The Official Blog of Sailor Mouth Soaps

I'm very excited to announce that this Christmas you will be able to find Sailor Mouth Soap goodies among other amazing local handmade products at a unique pop-up-shop at the  Mount Ommaney Centre  just off the Centenary Motorway. It's run by the lovely ladies at  Collective Avenue  and is open full trading hours for the shopping centre, plus they have loads of parking! You know how hard parking is at Christmas time huh. As a special treat, a lot of the products available will be totally new to the range! I won't give too much away but suffice to say, my love and obsession with animals features quite a bit. Stay tuned on  Facebook  for sneak peeks of new stock going in and as the shop launches, pictures of the stall too.

I was out shopping the other day for, among other things, a new soap dish. I was looking and looking and actually found quite a few. They all looked nice but unfortunately, I knew from experience that they weren't actually suitable for holding a wet cake of soap. Why is that you ask? Well they were all flat, or worse still, bowl shaped! There were no ridges or grates or holes to help get air flow to the soap and prevent it from turning into a jelly-like mess. And then it hit me, soap gets such a bad name by the liquid soap crowd and I think badly designed soap dishes are mostly to blame! No wonder some people can't be convinced to switch to a good quality bar soap (saving a lot of plastic from landfill mind you) when the only experience they've ever had is a soggy bar of soap that barely lasts more than a week. What an absolute tragedy to think so many people miss out on the tactile bliss of bar soap because they've got the wrong soap dish. I sympathise though,...

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. There's a few other animal rescue groups I've worked with or donated to, including:- Siberian Husky Rescue Inc. ...
