Joy, for me, comes from knowing what’s ENOUGH, not striving for MORE.

I donate $1 per bar of soap I sell online. 💛
Lately I’ve focused on Democracy Forward, which has beaten this administration in 93% of their cases.
When they win, it helps every cause I care about — trans rights, abortion access, immigrant rights.

My husband thinks I’ve tricked my friends into helping me bevel and label soap.
But they keep coming back — and love it! Turns out asking for help isn’t weakness.
Sometimes, letting others give to you is the most generous thing you can do.

My Almond soap looks pink, yellow & white — but I split it into six! The fragrance darkens over time, so I scent only half. Part of the swirls stay bright, others deepen with a burnt hue. Soapmaking chemistry is pure magic. 🧼

I didn’t invent the “potato in the candy bowl” trick, but it’s been hilarious! 😂
Some kids are confused… others thrilled!
One neighbor even had his potato for breakfast the next day. 🥔

Old video (note my hair), new reminder: 💛
Optimistic Soap is a one-woman show — me, doing all the jobs, up at 4am chasing this obsession.
I’m at capacity, and that’s okay. We don’t have to chase endless “more.” Sometimes joy is realizing you already have enough.

In 2020, federal troops rampaged through Portland: unmarked cars, tear gas, rubber bullets. I was there. It was hellish.
But we got through it then, and we will again. Portlanders are resilient. Stay peaceful, protect your rights, take care of each other. 💛

Soapmakers ask innocent questions about masterbatching… and autocorrect takes it somewhere else. 🤭
In soapmaking, it’s just pre-measuring oils or lye water in bulk to save time. And the other kind? Perfectly natural — and no, you can’t go blind from doing it too much. 😉
