The 3/50 Project

Have you heard about the 3/50 Project? If you haven't, it's about time you find out! The 3/50 Project began with a simple blog post about saving the economy by supporting 3 businesses at a time.

Here's how to get started: Think of three local independently owned business that you couldn't live without. Thought of them? All it takes is $50 a month at each of these stores to keep them around, keep your hard earned dollars local, and give other local, independent stores a chance!

Thanks for supporting locally owned businesses!

New SUMMER Line!!

Hi everyone!

AnnaKate Soaps is proud to announce our 2010 Summer Line! We've developed five new soaps, a salt soak, and sugar scrub cubes for your soapy pleasure! These new products are fresh, fun, and -- of course -- summery! They're inspired by everything we love about summer like the lake, fresh fruit, cool treats, and luscious gardens. We hope you love them as much as we do. If you'd like to order any, just e-mail us at annakatesoaps@gmail.com.

So, without further ado, here's the 2010 Summer Line:

Strawberry Guest Soaps

Fruity Sugar Scrubs

Strawberry Lemonade

Go Fish

Creamsicle Soapsicles

Dead Sea Salt Soak

Fresh Garden

Soak It Up!

AnnaKate Soaps has been hard at work creating new products to add to our handcrafted soap line. After many long hours of soaking in the tub...oops, I mean long hours of research, we've finally created a great line of bath salts.

Our bath salts are created with Dead Sea Salt - which is composed of the salt extracted from the Dead Sea. Dead Sea Salt claims to help with many common skin ailments and assist in circulation because of its mineral rich properties.

Our Bath Salts will be available for purchase a few short weeks - email annakatesoaps@gmail.com for more information.

New Poll: Favorite Summer Fruit Scent

Our last poll has closed and the results were pretty much what I was expecting for our market. The majority (66%) of respondents said all natural bath and body care products were slightly important in influencing their buying decisions. One-third of respondents said all natural products were not at all important to them. No one said all natural products were extremely important and no one was uninformed about what "all natural" meant (in the scope of this survey, at least). Thanks to everyone who participated in the poll! This information is really helpful to us and we really appreciate all your input!

The next poll you can participate in is all about fruit scents!! We're working hard to develop some yummy summer soaps and want to know what kind of fruit scents you love the best! Pick your favorite and/or leave a comment to tell us why OR if you have a favorite that wasn't listed. We want to hear it!
