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!

What Does New Soap Look Like?

What Does New Soap Look Like?

Have you ever wondered what new soap looks like? Sometimes it looks exactly the same as aged soap and other times it looks very different! That’s definitely the case with my new batch of grapefruit and cedarwood soap. Overtime as the soap dries and cures it will lighten and get pinker and more grapefruit colored.


With that in mind, I have an exciting announcement to make! All the soap in the shop is on sale! I need to make room for the new year inventory. From now through December 31st, all soaps are $6.00! Stock up while they last!

I’ve got lots of new, great smelling soaps coming to the shop in January so be on the look out for the newsletter announcement in your inbox.
