Cinnamon Spice, one natural palm beeswax pillar, great for banishing household odors

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 00:51:17 -0500

$20.00
Our Cinnamon Spice blend is a comforting pairing of warm spices (cinnamon and cloves), a bit of Texas cedar, and a touch of vanilla--this works well to cover kitchen odors. It is scented with pure essential oils with less than 2% of high quality fragrance oils added to anchor the blend and significantly increase the scent throw.

We use only quality ingredients. Our palm wax is harvested from sustainable farms. The palm is mixed with natural beeswax that is obtained from a local bee farm. All of our scents are created from blending pure essential oils. The elimination of jar containers equals less waste in transportation and disposal of spent jars, meaning less of an environmental impact.

Palm and beeswax burn clean. Beeswax has been used for centuries and it can actually clean the air as it burns. As long as the wicks are properly maintained, you will have a long-lasting, clean burning candle.

We have crafted our palm pillars to be easily transportable. There is no glass to break and they have a high melting point, to help insure that the candles keep their artisan appearance from our house to yours!

Best of all, you will have a great smelling candle that is a responsible purchase! Buying our palm pillars is good for you, good for the environment, and it helps children in need!

There will be some wax left when your wick reaches the bottom. Allowing a shell to remain as the candle burns down is what gives our candles their beautiful, unique, glow. To get the most out of your candle, you can use a candle warmer or tart burner with the rest of the wax. Simply break a piece from the shell and put it in the bowl of a warmer. You can continue to scent your home and lift your mood! After several uses or when the scent dissipates, just throw away the cooled wax and break off another piece.

*Pillars are 15 oz. (425 grams) each and 4" tall by 3" wide. When properly cared for they will burn for over 60 hours each.

Bag of Coal soap, sweet anisette, naughty or nice stocking stuffer

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 00:50:45 -0500

$10.00
This is the perfect stocking stuffer or gag gift for those whom you know who have been a bit mischievous this year--a bag of coal with the "Naughty", of "Naughty or Nice" checked!

We have hand stamped small muslin bags and filled each with 4 very realistic pieces of "coal". Each bag contains a hand cut bar of our sweet anisette activated charcoal soap.

Sweet Anisette has become one of our most popular soaps. It is a wonderfully mild, yet deep cleansing bar. Here are some customer comments about this particular bar:

"Naturally I came back again for the Travel Bars and Sweet Anisette bars. The Sweet Anisette is probably the BEST facial soap I've ever used! Thanks for making them, Wendy. They're worth every penny."

"I received this soap in the mail a week ago (super quick shipment!) and it's amazing. It smells and feels wonderful! Even my boyfriend started using it and has been asking about what other soaps you have. Plus there was a free sample of the very soap I wanted to try next! A+"

"Amazing product--smells fantastic and my skin looks terrific after only using it once. Great customer service. Thank you!"

Each bag is 5" x 6" and contains approximately 6 oz. of soap.

Ultimate Travel Bar excellent for skin, hair, and scalp, one large 6 oz. bar

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 00:50:45 -0500

$7.00
Our Ultimate Travel Bar--w/ neem oil, tamanu oil, jojoba oil, kaolin clay, and all sorts of other goodies that make it the perfect shampoo and body bar. Neem oil is know in India as "nature's pharmacy". It is soothing and healing to almost any skin condition, including: psoriasis, eczema, ring worm, and poison ivy. Tamanu oil has very similar antimicrobial and antiseptic properties, while still being extremely soothing and gentle. We have also added a good portion of white kaolin clay, so this makes an excellent shaving soap, as well. If you are feeling adventurous (or trying to only bring a carry on), this works well as a tooth soap, too. It is 100% natural with no added fragrance oils or dyes.

If using this for a shampoo bar, an excellent rinse is 1/2 organic apple cider vinegar and 1/2 water. You can mix them in a spray bottle and spritz away. Massage in your hair and scalp and then rinse. It will leave your hair shiny and full.

This is a hefty hand-cut bar of soap, weighing between 5 and 7 oz (142-200 grams). It is approximately 3 1/4" by 1 3/4". It is chunky in shape, so it won't thin out and break in the middle after continued use.

It has been cured for atleast 4 weeks to ensure a hard, long lasting bar. If it is kept in a proper soap dish and drained well between uses, it will hold up through many, many baths, showers, and hand washings—no messy, gooey, melting bars here!

These bars are also loaded with cocoa butter, which makes rich, moisturizing bubbles. We do not need to add any artificial foaming agents (ie. SLS). The natural glycerin is retained in each bar, and the combination of rich oils and moisturizing, protective butters, provides loads of fluffy lather.

