The Never Ending Supply of Soap!!

 I know Halloween JUST finished and its now onto the next holiday...yup, I'm going to say it CHRISTMAS!! I could celebrate all things Christmas all year. I love it that much! I love the lights, wreaths, christmas villages, festive storefront windows, the gathering of loved ones over warm comforting meals and yes, even the snow...I LOVE snow!
The part I dislike the most about Christmas are big box stores and the dreaded trips to the mall. I am actually proud of myself I have not done a single christmas shopping trip to my local mall in 3+ years. I stick to independently owned shops and buy from local artisans, I support local at any opportunity I can. There is a extraordinary amount of talented people living amongst us creating beautiful and unique things.

 Some years I struggle to come up with unique and useful gifts. For anyone that knows me I ALWAYS give useful gifts. I hate the idea of something sitting on a shelf collecting dust. I sometimes rotate giving a useful gift to different people different years (or the same)..secrets out!

This year Soulful Soap has decided to create a monthly soap subscription. You can sign up through our website (http://soulfulsoap.bigcartel.com/product/monthly-soap-delivery) for any length of time ranging from 2 months to 1 year. For each month you will receive 2 bars of soap. Each month we feature one bar of soap that goes out with the monthly soap subscriptions and is on sale for the entire month. The second bar of soap is a surprise based on your scent profile that you will fill out once you sign up!

This is the perfect gift for yourself or other handmade soap lovers in your life. Having two bars of soap delivered to your house every month will make sure you never ever run out of soap ever again!

This unique shop specializes in vintage and upcycled wares, such as furniture, apparel, jewelry and fashion & home accessories. Humblepie promises to be a one-stop shop retreat for customers in search of something beautiful, useful and unique. Many of Humblpies' items will be 'one offs', not 'off the shelf', and a lot of them celebrate a bygone era of quality manufacturing that is unlikely to return. Their stock is ever-changing, and although diverse, everything they sell shares a common thread of great design, craftsmanship or engineering that has stood the test of time. However, Humblepie would like to offer more than a great deal or a nostalgic trip; and by breathing new life into tired vintage items, they can all help to reduce, re-use and recycle.

Humblepie is part of the monthly James St. North art crawl which occurs the 2nd friday of every month. Stop by, say hi to their shop dog Jackson and pick up a fresh natural bar of Soulful Soap and browse their many unique one of a kind items!

Welcome!

Welcome to the blog of Soulful Soap. This is the place where you will see what new healing or delicious soaps are being made in the southern Ontario neck of the woods.
A lot of people ask me why I got into making my own soap when it is a very assessable and relatively cheap item to purchase. About a year ago I started experiencing irritated dry skin. This new skin aliment happened after moving into a new house in a new city as well as starting a new job. Trying to make the connection as to why I constantly had dry itchy skin (pruritus) I started to read ingredient labels on everything I bought and already had floating around the house. I found that more than 75% of ingredients listed were all man made chemicals that I had no idea how they were created nor what was used to create them. I decided right on the spot that I was going to start living as natural as possible and even more green then before. I started doing research right away on soap making and the rest was history, including my itchy skin. I'm proud to say that we make all natural soap with an ingredient list that you can pronounce.


This blog will be a resource for all natural products available at Soulful Soap, green living and everyday life around here on our little piece of country in the Big Steel City.
