� Handmade Soaps & Candles – by mom and daughters. Formulated soaps, natural remedies.
Some people see me teaching Lily to make soap with lye and think I’ve lost my mind. 😂
I see chemistry class, math class, life skills, and quality time all rolled into one.
Soap making isn’t just throwing ingredients in a pot and hoping for the best. It’s precise measurements, safety gear, patience, and learning to respect the process. One wrong number and your soap will definitely let you know.
Today Lily helped make one of our non-vegan recipes using shea butter, tallow, coconut oil, and olive oil. She learned why every ingredient has a purpose and why we double-check everything before we mix.
Could I just hand her a tablet and call it a day? Sure.
But I’d rather teach her how to create something with her own hands, solve problems, and maybe even build a business of her own someday.
Besides, if she can safely work with lye, she can probably handle middle school. 😅🧼

🍺🍷🏖️ NEW MONTH. NEW SOAP. QUESTIONABLE DECISIONS. 🏖️🍷🍺
You all loved the Beer Soap.
You all loved the Wine Soap.
Unfortunately, I was drinking wine while making soap and somehow ended up with enough extra batter to create an entirely new bar. 😂
Introducing…
🌊 WASH YOUR BEACHBALLS 🌊
Half Beer Soap.
Half Wine Soap.
100% good clean fun.
This beachy-scented bar is loaded with colorful soap balls throughout because apparently I have no self-control when it comes to soap embeds either.
Smells like:
☀️ Sunshine
🌊 Ocean breeze
🏖️ A beach vacation I haven’t taken yet
Perfect for washing your beachballs, your sandy self, and anything else that survived a Florida summer.
Warning: May cause excessive sniffing, longer showers, and the sudden urge to book a beach trip.
Who needs another boring bar of soap when you can wash your beachballs instead? 😂

So I had to try making this beer soap for my husband it took me two bottles of Yuengling beer to make. And it didn’t come out as pretty as I expected it to.
But it does smell like lemongrass and has essential oils instead of fragrance oils.
And because I clearly don’t know when to stop, I also made a batch with mulled wine. 🍷
Before anyone asks… no, you can’t get drunk from my soap.
Trust me, I already sacrificed the beer for science.
The beer soap came out rich, creamy, and rustic. The wine soap has gorgeous swirls and smells amazing. Both are currently curing while I stare at them like a proud parent.
My husband sees beer.
I see soap.
This is why I have very few hobbies.
🍺 Team Beer
🍷 Team Wine
Which one are you grabbing first?
Get ready to fall in love with my newest vegan soap collection—fresh, creamy, and bursting with irresistible scents you won’t want to put down.
🌾 Lavender Vanilla Oat Milk
🧡 Passionfruit Oat Milk
🌹 Rosy Cheeks (Rose Milk Oat Bar)
Made with oat milk, loaded with shea butter, and handcrafted in small batches, these bars are creamy, luxurious, and each one has its own personality.
One of my favorite moments at the market was watching a customer stand in front of my display trying to figure out what smelled so good. She finally found Rosy Cheeks and said, “Whatever that is, I’m buying it.”
That’s the kind of feedback that makes all the late nights worth it.
Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at cutting, stamping, and getting these bars ready for curing. Which one would you grab first? 🌿💕🧼

Yep, that’s me leaving work at 7:18 PM with an Aldi bag full of soap orders headed to the post office. 📦🧼
Last night I was up until 3:30 AM packaging, labeling, and getting everything ready. This morning came early, followed by a 12-hour shift at my day job, and now it’s time to get these orders on their way.
Running a small business isn’t always glamorous. It’s late nights, early mornings, and squeezing every spare minute into something you believe in.
To everyone who placed an order this week—thank you. Every package means more than you know. You’re supporting a dream built by a mother and her daughters, one soap bar at a time.
Now let’s get these boxes shipped! ❤️ Bodebars.com

🖤 NEW & IMPROVED 🖤
Some of our most-loved bars are back, and a few have gotten a little makeover along the way.
Our Activated Charcoal Tea Tree Bar continues to be a customer favorite for those who love a fresh, clean feeling, while Ugly Betty is still flying off the shelves at the farmers market.
Don't let the name fool you—Ugly Betty may not be the prettiest girl at the dance, but she's one of the first bars to sell out every single market.
Made with pure lemongrass, lime, and sweet orange essential oils, she smells bright, fresh, and absolutely amazing.
No fragrance oils.
No shortcuts.
Just handcrafted soap made in small batches.
If you've been looking for your market favorites online, they're waiting for you at BodeBars.com.