We make soap the old fashioned way combining olive oil, coconut oil, organic palm kernal oil, rice bran oil, castor oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter with sodium hydroxide, also known as lye. The sodium hydroxide reacts with the oils and the whole gooey mess turns into a rich, emollient soap. Pretty nifty, huh?

If you have tried natural soap before and found that it either dried your skin, or turned to mush, give one of our bars a try! We don’t sell anything that we don’t first enjoy bathing with ourselves! If you’ve never tried handmade soap before, you don’t even know what you are missing. Commercial “soap” is filled with detergents, hardening agents, and perfumes and is not really soap at all. Pamper yourself a bit and give one of our bars a try. Your skin will thank you for it!

Orange Blossom sweet, refreshing, hand felted BIG 6 oz. bar

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 00:50:30 -0500

$12.00
This is made by my 10 year old son, Ben. He has taken one of my orange blossom soap bars and felted it with a wonderful 100% wool roving from FancyTiger (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=60275). It is 5.5 ounces and approximately 3 x 2 x 1.5 inches. This listing is for the orange and red bar in the second picture.

It is like a wonderful, natural wash cloth and soap bar in one! As you use it, the soap slowly disappears while the wool gently exfoliates your skin.

When your soap is gone, you have a nice, little, sweet smelling ball to subtly scent a draw or cabinet.

It will be tied with twine with an ingredient label attached, as shown in the last photo.

Chocolate Covered, organic cocoa sugar scrub, a real treat

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 11:37:21 -0500

$18.00
This is my newest creation!

We have combined organic cane sugar to exfoliate, cocoa butter, extra virgin organic coconut oil, and jojoba oil to seal in moisture and our wonderful natural
scent blend to stimulate your senses! The result is a rich, sweet, incredible concoction that is wonderfully pampering!

The combination of each of these ingredients is a real treat for your skin. It is a lighter formula than most sugar scrubs, and will not leave your skin (or your tub) with such an oily residue. When you towel off after your bath/shower, your skin will be perfectly hydrated and protected for the day!

This is a wonderful sugar scrub that is perfect for exfoliating dry winter skin. Use in the bath or shower on clean skin. Dry hands and scoop a heaping tablespoon
or two of body scrub into the palm of your hand. Avoid sensitive areas, including your face. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. The oils will be absorbed by your skin
and the unrefined cocoa butter and the organic jojoba oil will leave a thin protective barrier to hold in moisture.

This would make a wonderful gift for any chocolate lover, or just a special treat for yourself!

Be careful as your tub may be slippery.

approx. 10 oz. in recyclable amber plastic jar
Suggested use: 1 to 2 times per week
Shelf life: 6 months

Contains: Organic jojoba oil, organic unrefined cocoa butter, rice bran oil, organic cane sugar, locally sourced coffee, essential oils, and silver citrate
(a natural preservative).

List which 3 scents you want in the message to seller at checkout.

We use only quality ingredients. Our palm wax is harvested from sustainable farms. The palm is mixed with natural beeswax that is obtained from a local bee farm. All of our scents are created from blending pure essential oils. We have added 1-4% of high quality fragrance oils to 4 of our blends to either stabilize the blend or to drastically reduce the cost. The elimination of jar containers equals less waste in transportation and disposal of spent jars, meaning less of an environmental impact.

Palm and beeswax burn clean. Beeswax has been used for centuries and it can actually clean the air as it burns. As long as the wicks are properly maintained, you will have a long-lasting, clean burning candle.

Best of all, you will have a great smelling candle that is a responsible purchase! Buying our palm pillars is good for you, good for the environment, and it helps children in need!

There will be some wax left when your wick reaches the bottom. Allowing a shell to remain as the candle burns down is what gives our candles their beautiful, unique, glow. To get the most out of your candle, you can use a candle warmer or tart burner with the rest of the wax. Simply break a piece from the shell and put it in the bowl of a warmer. You can continue to scent your home and lift your mood! After several uses or when the scent dissipates, just throw away the cooled wax and break off another piece.

*Pillars are 15 oz. (425 grams) each and 4" tall by 3" wide. When properly cared for they will burn for over 60 hours each.

Sweet Anisette, BIG bar of natural soap, nourishing and gently cleansing with activated charcoal

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:24:47 -0500

$7.00
This bar is scented only with natural essential oils--star anise essential oil and a touch of rich vanilla essential oil. It looks and smells like a wonderful licorice pastille! We have added activated charcoal to make this a super effective facial soap. It also works well to help alleviate the clogged pores that lead to bumps on arms and legs that can appear in the warmer summer months. Let the fluffy lather sit on your skin for a few seconds before rinsing off. The activated charcoal is believed to have a large adsorptive capacity, drawing toxins from your skin and rinsing away impurities. Because of the dark color, it may discolor light washcloths.

