Buildin' Walls, Makin' Stuff, and Plannin'

Duuuuuuuuuudes....we're back! Well, I should say we *never* left, but the shop was technically on "vacation mode" for a few weeks there. SO, we're back! The etsy shop is live, but that's not all we're here to talk about.

First of all, a huge, HUGE thanks goes out to all of you for making last year the absolute best year we've ever had! If this year is anything like last year, we're gearing up for another amazing year. We were so busy last year. It was stressful and amazing, as a lot of time management practice was definitely executed. The holiday season was even more bananas, and we definitely needed this time to gather and restructure because we are officially...



Yes, that's right! The demand for our products has grown so much, that we have to expand our studio space yet again! Luckily, we do have the space for a build out, which is happening as we speak. Since the end of the holiday season, we've been building out more rooms right next to the tiny soaping room we are using right now. This room is slated to be completed within the next two to three weeks, and once that happens, we will have ample space for soap and other product storage without having to share that with development space. The way our little studio is now, only a small amount of products can be stored and if we go over that, there's no space to make stuff in! But you've shown us that we need to change that, and change it now. And guess what? That's what we're doing!

Aside from more storage space, what does this really mean? Well, the more space we have for development, the more space we've got to create, test, and sample! This means, of course, new products for this year! This means, BETTER products for this year and here on out! However, in terms of our New Years and Holiday limited editions (Kir Royale soap, Pink Lady soap, etc) we will not be offering those this year. There's just no time to make those products and build walls at the same time. But, being able to use this time now means that we will have a blow-out of a spring release! So let's make this official, shall we?

Save the Date: Soap Distillery, spring release: March 21st.

 On March 21st, we will release our spring limited editions, as well as offer some special new goodies for you! Now, I know you're thinking, "I don't wanna wait that long for awesome stuffs...", and don't worry because you won't have to. For the time being, we do have some stock that we can sell. And in just a few weeks, we will be stocking up on our regular items to fill the shop back up. We We just won't be doing any special releases until March 21st, which means we are skipping a big Valentine's Day release and a mid winter release. So by the time you've dug yourself out from your snow caves, we'll have a full shop with limited editions and all kinds of amazing smelling goodies. 

Plus...


WE'VE GOT OVER 500 FACEBOOK LIKES!


We promised something good would happen when we hit that number, and it happened to align with the craziness of the holidays. But don't fret, because we haven't forgotten. We're going to do a little contest via facebook. Open from January 26th until February 12th, you will say on our facebook page which custom cocktail, booze, or beer related soap you'd like to see made, and the one who gets the most votes wins 6 custom bars of soap in that scent. 

How it works: First we start with everyone just spouting off what they would like to see! Then we pick the top 5, and whichever one gets the most likes is the winner. It's just that simple, and it could be YOU! More details to follow. Make sure to follow us via facebook to win!

Oh, and just in case you forgot: You ROCK.
