Brian is amazinggg and set me up with a Redbubble page! Huzzah!
WHO HAS TWO THUMBS AND JUST MADE THEIR FIRST SUCCESSFUL BATCH OF SCENTED NAIL POLISH?
THIS GUY.
New labels! And stuff!
Just need to photograph the Celtic beard stuff and it’ll be up on the shop! Brian says he likes Cernunnos better than Odin and Hades, so that’s a good sign! I think it might be my favorite too. Benzoin man. Benzoin.
New Label for Turisoap! Gonna do a new one for the Happy Little Boozer mold too. Soon. Sometime. Soon.
And a new Duncan Hills exfoliating soap with ground coffee. The smell of actual coffee makes it prettttty magical if I do say so myself.
I’ve also got labels for a new 1/2 ounce size for the perfumes, but they look like the other perfume labels sooooo. AND I GOT A SHRINK WRAP SYSTEM. No more cellophane! I can rest easy during the rainy season now. HUZZAH.
I would totally sell these. But how the fuck would I ship them? Especially during the summer. Balls.
I’ve gotten a few asks about body scrubs, so here ya go! More tutorials here. And before I get asked again, the “scary witch lady” is not a scary witch lady but the mascot for my bath & body company, Bath Sabbath, which is Heavy Metal themed… He can be a scary witch lady if you ask politely though.
Let me know if you have any questions or I spelled something wrong k thankssssss.

Gulp. I guess it’s also the best time to tell you I opened up a Twitter account for Bath Sabbath.
I have no fucking clue how to use it.
Perfumes are back in the shop and in more sizes and scents!
Now available in 1 dram, 2 dram and 1/2 dram vials, and 12 scents: Keelhauled, Born of Fire, Fairies wear Boots, No Presents for Christmas, Once Sent for the Golden Hall, Winterheart’s Guild, Cursed be Iron, Moonchild, Holy Diver, Bard’s Song, Duncan Hills and Fiddler on the Green.
AH I feel like a jerk, by alcohol based perfumes I mean as the carrier!
For instance, traditional perfumes are typically oils in a base of perfumer’s alcohol (or vodka, but I’m not allowed to sell that). I sell perfume oils which have a base of carrier oils, including Organic Golden Jojoba, which is the best carrier for fragrance, and difficult to make, therefore a bit pricier than other carrier oils. I use it because it holds scent really well (it’s actually a liquid wax) BUT I meant if I were to make the Bath Sabbath scents available as traditional alcohol based perfumes/colognes would you be interested?
I would be able to sell them in larger amounts and at a cheaper price relative to the oils, because there would be no expensive carrier oils. BUT the fragrance would dissipate faster and alcohol can be drying to the skin. Commercial alcohol based perfumes tend to last longer due to their high amount of preservatives which is not my bag.
But hey, I could always try my hand at more booze scented fragrances! That’s what I’m going for in the candles! BUT YES. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION. <3
Also, a note on the names for colognes/perfumes/body mist/splash/eau de toilette/bullshit. Most people have been taught that perfume=ladies, cologne=men. This is wrong on so many accounts. They are simply classifications and refer to the ratio of aromatic compounds vs. the carrier (be it oil, powder, alcohol, wax, etc). Here is the list from Wikipedia:
- Powder perfume: 31% perfume essence into the cosmetic talc formula, with no trace of alcohol.
- Perfume: 15-40% (typical 20%) aromatic compounds
- Esprit de Parfum: 15-30% aromatic compounds
- Eau de Parfum, Parfum de Toilette: 10-20% (typical 15%) aromatic compounds, sometimes listed as “eau de perfume” or “millésime.”
- Eau de toilette: 5-15% (typical 10%) aromatic compounds
- Eau de Cologne: Chypre citrus type perfumes with 3-8% (typical 5%) aromatic compounds. “Original Eau de Cologne” is a registered trademark.
- Perfume mist: 3-8% aromatic compounds
- Splash and Aftershave: 1-3% aromatic compounds.
So know what you’re paying for! If your macho bullshit means you can’t buy “perfume,” just know you’re paying the same price for less than half the aromatic compounds! Yayyy.
I still sometimes use the words perfume and cologne interchangeably, or just type “perfume/cologne” or just fragrance, but that’s just a bad habit I need to break. I am always selling perfume, each vial contains 35-40% aromatic compounds.
Aromatic compounds need to be mixed with a carrier, it can be very irritating, if not dangerous to put straight fragrance and essential oils directly onto the skin (there are a few exceptions, Lavender oil being one of them). It’s also much more cost effective!
And I will not be replacing the perfume oils. I love oils too much and I’m just a bitch for jojoba and the convenience of putting my perfume in my pocket. OK I’M GOING TO GO PHOTOGRAPH THEM AND PUT THEM UP ON THE SHOP FINALLLLY. <3
New labels and Beard care stuff are finally up in the shop!
Available in Hades Beard Oil, scented with Lime and Pomegranate, a reference to the tempting of Persephone. And Hercules Beard Wax (in spiced Orange, a reference to the 11th labor of Hercules and the Garden of Hesperides).
I’m currently working on the corresponding soap for this set (which will be the Aegis of Zues) and the Celtic Pantheon are in the works as well!
THE HEART OF TURISOAP WAS FORGED BY FOUR WINDS IN A SMITHY IN MY KITCHEN.
BLARGH. Okay. So these are potential new labels for the Beard Oils and Waxes (the size and ingredient information isn’t shown here though). Greek themed will be available by Friday, I’M HOPING. If I can reshoot everything tomorrow. So, should I go ahead with the new designs or keep the old?
And I’m sorry for being so absent, I will attend my inbox in the morning! For now I need fucking sleep. <3
