Just a quick heads up that I am expecting some new fully refined organic shea butter in next week as well as some new cocoa butter that I couldn’t resist!

It’s deep brown and has a very cocoa-ish scent. I can’t wait to play with it for some summer skin care.

I’m thinking that it might be nice with some coffee CO2, I’m not sure yet how well it will meld with the virgin oil de coco creme but I can’t wait to find out, it’s a natural with the regular unrefined so well known for it’s chocolatey scent.

CAN’T WAIT to try some soap with it. I have a botched batch of that I made that refused to sudz. It is scented with our Sandalwood Blend so I don’t want to waste it. Maybe I’ll try adding it to a cocoabutter base soap, it should go nicely. Maybe a batch with a hint of mint? The wheels are turning, bwahahaha.

NEW SITE IS COMING ALONG!

I’m so excited to tell you that it won’t be long now. A few delays have slowed us down, but thankfully I’ve had some great help and we are rolling along with some of the finishing touches. I’m fully expecting to be ready for the unveiling by the end of next week.

With it will be coming a new theme for this blog as well to match the new site. We seem to have lost part of this one during the server move. You may get a sneak preview here of the new site design if I change it over before the new site is live. I’m itching to get it done!

HANDMADESOAP.CA MAY BE DOWN

I’ve been notified that the handmadesoap.ca site should be down soon. Eventually it will redirect to the new site, so you should have no trouble finding us if that is the url you have bookmarked but it may take a few days for the servers to make the move. If you are in a rush for anything, you should grab it now just in case. If not, as I mentioned, the new site should be up for business by the end of next week. I will keep you posted either way.

Meantime, I hope that you are enjoying the weather when it’s nice and finding something else that you enjoy when it’s not so nice. Like ummm, making something good for your skin in your own kitchen!
