Pelino's Artisan Soap and Sundries

New toy, unlocked! 🧼✨

My new soap extruder, disks and soap stamps have officially arrived, and I can’t wait to start creating even more intricate and unique designs for my soaps using soap dough! The creative possibilities are endless, and I’m excited to see what I can dream up next.

Stay tuned—there are some beautiful new designs coming to Pelino’s Artisan Soap & Sundries this winter, and I can’t wait to share them with you! 💕🌿

Can anyone guess what soap I’m gearing up to make? 🤔🧼 and yes these are all soap

Think…
🔥 Fireside
🍫 Chocolate
🤍 Marshmallows and cinnamon

What scent do you think is headed to the soap studio? Drop your guesses below! 👇

I’ll give you a hint… it smells like one of the coziest treats you’ll enjoy around a campfire. 😉

Some of my favorite orders are the ones where customers simply say, “We trust you.” 💕

Today I had the opportunity to create two custom gift baskets. They gave me a budget for each basket and trusted me to take it from there.

After asking just a few questions about scent preferences, I got to do what I love most—mixing and matching products to create gifts that are both beautiful and meaningful.

Thank you for trusting me with your special gifts. Knowing that people have confidence in my creativity and attention to detail is one of the greatest compliments I could receive. 💗

Need a custom gift basket? Whether it’s a thank you, birthday, housewarming, or “just because,” I’d love to create something uniquely tailored to your budget and occasion.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is step away.

I took a few days off from the soap studio, unplugged from all electronics, and spent the day exploring Letchworth State Park—known as the “Grand Canyon of the East.” 🌿🏞️

It absolutely did not disappoint. The waterfalls, the views, the fresh air… it was exactly what I needed to recharge and refill the creative tank.

Now it’s back to the studio, feeling refreshed and ready to make soaps, lotions, and all the goodies you’ve been waiting for. Sometimes a little time in nature is the perfect ingredient for creativity.

Hope you all had an amazing day too! 💕🧼

Today I decided to take a break from the soap studio and spend some time with my first love… being one with nature. 🌿💚

I headed to Green Lakes today, and it was absolutely beautiful. There’s something about the peaceful water, the trees, and the fresh air that has a way of resetting your mind and filling your creative cup.

As much as I love creating soaps and skincare, sometimes the best inspiration comes from simply slowing down and appreciating the beauty around us. Nature has always been at the heart of what I do, and days like today remind me why.

Tomorrow it’s back to the soap studio, refreshed, recharged, and full of new inspiration. 🍃✨

I absolutely love how much these colors darkened during the salonification! 🍂🧡 The transformation is one of my favorite parts of soapmaking, and this one did not disappoint.

These rich, warm tones turned into the perfect fall palette—exactly what I envisioned for Sweater Weather. Cozy, comforting, and full of autumn vibes, this bar is everything I love about the season.

Who else is ready for crisp mornings, oversized sweaters, and all things fall? 🍁🧼

✨ The cut is here… introducing All Dark & Handsome. ✨

I couldn’t be happier with how this one turned out. The design is bold, rich, and sophisticated—and it smells every bit as amazing as it looks.

This handcrafted beer soap opens with bright citrus notes of lemon and bergamot, followed by a fresh heart of leafy greens and sage, all resting on a warm, long-lasting base of sandalwood. It’s a clean, masculine scent that’s both refreshing and refined.

Made with All Dark & Handsome beer from Copper City Brewery, this bar is proof that great beer makes incredible soap.

What do you think of this cut? I have a feeling this one won’t stay on the shelves for long! 🍺🧼
