The Label That Made Me Do a Double-Take

Hey friends! Stacie here. A few years ago, I was at the grocery store picking up some basics, and I found myself in the soap aisle. (Once you start making soap for a living, you can’t help but read every soap label you see - it’s an occupational hazard!)

I picked up one of those famous brand-name “beauty bars” - you know the ones, they’re in every store, every commercial, they’ve been around forever.

The Gift Problem We’ve All Experienced

Hey friends! Stacie here. Let me tell you about the candle graveyard in my house.

The scenario: Every holiday, every birthday, I get candles. Nice candles. Expensive candles. Candles I’ll “use someday.”

The reality: They sit in a drawer. Unopened. Because I already have 17 candles from LAST year.

Here’s what I realized: People don’t need MORE stuff that sits on a shelf looking pretty. They need gifts they’ll actually USE. Daily. Gifts that make their life better, their skin softer, their stress lower.

What Teachers REALLY Think About Your Gifts (The Honest Truth)

Hey friends! Stacie here. Let me share a secret my daughter Maddi (who taught for years) told me:

The truth about teacher gifts: They appreciate the thought. They really do. But…

They already have 47 “World’s Best Teacher” mugs.

They don’t need another apple-themed anything.

And please, for the love of everything, no more scented candles they’ll never light because they’re allergic to synthetic fragrances.

The Gift Dilemma We All Face

Hey friends! Stacie here. Let me paint a familiar picture:

The scenario: Your mom’s birthday is coming up. She has EVERYTHING. When you ask what she wants, she says, “Oh honey, I don’t need anything.”

Your panic: What do you GET someone who doesn’t need anything?!

The usual solution: Generic gift card. Candle she won’t light. Picture frame she’ll put in a closet. More STUFF to add to her already-full house.

“Can You Make a Natural Vapor Rub?”

Hey friends! Stacie here. A few years ago, a customer at one of our craft shows asked me a question that completely changed our product line:

“Do you make a natural version of vapor rub? Something I can use on my kids without all the chemicals?”

I didn’t at the time. But I told her, “Let me look into it and see what we can do.”

“Wait, Hemp? Isn’t That…?”

Hey friends! Stacie here, writing from our Enola kitchen where I’m surrounded by soap-curing racks and ingredient research.

Let me address the elephant in the room right away:

Yes, hemp seed oil comes from the hemp plant.

No, it won’t get you high. No THC. No CBD. Just pure, nutrient-rich oil.

I get it—the name throws people off. At our first East Pennsboro Pumpkinfest with our Hemp Charcoal Eucalyptus facial bar, at least five people asked if it was “legal.” (Yes! Completely legal! Just good skincare!)
