Give a Bar of Soap

We are a blessed company, in fact, that is where we got our name! We want to pay it forward, so we take pride in giving globally and locally by partnering with various charitable organizations to provide soap to the needy and build character and confidence in people.

I recently learned that the people of Zimbabwe are in a crisis and do not have enough food, clothes, money, or even the basics such as soap. Through my church, Calvary Chapel in Chattanooga, and a mission called Zimbabwe 911, I was able to connect with a team of people filled with God's love, and help fill a 40 foot container full of the essentials to ship over seas. My contribution was primarily soap and wash clothes of course! What a joy it is for me to use the talents God gave me to be a blessing to families half way around the world. I pray that the work of my hands will touch people's lives in significant ways and they'll know they are loved. Please visit their website, pray, and help however you can.

I made a special recipe, emailed to me from Africa, called Sunshine Soap. It was hard, gritty, and didn't smell so great, but it's what they use for everything. I also sent about 100 bars of our lavender-vanilla-cinnamon-patchouli soap for them to really enjoy! It is interesting how we take having clean bodies, dishes, and clothes for granted in America. For $5, you can send a bar of Good Fortune soap and a wash cloth a charity of your choice. Partner with us and help spread some Good Fortune!

New and Improved Foot Therapy Packaging


What could be better after a long, hard day than a snuggly bathrobe and a long foot rub? Okay, having someone hand you the robe and rub your feet would be ideal, but you have to start somewhere! Add Good Fortune Peppermint Tea Tree Foot Therapy to the mix, and you've got the perfect recipe for stress relief!

We want you to be able to enjoy this tingly treat down to the last scoop, so we changed the packaging to make it easier to use. No more banging the Skin Therapy container on the table to try to get that rich, thick cream to come out. No more clogged flip tops from the chunky Foot Scrub adding more tension to your day. No more wasting product because it’s trapped at the bottom of the container. Now both products can be scooped out of reusable and recycle-able (#1 PET) plastic jars! The new design also provides easy stacking and storage. We've found the perfect combination; the same great recipe with even better accessibility.

We love your feedback! Keep it coming, and you will continue to see product improvement to meet your needs, down to the last detail. In the meantime, pamper yourself and enjoy!

custom gift favors

We specialize in custom favors and gifts for weddings, showers, and parties! Have your cake and eat it too with no minimum order, and no extra charge for custom labels! My friend Christy, graphic designer & scrap booking genius, ordered plain bars of soap and wrapped them herself. Check out her blog to see how beautiful they turned out. If you don't want to do them yourself, we can help. Either way they make great gifts and everyone uses soap!

my first soap in the new studio (with mom)


Good news and bad news...Let's start with the good news first. My dream became a reality last Tuesday when I finally made my first batch of soap in my new studio (while also training my mother). We've both worked so hard preparing the new space, and I forgot for a split second how grueling the process can be (wait, I'm not done with the good news yet). We made 800 bars of soap, learned life lessons, laughed, and didn't kill each other. Yeah! Okay, the bad news is that it almost killed us! We learned we need more outlets because the breaker kept blowing! This is especially terrible when it is really hot outside, you're oily all over, and someone has to run with slippery shoes to flip the switch. We learned paper towels and garbage cans need to be at every corner, the winch needed a handle, humidity makes the soap thicken faster, the area isn't laid out just right, and mom learned that lye burns!!! Yikes, but all-in-all we had a victorious day! Hopefully this inside look at our lives will make you re-consider when you excitedly ask, "When can I come watch you make soap?" Ha! I will put you to work!
