I’m going to try and blog this all out so it’ll make sense in my head.

SERAPHIM LEIGH SOAPS is about to go through some major changes.

I recently realized that the base i was using for my soap bars was not the best quality i could be offering.  so i’ve nixxed buying any more base from the junction, and am now ordering base from across the country - much better quality, more natural, and SLS-free!  Of course, this side effect of this is that my prices are going to have to go up a little bit to reflect the shipping cost i’m paying to have the base.  I’m thinking no more than 0.50$ a bar.

Hopefully, i can find good SLS-free base in Toronto somewhere.

Next up, and what i’m really excited about, are lip balms.  I’m fairly certain these guys won’t get too complex, and will stay mainly singular scents that echo many of the soap bars - ie. green apple, watermelon, mandarin, raspberry.

I’ve found an adorable lip balm tube that’s oval shaped, very excited to get those.

I’m also working on labels. Finally.

This is an example of one of the roleplayers soaps (the blue sparkly one)

The mixture of fonts, i’m really fond of, and i think they turned out fantastic.. the baby blue background will not be part of the final product, and these will be printed on circle labels to fit on the dice soap, of course.

Also in the works (aka on my mind) is solid perfume sticks.  this is just sexy.  these will be packaged in black regular lip balm tubes, and will feature the more complex scents — muskoka boathouse, christmas spice — as well as new scents i’ve ordered: instant karma, a duplicate of karma by LUSH: a meditative blend of patchouli, sweet orange, lavendin, pine, lemongrass and elelmi, with notes of incense, amber and musk to ground it, and cranberry yuzu, which i dunno about you, but i got super excited when i read it, it sounds marvellous: this composition blends the exotic Japanese hybrid between a grapefruit and a mandarin with New England’s tartest swamp dwelling berry… the all American cranberry.

These will be matched with the offering of shower gels - very likely starting in 4 oz blue oval bottles, and as soon as i can afford it, also offering a 8 oz version. Colourless.

And a shaving soap. Or two.

I must be insane.

Why was Snow White given a poisoned apple?
 - to show us that not everyone is gonna be kind & not everyone is really who they say they are.

Why did Cinderella run away at midnight? - to remind us that everything does have its limitations, even dreams.

Why did Ariel exchange her fins for feet? - to show us that people are willing to give up anything to be with who they love & to just be happy.

Why did Aurora sleep for 100 years? - to tell us that you might have to wait for quite some time for your true love to come along, sometimes very long, but it’s worth it.

Why did Princess Jasmine fall for Aladdin? - to let us know that what the heart wants, it wants it no matter what.

Why was Belle in love with a Beast? - to remind us that you can’t really help what’s on the outside, but if the inside is beautiful, then nothing will stand in the way of your love.
