This is the confessional for the art, entrepreneurialism, and exaltation of handcrafted soaps; cosmetics; and perfumes. It's also a celebration of those who learn it, make it, sell it, teach it, preach it, and everything in between. You may be thinking a podcast dedicated to soap sounds boring, but I can assure you that something with a reputation as clean as soap most definitely has a filthy and entertaining side. It's also a peek behind the shower curtain of my universe of beauty, bathing, and business. I have twenty-three years of historical accounts of exorcisms and miracles around the art of soap & cosmetics. Thirteen of those years have been as an entrepreneur. I'm thrilled to be sitting on a present-day podcasting pulpit, of sorts, and telling the tale of two beauty brands. Bathhouse Soapery & Villainess Alchemy; the proverbial sinner and saints of the podcast and the embodiment of my good & bad girl identities. I began teaching myself the science and art of soap, cosmetic, and perfume formulating at 19, at my kitchen table. Once you're possessed by the holy ghost of creating your bath & beauty luxuries, you'll find there aren't enough people to give it away to. Like me, you may have the revelation of selling your handcrafted wares. *Que the baptism by fire into the entrepreneurial world. It's not all "Insta-pretty" posts of makers milking their goats and holding trays of fresh handcrafted soap at the farmer's market. As the former president of the world's largest trade association for handcrafted soap & cosmetic makers, I can tell you it can be a blood bath to bring your craft to commerce. That's why my soap kitchen is my church and bathing my religion. I personally and professionally invite you to join the congregation of Sinner Saint & Soapmaker while we worship the practical magic of beauty, business, and bathing.
