Product Spotlight - Cold Weather Care

There's no doubt about it, the weather everywhere around is turning cold. With the ritual freeze of winter, along comes dry, cracked skin and painful chapped lips. Since I haven't yet figured out how to bottle sunshine from summertime to share during the freeze, I've come up with a couple of products that will save your skin this winter.

Silk & Shea Luxury Lotion is a great all over solution. This fantabulous lotion is made with both shea butter AND shea oil, as well as silk protein for truly pampered skin. The oils will go deep to help combat the winter uglies, and this lotion has a pleasant, light, neutral scent. Silk & Shea Luxury Lotion comes in both a large 8oz size as well as a smaller 2oz purse and pocket size. As always, the Silk & Shea Luxury Lotion, as well as everything else I make, is my own recipe - researched heavily and tested in my own house extensively.

Don't forget your pucker power, too! 100% Natural Lipluxe Balm is great for the lips. It goes on light and smooth, with just a touch of peppermint tingle. Each tube seems to last for ages, and I've been told its the best lip balm out there.

You can find Royal Gifts in both Old Fashioned Bar Soap and LiquiGel Soap while supplies last.

Hopefully this will work properly and we'll have orders flying out again through the web store.. feel free to order for family and friends, I'll add in a complimentary card reading that the gift was chosen for the receiver and list your name. :)

Happy Shopping!

Fall is Falling All Around Us

Well, its that time of year. The temperatures aren't quite scorching here on the sunny South Plains any longer, and heck, I've even been able to open the doors and windows for a nice breeze a few times.

That means we're headed into Fall. Autumn. The season before Winter. I love this time of year, and all of the scents and memories that it invokes. Everything from jumping in piles of crunchy leaves to the first snow to the smell of a fire in the fireplace.

Especially for fall I have a few new fragrances soaped up already and a few yet to come. Grandma's Apple Pie leads off the list, and boy will it make you drool. Next up is Enchanting Jasmine and finally for this update, Winter Wonderland. Start thinking about your up and coming holiday plans and parties, and make sure to have a few great soaps handy to give as gifts to your party hosts and hostesses, or contact me about a custom soap log to cut and give to everyone you know as holiday gifts.

Happy Birthday Bodyluxe by Shawna!

Happy Birthday to Bodyluxe by Shawna!

Believe it or not, these adorable cupcakes are made of handmade soap. Hand poured and decorated with the same love (and recipe!) that goes into the Old Fashioned Bar Soap, these soap cupcakes were created in honor of Bodyluxe by Shawna's business birthday.

The soap cupcakes are not made from a premade soap base, but from my own Old Fashioned Bar Soap recipe. Even the frosting and sprinkles are handmade soap!

Take home a cupcake today - its quite the conversation piece. Just don't leave it in the kitchen or someone may come out blowing bubbles after looking for an afternoon snack. :P

These soap cupcakes are unique gifts and available in limited quantities. They are for sale on the Bodyluxe by Shawna website, and will be featured at this month's Downtown Art Market and Bodyluxe by Shawna's Invitational Birthday Party.

If you'd like to have custom soap cupcakes made for your next party or event, please contact Shawna by email: bodyluxe@gmail.com for prices and customization options.

Silk & Shea Luxury Lotion is as close to 100% natural as possible. Feel the difference between natural ingredients and man-made chemical moisturizers today.

The new Silk & Shea Luxury Lotion is now available and will be featured at the Downtown Art Market this weekend, as well as the Bodyluxe by Shawna Invitational Birthday Party.

Soap is an Art Form

I just wanted to take a moment to share with you some thoughts I've been having lately about soaping and how my business is run.

To me, my soap is an art form. I put loving care in creating the recipes from scratch - balancing the oils using my knowledge of chemistry to make a finished product that is great for your skin type. I don't just mix a bunch of stuff into a pot and dump it into a mold and hope for the best. I choose the best colors for the fragrance, swirl or pattern it to what I see in my mind's eye, just like an artist would paint on a canvas or sculpt a lump of clay.

I will not be out there competing with other soap makers at the markets and fairs. As much as I'd love to see my soap in everyone's household and loved by everyone who uses it, I will never mass market, and I will also never treat the art market as though as it is a flea market. I will never annoy a friend or potential consumer of my products as "just another sale" and I will never annoy you until you purchase a bar of my soap.

