Freebie Friday! (Plus New Products Review)
Can you believe that it is not only the last day of November but also Friday? Before I move on the giveaway of the week, I would like to share our newest products with you. We have added LOTS over the past three weeks and they all are so exciting! If you haven’t checked out the New Products section of the catalog recently, then you should.
NEW FRAGRANCES!
French Lime Blossom Fragrance: This fragrance is a wonderful floral that brings the idea of classic elegance and timeless appeal to mind. Fresh and light, this floral brushes past you on a soft breeze that whispers “Spring” in your ear. Touches of violet and wild lily mix with the linden blossom giving this fragrance that bit of grace that makes us think of a European garden with linden trees and perhaps … a kiss of romance.
Rhubarb and Sugar Cane Fragrance: When I was a teen, my parents picked up a DVD of some Petticoat Junction episodes. My sister and I enjoyed that DVD, but our favorite episode was “Kate’s Recipe for Hot Rhubarb.” This fragrance may not have much common with Petticoat Junction, but it is a yummy scent that is fun and energizing! A delicious concoction of grapefruit, pomelo and pomegranate topped off with black currants and a floral spray of white lily and pink roses. Perfect to give your day a energetic start. Can you hear that morning wake up call?
Vanilla Yogurt Fragrance Oil: Don’t think of your morning breakfast before smelling this fragrance! Vanilla and cream are the focus of the fragrance but there is tang twisted with a hint of citrus and caramel and the whole medley is topped off with a little bit of sugar like sweetness.
NEW FLAVOR!
Chocolate Bacon Flavor Wax: The popularity of chocolate and bacon flavored foods and treats hasn’t faded away. So many of our customers have requested this flavor for lip balms and I’m excited to say that it is back in the catalog due to popular demand! Smokey, salty bacon with a delicious chocolate. Can you just say yum? Watch this flavor fly off your shelves!
NEW BOTANICALS!
Alkanet Root Powder: A botanical that is often used to color soaps a deep red color. Color can vary from blue gray to dark purple depending on the amount of color. CHALLENGE! Submit a photograph of your soaps using this botanical as a colorant and we will send you a goody box!
Annatto Seed Powder: Another botanical used to color soaps, it can give your soaps a color range of yellow to orange. CHALLENGE! Submit a photograph of your soaps using this botanical as a colorant and we will send you a goody box!
Hibiscus Flowers: Recently, I’ve made a few blogs posts with Hibiscus Flowers. We now carry these wonderful blossoms so you can make your own tub teas, masks, and foot scrubs!
Madder Root Powder: History notes that Madder Root has been used a source of a red dye for cloth. Now we carry this botanical to give your soaps a red brown or warm red color! CHALLENGE! Submit a photograph of your soaps using this botanical as a colorant and we will send you a goody box!
Orange Peel Powder: Want to add a little extra exfoliation to your soap? Try Orange Peel Powder and I think you will find your kitchen will have a new favorite soap! Where else would you use our luscious Orange Peel Powder?
Safflower Powder Don’t think of cookin and Safflower Oil! Think soap colored with Safflower Powder! CHALLENGE! Submit a photograph of your soaps using this botanical as a colorant and we will send you a goody box!
Spirulina Powder: Spirulina is a powder from a blue green algae that will add a green and brown color to your soaps. I think soaps made with this would be pretty and easily play into an ocean theme. CHALLENGE! Submit a photograph of your soaps using this botanical as a colorant and we will send you a goody box!
