Lavender Rose


Blending essential oils with perfume oils normally turns out to be somewhat tricky.
Lately , however, it seems to go quite well.
Perfume oil of garden roses mixed with essential oils of lavender, lavandin, and a hint of teatree with lime, made a very welcome soap.
Especially nice to have on Valentine's Day to give away to that special person.

2 weeks ago a nice client of mine wanted to have some natural soaps with diverse blends of essential oils. One of the soaps also nicely with fresh biological goat milk ( which I buy here at the Farm nearby).So she made these lovely pictures from the products I delivered. She is really a great photographer! ( photographs: Jolanda M.)Lots of luck with your lovely Shop Jolanda!

Starry Night..


Yesterday the sky was full with stars. Today it is snowing! So Gioia and I will have a nice walk enjoying the snow.
I got inspired by all this beauty so here is a new soap. She smells like lilac with lavender and a creamy hint of limes.
Enjoy this time of year!
Candles, cosy fires and a glass of wine with our loved ones.
Why not enjoying it every day?

Lavender




The smell of lavenderbuds is very calming and relaxing. The magic of these little flowers, is allways present.

Unfortunately, they will turn into brown colour when putting it in the mould. Only some on the topping will have their lovely colour.Cornflowers I did not try in the soap yet. These have a lovely bright blue colour, as a topping. I use them in my goat milk soaps, with some nice lilac odour.
