Sugar Bush Primitives - Hand Made Soap


Some people love chocolate, some spend a pile of money on wine. I spend a minor amount of my hard earned cash on my favorite treat...soap! Yes, I admit it, I indulge in luxurious showers and baths, complete with candles, soft music, a glass of wine and...see where this is going...soap! How can soap be my favorite treat? It usually dries the skin among other things. But, hand made soap? Now here's a treat you do not want to miss!

Have you ever tried a bar of real, home made soap? Chances are, if you have, you have never gone back to the stuff we buy in the grocery store. Hand made soap is simply good. It is better for your skin, because it is made in a natural process by people who have researched, experimented, tested (many times on their friends & family...I'd pay a membership fee to test this stuff for crafters!) and finally found a recipe that makes a great product that smells great, works better than anything you'll get off the grocer's shelf and is kind to your skin.

My little stash of heaven was getting low, so I decided to try a new product from a crafter I hadn't bought from before. Yes, I believe in supporting small, home businesses when I can! I called upon Sugar Bush Primitives in my search through the web for a great product at a decent price. As I searched their site, I realized this is a busy bunch of gals. Not only do they offer hand made soap, but candles and primitive needfuls and more is available from Sugar Bush.

Their prices were awesome as far as I was concerned. They offered a variety of wonderful scents. The shopper in me decided to try several, because after all, good prices, decent shipping prices and a great web site that is often updated means a company that takes pride in their products. So I ordered!

I'm a cynic! Ordering from the web always provides a potluck experience for dinner. You might get what you ordered, you might not. It is a chance we take when we try a new business that we have never heard of. Imagine my surprise when Mary from Sugar Bush answered my e-mails within an hour or so. Even more surprising, within a day, I had an e-mail that told me my soap (yummy..can't wait...planning my bath already!) had been shipped, and I had a tracking number to keep an eye on my package's process through the postal service.

Within a few days, my Sugar Bush Primitive Soaps had arrived. My medley of scents included Country Roads, Raspberry Jasmine, Country Apple and Berry Pickin'. Mary had included a sample bar of a Lavender soap that is now one of my favorites. Though I have not used them all...some indulgences simply need to wait for a good time...I have tried my Country Roads soap. It was my first choice because a description from Mary stated that it was great for men, but when no one was looking...she would sneak a bar into her bath too!

I'm tellin' ya ladies and gents if you have never used a bar of hand made soap, hop on over to Sugar Bush, buy a bar for $3.50 and sneak into a hot tub. You won't regret it!

Psst...

Maybe I'll decide to share one day! If you would like to see a soap giveaway, shoot me a message here.

I was fortunate to work with Mary and sample her soaps, candles AND her candy. Yummy.
