A pattern I see all the time:

Buy eco swap ➡️ hate eco swap ➡️ go back to plastic.

Sound familiar?

It’s not you, it’s the product. You just haven’t found the right one yet.

Maybe I can help 😊

Spiced Golden Pear

The second of this year’s autumn specials is Spiced Golden Pear. This last appeared way back in 2020, so is long overdue a reprise.

Sweet and juicy Bartlett pears take centre stage, their natural sweetness deepened with a subtle medley of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and star anise. A touch of citrus lifts the fragrance, while smooth woods and a touch of vanilla linger softly at the base.

Does this one tickle your fancy? Launching 8am THIS Saturday, but I only have a limited number so set your reminder, just in case 😉

✨ Top Tip Tuesday ✨

You don’t need a whole spa day to feel pampered, sometimes 10 minutes is all it takes.

Here’s my favourite everyday morning-shower mini self-care ritual:
🫧 Lather up with a bar of soap that smells amazing - use the power of aromatherapy
🫧 Grab a natural loofah for gentle exfoliation and super-smooth skin
🫧 Close your eyes and take a few slow breaths while you wash, let it be a gentle pause to prepare for the busy day..
🫧Finish with a swirl of body cream to lock in the moisture and leave you feeling like you’ve treated yourself.

Simple, quick, and a tiny luxury you absolutely deserve 🌸

👉 Do you have a go-to self-care ritual you squeeze in when life’s busy? I’d love to hear it!

🍂🍁🍂It’s nearly time! 🍂🍁🍂

Saturday sees the launch of the 2025 autumn specials (hooray!! 🎉😁), so this week I’ll be highlighting each of the five bars in turn, one per day. Today’s star is Rhubarb Marmalade 🤩

This is a brand new fragrance to The Soap Mine, and is, I think, unlike anything I’ve ever made before. Juicy, tangy, and just a little bit nostalgic, it’s a fragrance that will brighten even the chilliest of mornings.

The scent opens with a burst of tart rhubarb and zesty orange peel, evoking that just-popped jam jar moment. As the lather builds, crisp green apple and delicate violet petals add a playful freshness, before settling into a smooth, comforting base of warm cedarwood and creamy vanilla.

This isn’t so much a cosy scent as one which evokes crisp autumn days, the clear cold air and the crunch of fallen leaves.

As always with the specials there is only a limited number available, so set yourself a reminder for Saturday 6th September, 8am 🕗

It’s the last day of summer (meteorologically speaking, anyway 😉)! I’ve just come in from a little potter around the garden between showers. How gorgeous are these dahlias (and cosmos, and perpetual sweet pea 😁)?

What are you up to today? Is everyone else now getting the rain they need or are some of you still dryer than you would like?

If you still haven’t tried one of my bars yet… why not?

What’s stopping you?

Are you worried it’s not going to suit you? (Spoiler: if you’re someone who loves a bit of everyday luxury, wants to ditch the plastic bottles, and/or fancies treating your skin kindly without any faff – then yes, it will absolutely suit you 💕).

I designed my soaps for people like you – people who deserve a little indulgence in their daily routine. It’s honestly a no-brainer: one bar, a gorgeous lather, and suddenly your bathroom feels like a spa. ✨

This is your sign to stop thinking about it and just treat yourself - finally make the switch. Your skin WILL thank you. 🧼

PS if you’re feeling generous (it IS the weekend after all 😉) I’d be so grateful for any interaction or shares on this post because when I add a link my posts usually don’t get seen by many people 🙈 Thank you!

Just because autumn is on its way doesn’t mean we have to forego the scents of summer entirely… Juicy Watermelon handmade soap smells fresh and sweet and will add pep to your step on the dullest of days 🍉🍉🍉🍉

I made 136 bars of Watermelon soap this week, as well as Coffee Scrub, Eryri, Rose and Bewitched, and I STILL have a load more making to do before I’m caught up 🫣😆

Have a great day!

***Ready to embrace autumn?***

Seven days to go…

Left to right:

Spiced Golden Pear - Sweet ripe pear with a rich spice medley of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and star anise, blended with smooth woods and a hint of vanilla. The ultimate autumnal scent.

Campfire Marshmallow - A true Soap Mine classic! Sweet-and-smoky toasted marshmallow with a solid base of campfire smoke. Deliciously cosy.

Rhubarb Marmalade - Tangy orange and rhubarb with apple, on a cedarwood and vanilla base. Fresh from the jar.

Lilith - Dark, brooding, and indulgent: bittersweet cocoa, seductive patchouli, earthy spices. One of my personal favourites.

Hocus Pocus - Playful and ever-popular: a sherbety blend of dark cherry, lime, orange, strawberry, vanilla and a hint of leafy greens.

Hope everyone who needs it is getting it today. I’m already complaining 🤭😂
