Thank you ever so much absolutely fabulous students in the Chaska Holiday Gift Soaps Class last Thursday. It was such a pleasure to meet you, and I truly loved our small cozy class - we really got to know one another, and have fun whipping up holiday gift soaps together!

I loved your choices of Black Cherry/Almond gingerbread boys and ornaments and Basil Sage Mint snowflakes and trees - so festive, and they smelled totally luscious! Beautiful choices.

I hope you'll come back to make more soaps in the spring! New fragrances, soap molds and a fun way to celebrate spring. Yes, I'll bring the unicorn molds!

In the meantime, warmest holiday wishes for a very Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Lots of love xoxo

Thank you lovely Holiday Gift Soaps soap makers in Bloomington for an absolutely fab creative evening out together whipping up oodles and oodles of beautiful soaps in charming holiday shapes and luscious fragrances everyone will love - I know we all loved them!! Every soap batch smelled gorgeous, and together, they were a celebration of fragrance!!

Honey Almond (yellow gingerbread boys)
Black Cherry/Orange (red/orange rounds)
Lemon-Sage-Ginger (light green snowmen, ornaments, trees)
Peppermint (pink hearts, rounds)

What a fun night out together, and I was truly amazed at your professional skills at filling batch after batch of soap molds (in a timely fashion) to bring home so many delightful soaps for the holidays!

Enjoy them whenever you like (even before the holidays is perfectly okay), and know that if you gift and use all your soaps, just return in the spring for Fresh Citrus, Floral and Fruity Soaps, and we'll make more together - new mold shapes, fragrances,...

Sending warmest gratitude, holiday wishes, and hugs,

Raulla xoxo

Thank you ever so much lovely Holiday Gift Soaps soap makers in Wayzata - such a pleasure to meet you and get to know each other while we whipped up beautiful holiday themed soaps in the luscious fragrances you chose for those near and dear to you, and that of course, includes YOU!

Loved each of your 4 batches: Orange Cream/Sleepy Time (lavender/vanilla) purple stockings, ornaments and snowmen with red sparkles Green Botanical trees (large and small Xmas green trees) Lemon-Sage-Ginger white snowflakes and snowmen Peppermint red Gingerbread Boys (large and small)

Your soaps smelled heavenly and the shapes you picked were over the moon charming. One of the best parts: Seeing you unmold your whimsical beautifully decorative soaps - loved the oohs and ahs when you saw the gingerbread boys smiling faces and buttons and the intricately detailed snowflakes and ornaments.

Thanks so much once again for a super fun creative evening ringing in the holidays early so you'll be all set when they quickly roll around in December. And hey, if you can't resist using your soaps now, please don't - enjoy them whenever you feel inspired to do so!!!

You're welcome to come back in Feb to make more for Valentine's Day! New molds, fragrances,....

Warmest holiday wishes and hugs,

Raulla xoxo

Thank you ever so much for an absolutely wonderful evening together fabulous soap makers in Minnetonka! I loved meeting each and everyone of you! You're awesome!

The luscious fragrance oils and essential oils you chose for your 4 soap batches were delightful and gorgeous.

Loved your four batches of Orange Cream/Dewberry orange rounds, Rose/Honeydew Melon whimsical pink unicorns, Sleepytime (lavender) purple hearts and Lemon-Sage-Ginger lime flowers. Those bunnies are soooo.... charming. After years of teaching this class, your Rose/Honeydew Melon was completely new to me, and I LOVED IT - can wait to whip up this one again! Thank you for your creativity!

Your sulfate-free goat's milk, three butter (mango,. shea and cocoa butters) and Australian tea tree oil soaps will be luxurious ways to keep your skin soft all spring and summer. Tea tree oil is great for the scalp too if you choose to use it as a solid shampoo. Very gentle and cleansing.

Love your smaller bunnies and rounds too! Perfect size to pop into your suitcase to add a touch of luxurious fun to your summer travel weekends!

I look forward to seeing you again to whip up luxurious holiday soaps together in November - stay tuned for new warm and dessert scented fragrance oils and holiday themed soap molds (smiling gingerbread boys aka gingerbread dudes, ornaments, trees, snowmen, snowflakes, candy canes, stockings, and more surprises)!

Warmest wishes and happy spring and summer hugs to all,
Raulla xo

Thank you ever so much absolutely fabulous holiday soap makers in Bloomington last night for the pleasure of coming together to make gorgeous holiday soaps - WOW WOW WOW... - amazingly creative friends whipping up oodles and oodles of lusciously fragrant and whimsically shaped soaps for the holidays!

The giant Christmas tree design you created with uniquely inspired repetitive patterns, colors and shapes was nothing short of ABSOLUTELY AWE INSPIRING!!! It's a soap oeuvre d'art! Loved it!! The beauty of creating this temporary design and then letting it disappear as we distributed the soaps in your gift bags makes it all the more special. It was simply THE BEST to be present with you, and to feel part of the playful hearts and spirits who created it!

Of course, loved the entire collaborative process from beginning to end of making beautiful soaps together. After Batch #1, it felt like everyone was a soap making professional on a roll, knowing just what to do, filling our holiday molds one after the other.

Your 4 batches (shown below) are sure to gently care for your sensitive skin and make beautiful memories (fragrance is memory) this holiday season and long after:

Green Tea/Mango-Papaya lime trees, ornaments, stockings, rounds
Lemon-Sage-Ginger yellow ornaments, rounds
Basil-Sage-Mint Green-Blue trees, rounds, ornaments, snowmen
Lemon Biscotti/Orange Cream Vanilla orange gingerbread boys, rounds

Warmest hugs, much love and wishes for all things that delight your playful creative spirits this holiday season and always...

Raulla xoxo
