Recently we did a custom order for a baby shower to welcome an adorable little one, nic-named “Squiggly!”  Our customer wanted something special for her sister’s shower in beautiful spring colors of  orange,  yellow and a green ~ all colors indicative of a freshness, newness and bight beginnings!  She requested our bath teas for each one of her guests, and here’s what we came up with!

The Bath Tea Bags are filled with Dead Sea salt, epson salt, milk powder, herbs and flowers.  We used  3 different fragrances on these, for the yellow ribbon teas~lavender essential oil, the orange ribbons~ sweet orange essential oil, and the green ribbon~geranium essential oil.  They all smelled divine and the customer, shower recipient and guests all loved them!

Our bath teas make awesome gifts!  A light and compact way to give someone the gift of a luxurious bath experience.  They are simple to use, and contain skin nourishing ingredients and rich milk and essential oils to turn your tub water into an instant, aromatic milk bath ~ easily!  Just drop one into your hot bath, and you’re done..

It is always such a pleasure to fill custom orders for our customers.. there’s something special and intimate about working one on one with customers to make their day special.  The baby shower was  a huge success, the teas added that little extra “something,” and baby squiggly made an early appearance and is being LOVED by all!

” Everyone at the shower went crazy for the teabags!….  The baby is a girl!!!  She was 6 weeks early but doing really really wonderfully! Thanks again, your teabags made the shower so special! The napkins under the tea bags are burp cloths I made with cloth diapers. Nothing is better than handmade gifts! ”

LOVE that!

Fullearths is holding Valentines Day Specials ’til Sunday, Feb. 7th at 12 midnight!  Get yours now, as quantities are VERY limited!   Click the pic. to see what’s available!

The Boston Globe reports, major retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue, JC Penney, and even mega marts, like Wally world will be slashing inventory this holiday season, willing to place their bets on low inventory, versus millions in un-sold excess as experienced last year.  See the full article here.

This means not very much selection will be available this year, as each retailer tries it’s best to stock the most popular items of the season, ignoring unique and rare gift items that may lack mainstream appeal.  Don’t be one of the herd, differentiate yourself this year!  Shop online for unique, and sometimes one-of-a-kind, items at fun places like Etsy. There, you can find all of Fullearth’s handcrafted, 100% natural, synthetic-free bath and body items for men, women and children (and even that furry friend!).   Happy Holidays!

Firstly, I know we’re all busy.  The Gal to Gal foundation has made it easy for ANYONE to “Walk for Wishes” this month, in support of  Breast Cancer Awareness. The Fullearths team over at the Gal to Gal Virtual Walk would love to see you become a part of the team!  Just click on “join now”, donate, enter “fullearths” as you team, and walk!  ” The Gal to Gal Foundation “Walking for Wishes” is dedicated to Dorit Shapiro, … past Gal to Gal President who lost her brave battle to stage IV breast cancer last October.”  Dorit’s wish was for the Gal to Gal Foundation to reach a goal of $250, 000 this year.

Here’s a little bit about the foundation:

Secondly, being a woman owned business, Fullearths, etc. has decided to donate 25% of all the proceeds from a very special edition “Shea La La for the Cause” bar, to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

This Bar was created just for this cause and will become an annual special edition item.

This Limited Edition soap bar holds the traditional nourishing ingredients and natural essential oils that have made Shea La La our best seller — but with a twist!  Luxurious rose petals — what lady doesn’t love rose petals?

If there is a special lady in your life, this bar would be a beautiful way to say “I love you!,” “I care what you’re going through,” or “I’m in you’re corner.”   Each order of Shea La La for the Cause will come wrapped in pink ribbon to symbolize the fight against breast cancer.  Every little bit counts!

The name actually was born through this little guy, the SoapWort herb.   I started making soap when we began thinking about having our first baby.  I didn’t want to use any of the chemical laden bath products on the market, even the “baby” products by huge companies like Jonson & Johnson’s (read more here! HUGE disappointment!)  This being 10 years ago, there weren’t very many options available to me, so I ventured into making my own.

Fuller's herb ~ our inspiration...

I went into business after the making of free soap for family and friends became a bit cost prohibitive.  I needed a way to “support” my habit, and starting a small business doing what I already love to do, seemed to be the way to go.  I digress..

As I searched for a company name, I came across the soapwort herb in the bible, it’s called Fuller’s Herb.  So, what does this herb have to do with soap making?  To me, Fuller’s Herb was the very first “soap” on the free market!  A natural herb that LATHERS!!!! It was used by many as a mild skin soap, and laundry wash for delicate fabrics.   I paired the fuller’s herb name with the bounty of the earth that is used in creating our product line, and came up with Fullearth’s.  It has been with us ever since!

...our artists rendition of the Fuller's flower!

In other related news (ha! I’ve always wanted to say that!), we have long been seeking to add to our company colors to emphasis the fact that our wholesome, organic handcrafted soaps, bath and body items are gender neutral in nature and not just for the ladies!  Many men have discovered the unbelievable advantages of our product already, but we believe that the little pink flower may be throwing some off!  LOL

So, we’ve come up with a pallette of corporate colors that holds true to the earthy, organic nature of our product line, by capturing the colors of the perfect little fuller’s flower sitting on an earthy, rustic mountainside.  What do you think?  Leave a comment and let us know!

we LOVE colourlovers.com for color inspiration and palette play!

…and, last but not least!!!! {{drumroll please}}}  Have you seen our new Etsy Shop header?  Now, granted, the new company colors have not yet been incorporated, but we think this header does a great job of showcasing some of the product line, and gives the shop a cleaner, brighter, more airy feel.  Head on over and check it out!

Stay tuned folks, there is MORE to come.. and an exciting new addition to our line in just a few short weeks.  I am VERY excited about this, but you’ll have to hang in there with me, until I’m at liberty to spill…
