Tutorials on soapmaking, bath fizzies, lotions and more
Happy Easter! We had some friendly little critters at our house joining us for Easter. This little chipmunk was so tiny that he literally sat inside the bowl, eating the bird food we had hoped would attract sparrows. I can't say I was disappointed that he ate all the bird food. He is just as cute as … Continue Reading
I get a lot of questions about soap and toiletries. I answer anywhere between 120 - 200 emails, every day. My staff answer that or double that daily. The most frequently asked question I've gotten this year has got to be about making soap from biodiesel glycerin. Glycerin is a natural byproduct from … Continue Reading

Bramble Berry was shocked and honored to receive the "Best Small Business in Whatcom County" award from the Northwest Business News Monthly.

As I write this, I have 2 phone messages to return, 13 email messages open (and well over 1000 in my Inbox to eventually return), 16 Mozilla browser Tabs open and 7 programs on my computer open. Not surprisingly, my Google System Monitor Widget says that 93% of my CPU's capacity is working (and … Continue Reading
I'm of two minds over this email in response to our Yahoo Finance feature. On the one hand, I want to please everyone and I would hate to actually turn anyone away from our site because it's too difficult to read or look at.

It's a very cool example of creativity and thinking outside the proverbial, cliched box. The best soap supplies on the … Continue Reading