It is not my goal to underbid, outsell or otherwise inhibit anyone else who enjoys the arts as I do. We're in this together and I make soap because it makes me happy. I sell soap simply because I know it makes others happy... (and because my shelves would be way too full otherwise).

Thanks for listening.

Flutter-by Soap - Limited Edition

May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond. ~Irish Blessing

Out of misfortune comes another wonderful inspired soap. Flutter-by Soap is a limited edition soap in Citrus Zing, perfect for summer. Pick up one of these pretty little butterflies for your bathroom today! I will have them with me at the Downtown Art Market if they make it that far, there are only 10 of them to be had. If you'd like to reserve one, place an order through the Bodyluxe by Shawna website or email me.

Market Time's a-comin'!

Its just about "that time of the month" again. No, not that.. eew.

Its Downtown Art Market time! Wahoo! I'll be bringing with me the much coveted Tropical Coconut Old Fashioned Bar Soap and Moistureluxe Lotion. There's nothing better when you're right out of the pool (except maybe a pina colada.. one for each hand!)

Unfortunately due to the wonderfully sun-baked temperatures we've been having, I will be at the market sans candles or bath candy. They'll just flat out melt. If you are interested in bath candy or a candle, please send me an email or message and I'll make sure to bring what you need in a cooler. Otherwise, it'll be soaps, lotions and gel scents this month... maybe the lip balm if it'll be under about 100 degrees.

I'm also thinking about working up a massage bar that's sort of like a solid body butter to rub on after a shower or to be rubbed by your loved one. If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, please let me know.

I hope to see everyone there at the market, come visit me and say hi. The farmers will be bringing more fresh local produce too, June officially kicks off the Farmer's Market season around here. Mmmmm.. food.

Also, if you partake in the Facebook addiction like I do, then come like the Bodyluxe by Shawna Facebook page. I'm hoping to post some good coupons and special events there especially for fans and friends.

New Display!

I'm proud to announce that I've successfully built a new display for the next Art Market or Home Party setup. Its taken me a couple of weeks to do but it's sturdy and just like I pictured it! Now I just need to find some fabric or paint to do up the shelves with. But for now, I unveil to you *drumroll* - the new display!

Ta-Da!!!

Soap sniffing will be so much easier as the shelves keep everything sorted by fragrance and much less cluttered looking on the table. There is a sample bar in the front to sniff, and then the soaps to purchase are boxed up right behind it. Above the soaps are the matching lotions. Woohoo!

Come see me at the June Downtown Art Market on June 12th to see the new setup in action, and snag some wonderful soaps and lotions for yourself!

What's in the Soap Pot - May

Here's the latest soap pot update:

I've been doing some cleaning of my shelves. Keep an eye out for some soaps on clearance for a mere $1.25 a bar. I'll have them listed soon. They're perfectly good imperfect soaps. Some of them are just plain ugly, some of them I've discontinued in order to streamline my fragrance choices, and some of them have little scratches or dents, or are shaped differently than my new packaging.

Now, on to the new stuff! These soaps will all be ready by the 2nd weekend in June. Drumroll please....



Tropical Coconut - Tropical Coconut is great, where did I leave my pina colada? It smells quite a lot like the coconut scented tanning oil. There will be matching lotion, bath candy and candles to go with this soap.






Day Spa - The fresh clean scent of green tea crashes into a light citrus to put a little perk into your step. This soap will have a matching lotion available as well as bath candy.






Sleepytime - Sleepytime is a blend of lavender and chamomile and smells a lot like that name brand bedtime bath for babies. This soap will also have a matching lotion and bath candy.



Watch for these new soaps on the website in the next few weeks, and keep your eyes peeled for them at the art market on June 12th. Now is the time to stock up for fabulous summertime skin!

Its in the Box!

I wanted a more uniform packaging for my soaps, so I've now gone to an elegant soap box for packaging. Nestled inside is the same wonderful OldFashioned Bar Soap as before, it is just tucked away for safe keeping. This will in turn help me clean up my market display as well, making it easier to feature my soaps and much more convenient for you to sniff, shop and gift.

Enjoy!

Inspiration... where it all comes from

I've been asked what my inspiration is for doing what I do... honestly, its a combination of things.

