There’s no doubting the popularity of goat milk soaps, and Janelle of Jangle Soapworks has elevated milk soaping to an art form. Janelle lives in rural Wisconsin with her family and her small herd of alpine dairy goats. The goats are milked by hand and then the fresh, raw milk is added to the soaps for extra skin-nourishing goodness. All of Janelle’s beautiful soaps include 100% goats milk instead of distilled water, and her favorite way to scent and colors soap is with natural colorants and essential oils. Read on to learn more about Janelle and her happy herd of goats!
Facebook Photo of the Week (October 25th ~ November 1st)
This past week has gone by in a flash, and I can’t believe it is Friday again! This week we’ve had a quick-and-fun tutorial for Mint Candy Lip Balm (a great stocking stuffer) as well as another cold process soap using our fabulous new swirl tools. We brought our LabColors back with a blog post explaining the change (new sizes and a new preservative) and shared a #BrambleChai Mashup post for some of the entries into our Make It Month contest –for a chance to see all the participants, check out our Facebook album here. Last but not least, check out our Givember blog post for news on our 2nd annual month-long soapy celebration of giving. Are you ready to check out our favorite Facebook photo of the week??
