I can’t pinpoint when my intense curiosity about handmade soap began, and in particular cold-processed soap. But I do know that the fixation grew & after many months of researching into the science of soap making, lots of YouTube videos, and following many soapers I made my first batch of soap in December 2017 & it was a HIT!

 What I didn’t anticipate was that the actual process of soap making would be so utterly & completely therapeutic to me! That spending an afternoon by myself in my kitchen, listening to my podcasts (I’m talking to you My Favorite Murder!), with the world turned-out would put me into a complete state of zen!
So to cut-to-the-chase, this is what I discovered:

• •  Soap making absolutely helps with my anxiety! For me it’s akin to a spa treatment, & I absolutely enjoy it. Whether this new business venture takes off or not (I believe it will) I will always be a soaper!
  •  Turns out I’m really good at making soap! Who would have thought?! Yes props to me! I will confidently say that I make an excellent bar of soap.
  • In my opinion, Jamaican-based oils & butters that are used in my
    products (coconut oil, custom-made castor oil etc.) make a superior quality soap. Hence my goal to keep as many elements of my products as Jamaican as possible.
  • Since I know I make a very respectable soap, and all my friends were encouraging me to stop giving it away & start selling it, I decided to turn my more-than-a-hobby into a business & to share my passion with you!
•  It has taken me a very long time (years) for this passion-to-business transition to become a reality for a number of reasons:  procrastination, anxiety, fear of failure, lack of direction etc. etc., but thanks to a great group of friends who believed in me when I couldn’t believe in myself – here we are!
   I hope you enjoy my stuff as much as I do!
