My favorite herbal tea blend is cooling and hydrating

Don't feel like you need to stick exactly to the recipe. Make adjustments to your body's needs and your tastes. Also adjust to what you have! 

I don't always have everything because I use herbs in my soap and skincare products, so sometimes I'm out until I can restock. 


HOWEVER, if you can use Hibiscus and Peppermint or Spearmint, you will have a refreshing tea that is cooling and hydrating to your body.  Perfect for summer. 

Hibiscus, Peppermint, Spearmint, Chamomile is available at most grocery stores in the form of tea bags. Start where you can!

What's the big deal about goat milk?

Here's a few reasons we love goat milk in our body soap!! ​

Picture
Goat milk has been treasured for centuries as a natural beauty elixir, and its use in body soap brings a host of benefits for the skin.

One of the most significant advantages of goat milk soap is its remarkable moisturizing properties. Unlike many commercial soaps that strip the skin of its natural oils, goat milk soap contains fatty acids and triglycerides that help maintain the skin's moisture barrier. This makes it especially beneficial for those with dry or sensitive skin, as it provides gentle hydration without causing irritation. The creamy lather produced by goat milk soap not only feels luxurious but also leaves the skin feeling soft, supple, and nourished.

Another key benefit of goat milk in body soap is its rich content of vitamins and minerals, particularly Vitamin A, which is known for its ability to promote healthy skin cell turnover. This can lead to a smoother, more even complexion over time.

Additionally, goat milk contains lactic acid, a natural exfoliant that helps to gently slough away dead skin cells, revealing fresh, radiant skin underneath. This gentle exfoliation can also aid in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making goat milk soap a popular choice for those seeking a more youthful glow.

With its natural, skin-loving properties, goat milk soap offers a perfect blend of gentle care and effective cleansing, making it an ideal choice for daily skincare routines.

Have you noticed a difference between soap with and without goat milk?

    Evelyn Jane here... the blog started as a way to have some recipes always available for my children when they left home and wanted to cook some of their favs. Then I added some farm topics, then I started selling soap to stores and wanted a way for them to have all the information they wanted plus printable graphics. So now, it's a pretty diverse space of topics, but it's also 100% me. I am a soap maker, but also a small farmer of goats and chickens, a gardener, a cook, baker, sewist, crafter, reader, a business owner, naturalist, herbalist... I happily wear a lot of hats! 

    I hope you find some topics that you enjoy here!
