We have received some of the most incredible soap name suggestions for our What's-in-a-Name Contest! We never realized soap could bring out such creativity in people. :) We are definitely going to have a difficult challenge in narrowing these down. But don't let that stop you - keep sending in those submissions!
And in the spirit of creative soap names, here are two of our latest. See if you can figure them out!
Have fun!
Okie doke. As some of you have noticed, we like to give our soaps some rather, ahem, imaginative (we like to think creative) names. So, the question has come up a few times about the origins of some of our soap names. And we do admit, names like Sterno Bum, Gutter Snipe, Stupid Llamas , and Atticus in Argyle may beg that question.
Well, the secret is we like movies. Some of the time it's stupid or silly movies, but mostly it's just plain old good entertainment. If something strikes our fancy or inspires us, you can bet we'll find a way to make a soap name out of it. Case in point, two of our latest soaps are Don't Call Me Shirley and He Hates these Cans! Can you figure out the references?
So where is this going? We would like to give our customers and readers the chance to submit some name suggestions for a new soap for our 2007 line. Send us your best ideas - keep it clean ;) and include where you got the inspiration, ie. the movie name or show title. We'll choose our top five favorites and post them in a poll on our blog on November 1st for readers to vote on. The person who submitted the name that earns the most votes will win 3 bars of the newly named soap as soon as it joins our product line. A little bit of fine print: No purchase necessary to participate or win.

Yes, we do own a calendar. As many of you have pointed out, Labor Day Weekend has passed, and we have still not posted our fall product line. We just can't rush perfection! :)
We have a bit more tweaking to do to make sure everything is ready to go. PLUS, we had to find figs. Ooops! Did we give something away?! Don't worry. It won't be much longer.
Sometimes we actually take a break from soap to enjoy other things. Now before you pass out laughing - Yes! It really is true! So what is it that we are enjoying right now you ask? TEA! More specifically tea from SBSTeas.com. We first ran across SBSTeas a couple years ago when we were planning a tea party (yes really) for a family member's birthday. Ya know, one of those special kind of birthdays that ends in a "0". Rachel was fantastic in helping us pick out a variety of teas that would appeal to our guest list whose ages ranged from 1 to 75 - not an easy task! And that's one of the things we especially like about Rachel's teas. She has teas that kids like, teas for novices, experts, wannabe experts. :) She carries all the nifty gadgets you need to brew a proper pot of tea and complete and easy to understand brewing instructions on the packages. I never knew that you could overbrew tea. That's why it sometimes tastes bitter. AHA!
So now you want to know which ones are our personal favorites? Well, the top five for us are:
