After we made the soap for the display, we had to make 100 bars of soap (50 Cool Rhythm and 50 Soft Rain) to be included in the swag bags for celebrities. This took us a little longer than usual because we were extremely tired after the busy Holiday season.

We took some pictures along the way so we can share. Here we go…

We’ve been asked many times: how do you cut it? Do you have a soap cutter, a machine or something? Well, not really! We just use a big pizza knife and a little bit of precision. Our hand cutting is not perfect but we are getting better with every bar we cut!

If you get a bigger bar than the 6 oz you paid for, well… put the blame on us and enjoy! And yes, those on the side are samples. As a rule of thumb, we send at least one sample (in whatever fragrance we have available) with every order.

Have I told you 100 bars is a lot?! It doesn’t seem like it but, trust me, when you make and wrap each and every one of them in a short time, you have a different perspective! Here is more soap!

…and more…

Our display holds 5 bars of soap in the following fragrances: Cherry Vanilla, Watermelon, Lemon Lavender, Two to Tango, Seaside and a “Believe in You” Butterfly soap (scented in soft Sweet Pea).

This morning we finished cutting and wrapping Cherry Vanilla and Seaside; from each batch, we chose a winning bar to be famous in a couple of months:

“After receiving a Magic Senses glycerin soap as a gift, I had to look more into this local company! I logged onto their website to learn more about the company and ended up placing an order within about ten minutes. “Lemon Drops” and “Cherry Vanilla” were among many scents that sounded right up my alley.

We have very exciting news! In February 2012, we’ll be participating to the GBK Academy Awards Gift Lounge!

Our designer glycerin soap will be displayed for celebrities to see and smell. It will also be included in one hundred swag bags for attending guests.

We haven’t decided which of the soaps to send yet. We are debating if we should make a LIMITED EDITION design or just send some of our most loved ones… We’ll have to make a decision soon so if you have a top favorite, let us know below!

Many thanks to ALL our customers, friends and family for choosing, using and spreading the word about our handcrafted soap throughout the years.

Big thank you to The Artisan Group! They’ll be our ambassadors to this very exciting event.

As we go along, we’ll keep you updated on our journey; we’ll post pictures and other info. Please join us on Facebook and Twitter and be the first to know details of our “behind-the-scenes” process. You can even recommend us to Oprah, if you love our product!

Love,
