Doesn't every one of us love to feel pampered? I do! I don't know how much time and money I would spend at specialty bath & body shops splurging on "pamper me" products. I love soaking in a bath and conditioning my skin w/ wonderful oils and scents. Unfortunately, I could never find products that would really hydrate my skin and keep it hydrated. So, I started reading and learning about the ingredients. Then came the books, recipes, and more books. Already at home w/ my two girls (at the time) and my in-home daycare, I got creative! I started playing around making different recipes. Many people told me that I should sell my products, I thought they were crazy.
But what do you know, I started handing out samples and I had people asking to buy my products from there. That's how THE SOAP LOUNGE was born. We started selling products in April of 2003, in Savannah & St. Joseph, Missouri.
We've been keeping our customers glowing with our bath & body products made only of the finest - purest ingredients we can find. Our products are free of the harsh chemicals and preservatives that our competitors use to mass produce their products.
All our products are made fresh to order by hand, so sometimes everything isn't colored perfectly or a label is on crooked. We assure you that your skin will thank you when you pamper it the all natural way.
We specialize in home spa parties, offering an array of themed parties: Trunk Shows, Mother-daugther parties, Bingo, Girls Night Out, Pamper the expecting mother, Pamper the bride to be, and our new Princess Party geared toward young girls. They have all been a hit and definitely keep us busy in the Soap Lounge kitchen. They say you need to give a new business five years before you start making money on it. We're in our fifth year right now and are doing great thanks to all our loyal customers! I was able to close my daycare at the end of 2005, and now count on the Soap Lounge for my income. I have learned that anything is possible. So if you have a dream and a desire, go for it. You might just find yourself selling it some day!!!! Being a WAHM has allowed me to schedule my work around my children. I make products when play time is over, when they are napping, while they are eating lunch. It's a joy being able to work around their schedule and not missing a beat with them! Plus with my older two, 5 & 8, they often get to help mommy label products and bag orders. They get to feel like big girls and I get a little extra help. It's a great bonding time. In the "spa" world, I also do many of my daughters birthday parties and girl scout events. Which just makes me that much more involved in their lives. I couldn't imagine working outside the home and missing out on all of them growing!
