This is the first time since closing the shop that I have made any products. This is for an order, some of my Shampoo and Conditioner Bars. I am amazed it has taken this long, but I needed to take a break for a little bit and then try and get my house and workroom into some sort of order. Then it took about 2 hours to find all my ingredients, but finally I was able to actually get started and boy, did I actually enjoy the feeling of making my wonderful products again. Now I do still need to sort out half my workroom, but at least I have a small space to start making again. Don't forget, if you need anything, just send me a message, either via socials or text if urgent response needed. I check messages every second day or so.

Today is the final day of shop sales. And while the shop is closing, I will still be in business, just moving everything to home. So if you need anything, just message me on socials or send me a text.

Yes, this is the final week for the shop. But never fear, I will still be making all your favourites and will do the occasional 'pop-up', but in the meantime, don't forget to message me on socials (Facebook & Instagram) if you are needing any of your favourite products. Just remember, if I don't have a soap in stock, it will take 4-6 weeks to fully cure.
Any 'pop-ups' I do schedule, I will be putting up notices on socials, so stay tuned.
Last day at the shop will be on Sunday, 28 June 2026.

Last candle make for the shop. With only 6 shopping days left for the shop, I do not want a heap of things left over. So I will only be making orders from now on - and yes, half of these are for an order.

Sign is up and I am in countdown mode. I will not be making anything new (unless ordered), so whatever is on the shelves is it. Be quick as I cannot guarantee what you want will still be available. Last day shop open is Sunday 28 June 2026.

Today's packaging task. I need to package all these soaps and get them onto the shelves. I think it will take more time to label them all .... lol.
Ah the fun of making soap versus the tedious task of packaging and labelling.

I have just unmoulded the last batch of soap made in the shop....ah, I am feeling a little sad. These will probably also be the last soaps that I will package up prior to closing. They will be available mid June 2026.

It is with a heavy heart I am making this post. But it is time to say Goodbye. The shop will be closing on Sunday, 28th June 2026.
I understand that with the cost of living crisis, everyone is doing it tough. Sadly, last year sales were only 50% of previous years. This year they have been only 25% of what I used to make and there has not been one week that I have made enough in sales to pay the rent, let alone buy ingredients. So I have made the decision to close the shop. I will still be making your favourite products, so message me here and I can arrange for you to continue with the wonderful products you are used to. I may do a 'pop-up' every now and again, but I will post on here when that will be and with all the details.
I want to say a huge THANK YOU to all my wonderful loyal customers who have supported me over the 6.5 years I have been at the shop, you are truly wonderful and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
I will not be making any new products until the shop closes, so what is on the shelves are it.
So, you have 6 weeks till the shop closes to get your goodies.
I thank you all # #

Yesterday I made a small batch of Conditioner Bars as I need to reorder a couple of ingredients. But these lovely bars last so long, you will go through 3-4 shampoo bars to one conditioner bar. Packed full of lovely conditioning ingredients, they are perfect for all types of hair.

I love making these soap cookies. Not only are they fun, but smell like rich chocolate .... YUM! And yes, they are popular with the young at heart.
Off to the drying rack for 4-6 weeks.
