Update

Well, it's official. The new Reddit Alien soap will be ready for pre-sale on Monday, July 27th!

We're very excited, very nervous, very much looking forward to seeing what happens with the sale.

I do have a request, for those of you who read this... and I'll be posting it on Reddit, when the soap hits.

We'll be having a Cool Reddit Alien Soap Picture Contest! Not sure what the prize is going to be, but it'll be something AWESOME, like a $100 gift certificate to Soapier, or some such thing.

We'll see.

I'm really looking forward to it. My mom and sister have been working their asses off, but they're looking forward to, well, so much. The orders, paying bills...

Thanks to everyone for their continued support. We really appreciate it!

Reddit alien soap

Here's the soap for Reddit!

We're offering it in both orange and bacon fragrance.

Yes, bacon.

Also, to answer some of the other questions we've gotten on this blog, we're going to be offering lotions and sugar scrubs some time in the future.

Thanks for all the great comments! We'll let you know when the reddit soap is available.

My adventure to appease Reddit

Ok, so. The place we buy scents from (one of the places anyway) had a sample order we made for the bacon fragrance.

Now, two other people have to sniff the fragrance, but I think we found a winner! I'm very excited about it.

Had a panic attack while I was walking back to the subway. Was exhausted by the time I got home.

We'll have the soap mold tomorrow or Monday, and have prototypes ready to take photos and send to Reddit.

Looks like I'm going to have to take a ton of xanax and head down to Florida. Reddit will be pre-selling the soap for 2-3 weeks, so that we have time to make as much as possible before they are shipped (although we'll be shipping as we make them... just to get them to the customers as quickly as possible).

I don't have a fear of flying, btw. Isn't that weird?

Oh, and I got a Reddit shirt today, and I can't tell you how much I wanted someone to stop me on the street while I had the fragrances, and tell them who I was, and share them with them. That would have been awesome.

where we're at

It's been a crazy month.

We just recently got some photos of the molds of our new Reddit Alien Soap.

We should get the first plastic mold in a couple of days, so we can create the soap and start pre-selling!

People ask me what my favorite soaps are. I figured I'd take a moment and list / show some...

My all time favorite is:



Amber Goat's Milk.

The smell is nice and warm and refreshing. It's also got some calendula flowers in it for a light exfoliant.

I also really like:



Oatmeal, Milk & Honey

Bits of oatmeal at the top, and again, a nice warm smell. Does a lot for people with dry skin.




Vanilla

Do I really have to say anything about this soap? It smells FANTASTIC.

We have all of our orders shipped as of tomorrow. My mom's been working very hard. It's crazy. So has my sister. I think she's having dreams about soap these days.

Thanks for reading. More later. OH, the other big news... for those of you with websites out there, we'll be having our affiliate program up and running tomorrow, for those who would like to make some money ;)
