I have a passion for the soap making, and other handicrafts, and love to share my passion with you, my customers. Handmade soaps made with all natural ingredients, most of which are organic. Made in small batches. My soaps have no hidden ingredients. So, go ahead, indulge yourself.

Nom nom iced chai latte with coconut milk and one of those chicken salad wraps with Thai peanut sauce boxes. My favorite summer combo. (at Starbucks)

Already at 8:30 in the morning, it feels like you're breathing a bowl of peas soup. Do not get me wrong, I love #lazysummerdays so it should make things interesting. Make sure you stay hydrated and you wear plenty of sunscreen when you're outside. But, for now, I think it is time for a delicious #icedcoffee , don't you?

[spaindulgences]

A little bit of #gardenporn for this morning. I hope it helps people who need a little cheering up by some happy little flowers.

I order heart worm meds and the pharmaceutical flea drops from #doctorsfosterandsmith . Look at the size of this cookie that they sent in the box of meds. Oh, and don't worry, Monet is making short work of it right now. He loves their gigantic cookies. And for a little 17 pound #lhasaapso that's saying a lot.

Sitting here at #gettysburgstarbucks looking at our beautiful mountains. I love this view. (at Starbucks)

A far and shady corner of the common yard, there is a wee little fairy garden that surrounds a black locust tree. It was started by a neighbor in the building. It has been poorly kept up since they left unfortunately. (It is unfortunate that they left, and it is fortunate that the garden back there has been poorly kept.) now that my back for the most part is all peachy keen now, and I'm doing a lot of yardwork out here, I decided to take it upon myself to go to the side door where there are smaller gardens, and divide the four different ferns that we have over there. I took a little chunk with the rhizome and fronds from ones that were either being buried alive essentially, or entire plants that were being burned by the sun, or rise him chunks from the back of ones that were thriving. I then proceeded to transplant those for rhizome divisions into the little rear garden of rocks. It is beautifully shady back there and I hope to Stockett with some very nice and colorful and beautifully texturized succulents. I think it will make a very nice space. There is a bench that was made by large granite blocks that they found and repurposed and some old posts and some carriage bolts. There's also a little stone table that they also created from discarded granite blocks and a slate stone. If for no one else's enjoyment but my own. I think if there is some more foliage back here and it was better talk to James and differing to do now, now that the more front presentation portion of the yard is seemingly under control now, it will be a lovely place to just sit. And the yard is pretty quiet except for my fountain, so I think it would be a lovely space to just sit and meditate and think.

Today's excerpt from my #containergarden full of #wildflowers

[spaindulgences]

At the #gettysburgstarbucks with and iced chai latte and one of the delicious Thai peanut wraps. I'm not a fan of wraps, but this one is great. It's a new favorite. The tortilla isn't soggy and the lettuce is crisp. The sauce is just spicy enough. So good. Thanks! It will be my new #regularnoms :) (at Starbucks)

Just a few of the #Wildflowers that I put into my garden on my deck the spring. And now that the temperatures have pretty much even doubt, everything is germinating and sprouting and budding and it's gorgeous. Every day gets more fruitful. We went from freezing cold, slight spring, cold, and then hot. We really didn't have an in between. We did not have a spring. And spring time is when things germinate and grow. Now everything is catching up. And it's doing so in a hurry. Because they know that summer will not last forever. It is only a few months. Only a few months until starts getting cool again. They want to experience all the little plant life has to offer for they must die and go dormant. I think we could all learn a lot from the little wildflowers in my container garden. #lifeisshort #livelifetothefullest and most importantly, just #be (at Spa Indulgences by Niki)

A beautiful day in #gettysburg. Tourists are light and Culp's hill beckoned. But of course I must pause for #cattle.

Labeling some Signature #unscentedsoap bars. These buyers are great for people especially with sensitive skin. For those who are concerned about the welfare of animals and their rights you will be pleased to know that these are #Vegan so no animals are tested nor harmed in the making of the soap. It is made by my own two hands and I am the only one that test on themselves. Started making soap because of my extremely sensitive skin. These soaps do not cause any irritation to my skin. Neither do any of the fragranced soaps that I have. I test all of my recipes on myself and willing friends and family. I haven't figured out if they're excited about it or not. But anyway, the #unscented bars are listed right now on my store. Go pick one up for yourself. These were originally a special order batch and I have leftovers. So grab them while they last. But don't worry, when are sold out, I will always make sure that there is some in stock. Http://spa-indulgences-by-Niki.com and of course if you have any questions or comments or whatever you can drop me a line directly through my site. I look forward to hearing from you and I hope you enjoy my soaps and bath bombs and other fantastic products that I have available for you. (at Spa Indulgences by Niki)

Wore Monet out with our hike yesterday. Still sound asleep and currently has no desire to dog. Good thing it's #caturday. Dogging is not a requirement. #lazysaturday #dog #dogs #dogsofinstagram #lhasaapso #sleepypuppy

[spaindulgences]

In the common yard in my jammies after a long hike with my dog. I just finished shower and decided to come out here and sit in the beautiful evening. Well sitting I was contemplating to myself what my next product or set of products I want to make are, what needs to be listed on my site and in the shop. It's what I always do. Come out here and I ponder and I think way too much. But before this this past week I've been busy listing my entire #handmadesoap master list as #madetoorder loaves. This includes my signature bars (which are #vegan by the way) my #goatsmilksoap and #greekyogurtsoap bars. She would like to see all of my hard work and what is available to you, including a 12 bar assortment set I encourage you to head on over to my website, look around, and share it with your friends. Right now I have a Father's Day collection, which features some of my favorite bars with daddy in mind, and even some #youngliving products that I think he would enjoy greatly. And don't forget grandpa, they like to be thought of for #fathersday too. Just head on over to http://spa-indulgences-by-Niki.com

This has been another episode of nighttime facemask theater. #goodnight

Someone is unimpressed with the opera I've chosen on #ThrMetOnDemand tonight, and it isn't me.