This is a hefty hand-cut bar of soap, weighing between 5 and 7 oz (142-200 grams). It is approximately 3 1/4" by 1 3/4". It is chunky in shape, so it won't thin out and break in the middle after continued use.

It has been cured for at least 4 weeks to ensure a hard, long lasting bar. If it is kept in a proper soap dish and drained well between uses, it will hold up through many, many baths, showers, and hand washings—no messy, gooey, melting bars here!

Our bars are loaded with shea and cocoa butters and have abundant rich, moisturizing bubbles. We do not need to add any artificial foaming agents (ie. SLS). The natural glycerin is retained in each bar, and the combination of rich oils and moisturizing, protective butters, provides loads of fluffy lather.

We make soap the old fashioned way combining olive oil, coconut oil, organic palm kernal oil, rice bran oil, castor oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter with sodium hydroxide, also known as lye. The sodium hydroxide reacts with the oils and the whole gooey mess turns into a rich, emollient soap. Pretty nifty, huh?

If you have tried natural soap before and found that it either dried your skin, or turned to mush, give one of our bars a try! We don’t sell anything that we don’t first enjoy bathing with ourselves! If you’ve never tried handmade soap before, you don’t even know what you are missing. Commercial “soap” is filled with detergents, hardening agents, and perfumes and is not really soap at all. Pamper yourself a bit and give one of our bars a try. Your skin will thank you for it!

Lemon Tea, one natural palm/beeswax pillar candle, lemongrass, bitter almond essential oils

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:48:26 -0500

$20.00
This is the perfect pick-me-up scent--energizing, clean lemongrass essential oil (eo) is combined with helichrysum eo and just a tad of smooth, rich bitter almond eo. Our lemon tea blend is all natural and scented purely with essential oils.

We use only quality ingredients. Our palm wax is harvested from sustainable farms. The palm is mixed with natural beeswax that is obtained from a local bee farm. All of our scents are created from blending pure essential oils. The elimination of jar containers equals less waste in transportation and disposal of spent jars, meaning less of an environmental impact.

Palm and beeswax burn clean. Beeswax has been used for centuries and it can actually clean the air as it burns. As long as the wicks are properly maintained, you will have a long-lasting, clean burning candle.

We have crafted our palm pillars to be easily transportable. There is no glass to break and they have a high melting point, to help insure that the candles keep their artisan appearance from our house to yours!

Best of all, you will have a great smelling candle that is a responsible purchase! Buying our palm pillars is good for you, good for the environment, and it helps children in need!

There will be some wax left when your wick reaches the bottom. Allowing a shell to remain as the candle burns down is what gives our candles their beautiful, unique, glow. To get the most out of your candle, you can use a candle warmer or tart burner with the rest of the wax. Simply break a piece from the shell and put it in the bowl of a warmer. You can continue to scent your home and lift your mood! After several uses or when the scent dissipates, just throw away the cooled wax and break off another piece.

*Pillars are 15 oz. (425 grams) each and 4" tall by 3" wide. When properly cared for they will burn for over 60 hours each.

**8.25% sales tax will be added to purchases shipped within the state of Texas**

She has taken one of my almond honey and oats soap bars and felted it with a wonderful 100% wool roving from FancyTiger (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=60275). It is 5.5 ounces and approximately 3 x 2 x 1.5 inches. This listing is for the dark grey and blue bar--on the bottom right in the first picture.

It is like a wonderful, natural wash cloth and soap bar in one! As you use it, the soap slowly disappears while the wool gently exfoliates your skin.

$28.00
This scarf is crocheted by my 12 year old son, Sam. He is a rambunctious, rowdy, football loving guy, but in an attempt to keep his idle hands busy, I taught him how to crochet. He went crazy and has crocheted more scarves than he has aunts and grandmas and friends to give them to!

This scarf is a pretty cotton silk blend. It is 62 inches long and 2 5/8 inches wide. I would recommend hand washing and laying flat to dry to keep the beauty of the wonderful fibers intact.

If you need to just "chill", then this is the candle for you! This blend is 98% natural, using pure essential oils almost exclusively as scent. Less than 2% of high quality fragrance oils are added so that we don't have to rely on endangered natural sandalwood for the deep woody notes.

