Our Sweet Beginnings:
Soaking in Sweetness began with the idea of making handmade spa gift baskets for Mother’s Day. From the completion of my very first bath bomb I had fallen absolutely head over heels in love with the craft and I literally couldn’t wait to make more! I continued to make bath and body products for friends and family for birthdays and holidays and I, of course, couldn’t resist making a big pile of products for myself as well!
Prior to this, I was a shower only girl, I hadn’t taken a bath in years; it just never crossed my mind and I convinced myself I was too busy anyways, but boy did that change after my first bath with the products that I had crafted! It was so peaceful and relaxing and I couldn’t believe how soft my skin felt!! I became addicted. Friday afternoons became mandatory “spa days” no matter how busy I was and I wasn’t the only one who enjoyed my spa days! My two fluffy K9 princesses, Izzy the “Bear” and Ginger the “Bee”, started taking my spa days very seriously!
A typical spa day would start by drawing my bath water and beginning to gather my bubble bars, bath bombs, salts, soaps and more. While I’m gathering my things, the Bear gets busy building her den. We have neatly folded towels in the bathroom that she pulls down from the lower shelves and mounds into a mini towel mountain which she digs through for several minutes before she is satisfied with the consistency. Once the perfect mountain is achieved, an earthquake would not be able to wake the Bear from her slumber! Meanwhile the Bee buzzes around the house to her different hidden hives, collects her squeaky plush treasures and piles them up on the bathroom floor next to the hibernating Bear. Once she is pleased with her selections she dives into her pile and begins to squeak every toy to no end! As for me, I finish loading up my bath with color, fragrance and skin loving goodness, get in, sit back, relax and listen to sounds of squeaks and snores (yes, Bear really snores….LOUDLY!). It is truly a relaxing experience.
One Friday afternoon while I was indulging in the pleasures of a pink, sparkly, bubble and shea butter filled bath, I looked over at my girls sleeping peacefully and playing to their heart’s desire and I had never felt more at peace with the world. It was a truly blissful experience and I realized that this is what heaven must be like. I remember thinking that I wished everyone could get to experience this little slice of heaven. This thought sparked a chain of ideas and plans that eventually formed into my pride and joy, Soaking in Sweetness :)
At Soaking in Sweetness, we want to share with you this bubbly slice of heaven that we have created through our products. Every recipe and every product was designed for our own personal spa days so you can rest assured knowing that they are jam packed full of skin loving goodness and free of scary ingredients that you cannot pronounce (because we can’t pronounce them either)! We are just everyday people that want to share our passion with the world. We opened our doors in the hopes that you will get to experience the bliss of bath time like we have, whether it be with snores and squeaks or candles and a good book. We urge you make the time for your own personal spa day. After all, there is only one you and you deserve it. So go head… sit back, relax and indulge yourself, resting assured knowing that you are in good hands.

We are the type of people who TRULY care about others and thrive off of making people smile. So if you have any questions, special requests, or just want to say hi, we’d love to hear from you!
