Handcrafted Soaps - Lemon Verbena and Peppermint Tea


Springtime is almost here, and not a moment too soon! I am so ready to see little shoots of my peppermint plant in the garden, my beloved daffodils, and the other perennials that manage to survive the harsh winters of NW Wisconsin.

Made with all natural oils and botanicals, my Peppermint Tea handcrafted soap is an invigorating soap for shower or bath, or to keep as a hand soap at the kitchen sink. It's a fragrance loved by everyone, with the possible exception of the family cat.

 Getting ready to make a new batch


 Lemon Verbena bars, freshly cut


Lemon verbena is another fresh fragrance, making these handcrafted soaps a great gift idea that says, 'Happy Springtime' or 'Yea, we survived another winter' or 'I'm thinking of you!'   You can check out all my soaps at my online store, Soap'n'Such.



Looking forward to seeing daffodils,

    I am certainly enjoying the ones I ordered! Oh, and the Raspberry Cheesecake bar has mysteriously disappeared also. LOL Seriously, these soaps are great AND I'm NOT allergic to them!!!!

    Mmmm, I wish you could send smells over the computer! Citrus scents are my favorite.

    I think 'Yea, we survived another winter' would definitely be appropriate. The ones I bought are now gone so time for another order. :) (I love those soaps!)
