Become A Vetiver + Rose Tester

I'm very excited to be rolling out our soap testing program.  What's great about it is that it's absolutely FREE to everyone who participates.  Each month you'll receive a soap sample, mailed to your address.  All you need to do is provide us with feedback (we'll provide you with a link back to our blog) and you'll receive another sample size soap again the following month.  Interested?  Contact vetiverandrose@gmail.com  with the subject header, "V&R Monthly Soap" and your mailing address.

Some Friday Inspiration

I ordered some amazing absolutes and essences that I hope arrive this weekend so I can experiment with them.  I'm expecting some good things, which of course, I'll be sharing with you here.

Mandy Aftel, Lyn Harris, Alexandra Balahoutis, Yosh Han and Andy Tauer were recently featured in Readymade magazine's artice, "Scents of Wonder," an excerpt of which can be found here.  It was a great article and very inspiring.  The photo below was taken from ReadyMade.

Since I'm both into soapmaking and parfumery, the image of Andy Tauer's soap opened the door to so many ideas and possibilities.  I just absolutely love the beauty and simplicity in its transparency.

Lovely Shoes

These shoes just make me happy :)
