January 2025 News
Market off-season
I’m out from markets through the winter, but I’m always happy to bring orders placed through the website to Farmers Markets (or drop off at H.O.M. for Swarthmore) during my “off seasons”.
Local pick-ups are always available as an option during checkout.
Social Media Shenanigans
I’ve admittedly never been great with the social media posting, this past year in particular. I found it very difficult because of the “algorithms” complicating what actually gets shown to people and I’d rather spend my time making something than fighting an algorithm.
You will now find npsoaps on BlueSky. I’ll try to periodically post elsewhere (Instagram, Facebook), but I’m hoping that this way you’ll actually be able to see things when they’re relevant instead of days (or weeks) later, if at all.
Notes on Product Restocks
The price of some ingredients has risen to the point where I cannot afford to use them.
You may have noticed that the base oils I use for the soap has evolved from when NPS started 10 (!) years ago. I’m doing my best to keep things affordable, to maintain my business standards supporting Fair-Trade and environmentally sustainable endeavors while producing quality products, and to continue to ensure that NPS remains a sustainable business.
I, and my family, are grateful and thank you for your continued support.
Looking Forward
I don’t know about you, but I find myself needing some extra “silliness” in my days. Which may be why I plan to make a batch of something I might (definitely) have said I would never make again. Remember these?
They’ll be back.
Hoping to see something else return?
