Everyone always asks us which soaps are our favourite. Artisan Clay Sandalwood Soaps are our choice soaps; in fact we make a whole batch just for ourselves. These are made from coconut oil and the lovely violet clays of Bladen. For more ordering details and product information check out The Apothecary.

What a lovely colour and the swirls came out nicely!! So pleased with them.
Hi Everyone!! Just something short and sweet today because we are both hot and knackered from our town day. It is was our usual frenzied running around seeing patients in between delivering soap orders, opportunistic coconut cream selling and buying supplies. Sometimes it gets so funny…I have a bucket of coconut cream in one hand and a doctor’s bag in the other!
Anyway,”Soft Lilacs For Springtime” is the kind of title that a well established British boutique would use to sell expensive furnishings and perhaps soaps! So, I just wanted to see if I would get more traffic into The Apothecary with a title that promises elegance and panache!
Furnish your bathroom with these delightful soft-lilac soaps:
Gentle swirls inspire calmness and serenity:
A must for the discerning; Gentleman’s Shaving Soap:
When the lady of the house hosts her fabulous dinner parties, visitors will see this remarkable soap in the bathroom and she will be praised for her soap discernment. Her social standing will surely be raised as a result of this…
Our new soaps are Clay Artisan Soaps made from the purple clay from Bladen, Toledo area of Belize. They are gently exfoliating and have a lovely and luxurious scent of sandalwood. The Gentleman’s shaving soap is back by popular demand as the clay acts as a good slip which results in an even, smooth shave.
Come on everyone, show that you know good soap…show your discernment. Buy our soap!! 🙂
Living in Paradise sometimes isn’t all it is cracked up to be especially when it starts getting very buggy. Right now the weather is cloudy and rainy and it is bringing out the biting bugs; the no-see-ums (sand-flies) are the worse because you can hardly see them until you start getting an antsy, itchy feeling. They are coming out in swarms and as a result, we are staying indoors! So, this is the perfect time to do a soap-making marathon.
We started off by making our Artisan Chocolate Soap. This time we opted for a more blotchy appearance as opposed to our usual swirl. It turned out well and it is amazing how one batch can make such a variation in designs!
Since some designs can be very unusual, interesting and unique, we have come up with an idea to pick 12 of the best looking soaps and offer them packaged in a Special Edition Silver Tin. So, when our Apothecary finally opens, look out for our specials.
Playing with the “Doctor” theme, Gnome has come up with an idea to select some of our soaps as Rorschach Soaps because they have that ink-blot look which is associated with this well-known psychological test. So, keep an eye out for the Rorsharch Gallery devoted to possible interpretations of pictures on our soaps!
I am tired today so it is going to be a short one; I was not going to write one but Gnome said that I should try to keep the Blog alive. It is like something alive which I am trying to cultivate and at some point it will assume a personality and a presence.
This morning I spent many intense hours cutting out labels, sticking them on jars and bottles and packing a lot of products.
Gnome dipped the bottles in wax and I followed up with the ribbons and labels for the product.
We packaged soap; this involved the cutting of plastic from a roll and sealing.
More tomorrow!
