Hello Friends!

About Me:

My name is Erica (and yes, i have pink hair!) and I live in Cary, North Carolina (a suburb of Raleigh) with my dog Luna, and two cats, Khaleesi and Pixar.

I love being in my kitchen cooking up wonderfully delicious food and treats. You would definitely call me a foodie that loves to cook! As a Pisces, I am also very creative and love making things by hand. I decided to broaden my creative horizons a bit and start making things like soap and dog treats myself instead of buying them from “big box” stores. It’s really not that hard! My fur babies and friends all get to benefit from my creativity!

Thanks to Type 1 Diabetes and getting older, my skin craves moisture!! All-natural homemade soap is best for that. With limited chemicals and no unpronounceable ingredients, it’s good for your entire body!

About My Soaps and Dog Treats:

All of my soaps are small batch (8-10 bars depending on size) and use the same base ingredients with Olive Oil as the main ingredient. Coconut oil is used for foamy, bubbly lather. Palm oil is used in some bars to make them harder. Shea butter is used for extra moisture along with rice bran oil or apricot kernel oil. I use crushed walnut shells in most soaps for gentle exfoliation. Some soaps may contain colloidal oatmeal (to lock in moisture), or crushed oats or jojoba beads for gentle exfoliation.

My soaps are mildly scented with fragrance or essential oils and some are tinted with mica powder for some colorful fun. I can also make custom soaps with any scent or ingredients—just email me what you want!

Now on to my four-legged friends…

My Peanut Butter Puppy Pleasers are peanut butter dog biscuits, containing only 4 ingredients: whole wheat flour, peanut butter, egg and beef broth. Just a simple little treat for your furry best friend. I started making these for my dog and all of my other dog-owning friends because they are simple, easy and delicious!

My dog Luna loves them, although I don’t think she has a discerning palate…
