The Official Blog of Sailor Mouth Soaps

You've probably noticed that I have a real soft spot for animals. It's no secret that I'm passionate about protecting animals and because I feel so strongly, I make it a part of my business as well. Last year  Saffron on the Hill Inc  ( Not-for-profit organisation that rescues, rehabilitates and  rehomes dogs, including quite a few Pugs!) used some of my Pug Soaps at a charity auction to fundraise for vet bills and I just received this wonderful email to let me know how it went:- Hi Thank you again, letting you know that your item and contributions enabled Saffron on the Hill to pay for almost a full surgery for Bob, and large contribution to Daisy's surgery. Thank you for your wonderful products. Kindest regards Karen McVeigh Yaaaaaaaaaay! That makes me so happy. I absolutely love to hear back and find out how everything went.

If you follow me on  Facebook  you might have seen the little post asking whether you would be prepared to pay a little bit more for Palm Oil Free & Organic products. I should probably explain.

It's worth pointing out that running a business with so many considerations is not without its complications. Many, many times I have come acros...

If you follow my  Facebook Fan Page  you may have seen my post the other day above how I've been having tonnes of fun trying out some really cool new molds. That has to be one of my favorite parts about my job, it's SO exciting to unmold a new creation the first time. You never know what you'll get <3 That being said, it doesn't always work out. Sometimes I underestimate the amount of soap needed to fill the mold and I end up with a soap that's perfect but slightly smaller than usual. Or I get so excited dancing around to whatever far-too-loud music I'm currently listening to that I forget the fragrance. Ooops. Thankfully the fragrance thing doesn't happen too often but 10g underweight soaps happens more than I like :P So if you're keen to get to a sneak peak of some upcoming soap designs pre-release or if you would like to see how good a naturally based, glycerin rich, moisturising soap can make your skin feel (ie. no more itchy, dry skin!) th...
