Jasmine Jubilee Handmade Soap

Today I am making my Jasmine Jubilee Soap.  I love the smell of fresh Jasmine.  When I decided to create this soap many years ago I searched all over to find the perfect Jasmine.  It literally took me 6 months to find the oil I wanted to use to create this soap.  Since I couldn't afford to travel at that time to find my own Jasmine I ordered samples from all over.  I had samples arriving every week from India, the Phillipines, China, etc.  The winning Jasmine came from India after many months of smelling I fell in love with this oil and created my Jasmine Jubilee soap (pictured below)



The photo below is of a Jasmine flower in India.  They look quite simple, but put off an aroma that is to die for!



Once I had this oil in my hands I worked for many more months coming up with the color and design of my Jasmine Jubilee Soap.  I find in the Summer people tend to like floral soap more and lately Jasmine has been one of my most popular soaps.  I'm not complaining about that since my home is now filled with this aroma ;-) So I just wanted to say thank you for all of you that have been ordering this soap as it is one of my favorites to make and I love when my home smells so delicious.

Chai Tea anyone?

Today I've been whipping up a batch of Chai Tea soap.  I absolutely love the spicy aroma that fills the air when I make this soap.  It is also one of my favorite soaps to use in the winter time as it is very warming and the cinnamon contained in it works as a great exfoliator for dry skin.

I use an orange essential oil from Florida in the soap, the cinnamon oil is from Sri Lanka and the clove oil is from Madagascar.  I searched for the top oils to use in this soap for years and now have a solid supply to continue creating the Chai Tea soap. 

Alot of people comment when they smell my soaps that they want to eat them and this one is one that I almost have to hold myself back from taking a bite out of.  It smells so delicious.  The spicy aroma reminds me of the holiday season or fall.  You can find this soap at my Etsy store or my website if you would like to purchase it.  This one is definitely FRESHLY MADE!  All of my soaps can be stored up to 2 years if kept in an airtight container.

The Perfect Valentine Soap

With Valentine's just around the corner, I thought I might suggest which one of my soaps I feel best fits Valentine's Day. I have always felt the Lilac Rose soap is the most romantic and precious of my soaps. So if you're looking for something sweet to give your sweetie this Valentine's look no further, you've found the perfect soap.
