Artisan soaps, bath bombs and body butter creams. Cheerful. Fragrant. Deliciously Indulgent. My name is Hilary and in 2009 I became an "Accidental Entrepreneur".

I've always been a creative individual with very limited time to exercise my passion and now my creative juices have been unleashed. I'm really excited and motivated to be on this journey - de

I just wrapped the pumpkin pie soap. OMG. Aroma of pumpkin with notes of lemon, nutmeg, ginger, maple sugar and vanilla frosting. It will surely make you believe a pie has just come out of the oven.
I can help you if you want to send some soaps, bath bombs or hand cream to just say "thinking abut you".

The creative process is endless. Happy to help make something unique and memorable.
I know it's still July but I to think it's time for me to start making some fall soaps and getting them listed for those that like to mull over the fall soaps and purchase earlier.

I always like seeing them from above.
Will show you the additional details that take my the talk of an event next week. I'm sure you can appreciate me keeping some of it under wraps. Until the tie the knot. The thing I love about the is just how much joy it brings to any occasion. Think
Thank you for those who recently left me reviews on some of your favorite products - to test the newly integrated review app on the website. Your reviews have been published and I was able to include a genuine response. Not AI generated. π. For a fee upgrade the app would have done it for me. NAH I said. There is a point where I need to draw the line. I think I'll still do it myself.
New Project. Festive Event.
20 mile test ride with my new shoes! It was long overdue. I put alot of miles on the old ones. And as much as I liked them I believe structural aspects had deteriorated where they really needing replacing. Thanks for actually having a pair in my size!!
I'm getting better at being spontaneous! My brother is getting
(re) married next Saturday night in SF. I'm actually making their soap favors for this intimate event. I won't be able to show you until after the festivities are over. It's an easy drive back and forth from Berkeley. But then I remembered there is a Youth Hostel in SF at Fort Mason/Fishermands Wharf. I just booked the last private room available. I've actually stayed here before with 4 other soap makers when we shared a 4 person room for a soap conference. I really dig the ambiance and location. Should be a fun 24 hours! I'd love to hear any memorable stories about your time staying at a youth hostel !! ?? - Check out the photos of what an appealing hidden gem it is.

I'd love to put you on my newsletter. They come to your inbox a few times a year. I've joined newsletters. Sometimes I notice those that come daily. That's overload. NO. That's not me. I can't even write that much for them to come that often. But when they do I hope it feels more like getting a nice letter that shares an update and then asks how are you doing? Let me know if I can add you. π I can even send the most recent one to you. And you can earn a coupon too.
That was crazy! I sent out a newsletter and was notified by Mailchimp somehow I had not taken care of some technical details between Mailchimp and Network Solutions (where my asliceofdelight domain is registered). I recall this being communicated to whomever sends newsletters but I clearly overlooked this task. I just now buried myself for a few hours to figure out what or where I was to copy and past records and update systems to get this connection authenticated. OMG. I used to get paid for this kind of work. π If you do get my newsletter check your inbox, check your spam, check your trash or check your junk folder. I think fixing this will resolve future newsletters not getting lost in the black hole of email categories. If you don't receive my newsletter let me help you get put on the list! Just msg me and we'll fix that too.
Absolutlely!
