In the Soap Pot This Week

Posted on January 31, 2012 by Oma's Favorite

This week in the Soap Pot…

In the Pot 300x225 In the Soap Pot This Week

One of the things most of Oma’s fans tell us are how creative our soap names are. Well, I truly enjoy the naming process. It’s a family affair! This week, my youngest daughter, who is 8, came up with the names of this week’s batches:

Three soaps. One has the scent of freshly cut grass. One is a milk soap, with a touch of hyssop for fragrance, and the third is a nice Honey and Almond blend. The names of this trio:

  1. The Land (freshly cut grass)
  2. Of Milk (milk with hyssop)
  3. And Honey (almond/honey blend)

These fragrances are awesome, and I had to give my baby girl a “high 5″ with this idea! I really hope y’all will enjoy them!

I promised last week to announce the name  February’s Soap of the Month! Well, here she is -

In the Soap Pot

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Oma's Favorite

In the Pot 300x225 In the Soap PotThis week in the Soap Pot:

  • That 70′s Soap (which is a personal favorite of mine!). If you’re a fan of patchouli but don’t always like it straight, you’ll love That ’70s Soap! A beautiful blend of sweet orange and patchouli!
  • Pomegranate – It’s been almost a year since this one was around, and I’m glad to see it again! It was a hit!
  • Mystique – Another terrific scent that we couldn’t keep in stock last year. It’s a subtle and fresh fragrance. If you like Pure Grace by Philosophy, you’ll love Mystique!
  • Mulberry – Yum- Oh! Mouthwatering.

Since this it’s almost the end of the month, we’ll be unveiling the Soap of the Month for February by the end of the week! Stay tuned!

Oma’s Soap on Nails!?!

Posted on January 12, 2012 by Oma's Favorite

Hi! It’s Leslie from Polish Art
Addiction. I paint all sorts of crazy nail art and decided to
tribute Jackie’s brand as she is a close friend of mine!
I love Jackie’s products and I love being her guinea pig for new ideas! icon wink Omas Soap on Nails!?!
Check out my blog for more nail art ideas and tutorials on how
to recreate them!My only tools were nail polish and a teeny tiny paintbrush.

Oma%2527s1 Omas Soap on Nails!?!
 I wanted to fit all of Oma on my nail, but I couldn’t figure out
a way at the time to make it work. So I included her glasses on my
thumb.
Oma%2527s2 Omas Soap on Nails!?!
 I’ve got a cutey little rubber ducky on my ring finger. And
bubbles and suds on my other nails. The real bubbles in my hand are
from Jackie’s Bubble Bath Bomb which is a rich, foaming explosion of
cleanliness. icon smile Omas Soap on Nails!?!
Oma%2527s3 Omas Soap on Nails!?!
Oma%2527s4 Omas Soap on Nails!?!
Oma%2527s5 Omas Soap on Nails!?!
Oma%2527s6 Omas Soap on Nails!?!
 Cake Batter smells so delicious!
Oma%2527s7 Omas Soap on Nails!?!
I only used polishes for this look:
Hard Candy Sky
Essie Coat Azure
Sally Hansen Insta Dri Whirlwind White
WnW Black Creme
Hard Candy Splendid
China Glaze Lifesaver
Milani Cyberspace

Leslie did such a great job on hers, that I just had to have the look myself! This was so fun, and I appreciate Leslie’s creativity!
