Hello, everyone! Since our announcement regarding our participation to the GBK Academy Awards (Oscars) Gift Lounge via the Artisan Group, we have been working on building a table display for our designer glycerin soaps.

We brainstormed different concepts on how to make the soap stand out; amongst these ideas, we thought of:

  • beautiful soap glass dishes from our friend Beth at BPR Designs
  • baskets in the form of a bath tub
  • bamboo soap dishes
  • seashell soap dishes
  • tree trunk soap dishes
  • rock soap dishes
  • soap dishes made from bonsai containers with river stones

Then, we realized that, in order to show the beauty of each individual bar, they had to be inclined at 45° (not laying flat) so any kind of soap dish was out of the question because the soap would slide. As far as the basket goes, the bars would overlap and hide each other. Not a good idea.  Another thing we had to consider was the color of the display… it had to be dark and blend with the background, so the focus would be on the colorful soap.

Anyway, after a lot of research and some drawing, we decided to go with a black velvet jewelry display adjusted to our needs.

Here are a few “behind-the-scenes” pictures from our process:

Step 1: Deciding on the configuration.

Step 2: Building and testing our prototype.

Step 3: Working on the actual display. We glued the custom made acrylic pieces that support the soap bars.

Step 4: Allowing to dry overnight. Le Petit Larousse comes to the rescue once again! I suppose having a minor in French and dozens of dictionaries helps once in a while. :)

Step 5: Taking pictures of the final display. Ta-da!! The picture is not as sharp as I want it to be; it was overcast here in Stockton, California.

As you can see, the soap bars to be displayed are: Cherry Vanilla, Lemon Lavender, Two to Tango, Seaside (coming soon online), Watermelon and the Believe in You Butterfly. You can find them on our website at www.MagicSenses.com.

Please feel free to leave any comments! :)

While our Cool Rhythm handcrafted glycerin soap is perfect for the tranquil days of spring and summer, we like to think this clean scent delivers a jolt of liveliness all year-round. A blend of cucumber and sweet, juicy melon offers a stimulating cleansing experience that promises to invigorate the start of your day.

Every Magic Senses bar of soap is packed with its own unique personality. The designs of a particular scent follow a basic style, but your soap is always a one-of-a-kind creation. With a gentle moisturizing effect – you can thank the vegetable glycerin and other non-irritating ingredients that make up the soap. This means if you have sensitive, dry skin or battle with a skin condition (like eczema or psoriasis) – you can use our soap without any consequences.

Share the Rhythm with Others

The cucumber and melon scent of our Cool Rhythm handmade soap makes an uplifting gift for new and expecting moms, birthday guys and gals, and teenage girls. You can also pass on the rhythm to someone who needs a pick-me-up – perfect for a get-well gesture or a loved one recovering from a personal setback. Just like a rhythm that calls out your name, the scent of Cool Rhythm soap is hard to ignore.

Supporting the Dizzy Feet Foundation

If you’re ready to take advantage of the ultra-moisturizing qualities of vegetable glycerin soap, Cool Rhythm not only gives you fruity sensations, but the soap also gives back to the community. Our Cool Rhythm soap is part of the Dance Soap Collection, which donates 20% of every bar sold within the Collection to assist talented, less fortunate young dancers achieve their dreams. We support the Dizzy Feet Foundation, which was founded in 2009 by producer Nigel Lythgoe, director Adam Shankman, “Dancing with the Stars” judge Carrie Ann Inaba and actress Katie Holmes.

With summer comes warmer, longer days where thoughts of escaping to a relaxing getaway get harder to ignore. The weather also brings visions of exhilarating tropical locales and island jaunts, including Tahiti – one of the largest islands located in the southern Pacific Ocean. When you long for the swaying of palm trees, black sand beaches, and scents of leisure, Magic Senses has you covered.

We think it’s time that you embrace the cooling sensation of Tahitian Breeze glycerin soap – an instant vacation contained in a 6-ounce bar of handmade soap. Set in a fresh aqua base with soap flakes of “white coconut,” you’ll come one step closer to sipping a pina colada on a sun-drenched shoreline.

Give the Gift of Tropical Scents

Our handcrafted Tahitian Breeze glycerin soap is a one-of-a-kind treat that also makes a unique gift for family and friends. One of the things that set our soap from others on the market is that no two soaps are ever exactly the same – in shape, color and design. The uplifting scents of soaps, such as Tahitian Breeze, make special get-well gestures and offer an effective way to send your condolences.

Tropical-scented soaps also bring back memories for avid travelers who long to have the fragrance of their tropical adventures close at hand. For a more extravagant display, consider creating a gift basket of tropical-themed soaps. Try our similar scents, such as the tropical fruitiness of Mango Papaya, the salty air of Seaside, the romantic waves of Hawaii, and the marine sights of Oceans.

The Advantages of Glycerin Soap

Introduce a loved one to the gentle cleansing power of Magic Senses soaps – made with vegetable glycerin, fragrance oil, coloring, water, and love. Users with sensitive skin, eczema or psoriasis who choose our glycerin soap will also sidestep the irritating chemicals of commercial products that leave skin excessively dry and agitated. If you’re looking to moisturize and promote healthy skin, why not choose a soap that transports your mind and body to the enchantment of Tahiti?
