"A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself." - Joseph Campbell
Remembering all our heroes today, who sacrificed their lives that we might enjoy our freedom. May their sacrifice never be in vain.
Remember that soap we made a few weeks ago? Well, it has been six weeks, and the soap is ready for use! So what's next? If you need the soap for immediate use, just grab it off
the shelf and enjoy (I am enjoying one of those bars right now). But
what if you want to store it, give it as a gift, or sell it? That's
where the packaging comes in.
If you are going to be selling the soap or giving it as a
gift, you will want to label it, including all pertinent information
such as name and ingredients. Just type it up on the computer and print.
With molded bars I usually package them
in clear plastic bags to show off the design of each bar. The soap
easily fits in 4x6 self-sealing bags, found in the jewelry/craft
sections of stores such as Hobby Lobby and Walmart. So grab your soap,
grab your labels grab your bags, and you're ready to begin! (Tip: it helps if you
don't spill all the bags on the floor...)
Classic. Old-fashioned. Homey.
Nothing smells quite as good or homey as food fresh from the oven, especially when that food just happens to be dessert.
Apple. Cinnamon. Spice.
Make it a pie crust with apples, cinnamon, and other spice, piping hot from the oven with a scoop of ice cream on top, and you've just about got the perfect dessert. (Is your mouth watering?)
This pretty much describes my Hot Apple Pie Goat Milk Soap. While you can't eat it, it provides a reminiscent aroma of all the pleasant memories associated with a hot apple pie. Memories of people. Memories of good times. Memories of quiet evenings. All this without needing to worry about adding on extra pounds.
This goat milk soap is made with moisturizing olive oil, coconut oil, red palm oil, and of course, goat's milk. While your olfactory organs enjoy the pleasant scent, your skin will enjoy the nourishing effects of this natural product.
Hot Apple Pie Goat Milk soap is available in the following molded bars:

Today was my first Saturday selling at the Athens Farmer's Market - and it was quite a step up from selling at the little Farmer's Market in Jefferson the last two years. Lots of vendors, lots of people, and more sales than I am used too. What more could you ask for in a Farmer's Market? There are a few more regulations and expenses than in Jefferson, but I guess that just comes with being a bigger market...
If you live near Athens, stop by sometime and say hello. The market takes place in Bishop Park from 8:00-12:00 every Saturday morning until the beginning of December (although I won't be there all of those Saturdays). While you're there you can find fresh produce and other goodies, not to mention goat milk soap, goat milk lotion, and beeswax lip balm :)

Recently I've had this thing with daisies. What do they have to do with soap, lotion, and lip balm? Nothing, unless you consider my blog template. I've always liked daisies, but the last couple of months I've been more drawn to them. I don't know what it is - maybe it's because their simplicity always reminds me of the country and something untainted by the busyness of life. Because of my rekindled love for daisies, I was pretty excited yesterday when I saw this: the first daisies I have spotted this year!
The following is one of the best quotes I've ever read on a Dove chocolate wrapper:
"Happiness is celebrating the little things."
What makes you happy? Look around. Be available. Maybe you can do something little today that will bring happiness to others.
Think lemon, lime, and bergamot. Mix these scents together, and what do
you get? Citrus burst goat milk soap! This soap is just "bursting"
with the citrus aroma imparted by these three essential oils.

| Bergamot |
Lemon and lime - those are common enough - but what is bergamot? Unlike these other two citrus fruits, bergamot is not native to the United States. It is grown in Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa. Maybe that's why it's not as well known. Bergamot is a key flavor in Earl Grey Tea (and for those who have never tried it, it is totally worth it) and is also used frequently as a scent in perfume and cologne.

Note: While a significant amount of citrus essential oil has been added to this soap, citrus oils lose their fragrance more quickly than other oils. The older this soap gets, the "lighter" its fragrance will become.
