I hope you’re all great weekend so far. Last weekend, the family and I celebrated the New Year at a nearby beach. It was a blast, but now we are “back to reality” with chores and projects around the house. In soapy business news, I have been working with a designer to come up with cute soapy logos. Below is one of my favorites. =) We are currently working on putting them on various items, such as totes, mugs and aprons. Thanks for voting on Instagram!
Are you making any fun projects today? If you need some inspiration, check out my favorite pins, tweets and ‘grams from last week. =)
Top left to right, clockwise:
- Made by Mineral Mud Soap, this Vanilla Bean Soap looks like creamy liquid gold!
- I have recently fallen in love with decorating china and glasses. This Dishwasher Safe Painted Teacups Dishes DIY is adorable, and I like that the designs are durable.
- The rich color of this Hefewizen Handmade Artisan Beer Soap by Sagegold Soaps is beautiful. The “foam” on top is a nice touch.
- Figs are so delicious, and they look amazing on top of this Fresh Fig and Lemon Cream Tart. Now I just need to buy a tart pan. =)

Below are just some (!!) of the soapy projects from 2015. It was a good year for soap here at Bramble Berry! If you missed my favorite tutorials from last year, check out the list here. Can you pick a favorite from the photo below? I think I have to go with the Mermaid Tail Cold Process. =)
Below on the left is an eclipse inspired cold process soap. The embeds were made with the Mini Moon Silicone Column Mold and Mini Round Silicone Column Mold. On the right is the spin swirl soap shown in this video. The colors were inspired by the Pantone colors of the year for 2016, rose quartz and serenity.

- What does it take to write a hit song? This article looks at how formulaic the process has become. It’s no wonder so many pop songs sound the same!
- If you made a humble New Years resolution, you will get a kick out of Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s resolution.
- I have been creating and testing a series of natural cleaning products. This startup on Shark Tank has some great ideas, and the results are impressive.
- Images are so important for quality websites. Here are some useful tips for optimizing images for search engine rankings.
I hope you’re having a great Saturday. To keep up with the latest soapy social media throughout the week, you can follow me on Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Pinterest, Vine and YouTube and Snapchat. To watch my ‘stories’, which include sneak peeks into future projects, add me. I’m Bramble-Berry on Snapchat. Don’t forget to tag your soapy projects on Instagram with the hashtag #SoapShare so I can see what you’re making! =)
The keep calm logos are adorable! How do you design these or what program do you use to make them? My favorite soap is probably either the sunset bar or goldmine bar. I love how every year you make a bath and beauty product inspired by the Pantone color of the year! I enjoyed the “9 Phrases Smart People Never Use In Conversation” post; I’m going to work on number 8.
Keep up the soapy social media round-ups! They’re my favorites.
Thank you so much Olivia, glad you like the logos! They were drawn by hand then digitized. Thanks so much for your sweet comment! 🙂
