Take the time.....

Being an independent business woman nowadays it is hard to slow down and stop.  One fundamental lesson I have learned that makes me a better person in my life is to take time out for yourself and relax.  I have learned the hard way slogging through orders trying to create new things and instead of taking a break I was on the verge of mentally collapsing.  One day looking over a my soap room mascot Mr. Frosty Pawz he was lounging away with the most content look on his face and I thought that's what I want to be like.  So again taking a cue from Mother Nature I took time out and haven't stopped resting my mind, spirit and body.  Life to too fast paced as it is, so please take the time for yourself. 

Here is a special quote I will always remember "Life is not worth living, said the butterfly unless one has sunshine, freedom and a little flower."

Mother Nature's Little Gifts

It's amazing to me, when you least expect it, Mother Nature will show up on your doorstep with a little surprise. This little guy was just having a little feast by our patio door the other night on moths etc. I was actually a little shocked looking at him barely an inch this little froggie looked more like he should be in a tropical jungle than in Canada. This brings me to thinking, we should all take the time stop and look around at our surroundings, life is so fast paced that we need to slow down and get back to nature. Take the time and enjoy.

I love these Witchy-Poo Potholders from deersprite. Why not get into the Halloween mood with these beauties. Machine washable which I love, made for even the messiest witches. You can find deersprite at deersprite.etsy.com

Bubble Tub Made it to the front page!!!

Wow I was thrilled to learn Bubble Tub made it to the front page of etsy. Our Passionate Peach Lip Balm was featured on the front page. If you aren't familiar with etsy, it is a wonderful place where artists from all over the world gather to sell, talk, and share their creative juices and crafts.
Our store on etsy can be located at bubbletub.etsy.com

It's been awhile....

I am finally getting back into grinding the soap wheels again after a terrible bout of vertigo. All is not lost it gave me lots of time to create, think and create some more.

This cool Halloween Soap "Candy Corn Carnival" was one of those whimsical creations. Scented with yummy candy corn fragrance and topped off with black soap curls and a pumpkin eraser this is sure to clean off the dirtiest goblins!

The view from inside a Soaper's Paradise

I thought I'd give your all a glimpse of what it is like inside my domain. Here is the wall of fragrance it has to be in alphabetical order other wise I am lost. I must have over a 1000 bottles of you name it I have it :) There are so many bottles you don't see.

I would also like to introduce you all to our soaping mascot Mr. FrostyPawz, he is my prince but watch out if you miss his feeding times he turns into Mr, Nasty Mountain Lion aka Mr. Destructor LOL. He is now 4 and a 8 pd handful he puts my Bernese dog in his place, hard to believe an 8pd cat could rule a 100pd dog.

Well, I have to go shovel the snow again! We are getting blasted today.

Cheers everyone, stay safe.
