We are back from our grand two-week adventure to the Olympic Peninsula! We had such a great time, but I am happy to be home and creating again. I was able to get my Refreshing Rose bar soap made today and am a little concerned about the color. It is way darker than I planned but the colors do change as the soap cures. I’ll take some pictures during this process. This amazing bar is made with shea butter, cocoa butter, olive oil, castor oil, sweet almond oil, with the addition of hibiscus, rose petals, rose ESO, helichrysum oil, and argon oil. The bars will be unmolded and cut tomorrow. As a reminder, bar soaps take 4 – 6 weeks to cure but the wait is well worth it. The Refreshing Rose Bars will be ready no later than November 21, 2022.
Tomorrows work includes making my soap paste in order to create liquid soaps. The first liquid soap out the door will be Rosemary-Sage, I find this combination of scents refreshing and perfect for everyone. I currently have my Ginger, Lime, Neroli (with jojoba beads), Light Lemon, Lemon with Lemon Verbena, and Charcoal Lavender bars cured and ready for sale. Shampoo bars and conditioner bars are available as are the Solid Dish Soap sets. All other facial and body care products are also available or can be made to order to address special skin care needs or desires.
If you are reading this, you are in for a special surprise! I will be providing a 20% discount on all orders placed or preordered before November 28, 2023. This will give me an opportunity to ensure I have enough of the right products on hand for your holiday needs. Mention this special when ordering to receive the discount and let me know if your order is to fill holiday gift giving needs. Those who have current orders open with me will receive this discount also.
Stay tuned for future Mother Murphy’s blog posts where I plan to discuss the properties and uses of various herbs beyond culinary. There will be posts about other fun stuff too and I’m happy to be able to share some of my learning over the many years I have traveled around the sun.
