Updates Everywhere!

I've posted what seems like a kajillion new items to the website - added some missing pictures, and have even put together the Toddler Set and a Pamper Me! Selection just in time for Valentine's Day. I also can't think of a better way to be pampered than to have a Pedi Perfect Combo with a pair of Soft & Dreamy Socks to lounge around in. Now only if Johnny Depp were available to rub the Pedi Perfect Foot Cream into my tired tootsies. Hubba Hubba!

Toddler Soap

I thought my little dude needed some of his own soap - so I blinged this batch out Toddler-Style to try to help the littl'uns get the right idea about getting clean. Bright and shiny, this bar soap is made with Shea Butter and Oatmeal - designed specifically to be gentle to that oh so baby soft skin. It is fragranced in Sleepytime - a great blend of lavender and chamomile, not at all unlike a certain brand of bedtime baby wash that we've come to enjoy and appreciate at our house. When this soap is ready - mid February or so - I plan to offer it along with a matching lotion and bubble bath as a set. I'm hoping that it'll encourage the little dude to enjoy his bath all that much more, and he'll smell great when he cuddles for ninites after his bath. Of course, its great for adults too, who doesn't enjoy a nice, hot relaxing bath as the scent of lavender and chamomile help you drift off to sleepyland.

Watch for it all coming soon!

The latest creations from the Crazy Soapy World


I just thought I'd take a moment to share the pictures of what's coming up in the next couple of weeks. Heavenessence on the left is curing happily and will available soon, so keep an eye on the website! It smells great.

On the right is yesterday's Cucumber & Melon. It turned out just like I had envisioned, yay! Its smelling up my entire dining room right now, I can't believe its so sweet and fruity. It'll be ready in about 3 weeks.

Tomorrow, watch for pictures of the new Toddler Soap. Its very cute! My toddler likes a lot of bling so you can imagine that it'll be very vibrant, giving the little kiddies some fun in the tub!

Updated pricing - better for everyone!

For those of you who watch the site regularly you may have noticed that I've been reworking the inventory a bit. Some fragrances have disappeared, new ones are showing up every week. This is my effort to comply with my fragrance listing that I posted a couple of weeks ago. The Heavenessence soap is curing, look for it around the end of the month along with lotions and body spray to match! Slated to make this week is a sweet and fruity cucumber & melon bar soap, as well as getting a jump on my toddler line - lotion, bubble bath and a bar soap. Look for the toddler goodies around the middle to end of February!

My 8oz lotions will soon be coming in a pretty tabletop pump bottle that should look fantastic on your kitchen counter, beside the bed or on your bathroom counter. I hope to be able to get photos posted fairly quickly, but don't be put off by the lack of pictures on the website for the new items. I'm not moving as quickly as I used to these days it seems!

Also keep an eye out for other candle fragrances - you know I'll make just about anything in any fragrance, just ask! I hope you enjoy what I have planned for this spring and summer as much as I enjoy making it for you!

Oh yeah, this was supposed to be about the pricing. I've dropped prices on several items. Some due to using a better formula or recipe, and some because I just love you all so much. You'll notice that the bar soaps are now $4 each or 3 for $10. I also still have a pile of stuff in the clearance section. Its not old or bad, its just winter fragrances and this warm weather makes me crave spring and summer things!

Introducing Soy Spa Candles



Bodyluxe by Shawna is now creating hand poured Soy Spa Candles. These adorable candles are made in silver tins with a clear window lid on top. They will be sold in all of the favorite fragrances, a perfect item for your "me time" whether it be in the bath or shower, or relaxing in bed with your honey after a long day at work.

These candles are made from soy wax, a USA grown renewable resource. Soy wax burns cleaner than paraffin and lasts just as long, if not longer. Because it has a lower melting point, a larger burn pool is created with these candles - releasing more of those great fragrances you love into the air.

Each candle weighs about 5 ozs, and comes in a silver metal tin with a pretty bow on top. It should burn between 20 and 30 hours, for your olfactory enjoyment.

If you have any favorite fragrances, don't be afraid to ask - I'll gladly pour a candle for you! Candles make great Valentine's Day gifts along with a bottle of her favorite wine and a box of chocolate!