Old Hippie blend of patchouli and sandalwood, natural cold process soap

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:32:47 -0500

$7.00
Our Old Hippie scent blend is my rendition of the popular incense of the 60’s and 70’s. It is a woodsy, rich blend of amyris and patchouli, with base notes of sandalwood and top notes of orange blossom--positively captivating!. If you need to just "chill", then this is the scent for you! This blend is 98% natural, using pure essential oils almost exclusively as scent. Less than 2% of high quality fragrance oils are added so that we don't have to rely on endangered natural sandalwood for the deep woody notes.

This is a hefty hand-cut bar of soap, weighing between 5 and 7 oz (142-200 grams). It is approximately 3 1/4" by 1 3/4". It is chunky in shape, so it won't thin out and break in the middle after continued use.

It has been cured for atleast 4 weeks to ensure a hard, long lasting bar. If it is kept in a proper soap dish and drained well between uses, it will hold up through many, many baths, showers, and hand washings—no messy, gooey, melting bars here!

Our bars are loaded with shea and cocoa butters and have abundant rich, moisturizing bubbles. We do not need to add any artificial foaming agents (ie. SLS). The natural glycerin is retained in each bar, and the combination of rich oils and moisturizing, protective butters, provides loads of fluffy lather.

We make soap the old fashioned way combining organic olive oil, coconut oil, organic palm kernal oil, rice bran oil, castor oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter with sodium hydroxide, also known as lye. The sodium hydroxide reacts with the oils and the whole gooey mess turns into a rich, emollient soap. Pretty nifty, huh?

If you have tried natural soap before and found that it either dried your skin, or turned to mush, give one of our bars a try! We don’t sell anything that we don’t first enjoy bathing with ourselves! If you’ve never tried handmade soap before, you don’t even know what you are missing. Commercial “soap” is filled with detergents, hardening agents, and perfumes and is not really soap at all. Pamper yourself a bit and give one of our bars a try. Your skin will thank you for it!

Palm and beeswax burn clean. Beeswax has been used for centuries and it can actually clean the air as it burns. As long as the wicks are properly maintained, you will have a long-lasting, clean burning candle.

We have crafted our palm pillars to be easily transportable. There is no glass to break and they have a high melting point, to help insure that the candles keep their artisan appearance from our house to yours!

Best of all, you will have a great smelling candle that is a responsible purchase! Buying our palm pillars is good for you, good for the environment, and it helps children in need!

There will be some wax left when your wick reaches the bottom. Allowing a shell to remain as the candle burns down is what gives our candles their beautiful, unique, glow. To get the most out of your candle, you can use a candle warmer or tart burner with the rest of the wax. Simply break a piece from the shell and put it in the bowl of a warmer. You can continue to scent your home and lift your mood! After several uses or when the scent dissipates, just throw away the cooled wax and break off another piece.

*Pillars are 15 oz. (425 grams) each and 4" tall by 3" wide. When properly cared for they will burn for over 60 hours each.

Unscented Honey and Oats, one BIG, skin loving, mild, cold process bar of real soap

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:06:51 -0500

$7.00
This incredibly mild, nourishing bar is packed with all natural goodness! Our Unscented--Honey & Oats bar is 100% natural with no added fragrances or dyes. Oatmeal is mildly exfoliating and soothing to itchy or irritated skin. Honey has powerful antimicrobial properties and is a natural antiseptic. The addition of oatmeal and honey makes a virtual buffet for your skin! It has a very faint, sweet oats smell. This is a great bar for all skin types.

This is a hefty hand-cut bar of soap, weighing between 5 and 7 oz (142-200 grams). It is approximately 3 1/4" by 1 3/4". It is chunky in shape, so it won't thin out and break in the middle after continued use.

It has been cured for atleast 4 weeks to ensure a hard, long lasting bar. If it is kept in a proper soap dish and drained well between uses, it will hold up through many, many baths, showers, and hand washings—no messy, gooey, melting bars here!

Our bars are loaded with shea and cocoa butters and have abundant rich, moisturizing bubbles. We do not need to add any artificial foaming agents (ie. SLS). The natural glycerin is retained in each bar, and the combination of rich oils and moisturizing, protective butters, provides loads of fluffy lather.

We make soap the old fashioned way combining olive oil, coconut oil, organic palm kernal oil, rice bran oil, castor oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter with sodium hydroxide, also known as lye. The sodium hydroxide reacts with the oils and the whole gooey mess turns into a rich, emollient soap. Pretty nifty, huh?

If you have tried natural soap before and found that it either dried your skin, or turned to mush, give one of our bars a try! We don’t sell anything that we don’t first enjoy bathing with ourselves! If you’ve never tried handmade soap before, you don’t even know what you are missing. Commercial “soap” is filled with detergents, hardening agents, and perfumes and is not really soap at all. Pamper yourself a bit and give one of our bars a try. Your skin will thank you for it!
