About Me

I own a company in Canada called The Soap Goat Soap Shop .
Have you ever wondered why washing with store bought soaps made your skin dry, irritated, cracked and itchy?
This is because what you're washing with is clothing detergent!
Store bought bar soaps are nothing more then harsh detergents in bar form!
The soaps you buy in your grocery store does not have the wonderful natural glycerin that you'll find in handmade soap bars ....Or if they do, they have so very little in each bar, that it does nothing for you (but they can advertise it's in there which is a great selling gimmick!!).
Natural glycerin will help keep your skin soft and smooth. Store bought soaps tend to keep your skin dry, scaly and itchy.
The only thing store bought soap generally has over a bar of handmade soap is the price - but - with having dry itchy irritated skin, how much extra do you need to spend on expensive lotions to get that dry chapped, itchy, irritated skin back to looking, feeling and being normal?
I would even recommend ANY handmade soap (not made with Tallow though, that's animal fat)...over any Dove, Zest, Irish Spring etc.....(yuk yuk yuk).
Other than making soap, and selling soap supplies, I think (nope, I KNOW) I've also become addited to this website & reading other people's blogs. It's kinda fun to read what goes on in other peoples lives.
Making people's butts silky soft since 1999. A Canadian Company.

My Interests

My interests range from anything to do with making soap, to designing my own soap molds, to the warm outdoors, and relaxing with my son at home. I'm not much for cold. I like snow just fine, but looking at it from inside a nice warm room with a fireplace burning and a nice hot coffee & baileys is as far as I go to being in the snow! Give me warm beaches, grassy meadows, the ocean, lakes, and rivers any day! I love music - I was a nightclub DJ for 14 yrs. I love pretty much any style of music BUT hardcore rap or country. I'm an 80's child. Sick as it sounds, I love absolutely everything from the 80's (music, movies, clothing, attitudes), up until about the mid 90's.I love to laugh. Love being around funny people. I like not acting my age.If the sun is shining outside, then chances are that's where I'll be too =)

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
