Another Potpourri Soap...


Each batch of Potpourri soap is so different…

as all of my cut offs are unique.
I colour coordinated this one with only left overs from alkanet and pink clay soaps, both shavings and soap balls…
These tiny, curly shavings are made with my IKEA cheese grater, the same one I grate my soap rejects with, which I normally use to make my laundry soap.
The EO blend is Lavender, Lemongress, Fennell, Ylang Ylang, a blend I love and repeat, altering quantities slightly each time, until I get it perfect.


Happy and Passionate Soaping Everyone!!
xoxo Jen

Some photos of the shaving kit I offer... Ceramic shaving dish, hand-crafted by a local ceramic artist Brushes, 3 different qualities, from left to right - 1) beechwood with synthetic bristles, 2) beechwood with badger hair bristles and 3) Olive wood with badger hair bristles I have been working a lot this summer, but for the most part it hardly feels like WORK because I enjoy it so much! Both my husband and my daughter have been helping a lot with packaging. I wish I had more time for blogging as it is something I love as well... ah well, there's always the winter for that. I have been working hard on my website, which you can check out if you like: www.naturalmentemediterraneo.com There is still a lot of information to write, create,upload...photos to take... etc... but it is up and running now! Studio and shop are a thrill and the night market, which I work at each night is a great place for promoting my products, meeting people and selling. My new Silk Soap with Tussah sil...
