Hullo Hullo Dirty Coyote Followers!

We're extremely apologetic for the lack of activity. Did no one ever tell you that coyotes could hibernate too? Well, now you know! 

There's a lot of activity going on in the Dirty 'Yoter den as we approach the colder seasons. Plenty of Cinnamon and Warm Milk and Honey soaps to be following. :) 

I promise some WIP pictures, as soon as my delayed shipment of raw materials arrive. The mixing bowls, soap blender and moulds are itching for use again, and will be started off with a batch of real Cinnamon and Cinnamon EO soap. Simply can't wait to be making soaps again, it's been nearly quarter of a year! Life really gets the better of you, but not any more. :) 

I hope you've all has absolutely wonderful summers, enjoying the heat and revelling in life itself! I can't wait to get chatting again to all you other artisans, soapmakers and all-natural products lovers.

With love, heart and soul,

Rachael

I've been busy...

All of these are raw [lard+lye] soaps and need to cure for at least another week or two before they can be used. But in the meantime I already have lots of different scents of handmade caffeine soaps available in my shop -

 Real soap is distinct from commercial bars in that they contain natural glycerin that is removed in the making of detergent bars like Dial, Irish Spring, Olay, ect. These glycerin's are harvested and used to make lotions. So they literally make their 'soap' in a manner that dries out your skin and then offer you lotion for an additional cost to fix the problem they created. Real soap is also harder, and; if allowed to drain properly, will last longer then a commercial bar.

 One bar this size [the rectangular slices] can clean two people in excess of twice a day for at least a month.
