Hi, I'm Wendy, and I am a wife, mother, a grandmother (yikes!), soap maker and lover of the "gourmet" moments in life. We live and love in Louisiana so we are ALL about yummy food. When I made the change to preparing fresh whole ingredients and making food from scratch (thank you, Ina and Giada), I began a journey that has led me to this place of passion and love for real, whole, fresh, yummy, goodness that is inherently "gourmet", whether it is something I put in my mouth, slather on my skin, or in which I soak my body. Don't all great things start in the kitchen? And so did my soap journey.
I began to study the "old ways" and "new" ways (technology and equipment are awesome!) of making and using soap and skin care. I studied and researched everything I could find. I took classes, joined groups, met people, gleaned information, asked stupid questions and realized the more I learned, the more I loved it. I began to collect and use butters, oils (both common and exotic), herbs, teas, fruits, veggies, botanicals, extracts, milks, rice, oats, grains...you name it. I have acquired, from fabulous people who so generously shared, I have formulated, tested, tried and accumulated an amazing assortment of recipes. The results were so luxurious and as "gourmet" as anything prepared for a meal, that we just had to share and so The Southern Bee Soap House was born (originally called The Bar Room Soapery).
Come 'bee' a part of our journey and turn your bath, shower & skin care routine into an escape to a yummy, luscious, gourmet experience with all the richness, warmth and feel of the deep south.
