Real life > perfect routines

I make soap for real families (including mine)—people who need quick, reliable steps that feel good and don’t overcomplicate the day. Here’s a simple routine that works in busy seasons and school mornings alike.

Step 1: Pick “the bar” for the job

Everyday shower bar: Goat milk or gentle handmade bar in a scent the whole family likes.
Sink sidekick: A firm, long-lasting bar (tallow is great here).
Shave days: A dedicated shaving soap for cushion and glide.

Pro tip: Use a draining dish and let bars dry between uses. It’s the easiest way to make handmade last.

Step 2: Lock in moisture your way

Skin changes with weather, age, and activity. I keep options:

Goat Milk Lotion: Lightweight daily hydration—great after hand-washing.
Luxury Cream: Richer feel for dry spots (elbows, knees).
Whipped Tallow: Deep moisture days or winter skin.

Apply while skin is slightly damp after bathing; it helps seal in moisture.

Step 3: Freshen up, simply

Natural Deodorant Stick: Clean, straightforward, and easy to reapply.
Body Spray (clean scents): A quick, family-friendly refresh for gym bags and car rides.
Aromatherapy Rollers: Pocket-sized calm for hectic schedules.

Step 4: Make it easy to stick with

Set & forget: Keep a bar at each sink and shower.
Label the shelf: “Kids,” “Teen,” “Dad,” “Guest”—everyone knows what’s theirs.
Rotate scents: Keep it fun—citrus in the morning, cozy woods at night.
Refill basket: Store two backups; when you open one, add another to your cart.

For teens & sensitive seasons

Many families tell me they like starting with gentler bars and adjusting from there. If someone’s skin is having a moment, keep routines simple and fragrance-light. And remember: patch-testing is always a good idea.

Coming soon: subscription made simple

I’m building a monthly soap box for families who never want to run out—your favorites, on your schedule. If that sounds handy, join the list so you’re first to know.

Build your routine:

Handmade Soaps • Goat Milk Soaps • Tallow Soaps
Lotions & Creams • Natural Deodorant • Body Sprays

You’ve got enough on your plate—your clean routine shouldn’t be one more chore.

Be Good, Do Good & Keep it Clean.