First, I'm a science geek at heart. Chemistry was my favorite class. To be in control of putting oils and emulsifiers together to make lotion, or to be in charge of adding fats to lye to make soap is just so very exciting to me. I love doing the research on a specialty recipe, and knowing the hows and whys of the way things are.

Secondly, I do have a bit of an artsy craftsy streak in me. I am terrible at drawing, even my stick figures look deformed. However, I have managed to make some fabulous soaps to date, and swirls seem to be my forte.

I also love to help others. If I know that what I do brings a smile to a loved one's face, or helps a child's itchy rash, then it was all worth it in the end. Knowing that somehow, even little ol me can make a difference really keeps me going.

I dream my soap. If I've made it, its because I saw it in a dream usually. The patterns, techniques and fragrance blends come to me when I relax. This is my passion, my art. Its not a business for an income at all. I do this because I love it, and I hope that you will love it too.

Missing some soap?

A partial bag of soap was left behind from the Bodyluxe by Shawna booth at today's art market - if you or someone you know is missing part of what was purchased please email me (bodyluxe@gmail.com) or contact Larry @ the Tornado Gallery. I'd hate for mom to miss out on her gift! :)

Playing Catch Up

Here's some pictures of what's been in the soap pot this month:

Left: Black Raspberry & Vanilla
Right: Tiger Lily








Lilac Breeze








These will all be ready for the May Downtown Art Market. Coming soon: Tropical Coconut!

What's in the Soap Pot? April Edition

So far this month I've made 2 batches of soap for the May market - Tiger Lily and Black Raz. I had intended to get the lilac restocked as well but ran out of fragrance, so it may not make it for May, but it'll be along shortly, as I'm awaiting a shipment of supplies as we speak.

I've been a bit slack in getting the blog up to date, but honestly its because I've been trying to restock all the wonderful soaps, lotions and other products that keep selling out during the Art Market. I hope to see everyone there the 2nd Saturday of May!

Keep an eye on this space for more to come in the not so distant future... I'll do better, I promise!

Its Downtown Art Market Time!

Hope to see you all there tomorrow at the Downtown Art Market. There's sure to be lots of great goodies to be seen and had.

The market is from 9am to 3pm and is located at 19th St and Buddy Holly, across from Triple J's.

Come visit me and pick up a new bar of soap or some wonderful lotion. :)

Spring and Summer Fragrances, part 1

Introducing 3 new wonderful fragrances for the Bodyluxe by Shawna line of products:

Juicy Peach - the luscious scent of a fresh ripe peach

Lime-a-Licious - smells tart and fruity, like a margarita. Hey, its 5 o'clock somewhere, right?!

Mango & Mandarin - a popular favorite and a great, mouth watering blend

All of these fragrances are available as Liquigel Soap, Moistureluxe Lotion, Bath Candy, Body Buttercream and Soy Spa Candles. They will be coming soon in Old Fashioned Bar Soap (hopefully!).


If you need a product in these fragrances and its not on the store website yet, please just drop me an email (bodyluxe@gmail.com) or specify in the comments box of the order form what fragrance you desire. :)

And Now For Something Completely Different...

As many of you know, my Lime-a-licious soap was a bit of a flop. It was gorgeous but the fragrance had morphed and well, I didnt want to sell Vinyl scented soap. So I went about fixing it. The way us soap makers fix soap is by a process called "Rebatching." We take the soap, melt it down again, and fix whatever problems there might be. Upon doing this with the Lime-a-licious I realized quickly (and do did my daughter) that the color was no longer going to be quite so appetizing.

Quick jump to another story - At the last Art Market you may have seen my small menagerie of stuffed pets. Poor lonely Davey is the heart throb of the bunch. Well, he couldn't help himself... I didn't let him outside quickly enough this afternoon and Dragon Splat soap was born. Davey says he's sorry.. but hey, even a dinodragon can't hold it -that- long!

Dragon Splat soap is a great gag gift and will be available in about a week for $2.00 per splat. It is scented in Lime-a-licious. Get it while its hot! Erm.. uh.. eew.

New Product Spotlight - Soy Spa Candles in Glass

Bodyluxe by Shawna's Soy Spa Candles are perfect for that peaceful, quiet time to yourself. They add the finishing touch to your personal pampering, filling your room with your favorite scent.

