“You don’t need to chase the world, you need to choose yourself.

You are the path,
the story,
the work of art in progress.

You are your greatest project:
messy, growing,
unfolding one brave choice at a time.

You weren’t meant to stay unfinished,
to shrink for anyone’s comfort.
You are change.
You are revolution.

And one day,
you’ll look back
and realize:
every scar built you,
every wrong turn led you home.

You are your greatest project.
And you’re just getting started.”

~ Skye Reeds, “You Are Your Greatest Project” from “You Are Beautiful... And You Don't See It: Healing Words for the Woman You Already Are”

🌈 RAINBOW RIBBONS 🌈

April showers bring..... RAINBOWS! and then May flowers!

May brings us Beltane, the Celtic celebration of spring's fertility and abundance. Beltane celebrations include the iconic May Pole, where maidens and children dance with frivolity around a tall pole wrapped in a rainbow 🌈 of silky ribbons.

Our Rainbow Ribbons bar depicts a serene blue sky with a tiger stripe ribbon of rainbow drizzles. We've scented this whimsical bar in a refreshing, bubbly citrus burst of mandarin, bergamot, pomelo, clementine, and verbena. A fruity heart of apple, apricot, and strawberrry sweetens the deal. Efferevescent & enticing!

how to be resurrected

walk barefoot at least once a day
move like an animal
whisper to trees
belly to earth stillness
crawl like a worm
dream deep among whales
turn your face towards the sun.
think like a sunflower.
surrender like the moon.
periodically erase yourself.
let nature crawl into you.
replace your middle name with hers.
remember: i am
the path between earth and sky.

Have you ever eaten magnolia blossoms?

Magnolia petals treated like endive. With goat cheese that could’ve been piped better, sumac, crunchy salt. Just enough fat / dairy to cut the flowery ginger-cardamom taste so it’s not like eating perfume.

If you're a fan of Mists of Avalon like myself, you're probably just as obsessed with the Tor as I am! And Morgan Le Fay, of course! 😉🧚‍♀️

💛💕 TICKLED PINK 💕💛

The phrase "tickled pink" originated in the early 20th century to indicate "extreme pleasure, delight, and/or amusement". We think that one look and sniff of this brightly colored bar will give you ecstatic tickled pink vibes.

Tickled Pink sports a bright bubblegum pink base with electric yellow and white swirls. We've deviated from our normal bar size and shape for this one and shook up the look with a tall and skinny shape. We adore how well this shape fits in the hand.

These bright & bold bars are scented in a sweet and citrusy blend of sparkling pink grapefruit, orange blossom, jasmine, lily of the valley, and finishes with a dash of warm & spicy ginger. Effervescent & energetic!

💙😻 CAT MINTHE 😻💙

In Greek mythology there was a Naiad nymph called Minthe, said to be the daughter of the River God, Cocytus, ruler of the River of Tears & Lamentation that runs through the Underworld. Minthe was said to be a lover of Hades before he took Persephone to be his bride. After Minthe boasted she was more beautiful and would regain Hades' love, a furious Persephone (or in some versions, Demeter) transformed her into the garden mint plant.

Catmint is a cousin of the cat-charming catnip, with a dose of the same chemical component, nepetalactone, that sends our feline friends into a delightful frenzy. But catmint offers its own unique charm to the garden with its long-lasting blue to purple hued buds, a heady minty aroma, and attractive mounding growth that makes it an amazing border plant that buzzes with pollinator activity all summer long.

Our Cat Minthe soap is a playful expression of this favorite garden ally. We've combined our adoration for this attractive garden plant with our popular cat-face design to create a unique soap that captures's summer days in the garden! A purple-hued cat face peeks out from amongst the raucous of a wild summer garden in full color display. The enchanting fragrance is an explosion of garden greats: sun-kissed florals, voluptuous tuberose and intoxicating ylang-ylang blend seamlessly with a playful array of vibrant citrus and juicy fruit notes, accented by fresh-crushed garden mint. Soft musk and rich woods complement and ground this radiant blend. Playful and perky! (Dare we say....kittenish?!) 😻

🍑 JUST PEACHY 🍑

How's it going these days? Perhaps your standard response to such a query is an eyeroll, a sigh, and a quippy "Just peachy!".... it's certainly a standard reply in my Midwestern-born vernacular. More often than not, things are most definitely NOT peachy, LOL, but who really wants to elaborate about the state of the sh*tshow anyway?

Our Just Peachy! bars are pretty as a peach! Our aromatic palette opens with fresh&juicy peach notes complemented by uplifting sweet mandarin and pink grapefruit. A delicate heart of soft pink petals that capture the essence of spring's glory - fragrant rose and romantic pink peony. A warm, woody finish offers the perfect balance to this light and feminine blend. You'll be peachy keen and peachy clean!

🍑 Loove peachy scents? Pair this up with our Peach & Petals body lotion for a delightful layering experience.

💛🏵 BONNY BUTTERCUP 🏵💛

Buttercups, with their delicate yellow petals and bright presence, have long captured the imagination and wonder of humans. They have been linked in various cultures as a symbol of good fortune, prosperity, and protection, and have long been associated with joy, happiness, and love. In ancient folklore, buttercups were believed to possess the power of divination and were often used in love spells and rituals to attract romance. In Celtic mythology, these flowers were associated with the fairies and were believed to have magickal properties that could grant wishes or bring luck. Buttercups, growing in sunny meadows, were believed to mark places where the fae danced or rested. Picking them could attract fairy mischief - or blessings, depending on your luck!

This bright golden yellow bar with cheery pastel accents of pink, green, and blue is sure to bring smiles, especially if you happen to get a bar with fun shapes hiding in the swirls. Maybe you'll see a cat or a bunny or a goose in your bar! We've scented these sunny bars with a radiant burst of bright bergamot and herbaceous lemongrass. With heart notes of true romance, a lavish mix of velvet rose, tender orange blossom, and a cascade of daisy petals is sweetened by a drop of wild honey. This coquettish scent settles into a luxurious embrace of smooth amber, earthy cedarwood, and gentle musk to anchor this dreamy floral as a timeless, sophisticated scent.

Our Bonny Buttercup bars are made with real buttermilk! Why? Well, fun fact.... folklore suggests that cows grazing in buttercup-rich fields gave the best, creamiest butter. This belief was so strong it influenced farming superstitions, but the truth is that buttercups are actually poisonous to grazing animals. However, the cool spring season when buttercups are prevalent also means that grasses and other nutritious forage is in abundance, which is the real reason that butter is betta ;) during the spring. Cool, but how does that relate to soap? Buttermilk is rich in milk fats and high in lactic acid, which makes for a great natural exfoliant and a lovely moisturizing experience. So yeah, buttermilk does make soap better, too!
