Nothing beats cool suds 🧊in a heat wave!
Hello friends!
August brings a beach tote of emotions along with it. While it feels celebratory and festive - it is still summer after all - there's also a twinge of nostalgia and sadness as the season of vacations and freedom winds down.
No matter what the weather forecast says, there's still another month and change of summer on the calendar. Squeezing in that last little bit of vacation before the back-to-busy season arrives, August is where we leave it all on the field, ticking off every box on our summer fun lists. But easy peasy though, it's a pleasure list - not a task list. Plenty of time to make that another run for the ice cream truck!
LAST CALL FOR SUMMER SEASONAL SOAPS
Which brings up the next subject - if you've fallen in love with one of our summer scents, you might want to grab the last few bars left this year. We've got just a bit of these left in stock and then it's onto something new. Lemon Balm + Olive Wood, Midsommar, Seashore + Driftwood, and White Linen are still available, and refreshing as can be for warm weather sudsing.
SUMMER FEET
Sandals, flip flops, bare feet and strolling sandy beaches or hot pavement can take a toll on your feet. If you've got dryness or rough spots, we can help. The tried and true 3-step method for bringing them back to life:
1) Soak your feet for a bit
2) Remove hardened areas using a pumice stone or callous remover
3) Moisturize with a rich balm or lotion
Our Healing Salve is a super hero - much more than just a simple moisturizer. It's packed with an infusion of herbs for disinfecting, killing both bacteria and fungus, skin regeneration and all around skin healing and pampering. Those rough, cracked heels don't stand a chance. (2 oz tin - $6)
AUTUMN AROUND THE CORNER
I'm already working on my new fall soap menu, which will be announced September 1st, just next month. (whoah!). I'm excited to share my new fall soap scents with you, but they are under wraps for a few more weeks. Check your inbox (or Facebook or Instagram) at the beginning of September for my Autumn Newsletter.
Everything everywhere feels like a fire hose of bad news and too much information. The events here and around the world are dizzying, chaotic and panicky - constantly changing and difficult to make sense of. Our minds and nervous systems can't keep up without balance, rest and perspective. Do the small things and the big things to take the very best care of yourself and your people.
