‘It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…’ Please don’t shoot me if that song is stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
Linda Nigro from Soapier has so many Holiday Soaps I didn’t know which one to write about. She lists creativity as one of her ingredients and she’s absolutely right. The [...]

My host will be moving my sites to a new server. This is good news but the sites may be down for awhile when they do it - sometime in the next few days.

If your family is more like the one portrayed in a ‘Christmas Story’ rather than the one in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ you will really appreciate this soap by Grumpy Girl.

The soft and creamy swirls and the overall color of this soap is very reminiscent of crystallized ginger. And mmmm…nothing screams Ho-Ho-Ho! to me more than ginger. Ginger candy, ginger snaps, [...]

HO-HO-HO! It’s time to roll out the Holiday Soapies!