What's so great about Soy Spa Candles? Soy wax is a renewable resource, produced by soybean farmers right here in the USA. It burns cleaner than paraffin wax, leaving very little soot behind and does not increase carbon dioxide in the air. Soy candles can give off more fragrance than paraffin because of the lower melting point of the wax, and the larger wax pool it creates.

Take home a Soy Spa Candle today and smell the difference for yourself!

The candles in glass come in either a 4.5oz or 9oz glass container. The 4.5oz Soy Spa Candle will burn for 25-35 hours. The 9oz Soy Spa Candle will burn for 45-55 hours. Each candle is hand poured so slight color variations will occur making each candle positively unique.

I still have a few of the 4.5oz Travel Tins available, but when they're gone, they're gone. I can no longer get these containers.

What's in the Soap Pot? Margarita Madness!

Today's soaping project was Margarita. Fun swirls of green, pink and orange - I've got my fingers crossed that it'll hold onto the wonderfully juicy lime fragrance. It'll be ready in about 3 weeks or so, I'll be sure to let you know when!

Can you tell that I'm ready for spring to hurry up and get here? :D

What's in the Soap Pot? - Feb 23, 2010

Today I've ventured forth to make another batch of the 100% Natural Oatmeal, Milk & Honey Old Fashioned Bar Soap. This particular soap has no colors or fragrances and is extremely pleasing to just about every skin type, be it sensitive or ... not so. So how does a soap with no fragrance... well, smell? Honestly its pretty nice. It smells clean, but not perfumey clean. And no, it doesn't make you smell like a bowl of breakfast cereal either.

This particular soap was created with the mindset that oatmeal can be soothing, goat's milk is high in fat and great for skin, and the honey is a humectant - meaning that it helps draw moisture to the skin.

One of my most popular soaps, I'm having problems trying to keep up with the rate at which its selling. Try a bar of 100% Natural Oatmeal, Milk & Honey Old Fashioned Bar Soap today and see for yourself! (Actually try it in about 2 weeks.. it'll be ready then. *wink*)

A Lesson: Soap defined and that "Antibacterial" craze.

So what is soap? Is it the stuff in a bottle that says "Antibacterial" on it? Is it that pressed funky shaped bar from the grocery store that comes in box, 8 to a package? How about that clear bar of stuff in fruity flavors that's supposed to be good for my face? Or better yet, its that stuff we put into laundry to get our clothes clean, right? There is a lot of confusion today about what soap really is.

Its time to do a little myth busting here. The true definition of a soap is that it is a mixture of an acid (fats and oils) that react with a base (sodium or potassium hydroxide) to form soap and glycerin. GASP! You mean you're rubbing fat all over your skin? Well, no. Once the mixture has gone through the soap making chemical reaction, known as saponification, it is no longer just fats and lye.. its a great bar of handmade soap that your skin is going to love. A truly accomplished soapmaker knows how to do the research to take a blend of oils to get their best skin attributing properties and turn them into a bubbly bar of soap full of lather. Finding a good blend of oils is both an art as well as a science, honestly.

So is that stuff at the grocery store really soap? Well, look at the label. The FDA says that only real soap made by the above process can be labelled as such. The others on the shelf are synthetic detergents. Detergents are made from chemicals and things that are hard to pronounce. They can be very drying and irritating to the skin, and leave a sticky film around the tub.

So what about that "Antibacterial" craze? Soap by its very nature is antibacterial. When you wash your hands with soap and water, the soap binds to germs and allows them to slide right off and down the drain when you rinse. And don't worry about that bar of soap sitting there collecting germs - as soon as you rinse it as well, its clean as a whistle. The last thing you want to do is to go around half-killing a bunch of bacteria. It makes them come back even stronger and is how those nasty hospital "superbugs" were born. The bacteria even mutate to be resistant to the antibacterial type of products over time, so just washing those worries down the drain is preferred.

So pick your poison, are you a bar soap or liquid soap kind of person? Either way, you're sure to have the cleanest hands on the block!

New Product Spotlight - Liquigel Soap

I am proud to report that I have -finally- prouduced a gel soap recipe that I actually like. At long last, drumroll please...... Introducing Liquigel Soap!

