Live Naturally In The Concrete Jungle
In my last post I mentioned that I would be moving out of Astoria, NY where I was born and raised. I had connected with a few real estate agents because my heart was set on New Paltz, NY. While waiting for them to contact me, I began doing some research on my own. I discovered a town called Cornwall-on-Hudson in Orange County and fell in love. Cornwall-on-Hudson is the … [Read more...]
I am a life long New York city girl, but I have made the decision to plant roots in a new part of New York State. I am headed up the Hudson Valley and excited about my new life with my mom and son. I am also excited about the possibility of getting an Air Stream RV and converting it into a store where I can sell my goodies. I am envisioning huge botanical decals to place on the outside of the … [Read more...]
I wanted to make this quick announcement that classes will not be offered until late summer / early fall. I have decided about a year ago that it was time to leave NYC for the calm and peace of Upstate NY. My anticipated move date is July 1 and once I get settled, I will be offering classes and meetings in the Hudson Valley. I do hope to secure some space in NYC to offer selective classes 2-3 … [Read more...]
Sometimes I get questions in my Contact Us form on my website that are common like: can you make custom orders or are your soaps vegan friendly?

I use @NatGoodSoaps for anything and everything … [Read more...]

Can you feel spring in the air? I sure can, well except for today in NYC. The temperatures have dropped as to slightly remind us that winter is still here until it is officially spring in a few more days. This is also a perfect time to rejuvenate your skin and wake it up from being abused by the cold chilly winds! I am now offering a new class called Herbal & Aromatic Facial Care. For … [Read more...]
The birds are chirping and the flowers are creeping out of the earth. Spring is right around the corner and the quest to clean our homes for the annual spring cleaning is upon us. I love this time of year! I love cleaning the house with open windows and a slight breeze coming through. April is also the month of the celebration of Earth Day. This year marks the 43rd anniversary of our celebration … [Read more...]
Over time I have grown to love and adore products that contain herbal properties. After soap making my favorite product development is making my salves and balms for their healing qualities. There is something magical in infusing quality olive oil or sunflower oil with calendula, plantain or chickweed to provide the user with medicine that is all natural. Salves and Balms are super easy to make … [Read more...]
SQUEEE!!! That is how I feel about my day in North Carolina attending the FDA Regulatory Boot Camp. It was the most amazing opportunity that I am so glad I invested in. I must begin by saying that Ms. Lela Barker from Lucky Break Consulting did a fantastic job in getting the material together and delivering her wealth of information. I would be lying to you if I said it was a breeze to understand … [Read more...]
In the world of being a small business entrepreneur, it is sometimes difficult to stay on target of your goals. I know personally in 2012 I had set goals and some were accomplished but a majority were not. As time progressed, I kept sliding into the mind frame that I will start over in 2013. Rosie, owner of Brooklyn Bath and I would talk regularly on Google Chat (shhh..don't tell our … [Read more...]
