Pomegranate & Black Currant Soap

This is one of my favorite scents from Brambleberry. Surprisingly, it took a while for me to finally sell out. I think it's because of the presentation. The first batch looked kind of boring. I didn't take any chances this time. I had a half an ounce of fragrance oil left over from my first batch of this soap, so it was the perfect amount for a 1lb. batch using my "Nizzy Mould".

I added a just little bit of Orange 10x essential oil to it for a twist. Love it! I can’t wait to unmold and see how these turn out.

What in the world is steam punk? I'll admit that I had absolutely no idea whatsoever, ha! The official web definition is: a sub-genre of science fiction and speculative fiction, frequently featuring elements of fantasy.
Well Dad can keep his stash golden with this unique Steampunk style money clip made from 100% recycled vintage materials

Beer Soap - Made with Guinness Beer

I've never made this type of soap but it's all the rage right now and apparently it doesn't smell like beer at all!
Then why use it? Well, besides of all that great lather, Hops which is a major herbal ingredient in beer, has been long known for its soothing, healing properties. It is full of amazing amino acids & is great for sensitive skin.

Handmade is always a wonderful and really personal option for any gift, so get on over to Etsy and check out all these talented artisans :0)
