ABOVE is a honey soap I make using honey from our beehives. Its delicious on the skin, very moisturising and very nourishing. This is one of our most popular soaps and its always in our shower soap dish.
BELOW is SubLime - with lime and ginger pure essential oils it smells just like summer, I've coloured this one with organic wheatgrass for the green and Australian white clay for the topping.
As you may recall, I'm heading back to full time uni study next year which is exciting, but also a little concerning re the whole money/cashflow situation.
So I'm setting weekends aside for work - a Saturday morning soap stall at the local farmers' market and for permaculture jobs - I'll be keeping my hand in the teaching side of things and I'm open to offers from community and school gardens, and community groups who'd like to learn more about permaculture design, organic vegie growing, composting, worm farming, chooks, Transition Towns...
Once I've got my timetable for the semester, I'll have an idea of the weekday time I'll have available, but I'm hoping for some work to come in for Saturdays and Sundays next year, just to keep some groceries in the cupboards and the wolf from the door.
Cheers,
Sonya

your soaps look lovely - I especially like the honey one. Good luck with part time work and studying - my daughter and her husband are trying to do that.
Good luck I tried that it is great fun.
One of my Grans favorite sayings was "If you want to get the job done, give it to a busy person "
Hi Sonia,
I have just discovered your blog and found your post about soap fascinating. I am a very new beekeeper, so I am sure I will be looking at your experiences with interest. What will you be studying?

I've heard that saying too Cathy, it is true. Hi Jo, welcome to Permaculture Pathways, I'm studying nursing next year. Big step, but lots of support out there.
The soaps look gorgeous. Good luck with the study!:-)
honey soap sounds and looks delicious. Good luck with the transition.
