New products at the Granville Island Soap Gallery

Highdee ho good neighbors!

ok so now that I am back in the store making products for the new season we have a long list of  new ones to add:
last season we made our new shaving soaps (with added slip and shear ....sooo great!) our massage bars which continue to be a favourite moisturizer on super dry areas for many of our clients and our "About Face" line of soaps.....top sellers.....and our shampoos....can't keep them in stock!
It sounds like im bragging but alas...noooo.....I'm just TIRED haha!!!
Now we are creating a whole new line of cold process soaps with olive/palm/coconut/shea butter/jojoba/silk protein.............so smooth and gentle.
Our salt bars are coming back for this year.......a total treat for the skin to shed all the winter flakes.
oh! and the new beer and wine soaps are finally making an appearance:
Merlot soap
Champagne soap
Guinness soap
G.I Lager soap
....all super cool and delish!!

ok back to work I guess.

Social media and the soaping world

ok ok ok.....apparently I can make pretty good soap but am bad at keeping up with my facebook and blog inputs. Mainly because I forget my passwords and then cannot get into the pages........case in point....this blog!
So my tip for the day here at the Granville Island Soap Gallery is....make your password long and dirty......!
yeh its a pain to type in but you will never forget it. hopefully more blog entries to come.
oh yes.
FARMERS MARKETS THIS UPCOMING 2014 SEASON
we will be at the Langley market on Wednesday afternoon
both Ambleside and White Rock on Sundays and
on Saturdays  Burnaby and Lonsdale in north Vancouver
see you there!!!
we have lots of new stuff along with our famous and regular stock.
cheers and bubbles,
Darren
