Wild Women Soaps

Time to wake up sleepy heads. Dust off the computer screen (and Wild Women Soaps blog), open up the tired eyes and breathe in fresh air. No better way, my friends, than meeting a brand new soap. And this soap is not kidding around. It fairly YELLS at you…
meet Wake Up Call.

No snooze button here. Get up! Wake up! Get clean. Get going. Eucalyptus, peppermint, and tea tree guarantee you are living, moving, vibing, and positively AWAKE.

Years ago I made a pure Peppermint soap I called Peppermint Tea but I struggled with the scent holding in the bar and the ‘sweetness’ that aging peppermint developed was downright annoying— I mean it’s nice, but not the same peppery, snappy, in-your-face event that fresh peppermint provides. Then, a couple years ago a friend hounded me into making her an eucalyptus soap, which I experimented with, but gracious folks, straight eucalyptus can singe the fine hairs right outta the inside of your nose. A bit much, I called it.

Simultaneously, in my fickle pursuit of what I “like,” which changes by the nano-second, I accidentally switched from using my Fresh Orange Lip Lust Lip Butter to Tea Tree Lip Lust Lip Butter. Accidentally? Yes, indeed— up too late at night labeling tubes of Lip Butter and mislabeled a set. It happens. An accident, I called it.

Next morning on the way to work in the blistering heat of a mid-Arizona summer, I wondered why my lips were tingling and rejoicing with rapture. As I mentally retraced my Lip Butter steps I figured out it wasn’t Fresh Orange (which is glorious, by the way) but actually Tea Tree, which I’ve used before but never appreciated like I did in that moment. Healed lips, I called it.

Then the idea hit me…. Combine those two pesky animals (Peppermint & Eucalyptus) throw in a dash of Tea Tree for healing magic and low and behold—greatness. A soap that will not be denied.

I dare you.

Wake Up.
