The Tale of Super Soap Girl
Several years ago I was asked to write an Artisan's Bio for one of the Craft Markets I was attending. Rather than doing the usual, (BORING) bio, I thought we could have some fun. YAY!
Without further ado, here is the story of Super Soap Girl and her Grime Fighting Powers!
Without further ado, here is the story of Super Soap Girl and her Grime Fighting Powers!
_ Once upon a time – over 10 years ago – an unsuspecting young
woman took an aromatherapy class. Fascinated by the multiple uses of essential
oils, she decided to incorporate them into her everyday life. One recipe she
came across was for a natural shampoo; the recipe called for an unscented
homemade soap. The young woman searched high and low in her small little town
and could not find such a soap anywhere. Not to be defeated, the young woman
decided she could follow in the footsteps of her great grandmother and LEARN to
make soap!
So, the young woman got a book, rendered her own beef fat and made her very first batch of soap. The beef fat rendering process was SO unpleasant, she vowed to only use vegetable oils in the future! Though the shampoo was something of a goopy failure, it was the catalyst for the young woman’s burgeoning love affair with soap making.
Over the next few years, the young woman would make soap for herself, friends and family. Everyone RAVED over her soap! So the young woman made more, and more and MORE. She was having a lot of fun creating and concocting.
Soon her bathroom cupboard and hallway closets were bursting with soap. The bathroom cupboards and hallway closets of her friends and family were bursting with soap! And yet, the young woman was compelled to make more, and more and MORE.
One night, in 2006, in her Comox Valley Super Soap Lab, the fever to create was at an all-time high. The young woman was working hard, measuring and heating her natural oils, mixing in Goat’s Milk and Vitamin E, before adding her beloved essential oils and pouring her creation into molds. It was while she was cutting the previous day’s soap, preparing it for the six week curing process, that the transition happened.
A HUGE bubble formed out of her creation, and a magnificent, disembodied voice proclaimed to her, “My child, you are no longer merely a young woman making soap for friends and family. You must now go and share your creations with the world.” The bubble morphed into a bubble hand and began gesturing wildly before the voice boomed “ You have a further mission, to clean up the world, one bar of soap at a time! You shall now be known as “Super Soap Girl” and I bestow upon you “Grime Fighting Powers” to help you with your task!”
The strange hand bonked the woman on her head, and the bubble popped. Out of the suds of the bubble, Super Soap Girl and SavonLee Homemade Products were born.
Since the inception of SavonLee, Super Soap Girl has extended her offerings into Mineral Spa Soaks (made with healing Dead Sea Salt and Essential Oils); Facial Skin Care Products (Bella Scented Night Cream is a family favourite!); Hemp Hand and Body Lotions; *MetaphysicaLee* sprays and more!
