Be intentional. 🤍

Your life is shaped by what you repeatedly choose – the habits you honour, the words you speak, the people you surround yourself with, and the direction you keep moving in.

You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need to keep taking the next intentional step toward what you genuinely want.

Choose your habits.
Choose your environment.
Choose your direction.
Choose you.

Let your daily actions reflect the life you say you want.

Before the world asks anything of you…
take one quiet moment for yourself.

Before the emails.
Before the lunches, the washing, the work.
Before everyone needs something from you.

Step into the shower.

Feel the warmth. Breathe in the scent. Let the water fall and, just for a moment, don’t rush.

This is what Ukiyo is about.

Handcrafted soaps. Shampoo and conditioner bars. Shower steamers. Pure essential oils. Simple, beautiful products made to turn something you do every day into a ritual you actually look forward to.

Because self-care doesn’t always need to be another thing on your list.

Sometimes, it’s simply taking a little longer in the shower.

Your uninterrupted moment.

There’s something special about making soap from scratch. 🤍

Slowly blending beautiful botanical ingredients with pure essential oils, pouring each batch by hand, and allowing nature to do what it does best.

No synthetic fragrance. No unnecessary extras. Just thoughtfully chosen oils, botanicals, clays and pure essential oils — brought together to create a bar that feels as beautiful to use as it is to make.

Every Ukiyo soap is handmade by me in small batches, then left to cure slowly before it ever reaches your shower.

It’s a slower way of doing things.

But that’s exactly the point.

Handmade. Botanical. Pure essential oils. Made with intention.

We spend so much of life rushing from one thing to the next.
What if today you protected one uninterrupted moment?
Just for you. Where would that be?

For many years, mainly when my girls were little, a shower was something I rushed. I’d get in, get out, and get on with whatever needed me next. There was no slowing down, no enjoying it. If I’m being completely truthful, it felt more like another chore to tick off the list than a moment for myself.

Now that my children are teenagers, I step under the water, I notice it.
The warmth.
The sound of the water.
The scents.
That peace.
The feeling that, just for a moment, I don’t need to be anywhere else.
Sometimes I think.
Sometimes I breathe.
Sometimes I cry.
Sometimes I do absolutely nothing.

It’s not really about the shower.
It’s about having one uninterrupted moment in a life that rarely stops.

I think we all need somewhere we can exhale.

Where is your uninterrupted moment?

$24.95 for 4 soaps! I've gone mad!!!!

When I first started making soap, there was a lot of experimenting. Finding the perfect blend of nourishing oils came together surprisingly quickly, but what took much longer was learning how much pure essential oil was needed to create the beautiful, lasting scent I wanted every Ukiyo soap to have.

Because of that, I have a quite a few batches that are absolutely beautiful to use, but the scent isn't up to the standard I now expect from every Ukiyo bar. Some have a very subtle scent, some have no scent at all (just the smell of oils), and a few are varieties I've decided to discontinue at this present moment.

Each Bargin Bundle includes 4 assorted handmade soap bars.
• Same premium recipe and nourishing ingredients
• Mixed assortment of scents (or unscented)
• Some bars will be labelled, some may not
• Every bundle is a surprise!
