Hello!

Welcome to the Nettlesome Life. I document my adventures in herbal soap making, growing food, foraging for wild edibles and making things by hand. Hope you have a nice stay!

Holiday Soaps Are Here!

Holiday Soaps Are Here!

So the two biggest shopping weeks of the year are upon us! I’ve been super busy getting everything read for the this. From November 20th to Dec 1st is pretty much the craziest time to be running a small business. It’s exhilarating and terrifying all at the same time. Each year I am honing my customer service skills and figuring out how to create the most stress free shopping experience for you.

My three signature Holiday Soaps are finally back in stock. “Candy Clean” peppermint, “Wintery Walk” fir needle, “Yule Spice” sweet orange & clove.

I’ve also been hard at work getting the shop restocked after that big festival back in October. I’ll be selling at the annual Craft Lake City Holiday Market this year. It’s going to quiet an amazing gathering of 125 local artisans, crafters, local food makers, small brewers and so much more. If you live in Utah this will definitely be a great opportunity to support small local businesses and find unique, fun gifts.
