Soaps will be on sale again Tuesday September 8th at 8:00 am EST! They are just about ready! I made a little more than I planned – about 300 bars!
Let’s talk about what will be available and what won’t!
It’s fall and I like to make soap that goes along with the seasons. Those choices are affected by what I’m growing in my garden and what herbs are available on the farm for wildcrafting! I like seasonal change don’t you?
This will be that last time you will see Lavender Twist and Green Thumbs until spring. But in their place you will find some new fall soaps!
Ginger Snap!
My Tennessee Mountains – no label so you can see the beautiful green swirl! (made with Spirulina!)
Papaw’s Shaving Soap! (not just for men!)
and my Rosemary and Lavender Shampoo Bar! This bar REALLY lathers and rosemary and lavender essential oils have amazing properties for healthy hair and scalp!
I like to be creative with my soaps so you may see changes from batch to batch. For instance – last time I dusted one side of Lavender Twist with ground lavender buds. I didn’t particularly care for how that turned out so this time I left out that dusting. Sometimes the herb’s or plant’s constituents are a little different from the first time I picked it (as the weather/season cause changes) – therefore colors may be a bit different, or maybe I used a bit more or less. Sometimes it’s just me and I decide to use a different clay, herb or plant to color my soaps. (Wait till you see the NEW Canine Caress next month!) I’ve already decided to do something different when I make Ginger Snap again! It’s all a part of the creative process and is one way that you are assured that you are getting artisanal hand-crafted soap and not something out of a corporate production line!
I’ve seen it all! There are soap makers out there that order in soap from China in bulk, repackage, sell cheaply and make a ton of money! (Can you say chemically laden?) There are soap makers out there that use crisco as a base and color their soaps with crayons – ACK!!! It just floors me! And there are soap makers who use fragrance oils (cheap chemicals!) or just enough essential oils that your soap will have little to no scent and what is there certainly won’t last.
I’m proud of my soap and the quality of ingredients that go into them. These are the same soaps that I use, my kids use, my grandbabies use and even some of our farm critters use! They have to be the purest to pass my test!
My October sale will have some more fall themed soaps available along with those listed above. “Granny’s Lemon Shine” is made with real Tennessee moonshine and has always been super popular. Lightly scented with lemon essential oil and made with ground organic lemon peel – it’s a beautiful soap! Fall is moonshine time in Tennessee and yes it is still made in our mountains and hollers!
My Pumpkin Soap will also be available in October! This soap is SUPER moisturizing and smells like a piece of Grandma’s pumpkin pie! Spiced Oat Bar is another fall soap that will be available in October! I will even have a few new surprises next Tuesday!
Just to clarify, I don’t sell my soaps on Facebook or anywhere else, other than this website. When you go to an online soap shop and you see bright blue colors, bright reds, oranges and greens – you can rest assured those aren’t natural and it isn’t my soap. If you see fragrances (note the term FRAGRANCES!) like “after the rain”, “blueberry, watermelon or strawberry” (fruits don’t have essential oils!), or bubblegum and cotton candy – remember that those are synthetic fragrance oils and you’ll never find me using those! Just not healthy to put on your skin!
If you have questions, please leave them in the comments! Special requests? If enough people ask for the same thing, I’m happy to try something new – as long as I can make it with natural ingredients!
Blessings!

PS If you are on my newsletter list, you will be getting a reminder on Monday about the sale! Not on my list? just ask to be added to get a reminder once a month when soaps go on sale!
Hi, Cherik,
I never did get around to calling you…so much going on right now. I do want to be put on your newsletter list, and sale lists, etc. I am so eager to try some of your pure fragrant soaps.
I appreciate your honesty! and I totally agree, we really do need to be particular in our soap choices for our skin and hair.
I would like to place an order now; is that possible?
Hi Carole! We’ll touch base soon 🙂 I’ll get you added to my list. I hope you enjoy my soaps! I’m really sorry but I don’t take pre-orders – to easy to get so far behind! But…you can order on Tuesday morning anytime after 8:00 am EST!. Fingers crossed you get your favorites!
Blessings,
Cheri
Please add me to your newsletter & sale list. I love natural soaps & would like to try your nasal & sleep remedy also. Thank you.
Hi Diana – I’ve got you added! I use Breathe essential oil to support my respiratory system (it’s amazing if you have to wear a mask!) and for sleep I use Serenity essential oil and Peace essential oil. Serenity relaxes my body but Peace calms my mind – it stops the hamster wheel of “what did I forget to do, what do I need to do tomorrow, don’t forget to….” that happens once I lay down at night. The combination of those oils helps me get great sleep at night every night!! You can learn about Breathe here https://bit.ly/3mqzAqM you can learn about Serenity here https://bit.ly/33zHXHI and you can read about Peace here https://bit.ly/3c0LT8l. And you can learn how to develop a bedtime routine that helps you rest well – here https://bit.ly/2FCCckr. Hope these links help – please reach out if you need help or would like to chat about using essential oils for natural health solutions! Blessings!
I’d like to be added to the newsletter & reminder list.
I’ll get you added Marilyn! Thanks so much for your interest!
Blessings!
Hi Cheri
I’m new to your soaps and am super excited to try them!
I was wondering if you’ve started writing your book on how to make soaps? Or did I miss it?
Thanks!
PS. Please add me to your mail list
Hi Janine!
I wrote my book many years ago. I am updating and converting to a PDF for downloading! I don’t have a lot of time to work on it but both my books are part of my winter project list. I’ll get you added to my list tomorrow! Blessings!
Hi Cheri! I would like to be added to your newsletter list.
I’ve ordered your soap twice now and I really like them – I use them daily. Sweet Cheeks smells delightful. Also, the True Spanish Castile soap has helped my dry skin on my arms.
Have a blessed day!
Please add me to your newsletter list. Thank you.

I saw you on Texas Country Reporter and I am interested in your natural products. I would like to receive your newsletter.
Hi Angie! I’ve added you to my list – thanks so much for your interest 🙂
Would like to be added to your mailing list. Very excited about trying your soaps. My husband likes soap that create a lot of lather. Which soap would you recommend for him? He’s an outdoorsman, from hunting, fishing, hiking and gardening. Thank you so much!
Hi Darlene!
I agree with your husband…I like soaps that lather! All of my soaps lather well except my True Spanish Castille – made only with olive oil. I think he’d be happy with any of them 🙂 I’ve added you to my list 🙂

Cheri

Looking forward to more soaps in October. I missed last sale in September and you’re out. Ready for October 💜

My soap kitchen smells of all things fall right now! New soaps in October will be Pumpkin Spice – (super moisturizing facial soap!!), Spiced Oat Bar, Lock & Load (for hunters), Cinnamon Citrus Swirl, and Granny’s Lemon “Shine” – my soap made with real TN moonshine :). I’m excited!!

When will your soap making class begin? I live in Florida and have several friends interested in taking your class and visiting Tennessee in the fall would be gorgeous.
Thank you
Hi Brenda!
Yours is the second request I’ve had for an October soap making class! Depending on what our Governor will allow by October, and the amount of people wanting to take a class, I’m game! I’ll keep an eye on things and hope to know more by the end of this month. Thanks so much for your interest!
Blessings,
Cheri
