Prairie Soap Shack takes plants of prairies and inspiration from the past to create all natural skin
I love running my business, but it’s funny when people think all I do is make pretty soap all day. (I wish!)
There’s so much that goes on behind the scenes to keep this little soap shack running…parts of being a small business owner that never make it onto the “highlight reel” of social media. Some of them are tedious, some of them are frustrating, and some of them are just plain monotonous.
But they’re all an important part of bringing handcrafted soap and natural skincare products to all of you lovely folks, so I’m happy to do it.
And the days when I DO get to make pretty soap are pretty great 😉

You know that feeling of an ice-cold beverage on the porch after a long day of working out in the heat? That’s exactly why I came up with these refreshing Summer Garden Mocktails. They capture the flavours of summer perfectly and won’t leave you with a headache in the morning (although I’m not gonna judge if you want to add a little “spirit”! 😉)
The recipes are live on the blog now, but if you want a quick and easy future reference, just hit save on this post.
After trying all of these, it’s hard to choose a favourite! Which one do you want to make first? 🍹
Things you won’t find at Prairie Soap Shack:
Shame around the way normal, natural skin looks, or any fear about growing older.
When I started my business, I knew I didn’t want to compete with big beauty brands. I wanted to create something different…a community that celebrates the beauty of every stage of life instead of trying to freeze youth in a bottle.
If this resonates, please stick around. You’re my kind of people.
Lesson learned in my late 30s.
Most valuable type of currency for me? TIME.
One of our limited summer soaps … poplar leaf with palo santo. An earthy, grounding soap bar. Inspired by the trembling aspen poplars on the prairies. Trembling yet young ones growing strong. Watching many of the older poplars here in our area die from drought conditions the past few years - it’s a changing landscape around here. But these young poplars will fill their space in time.
Soap available this Sunday June 7 at 7pm mst at prairiesoapshack.com
After more than 7 years of running my small business, I’ve found that the best lessons aren’t in a book or a class. They’re learned by trying, failing, pivoting, and figuring it out as you go.
Would I do some things differently if I could start all over again? Probably. But I’m grateful for all of the lessons that have brought me exactly to where I am now.
