Lavish Naturals Blog: Notes from the Soapmaker.

Archive for September, 2009

The next bar of soap up for a makeover was Lavender Castile, which received a pretty lavender swirl and yummy peaked top.

The previous look:

And finally, our Happy Rose Bar Soap was made over with a more refined swirl and also a peaked top.

Here’s the last sneak peek before the new Fall and Winter Collection of soaps debuts on Thursday:

Have you noticed a difference in some of our “classic” soaps?  They were starting to look  just a little bit plain next to some of the newer collection soaps, so I decided to give them makeovers!  Of course, they still have the same fantastic ingredients and skin nourishing goodness that you’ve come to love.

Here’s the old Lavender + Oatmeal:

J’s first day of Kindergarten was on Tuesday!  I was a little bit nervous about him taking the bus by himself and being okay at school.  But I had nothing to be worried about, he absolutely loved it.  In fact when I came to pick him up, he was upset that he couldn’t ride the bus home, too.  So far, so good!
