Soap Mats/Face Scrubbies....a soft multi-use tool that is decorative too!

You know the frustration that comes with having those amazing, natural oil soaps that are soooo amazing for your skin...but which slip and slide all over the sink and counters leaving a soapy mess? Then you think, "That's ok, I have a soap dish"... but then the thing is a single-use product that you have to scrub out and is always getting in the way when it isn't in active use (and that the kids are frequently picking up and possibly breaking). Yep, you are not alone with your frustrations!



 Good news is, we have a solution for you! These soap mats work terrifically as soap dishes, with the cotton mats laying on the side of your tub or sink such that it doesn't slip and slide all over and which also absorb that little bit of soap that comes from the rich lather as it slides off your favorite bar preventing any kind of soapy build up on your surfaces. Thanks to the way these are stitched there is an slight ridge to the outside of the soap mat, so even those slight scoops and inclines of your elegant sinks aren't enough to send your soap sliding down. Another point behind these is that they will help your soap to last longer, since they help to wick the water away from the soap bars letting them dry in between use....and without the soap mats getting mildewed either since cotton dries out so much faster than many other materials. Then when you are done with the bar, simply rinse out your soap mat thoroughly by hand and throw it in with your laundry to keep the mats fresh.

 A really great additional point behind these soap mats is that they are also very functional face scrubbies...but with their measuring a helpful 4x5 inch measurement they offer more coverage space. Crocheted from a wonderfully soft cotton yarn, these are done with the stitches working to very gently exfoliate and massage your skin as you use them to remove your makeup and the day's dirt and oils. 


*Cotton is a material notorious in the fiber world for color bleeding. In washing these, the first time there might be just a little bit of color bleed off if you are washing them without using up an entire soap bar first. Just be sure to let them run through your washer with similar colors, just to be safe, but otherwise we've not experienced any problems that might otherwise present themselves.*

If there is a color combination that you would like other than the ones we have shown, please don't hesitate to contact us. The cotton yarn we use has a fairly wide variety of colors available, so making some which will fit exactly with your own family's likes as well as complementing your own decor shouldn't be too much of a problem.


To order some for yourself, you only need to choose between an etsy shop purchase (CLICK HERE to go to the shop listing), contact us on our facebook page (CLICK HERE to go to the facebook page), or emailing us at handmadeheritage@gmail.com

Chocolate Truffle Bath Bomb....rich, heavenly, and decadent!

There are few things that speak of decadence like immersing yourself in a rich, indulgent delight such as soaking in chocolate.

Guess what, folks...we figured out a way to make it so you can actually sit back and REALLY enjoy that moment even as your skin is being made all that much happier with one of our milk bombs (something which marries the delightful fizz of a bath bomb to the creamy luxury of a milk bath in a very unique experience brought all naturally to your skin).  Even better yet, we've been able to add the rich heaven of true chocolate, cacao, as a doorway to antioxidants and a kiss of energy.

The small bath bombs weigh in at a minimum 3.5  full ounces, so you'll really be able to enjoy all of that fizzing loveliness while the chocolate soothes your senses. If you would like a larger chocolate bomb to soak in longer, or even a way to continually add some to your bath (and then save the extras for later use), be sure to either message us or scan through the shop for other size options and even jars of Chocolate Truffle bath fizz.

The ingredients we use for making these are all full of amazing luxuries that you won't believe until you do a little research of your own (or check your own experience and library). To help you with such and in the interest of full disclosure, these sands are made up of: *sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), *citric acid, *sucrose (sugar), *whole dry milk, *cacao (where chocolate comes from, in our case used directly), *vanilla planifolia (finely ground specks, oleoresin and extracts in alcohol)

To use, simply draw a hot bath then after getting in yourself drop the bath bomb into the water. Then relax back and enjoy as the natural ingredients go to work exfoliating and cleansing your skin while the scent draws you in and works through aromatherapy upon your senses.

These are all natural bath bombs, which means we're using strictly essential oils and botanicals to create the scents and colors. As delightful as they are, they can sometimes leave behind a little bit of a mess. To stop that, all you need to do is put them into an old nylon sock. After you drop it down into the toe of the sock and tie off just above the bomb. (If you cut the sock at this point, you are able to tie off the end to use for a bomb in the future.) Then just drop the bomb as you would normally, and when your bath is finished you simply take the spent bomb nylon and drop it into the garbage while the remainders of the bomb is taken down the drain.

