils were added by remilling/rebatching unscented cold process soap. But the extra work is so worth it!!!

The bar has a speckled, marbled appearance --- this soap is just pure fun!!

3 x 2 x 1 inches.

Important: intended for external use only -- do not ingest. But you already knew that!! :)

$6.00
A beautiful pouch of handcrafted fragrance flowers, each rolled and hand cut into their pretty flower shapes (some are 1¼ inches in size and others are 7/8 inches) ..... there are several different shapes in each potpourri bag. Very pretty and unusual!

The flowers are placed in a white fabric bag and tied with glass pearl beads and double-sided silvery satin ribbon.

Most important is the beautiful fragrance. It is soft sweetness with florals, powders, ambers – quite complex. The same fragrance oil is used in the Heather Sachet.

The last image shows the back of the sachet. Each is slightly different due to its handmade nature.

This would be a perfect gift for a hostess or to keep in a suitcase between travels. I actually keep one in a drawer – there’s a smile with each opening!

Interesting Little Bit: “Superfatted” means the soap contains fats or oils which are not chemically changed during the process of making the soap. This means the fats are stable and remain within the soap bar. Store bought soaps are not made like this. Just so you know: all Shea Butter Soaps by Amelia’s are superfatted!

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 10:28:04 -0400

This unscented soap is made with finely grated gluten-free oatmeal which will softly remove old skin cells at the same time it cleans. Wonderfully pure and good for your skin!!

The pieces of crushed oatmeal are so pretty to see in the bar as well .… it’s more than just a plain bar of unscented soap.

It is 3 x 2 x 1 inches in size.

Interesting Little Bit: Some people are so gluten intolerant that they develop skin irritations and redness. Regular oatmeal can be produced in factories where gluten is still present and it gets incorporated into the oatmeal. If you are gluten intolerant, use oatmeal which is certified gluten-free.

Soothing and relaxing are the perfect descriptions for the fragrance of this soap! Made with lavender essential oil and touched with vanilla fragrance …. this scent translates into soft calmness. Everyone loves this aroma!

The khaki color comes from the skin safe fragrance oil rather than colorants.

$6.00
This trio of muted colors is so pretty!! And the soaps are full of organic sugar – to give a little extra attention to areas where your skin is rough. The abrasive level is fairly light …. similar to an emery board.

The fragrance oil used is “Violet” …. lovely and delicate …. light and fresh. The organic sugar gives the bars an extra sweetness also – like “Violet Sugar.”

You can actually feel the sweet almond oil added to the bars; this oil will leave your skin feeling moisturized and soft! It seems everything here is sweet!!

The top diameter of each is 1 ½ inches --- small alone, but with impact as a trio!

The color of the largest soap is always beige, while the colors of the two smaller soaps may vary, as in the pictures.

Know someone who loves to fish or sail …. or often wishes they were on the water .... or just looking at a beach?!

Ocean Deep is a fresh unisex scent, cool and watery and wonderful. Sounds like something for a man .... BUT it is amazing how much women love it!!

If you are looking for something different and without the usual florals, this fragrance is less perfumey ... with ocean, ozone, light citrus.

It’s more stormy, dangerous, and rugged. No wonder women like it too! :)

Creamy Salt Scrub, White Ginger and Amber

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 23:03:04 -0400

$5.50
This Epsom salt scrub has an overall creamy consistency .... which means it doesn’t have that hard feel of many other salt scrubs!

Even better, it comes out of the jar easily because of the soft texture .... two things which raise this salt scrub above others.

The aroma is a combination of amber, light florals, and ginger. It is a fragrance oil called White Ginger and Amber.

The scrub is full of sweet almond oil -- which is known for its wonderful skin-smoothing properties -- something very beneficial after exfoliating!

To use, gently rub the cream onto your elbows, knees, and heels before bathing. Then wipe gently with a tissue. The rest will rinse off in the shower or bath. Caution: always guard against slipping if used on your heels.

This salt scrub will loosen old skin cells from rough areas as it cleans. It’s a great way to treat yourself to some extra care. It should not be used if cuts or irritations are present on your skin however.

This is a 4 ounce jar which comes with a plain white screw on top.

Listing is for one jar.

Interesting Little Bit: Epsom salts are traditionally used for soaking tired, bruised, or aching feet and limbs. Their use is considered to be very soothing.

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 22:01:05 -0400

$4.50
Layers of color and all natural! This is a great soap ... and so healthy for your skin!

The three layers were made by incorporating tiny pieces of calendula petals in the bottom …. skin-friendly spice in the middle layer …. and very finely grated lemon in the top. The tiny bits of botanicals are too small for you to notice when using the soap and together they create the varying colors.

The fragrance comes from four citrus essential oils … and leans toward a lemon verbena scent .... very fresh and uplifting!

Rings of gold and layers of citrus stripes … very nice!

