Spiced Lemon

A new batch of Spiced Lemon is now ready, it's been slowly changing as time goes by, tweeting here and there, adding a bit more this and a bit more that. I'm glad to say that I'm finally happy with it, it smells beautiful! fresh and uplifting with a bit of zing.

This one has Shea, Avocado and Cocoa Butters added, so you just know its got to be good for your skin. Coloured a dark lemon with a reddish swirl using yellow and red clays and a sprinkling of poppy seeds for light exfoliation, it's my new favourite:) you can find it here.

Just an update on my new Logo and Banner, still waiting! it's just taking a bit longer than I thought it would, but hopefully in the next week it will be done, can't wait!

Calming Calendula

I've made my Calming Calendula soap with goat's milk and infused the oils with organic calendula. Calendula is a wonderful all-around skin treatment, that soothes, heals and helps maintain skin in perfect health so is a great addition to handmade soaps. Fragranced with essential oils of Rose Geranium, Sweet Orange, Lavender and Patchouli it smells warm and inviting. I've taken this photo outside as you can see:) as it seems to be easier for me to get a decent photo there, just wish I could do the same inside lol.

I've been watching the news showing all the heavy snow some of you are getting over there, I hope you are all safe. Thinking of you....

Stay safe Soapy Friends!

To all my soapy friends who like to put their milk soaps in the snow:)I hope you are all OK over there. I saw on the news last night a shopping centre roof collapsing under the weight. Boy, are we all having dreadful weather lately. Thinking of you and hope you are safe.

Stay safe!

Well we are in Mackay and the winds are picking up now from the monster cyclone Yasi that is breathing down our necks, I hate to think how strong they are up further north.

To our family, friends, customers and readers who are in Townsville, Cairns and surrounds, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Please take care and stay safe!

Lemon Myrtle & Lavender

Well it's been a while since I've posted, so I thought I'd better put pen to paper and say hello. I received some much needed motivation from Jen, thank you Jen:) and you're going to see a few changes in the coming weeks.

I'm having a new Logo and Banner done for my website which really needed a pick me up, a bit like me I'm afraid, I'm hoping this will do the trick and help both my website and me:) Nat from Natty Jane Designs is doing them for me and I can't wait till they are done. But for the moment I thought I'd share my Lemon Myrtle and Lavender soap bar with you.

For those of you reading who don't know about Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil, it has an extremely lemony and crisp scent; a really fresh smelling essential oil, it is an extremely potent antibacterial and germicide and is reputed to be even more effective as a germ killer than the more familiar Tea Tree.

Put this together with Lavender essential oil which has a calming effect on the body and can be used to reduce anxiety, stress and promote sleep and you get one beautiful fragrance. I've added Shea and Cocoa Butters and Sweet Almond oil to pamper and natural colours from turmeric, yellow clay and alkanet root and where can you see them? just visit my website of course:) AromaBeauty:)

Soaps for Auction to Help Flood Victims

The tragedy of the Qld. floods continues to unfold and has touched people from all over the world. The Aussie "help your mate" spirit is shining through and the amount of people who have donated and volunteered to help clear up the devastation has amazed me and is truly inspirational.

My family has donated personally, as has many, many, thousands of other families, but more money is still needed to help clean up the mess and to help people get their lives back to some sort of normality.

I’d really like to be able to help some more and would like to donate some of my handmade soaps to auction. I’m offering 6 of my soaps, you can choose whatever ones you’d like, plus I’ll pay for postage to Australian addresses, which brings the total value up to $65.00, depending on the soaps choosen.

So I’m asking everyone to please pass the word around and hopefully we can send some more help to where it is needed. You can bid via our Facebook page.

Raspberry's & Cream

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

We are now open again for business, I'm so sorry the shop was closed longer than I'd mentioned on the website, but we were stuck for a while due to the floods and were unable to get home, but we are now up and running again.

Raspberry's & Cream smells delicious! a pretty pink bar that smells of ripe, juicy berries over yummy vanilla, with a touch of poppy seeds for gentle exfoliation, don't forget Valentine's Day is coming!
