My New Ribbons, Coffee, Lilac & Vintage Soap

Hello,

It feels like ages since I last blogged and things have been a tad stressful around here. To make up for lost time I'll post a few soapies. I'm trying the new blogger format and not sure if I like it(think I prefer the old layout).

For those of you following from Jenora Soaps blogspot my website is listed under Splurge Sisters (our old name).  I think I figured out the problem, it's the right URL but looks like it was titled Splurge Sisters instead of Two Blooms.

Anywho last year was our first year entering the Saanich Fair for our gluten free baking and this year they had more categories. Last year we won one ribbon and this year we won five for our gluten free goodies.

I had a little fun hand modelling as I painted my nails and bought a new ring so I chose to showcase my White Tea & Ginger soap for this photo.

White Tea & Ginger Vegan Artisan Soap

First soap is Coffee Caramel with added coconut milk. This one is palm free and smells amazing.

Looking divine in the mold Coffee Caramel Soap

This scent has buttery and cinnamon top notes, a heart of caramel coffee and a well rounded nutty, vanilla base.

Palm Free & Vegan Coffee Caramel Artisan Soap

This soap has a nice dollop of shea butter along with it's glorious scent.

Next up is a Lilac glycerin soap. I've added goat's milk for it's lovely moisturizing properties. This is a fresh floral bouquet with top notes of lilac, ylang ylang and lily of the valley. The heart of the fragrance is a melody of jasmine, rose and lavender with a gentle lingering musk base.

Lilac Goat's Milk Glycerin Artisan Soap

The last soap is an old fashion method using lard. The majority of my soaps are vegan but I do include some made with goat's milk and a new lard based edition due to a special customer request.

Vintage Palm Free Artisan Soap

The scent is a mix of peony and water lily, white freesia and orange flower and it's a light delicate scent that I love.

After trying this one in the shower I can say that is has lovely luscious bubbles.  If you are interested in any of these soaps you can check out Coffee Caramel and Lilac soap here.  Vintage soap can be found here. I have changed the shipping option on my website to a flat fee of $15.00 and will refund you if there is a difference when I go to ship or advise you of a higher shipping cost. Until Paypal allows Canadians the option to have a shipping calculator based on destination this seems like the easiest solution.

Hope you all have a great week-end.
