Introducing Jezebel - A Handmade Soap Story

Jezebel Handmade Soap
Originally uploaded by blsoaps

A sexy little bottle walked into my soap room and seduced me into soaping her. The beautiful scents of juicy berries, rich coconut milk and decadent roses blended with Egyptian Vanilla and Amber Musk, and enticed ALL my senses!

When it came to naming this sexy little scent, I wanted a name that captured the full beauty of its depth. When someone suggested Jezebel, I knew that was her name!

Name Contest Winner

You know what? Sometimes I really suck at time management! LOL! Back on September 22nd I started a contest to help me name a soap. I had information both here on my blog, as well a thread on Etsy.

I have had the name picked out for a while now, but I wanted to get a photograph of the soap before I blogged about the winner.

Urbbody suggested Grinch Stole my Fragrance and immediately told me she was joking. But you know what? I TOTALLY fell in love with the name! I dug through some photos to see if I could find something that worked with it, and I did!


Urbbody, I'll be contacting you privately about sending you these two bars of soap! And I wanted to thank everyone for all the help they've given me! There were so many awesome names in that thread, but this one just tugged at my humor, and I fell in love with it! Thank you so much!!!

Name That Soap Contest!!!

I admit it, I goofed. I was making soap recently, I wanted a nice pretty green on green swirl for my Christmas Pine Soap. It turned out wonderful. Then as I was cleaning up, I saw the bottle of fragrance oil STILL sitting on the counter.

So I now have 5 lbs of a beautiful, but unscented, green swirled soap.

Sigh....

I always name my soaps based on their scent. So I am at a complete loss as to what to name this soap. So I am leaving it up to all of my readers! Help me name this soap!!! PLEASE!!!

Please post your suggestions in the comments section, and once I choose the name from the choices offered, I'll send the winner a free bar of this beautiful soap, as well as a bar of our Christmas Pine (you know, the scent this was SUPPOSED to be! LOL!). So two bars of soap just for helping me name my new soap!

Let the creative juices flow!!! Feel free to make as many suggestions as you'd like!

Super Busy Soaping Week!

We've had a super busy soaping week! So busy that we actually have completely run out of Shea Butter and Castor Oil, and we're almost out of Coconut Oil and Palm Oil. Luckily we have a big shipment of oils that are scheduled to arrive on Wednesday! Yay!!!

We've also had an AWESOME experience using the new soap molds my dad made for me. These molds are exactly the same length as the freezer paper that I use to line them. So no more trimming!!! Yay!!! No more Waste!!! Double Yay!!! These new molds really are a dream come true! (you can see them in the first picture)

Currently on the Curing Racks:

Oceania Shea Butter Soap
Vixen Shea Butter Soap
Wisdom Facial Soap
Gingered Orange Spice
Breakfast Bar

New in the Soaping Line Up!!!

That gorgeous Red Loaf up at the top is a new Fragrance. It is absolutely amazing!!! Smells like a delicious mug of Spiced Apple Cider! Then that light green soap is a new essential oil blend, Winter Wonderland. It has Virginia Cedarwood, Balsam Fir, Wintergreen, Spearmint and a hint of Cinnamon. It's really awesome, I love it!!!

We absolutely LOVE this soap though >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

We originally made our Gingered Orange Spice last year as a holiday soap, but it was so popular, we decided to keep it year round! It's rich scent is all natural, a blend of essential oils. Ginger, Orange, Cinnamon & Clove, and the top is dusted with ground cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. This is one you definitely need to try! We only have one bar available in our shop right now, but this batch should be ready by early October!