3 x 2 x 1 inches and will be shrink wrapped upon order.

Mineral Bath Soak With Pure Dead Sea Salts And Lavender Essential Oil, 6 Oz.

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 22:32:23 -0400

$5.00
natrasorbnatrasoWhat’s to know about Dead Sea Salts? And why are they supposed to be special?

Dead Sea Salts are renowned to be therapeutic in nature … which means many people believe the salts have healing properties. This belief actually goes back more than 2000 years.

The salts are derived from the Dead Sea and are very different from ocean salt.

Dead Sea Salts are full of many minerals and trace elements (mostly magnesium, potassium, and bromide) which are supposed to provide this healing capacity.

Place a handful under the stream of warm tub water and the salts will start to dissolve. It is surprising how quickly they melt in the bath water but make sure there are no hard pieces left when you sit!!

This listing contains a light amount of lavender essential oil which is considered to be anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and analgesic. Remain in the tub for 10 to 15 minutes.

Rinse and enjoy a beautiful day!

There are 6 ounces of 100% pure Dead Sea Salt in this listing. Before being added to the salts, the lavender essential oil is mixed with Natrasorb (a tapioca starch) which helps absorb and stabilize the fragrance … and also prevents the salt from clumping.

Pink Twirl, Number 615

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 22:49:44 -0400

Shrink-wrapping is done at the time of order.

Sweet White, Number 522

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 22:49:44 -0400

$4.50
This smooth white bar leaves a warm and floral impression --- a classic soap.

Its aroma is soft, not too heavily scented. The fragrance oil used is called Gardenia Lily, not to be confused with regular Gardenia oil.

With only a small hint of gardenia, this scent is gentle freshness.

Soap made with wonderful oils is so healthful and skin-loving. This bar is purity and loveliness.

3 x 2 x 1 inches in size.

It will be shrink-wrapped upon order.

Mineral Bath Soak With Pure Dead Sea Salts And Tea Tree Essential Oil, 5 Oz.

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 11:57:38 -0400

$4.00
Dead Sea Salts are thought to be therapeutic … which means many people believe the salts have skin healing properties.

They are very different from the salts in the oceans because they are full of many other minerals. These minerals are believed to improve the skin.

This listing also contains tea tree essential oil which is known for its ability to disinfect and soothe, with antifungal properties as well. People often use tea tree to relieve insect bites and stings. It is thought to calm cold symptoms and congestion by easing mucous membranes – especially when dispersed in the bath. It has a slightly medicinal aroma but is not too strong.

Place a handful under the running stream of warm bath water and the salts will dissolve quickly. After making sure there are no large pieces left to diffuse into the water, soak for 10 to 15 minutes. Many people like to rinse before leaving the bath ... but many do not.

This listing contains only 100% Pure Dead Sea Salt and tea tree essential oil. There are no other salts or additives.

Sachet of Heather Potpourri

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 11:57:38 -0400

$3.25
Lovely pockets of fragrance! A muslin bag filled with all natural potpourri, beribboned on the top, and tied with glass pearls … you have a beautiful sachet that will fill a drawer or small shelf with its beautiful aroma!!!

The fragrance oil used in this blend of potpourri is very complex … many florals, sweet powders, and a lingering amber that blends into a wonderful scent!! There are no fillers whatsoever in the botanicals … lavender, roses buds, blue larkspur and several others create the potpourri.

This sachet is so pretty!! In fact, it is too pretty to hide in a drawer!!!

The muslin bag is 3 x 5 inches when flat. It is a little over one inch thick. Due to its handmade nature, the sachet may have three rows of glass pearls.

Listing is for the sachet only.

Face Polish And Soap - Fast and Easy, ALL NATURAL, 4 Oz. Jar

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 23:00:38 -0400

$6.00
This soap and scrubbing mixture is so easy to use!

Shake two teaspoons into the palm of one hand, sprinkle with water until slightly moistened, rub hands together to work up a little lather, and gently rub on your face. Since there's soap in it, it cleans too!

That’s the beauty of this face polish …. you will be washing and exfoliating at the same time!! Rinse and repeat one to two times per week.

The soap used in this product is superfatted – which means there are oils left unchanged and in suspension within the soap after it is made. This won't "strip your face of moisture" -- as my mom used to say. This is great all the time and especially helpful after exfoliating.

This listing is made using all natural soap also. For many who are conscious of what goes onto their skin, this is very important.

The exfoliating agents are gluten-free oatmeal and cornmeal …. can’t get more natural than these!! When you open the jar, the wholesome aroma of the oatmeal is very noticeable.

The last ingredients added to this mix were essential oils and this listing was made with lavender and pink grapefruit EOs. You probably already know lavender is known for its skin healing properties and its aroma is released as the face polish gets wet and starts to foam. The scent of the grapefruit EO gives a clean, fresh, and uplifting feel ... citrus scents with lavender are lovely.
