Hello friends and Happy Holidays!

I'm back with the last product drop of the year! While I'm always delighted to make y'all some goodies, the main purpose of this is to launch and test my NEW WEBSITE! YAY!!! This new site has been in the works since before I closed the stores and I'm SO EXCITED to finally have it out in the world. If you've shopped on my old site in the past few years, you won't have to wonder why. 

Because of my ongoing workshop construction project, our holiday offerings are light again this year. It really took everything I had to pull this off, given my current lack of workspace. But this should be the last time I have to say that! There’s a limited quantity of gift sets (containing 2 best-selling soaps and 4 lip balms) and then just a few each of some other products so that we can test all the different categories and buttons. I expect things will sell out pretty quickly. 

Despite the fact that I have officially changed our name to Mama Apothecary, I still have rolls and rolls of Mama Bath and Body shop bag labels that I just can’t bring myself to add to the landfill. So you’ll recognize those on the gifts :)

After you make your purchase, I’d love for you to pop back and click around on the site. You all are the first eyes to see it and I need to know if anything is clunky or showing up weird (especially on mobile). Please reply to this email if you see anything funky.

The next time you hear from me will be summer of 2026, when my workshop (above, in progress) is ready to go! The space will hopefully be ready in February, but then I have to do the build out and move all of my stuff from multiple spaces. I will finally have a permanent soapmaking set up and my tanks will be back up and running, so it will be much easier to make more of everything (maybe even liquid soap at some point?) I’ll also be launching our new packaging (bye bye plastic!) for our salves and bug sprays. I realize plastic is a complicated problem, but I decided that Mama doesn’t need to continue to add to that particular problem (the exception being spray nozzles; unfortunately there isn’t a non-plastic alternative). So, packaging moving forward will be mainly aluminum, glass and cardboard, all highly recyclable, especially as single streams! It's been a long time coming and I'm extremely happy about this. 

I'll be packing and shipping orders at the beginning of next week so you should have everything in time for the big day.
