{Pumpkin Pie Soap is back for the Fall}

We have whipped up a brand new batch of our

and will be available until the end of the year.

We always start with Organic Pumpkin which is loaded with good stuff for your skin like vitamin C, vitamin A, and vitamin E, potassium, alpha-carotene, zinc, beta carotene and enzymes!

This bar looks and smells so delicious!

Announcing a brand new addition to our blog.................drum roll please.................

Monthly product reviews and giveaways.

Starting October 1st we will be reviewing a new and fun product each month

and then featuring it on our blog along with a giveaway of that item.
I love browsing Etsy for new and creative things,
so I thought what better way to introduce them to you
than a feature right here on Handmade Soap Gossip!
So, here is what I need from you.

If you currently have an Etsy shop and would like us to feature your product in an upcoming blog, please comment and I’ll be in touch.
I’d love to see what everyone has been making!
I’d love to share not only your product but your Facebook page and/or Blog as well.
Can’t wait to hear from you!
