Workin it.

This week we pooed in California and in NJ and here in New York.  Thank you everyone who placed orders this week! You will get to see part of the new packaging! Yeay! This week was so busy, the etsy shop was going nuts with soap orders (that is a good thing) so this was my desk area at around 2:00AM on Thurs night. Here at Monkeypoo, we know how to party. :D

 

 

We have been so busy with craftacular coming up.. so many great soaps are both in the shop here and on the racks curing. Here is just a little preview!!

This is Jackie Oh. She is a pumpkin soap made with pureed pumpkin and swirlled with imported Royal Mahogony Cocoa Powder from our friends at www.CocoaSupply.com. It smells like pure pumpkin deliciousness. The high content of cocoabutter in this bar really shines with the pumpkin. Im so proud of her.

 

This dark beauty is Snap. As mentioned below, it smells like yummy gingersnap cookies. It is made with a hefty dose of espresso to help improve circulation.

 

The Breakfast Bar: You should know a 500lb woman lives inside of me (and she is slowly making her way out) and I will add coconut milk to just about anything, including my oatmeal. Then top that off with a coconut milk steamed latte and its absolute heaven. But whats interesting is as many of us who have had skin issues know, oats are so amazing for your skin so on top of gobbling it up, I try to include oats in as many products as I can. Coconut milk adds moisturizing qualities that are enhanced by a 13% cocoa butter addition. Coffee is said to increase circulation and help draw toxins from your skin. What does that mean to you? It means when I threw in that can of coconut milk and added my good whole oats then included that in my cocoa butter rich soap recipe and topped it off with some good old Bustelo, I not only sacrificed a yummy morning treat for weeks of smooth moisturized skin– it was for a DAMN good reason! The sweet aroma is due in part to the high cocoa butter content and the sweet coconut milk and oats in this bar.

These are just a few that I have put up in the shop. And yes, I am totally exhausted, but its so worth it. My house smells amazing. Im listing half of each batch on etsy. The rest are coming with me to Craftacular on December 6th at the Metropolitan Pavillion. Be sure to stop by and say hi and feel free to bring me snacks (two years ago I almost passed out from not eating all day because I was so busy wrapping soaps!) Speaking of Craftacular, the Cutest Boy in the World surprised me with this today!