Bodyluxe by Shawna's Liquigel Soap is perfectly pumpable for your bath, shower or sink. Liquigel Soap is a true liquid soap made from Olive Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Castor Oil, Jojoba Oil and Coconut Oil.

This Liquigel Soap is thick and gel like, just like what you'd find in the grocery store, but much gentler on the skin. Great for adults and kids alike, Liquigel Soap is not too thick nor too thin, and can make hand washing fun during cold and flu season (or any time of the year!)

Liquigel Soap comes to you packaged in a beautiful 8oz pump bottle. Watch for new fragrances added almost daily as I get them ready for the Downtown Art Market. It will make a great addition to a custom built gift set as well, and is perfect for any occasion, including pampering yourself.

8oz Moistureluxe Sale - $6 each

Now on clearance - 8oz Moistureluxe Lotions in pump bottles, only $6 each. Right in time for Valentine's Day.

I'm looking to move out any current stock of lotions in pump bottles because I have some new upright bottles (this will be the last bottle change, I swear!) This will likely be about the only time the lotion actually goes on sale, so get it while its hot. First come, first served, email me for a shipping quote or I'll ship via flat rate if multiple bottles are purchased. This sale is NOT on my website, please contact me by comment, email or facebook to partake. I will invoice by email through Google Checkout as necessary.

The Direction of 2010

I just wanted to take a minute to share with you my direction for Bodyluxe by Shawna for 2010. 2009 was a totally awesome year, and I hope to take what I've learned and improve on it even further.

My goals for 2010:
* Streamline products into several great fragrances and offer a matching line - Old Fashioned Bar Soap, Moistureluxe Lotion, Bath Candy, Soy Spa Candles and Body Buttercream.

* Feature a new fragrance each month, corresponding to the season, with a potential discount on the monthly fragrance.

* Offer 2 sizes of Soy Spa Candles in glass, rather than the current tins, for all the candle lovers out there. They will be elegant, yet affordable, and clean burning.

* Expand the product line to include a gel type liquid soap that is natural - no detergents like the store brands. (Testing currently in progress)

* Expand the specialty product line to include an ultra lotion for those who suffer from skin irritations such as psoraisis, eczema and super dry skin rashes.

* Reinforce the notion to the world that handmade is wonderful, and share my love of crafting and soap science with anyone who will listen.

I hope to find your continued love and support as I expand my knowledge and offer great products at affordable prices for everyone in your life. <3

Product Spotlight - Body Buttercream

What better way to tame the awful, dry skin of the harsh winter weather we're having than with a good dose of Body Buttercream. Its available in any fragrance that I can do lotions in, as well as unscented for sensitive skin.

A luscious blend of natural avocado, mango and shea butters that melt in contact with your skin, Bodyluxe by Shawna's Body Buttercream glides onto your skin smoothly and soaks in quickly for minimal greasiness. This buttercream is a favorite to be used after shaving or in the cold dryness of winter. It is also great at bedtime to give you refreshingly soft skin by morning. A little goes a long way!


On a personal note - my daughters and I use this religiously after shaving. It gives a nice layer of moisture to keep razor burn from attacking our legs, and we smell great all morning, too! The Black Raspberry & Vanilla or Creamy Vanilla are our favorites.

Fragrance Spotlight - Lavender & Vanilla

What better way to relax than with the warm, inviting scent of lavender and vanilla. Lavender has long been praised for its ability to calm the mind and body. Vanilla is warm and sensual, and together they make a very cozy combination.

Lavender & Vanilla is a popular fragrance, and its available in Moistureluxe Lotion, Old Fashioned Bar Soap, Body Buttercream and Bath Candy, as well as Soy Spa Candles and Airluxe Gel Scents.

New Product Spotlight - Bath Candy

These cute little hearts are the perfect addition to your "me time." Just drop one into a tub of warm water and watch it fizz gently as it melts into an indulgent bath oil, perfect for relaxing in while your skin softens beautifully.

The Bath Candy are made from Cocoa, Mango and Avocado butters and some of the most popular fragrances. Send some to your sweetheart with a bottle of wine and some chocolates, and you'll surely win favor points!

Happy New Year

I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks for making 2009 a great year for Bodyluxe by Shawna. Best wishes to everyone for a wonderful 2010.

Sincerely,
Shawna Kelly
