Alongside these personal adventures, I've also been busy with my shop. You might recall that I introduced new scent varieties for my Coconut Oil Free Shampoo bar in February, and it's been such a hit that I've added another scent, Lemongrass Ginger! It joins my other lovely options: Unscented, Basil Cedar, and Lavender Orange.
There are also some beautiful new square handmade ceramic dishes in the shop, courtesy of my talented ceramist friend. These are perfect for the square solid dish soaps or any of my square soap bars.
On the subject of square soaps, I heard the call for a lemongrass body soap and got right to work! You'll now find a Lemon Sugar soap in my Etsy shop. Sugar is a wonderful addition to soap, boosting lather, acting as a humectant, and helping to create a longer-lasting bar.
Not all changes involve new products, though. I regularly review my offerings to see what isn't performing well or is challenging to ship. Earlier this year, I made the decision to discontinue the bath salts and shower steamers. I'm also planning to discontinue the large rectangle shaped solid dish bars once they sell out.
Your continued support of my small business is deeply appreciated – it truly means everything. Like many others, I'm keeping a close eye on potential tariff impacts on my ingredient availability and costs. It's hard to say what the coming weeks will bring in terms of pricing. If anything in the shop has caught your eye, now might be a good time to treat yourself! I'll be sure to keep you updated as things evolve.
