Something New and Exciting is Coming your way!

Lots of changes have happened in the last few years since my last post...... Most of all, we have moved to beautiful Delta, UT!  We have a 39 acre farm-big enough for the goats and a field to grow hay.

We have also updated our logo (as shown above!).  Thanks to John Adams for creating this lovely design for us!

Another exciting update is our new website! www.lilyslathers.com  Our new website is user-friendly and makes it easier to find what products would best serve your needs.  You will even see which show we will be selling our products.

Surgery and Delays

Well, our son was scheduled for knee surgery for 9:30 this morning. But it got delayed 'till this afternoon due to his forgetting that he couldn't eat anything. Therefore, the apple he inadvertantly ate caused him to have to wait much longer to eat or drink! So while we were waiting to leave, I had some extra time to make more soap! I made 2 batches of Lavender and a batch of our Tangy Whisper. I added orange peel to it to make it more of a scrub and to give it more of a citrus smell. I think I will like it better this way. I had wanted to make another batch, of which it would have been Cinnamon Oats-N-Honey, but ran out of time. So I will make it in the morning along with 3 other batches of whatever hits my fancy! Maybe I will continue to experiment... We shall see!

(By the way, the surgery went VERY well and our son is on the way to recovery!)

Making More Soap!

Tonight I made 4 more batches of goat milk soap. I created 2 new products! Now we will have Lemon Meringue Pie and Oak Leaves -N- Acorns! The other 2 batches were Unscented and Caribbean Fantasy. I have lots of fragrances and essential oils that I haven't tried yet. I am branching out and experimenting with them. I also placed an order for some new oils for the Fall season. It is fun deciding what new and upcoming scents we will carry!

I am also working on filling several orders that are keeping me busy. I am creating 20 gift baskets for a gal who is giving them away at an Army Volunteer Luncheon. Plus I need to make 4 more batches of Lavender to fill an order of 150 bars. Then I have a friend who is highlighting our soap in the floral section of our local grocery store and wants 50 bars or more. So, I am very busy making soap, soap, and more soap! What fun I am having!

Success Stories

I thought I would write about some of the experiences people have told me about using our soap. I am continuously impressed and pleased that the results I claim for our family is and has been repeated in so many homes. I feel satisfied that our products can and will do what I say they do.

Story #1-My cousin Mauri

Mauri had beautiful skin as a teen then turned 30 and got 'adult on-set acne'. She tried all different kinds of soaps and creams to help control and get rid of the acne. Nothing worked! Then I suggested that she wash her face with my soap to help control the acne. Within my soap, I use essential oils to help heal the skin. So she tried my Eucalyptus soap. It worked! Now she will only use my soap in bathing.

Story #2-Mauri's daughter Brooklyn

Brooklyn has eczema. She tried using different lotion to help soothe her skin. Other lotions burned or irritated or didn't help her skin. She tried my lotion. It worked! It soothes and heals her skin with no irritation!

Story #3-Sandy-nurses aid at my Dr. office

Sandy had a dry patch/rash on her leg. She tried all of ointments that the Dr prescribed. Nothing worked. Then she used my soap. The rash disappeared! When she ran out of my soap, the rash reappeared. She saw me and said, "I need your soap right Now!" So I sold her more! No more rash!

Story #4-Nurses at my Dr. office

Some of the nurses have very dry skin and eczema that is irriated my the wearing of gloves. They use my soap personally to help with moisturizing their skin and healing of their hands.

Story #5-My sister's neighbor

My sister has a neighbor that has an 18 month old boy, who wakes up in the morning with bloody sheets because his eczema is so bad. The mother has tried everything to help her baby. My sister gave her some lotion and soap to use. The mother told her that this is the first lotion she has used that her baby has not cried when applied. She uses the soap and lotion daily to help soothe the eczema.

Story #6-My own daughter Emma

Emma has eczema, but she hasn't had a breakout in more than 2 years!

Changes are Great!

OK! I am now inspired to get on the band-wagon of blogging! Last week I visited with another soap maker, Julie, who inspired me to greater heights! I think I will experiment with some new ingredients such as; lemongrass, cornmeal, and orange peel, to create a gardener's soap. I haven't used any botanicals since I really like our creamy white soap, but maybe something with a bit of color will be fun to work with. I am very excited to experience new things as I continue to enjoy our amazing soap!

I am also involved in a 'show' this weekend, Saturday Sept 26th. All of the things at this 'show' will be handmade or vintage. Here is the link to the 'show': www.fallowfieldfarm.blogspot.com. The site lists all of the vendors that will be there. Enjoy looking and hopefully I'll see you there!