While the bath bombs are incredibly beneficial for the skin, they are also powerfully astringent so for safety be certain that you allow time in between uses. We recommend at least 7-10 days minimum to protect the skin from becoming irritated.

If you would like a custom scent experience created just for your purposes either for personal use or commercial, or would like one of our products without a particular ingredient, please contact us directly at handmadeheritage@gmail.com as we'd love to work with you!

Marathon Recovery Fizzy Bath Sand

Whether from running messages along marathon lengths, getting through spring planting, or any number of reasons people have found many ways to help get some relief from strained, sore muscles through time. The wisdom of ages has also taught that people who strain their limbs like that usually heal significantly faster if they are soaked in cooler water temperatures...but who wants to have to smell like liniment after taking a cold bath?!

Believe it or not, we've found a great way to combine that magical traditional blend of essential oils in a pleasing scent balance while adding it to an incredible epsom salt based bath bomb which dissolves fully and properly in the cooler water temps to help your muscles to not bind as tightly while absorbing all of the powerfully salts and oils that are also going to help add a tantalizing pull to keep you in those cooler baths. And if they're that wonderful for the cooler temps, just imagine how incredible they are with hot water baths that you can soak in with that much more of a sigh of enjoyed, indulgent relief!

This bottle comes with 4.55 ozs of the fizzy bath sand in a lovely glass jar which helps to keep the cured bath fizz fresh for when you are ready for them (though it definitely helps that we cure them specifically for the jars).  This way you can add just exactly the amount you would like most to include and even save what you don't use for a later time (or even your next race). To use, simply spoon or pour as much of the fizzy sands as you would like into your bath after running it and watch the fizz begin to go to work.  If you would like to enjoy a little longer bath and still keep things fresh, add more sand from the bottle about half way through.

The ingredients we use for making these are all full of amazing luxuries that you won't believe until you do a little research of your own (or check your own experience and library). To help you with such and in the interest of full disclosure, these sands are made up of: *sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), *citric acid, *cornstarch, *epsom salt,  *rosemary essential oils and leaf,  *eucalyptus essential oil,  *lemongrass essential oil,  orange essential oil.

*Please note: We ask, as a precaution, that people avoid using a bath bomb or session with the fizzy sands more than once per week or every other week, to keep your skin at peak performance and maintain a healthy balance of oils.*

Coffee Scrub Natural Oil Soap...perfect for cutting grime and grease!

Anyone who enjoys to cook, likes to spend time in the garden, or works with engines can appreciate the way that a person's skin will absorb the strong and at times unique smells and oils which seem to soak into every crease just as you're preparing that practical garden bed or that amazingly delicious dish....never mind the way the dirt will embed itself in with the engine grease.  Let me tell you, spending your life with a spouse who has worked in the restaurant industry for nearly 20 years (9+ of which were spent in a kitchen dedicated to Italian-American cuisine) while also maintaining a Master Gardener's certification and who does his own car repairs can certainly make such a firm reality for you! But what to do?  You wouldn't believe the answer we found...and the amazing java scent that naturally comes with!

I began doing a little research and found out that of all things the answer was in something an awful lot of people are throwing into their garbage bins: coffee grounds. I could go on in novels (we'll probably blog all about it later...a few times over, hahaha), but suffice to say I learned that w

hen handled properly, coffee grounds being added to natural oil soaps provide some interesting and powerful results. Whether it comes from the exfoliation (which helps to pull all of that deeply embedded soil from your skin and nails), or the incredible way that it helps pull strong scents like onion, garlic, etc out, you'll be simply amazed! Never mind the ways that the oils in our soaps are meant directly to help moisturize and benefit with an incredible lather which also rinses clean.

The oils and botanicals that go into our soap pots and molds have benefits that can really enchant you with the rich luxuries. So that you can see that for yourself, and in the interest of full disclosure, the components are:  *olive oil,  *coconut oil, *sodium hydroxide (Lye),   *coffee butter, *shea butter,  *aloe butter,  *avocado oil,  *rosehip oil,  *coffee grounds, finely ground
