It looks like our new products will debut the first week of September . Many new soaps are still curing, cupcakes are being made too. And we know how much everyone loves our bubblebath cupcakes!

So current TAT (turn around time) is approximately 5 business days. We should be back to our 2-4 business day turn around by Monday.

Be sure to check our sale page, many items are being clearanced out to make room for new products coming in. Get them while they last, there aren't too many left and once they are gone, they are gone and will not be coming back. And they are 50% off!

Fall Line Up

We are getting ready to debut our Fall products. So exciting!!

It's been a very exciting summer working on new scents. It's actually my favorite part next to making soaps, cupcakes, you name it. A few favorites are returning as well.

You will be seeing products disappear such as the summer scents and the Lush dupes to make room for our new Fall and Halloween scented products. Only a select few best sellers will stick around year long such as our handmade soaps in Oatmeal, Milk & Honey, Cranberry orange, Cranberry Yuzu, Granny Smith Apple, Lemon Curd, Paradise, Peppermint Cocoa, Red Apple, Vanilla Bean, Amber Sunset and Clementine Lavender.

Bubblebath cupcakes will remain the same but with a couple holiday themed ones coming into the mix. New photos will also be premiering for existing bubblebath cupcakes with new looks.

New fall themed lip balms will be coming too as well as tarts!!

New bath bombs and bubble bars are making their debut as well as new whipped sugar scrubs.

We expect to have all our newest products up on the site before the month is over.

Wow, it's been awhile since we've updated out blog. Our sincerest apologies. Soap Silly has been super busy processing your orders and working on new products for Summer 2011.

All orders are up to date and have been shipped as of May 9th. Current turn around time is now 1-2 business days for all in stock ready to ship items such as lip balms and soaps and 3-4 business days for all other items such as bath bombs and bubblebath cupcakes.

New products are being launched May 31st! New product photos are coming in as well.

New Products New Photos

You may be seeing a few changes coming, the site itself will remain the same, but new photos are coming of our products. And new cupcakes too!

There will also be many new products coming, scents, etc so check back often. We expect to have our Spring line completed within the next few weeks. Our Summer line will make it's debut mid next month as well. I'm sure many people are ready for Spring or even Summer with all the snow the Northeast and Midwest has been getting. We even had a snow day ourselves last month and it was quite exciting too. Not something we see here very often anyways.

Valentine cupcakes are up and as well as some wonderful Valentine themed whipped sugar scrubs.

So check back often!

Soap Silly Staff

Soap Silly will be creaking open it's door soon!

And just in time for Halloween too! We will be offering a limited amount of stock so be sure to get your order in before they are all gone.

New scents coming:

Trick or Treat:
The time kids love most, aside from Christmas and get their sugar rushes on. The go door to door yelling trick or treat, sometimes with a trick waiting for them, but always ending with a treat.

Golden pumpkin, juicy persimmons and red apples; currants, blood orange and cinnamon; sprinkled with with sugar cane and vanilla.

Black Apple:
Apples have been sacred to witches and have been used in spells and rituals since ancient times.

Red and green apples, with golden caramel, cocoa absolute, autumnal spices and black vanilla.

Golden Pumpkin:
Native Americans dried strips of pumpkin and wove them into mats. They also roasted long strips of pumpkin on the open fire and ate them. The origin of pumpkin pie occurred when the colonists sliced off the pumpkin top, removed the seeds, and filled the insides with milk, spices and honey. The pumpkin was then baked in hot ashes.

A blend of ghost white pumpkin and golden pumpkin puree, butterscotch candies, and 3 different ambers.

Pumpkin Milk:
Coconut milk blended with pumpkin puree, autumnal spices, black amber and cocoa absolute.

Haunting:
An unforgettable, yet hauntingly beautiful melodic blend of blood orange, bourbon vanilla and dark patchouli, followed with black amber, sandalwood and cashmere.

Twilight:
The time when the night seeps into the dark forest, glowing amber skies darkened by musky clouds leaving an eerie aura.

Glowing amber, Redwood forest, White musky clouds, Moss and Dark Patchouli.

Reopening Date!

It's been quite some time, but our facility is nearly completed and I have recovered wonderfully. We are looking to reopen sometime next month finally.

I want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding during this time.

Many new scents are being added and some are being retired. We have many new exciting things to come.

See you next month!

Lates News

As many know (and I'm sure many do not) I recently gave birth. Due to an extremely difficult birth and recovery, I had extended the closure of Soap Silly to allow some time for me to fully recover and spend time with my family.

In the midst of this, a new facility is being built so that we can have an adequate work space once Soap Silly reopens. Because of this, the closure is being extended until Fall 2010.

I know this has been an inconvenience for many, but in order to provide exceptional service and quality products, this was necessary.

At this time we cannot fulfill any orders as existing stock was depleted before the closure. All equipment is currently being stored and is not accessible at this time.

Soap Silly

Just thought I'd share this

Someone was kind enough to send me an email to a company in the Philippines that stole Soap Silly's logo and slightly, I mean slightly, altered it for their company use. I have friends and family that are Filipino and are in the Philippines that are looking into this for me right now, lucky me!

I've decided to call them out on it.

What do you think?????

Can you believe it? Luckily for me Soap Silly has proof of first use in commerce AND this company has only been in business for a couple of years now.

BTW, in case you are wondering who the company is, it's The Soap Factory ETC. Check it out, they may have copied YOUR company's brand as well.

In case you're having a hard time viewing the site, here's their photos:

The thieves photos are here.

The owner of the soap factory etc owns this site too:
