Back in March, when the spring launch was such a success, I was absolutely thrilled. (Who wouldn’t be in this seriously dodgy economic climate? 😅). It did leave me with a dilemma though.

Historically, summer sales tend to be a bit slower for all sorts of reasons, so I wasn’t sure whether to make more bars for the summer launch or play it safe. The last thing I wanted was to be discounting summer soap in September to make room for the autumn collection.

I agonised over it for ages.

Then apparently I had some kind of brain fart because instead of making a few more, I more than doubled production. 🤦‍♀️

The spring collection was 200 bars.

The summer collection, 450. 😳🫣🙈

Well… it turns out it was the right decision.

Had I stuck with spring numbers, Pomona - the one in the clip - would already be completely sold out and several of the others would be hanging on by a thread.

As it stands, almost two-thirds of the collection has gone, but there are still plenty available on the website and I genuinely couldn’t be happier.

Thank you, THANK YOU to everyone who’s placed an order already. I’ll get them wrapped up and on their way to you as quickly as I can. ❤️

Well we have a clear leader - over half of the Pomona bars have gone already (and Fresca’s a close second)!

I made more this time so there should be plenty to go round, but if you’re after a particular please one don’t leave it too late, just in case…

And they’re live! 🎉

It’s been a chaotic week getting to this point, but every bar has been bevelled and wrapped, the listings have been written and the multitude of background paperwork has been done The limited edition summer specials are GO! I’ve made plenty to go round this time, but if there’s something you really don’t want to miss, don’t leave it too long.

Did you know…?

This is why you can get through a plastic pump bottle of liquid soap surprisingly quickly, while a bar of soap is like a little Duracell Bunny... it just keeps going, and going, and going.

If that's not value for money, I don't know what is!

The cut of Watermelon 🍉 as promised. Heavily edited because not even the most hardcore soap fan wants to watch 8 loaves / 20 minutes worth of soap cutting 😂

This week’s one-minute post is (half of) the 136 bars of Watermelon I made yesterday. Keep your eyes peeled for the “oops” moment a few seconds in 🙈 and come back later today for the cut.

I’m scarily low on Watermelon now until this little lot is ready in mid-July, but there are a few bars still on the website.

Pssst…

I’m Pomona, named for a Roman goddess of orchards, fruit trees and gardens, ‘cos I smell a bit apple-y innit 🍏🍏

Alternatively 😁 It’s a fresh, juicy apple fragrance with a pretty floral heart, inspired by the crisp, modern feel of DKNY Be Delicious.

Bright, fruity and uplifting, which I can attest to because I used it in the shower this morning. Delish!

Three days to go!!
