*Update - Monty has been adopted by a very active woman (she runs marathons!) and she can take him to work! How great is that? Super happy ending :)* There's a few things happening at Sailor Mouth Soaps headquarters and it's high time for another blog post so here we go. Firstly, we are taking on another foster dog. This little dude is named Monty and he should be here in the next half an hour, yay! He's the second dog we've fostered so far and I'm very excited about getting him ready for his forever home :) If you're interested in fostering yourself, you can contact  Animal Rescue QLD *Update - here's Monty!* Now onto the business update. * New scrubs - these are slowly being released. It kills me to have them "product ready" but due to bad weather conditions here in Brisbane, taking a decent photo has been outside the realms of possibility over the last few weeks. I'm also waiting on packaging, labels etc. Releasing a new produc...

The new web store is up and running! I mean that in the most practical sense of the word. It's there, you can buy stuff but it's woefully stock standard and boring to look at. I'm trying to tackle that at the moment so there may be times when it's down for maintenance but hopefully not for too long <3 I'm one of those people that likes to figure things out for themselves (it's the best way for me to learn) so bare with me while it's a bit clunky :) I'd prefer to wait a bit longer to open it up but judging by my last Etsy sellers fee bill, it's Big Cartel or rob a bank! Just kidding. But in all seriousness it's very expensive to sell on Etsy, especially for small items like I sell. When most of your products are around the $5 mark, listing fees and commissions quickly add up. But enough of that. Let me tell you how easy it is to shop on Big Cartel. Firstly, you don't need to register for an account! I know some of my customers will ...

Hello my lovelies. I just wanted to give you a heads up that as I'm changing over to Big Cartel from Etsy as my primary shopfront, there might be a few soaps that get missed in the shuffle or I take ages to re-list. If you're on the hunt for something and you can't seem to find it, just leave me a message on  Facebook ,  Twitter , here on my blog or send me a convo through  Etsy  and I'll get back to you asap and hook you up with the sweet, soapy goodness. Thank you! xx

Congrats to Natasha Andrews, you have won  the giveaway! I'll be in contact with you soon to organise postage. Thanks to everyone that entered! xx

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...
