A little something new from The Figgy Tree Soap Company 🌿

These handmade hot & cold packs have been a labor of love. Each one is made with 100% cotton fabric and filled with 1.5 pounds of rice that I infuse with essential oils for two full months, along with lavender flowers for a beautiful, natural aroma.

Warm one up when you want cozy, comforting heat, or chill it for a refreshing cold pack. Each pack is approximately 12–13” × 8”, with three individually sewn sections that help keep the rice evenly distributed.

Every one is cut, sewn, filled, and finished by hand — right down to the little Figgy Tree label. And I have to admit, choosing the fabrics might be my favorite part. 🐝🌈🌿

$35 each
2 for $65

Handmade in small batches by The Figgy Tree Soap Company.

Living in the middle of 40 acres of orange trees has a way of resetting my nervous system 🌿🍊

When my head feels full or my thinking gets noisy, I do something simple and grounding. I work with what’s around me. Today that meant oranges—lots of them. I made a big batch of orange marmalade and filled the dehydrator with sliced oranges, the whole house smelling like citrus and warmth.

There’s something about using your hands, moving slowly, and turning what’s right in front of you into something nourishing. No urgency. No productivity hustle. Just peel, slice, stir, wait. The rhythm clears my thinking better than any to-do list ever could.

This is how I destress: quiet, sunshine, citrus, and letting my mind catch up with my body. 🍊

Lather that bubbles like laughter and light,
Scents that go drifting like snowflakes in flight.
Glycerin hugs and essential-oil cheer-
Handmade delights for this time of year.

When life gets messy, when stress takes wing,
I grab a soap and inhale deeply-oh what joy they bring!
Skin feels happy, my whole heart sings-
These are a few of my favorite things…

Today was a candle-making day at Figgy Tree. Emily brought me a stack of empty yogurt jars from her university campus, and you know me… I can’t throw away a perfectly good container. So these little clay jars have been given a new life as hand-poured candles. Everything has a purpose, sometimes more than one, and I love keeping beautiful things in circulation. I hope that when the candle is done, whoever takes one home finds another use for the jar and lets it keep telling its story.

Shredded soap bags are one of my favorite ways to give every last bit of a bar a second life. When I trim or bevel soaps, those soft curls and shreds don’t go to waste—they’re gathered, dried, and tucked into small muslin bags. Each muslin bag is filled with a soothing blend of rolled oats, a touch of plant-based glycerin, shreds of my cold process soap, and a hint of essential oil and shea.

When the bag is activated under warm water, the oats soften into a gentle cleanser, the soap shreds begin to lather, and the glycerin draws moisture to the skin. Shea adds a creamy slip, creating a soft, comforting wash that feels as good as it smells.

Use it directly on the skin like a wash pouch, or let it steep in the bath for a milky, aromatic soak. Hang to dry between uses and enjoy until the bag is fully spent.

It’s a simple, zero-waste indulgence—grounded, natural, and made with intention. Perfect for gifting, traveling, or treating yourself to a little everyday care.

Cutting soap today!
This batch will cure for about 60 days, so off to the drying rack it goes.
I made chamomile, lavender, and bergamot this time—the soap room smells amazing!
