The Official Blog of Sailor Mouth Soaps

Long time followers might remember before Christmas last year I introduced the "Mystery Grab Bag"! Link to original post I'm offering these again for the same great price. For $15 you get: 3x Handmade soaps 1x Soy wax melt 1x Lip balm That's $30 value (at least)! Just pay $6.80 shipping and these babies can be shipped immediately within Australia. For $11.00 shipping you can buy as many as you want. I've been told these are a good way to get a "gift cupboard" going, for when you accidentally forget someones birthday and you have no time to run out and pick up a present, pronto! Simply email me at sailormouthsoaps (at) gmail (dot) com to grab yours. Only available for a short time.

Hi everyone! Happy Holidays :) So I thought I should give you a little update on the whole moving house thing. Sadly the contract has had to be pushed back because of delays with financiers, solicitors, agents etc so it looks like we won't be moving until the end of January now. It's a blessing and a curse, I didn't really fancy moving so soon after the craziness of Christmas but I also don't want to wait until the hottest month of the year! But there isn't anything we can do now but wait on the last few pieces to fall into place and then we can start the final packing. Needless to say, my secret board on  Pinterest  has been getting a work out with all the cool things I want to do to the new house. I'd make it public but I'm weirdly superstitious about jinxing it! What I though might be nice is to offer an "in stock" sale. Firstly because I'm feeling generous and secondly, because I would like to have less to move, LOL. So what I...

Ohh hai! I've been busy as a bee these last few weeks, my vacation actually = "workcation".

Here's all the deets- Use code MAKEWAY in my Big Cartel webstore  http://sailormouthsoaps.bigcartel.com/  for 25% off all in-stock items. Expires 23rd June 2012 at 11:59pm.

I know everyone says this but WOW, the time has flown. Sailor Mouth Soaps is celebrating our 2nd birthday this month and I have presents for YOU! I can always send you a link to my amazon wish list if you want to return the favour (jokes) but it's probably more fun to give you the presents <3 This birthday we are doing things a little differently. The month has been split up into 5 segments and each segment has a different special offer! Everything from free stuff with your order, to discounted purchases and even free shipping. Just enter the correct coupon code at the right time and WAH-BAM, free/cheap stuff will be coming your way. Newsletter subscribers, you would have received a newsletter with all of the details this morning. Those that aren't newsletter subscribers...well you're going to have to wait a little longer *whispers - I did tell you* muhahaha. Here's a picture of my Pug Herman at this own birthday party :P PS - how do you like my new banne...

I've just logged into my  Etsy  store and holey moley, I've reached 1000 sales! That's a pretty awesome goal to hit after only 18 months in business - thank you so much to all of my loyal customers <3 Even though I wasn't planning to do a sale this month, I've become overwhelmed with heart-swelly goodness, so all orders placed today in my  BigCartel  store using code 1000 can take advantage of 10% off all products in the  Halloween Spooky Soaps  category. Thank you again for your support, seriously, thank you!

I've been giving this a lot of thought and I've made the decision to move most of my products sales away from Etsy and sell on Big Cartel instead. The fees to sell on Etsy are quite high and quite frankly as a store owner, I haven't been getting the support from them I was expecting so it's time to move on. I'll still keep the store front and sell my most popular items but the majority of my sales will be coming from Big Cartel. I want to keep the best sellers on there because even though it's not a great site for store owners, it's a great site to shop and if you've already got an account, it's very convenient and great to browse through. Here's the address for the new shop  http://sailormouthsoaps.bigcartel.com/ So because of this, I won't be renewing some of my less popular (and soon to be discontinued) soaps on Etsy, I've moved them to the  SALE  section so you can grab a bargain! Here's a sneak peak of some of the soaps avail...

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...

I've been about ready to burst with excitement for the last few weeks as very soon, I'll be able to release a whole range of new products! Soon you will see new products like:- Lip balms Solid perfume creams Soy wax melts Facial cleansing mousse  New scrubs Room & linen spray Bath milks (vegan of course :P) Mineral bath soaks Whipped butters Solid lotions To make way for the lovely new things, I'm having a  humongous 20% off sale in my  Etsy store . Here's a sneak peak of the kinds of goodies you can pick up on sale:- Everything in my  Etsy store  right now is in stock and ready to ship. Just use coupon code "SHINYNEWTHINGS"at check-out for your 20% discount to apply storewide (excl. shipping). I'll be holding a competition to win some of my new product releases before long so make sure you keep up to date with my  Facebook  and  Twitter  pages for more information. If you have a super idea on how to run the competit...

Interested in trying out my natural soaps at a half the regular price? I've just listed in  my Etsy store  a mystery bag of  not-so-perfect-yet-still-lovely  soaps that need a new home. You will get around 200g of soap for only $5! These poor ugly ducklings are the result of experiments, are a little too small for regular sale or have a ding or two from being transported to and from market stalls. Ugly duckling soaps will be listed from time to time, as my epic failing permits, so hop on over to  my store  and take a look before they all sell out and you have to wait for another mistake :P see more dog and puppy pictures
