I would like to take a moment to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about my small business!

With the pandemic, like many, I found myself home all the time and was in search of a new hobby. A hobby that would help fill my creative void while also being an exercise in mindfulness. I tried gardening, meditating, walking, baking, I even tried raising worms at one point! I needed something that pulled my entire focus, something that would keep my mind from wandering.

One day, I found myself down a YouTube rabbit hole watching soap making videos. I loved watching the beautiful creations, the cuts, the colors, the glitter. It was all quite cathartic! I loved watching so much so that I decided to jump right in and try it for myself. I did tons of research, watched MORE videos, and finally, I purchased some basic tools and ingredients. In July 2020, I made my first loaf of soap.

It was scary, it was new, and more importantly, I found myself so focused on the soap making process that it became a sort of weekly meditation for me. I was thinking about soap, talking about ideas with my wonderful and supportive husband, even DREAMING about soap!! To be frank, I was hooked.

Figuring out what type of soapmaker I wanted to be was easy. I love all things fantasy and nerdy: Dungeons and Dragons, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Disney, I love it all! Coming up with ideas of what soap to make next has become one of my favorite pastimes.

Helping others is also something that is very important to me, and with soapmaking, I had a way of doing that. I thought long and hard about what causes were important to me. I couldn’t give to everyone, and I couldn’t give to just one. So, I picked 4 fantastic charities whose mission I support:
