I've been absent from the soaping world entirely since I've moved here. No means to melt my oils right now (might need to steal a neighbor's microwave) and therefore there hasn't been much to write about. I did promise my readers lots of pictures of the area, so if you are interested, visit my Picasa album and take a looksy!
Also, I currently have half a bar of Michael Kitney's Lemongrass and Sage in my shower. Nomnomnom. Go check him out and read his blog My Planet Earth Soaps if you don't already know him. His creations are absolutely wonderful!

Briny arrives in Maine!
I arrived here in Bar Harbor last week and I've finally found free Wi-Fi on the island. I've eaten lots of lobster and have seen some really beautiful views!
Good news! Briny Bar Soap is now being sold in the town of Bar Harbor at A&B Naturals! The store supports local businesses and has a bunch of natural options, my kind of place.
Unfortunately, whipped salt scrubs and hair products did not make the trip. I was afraid the scrubs would melt and decided to just focus on soaping while I'm here. I think I'll enjoy the simplicity.
We are opening a new store on Storenvy, an online market place that does not charge listing or transaction fees. Look out for a coupon code on the Briny Bar Soap Facebook page to celebrate the launch! Be sure to visit the new store!

Briny Updates
First off, the Briny Etsy shop is currently having a moving sale! Just enter code MOVING at checkout and receive a whopping 30% off! Just in time for Mother's Day!
Secondly, SoapTravel made it to Germany after its stop in Pittsburgh and has already arrived in France. Annette from Das Seifenhaus chose my addition, Black Magic Banana. Read about Annette's decision in her blog post here.
Lastly, (kind of already said this, but) I am moving in a week. Where this time? Maine. I'll be working in Acadia National Park this season. Expect some really pretty pictures and not so much soap for a while. Not sure what the housing situation will be, but I am bringing most of my soap supplies with me. That is, whatever I can fit in my car among everything that I'll need to live for the next five months. I've done it before, from Minnesota to New Jersey to Wyoming. I've already decided not to bring my whipped salt scrubs. They would not be able to withstand the heat in my car during the trip. The scrubs are currently listed as 15% off on top of the moving sale, so buy 'em up!

New Listings and Sale Items
In the Field Neem Oil Soap has been listed on the Etsy, Lavender will be listed by the end of the day and the new shampoo bar will be there soon, as soon as I get it wrapped and figure out a name.
Soynut is listed as 50% off! Soynut is packed with skin loving goods- sweet almond oil, fair trade and wildcrafted, unrefined shea butter and macadamia nut butter plus soy milk for a silky texture and almond meal and walnut powder for a bit of scrub. One of my favorite bars to date, but would like to get rid of my current stock to make a batch with a new design. Each hunk is almost a whopping 5 ounces of pure handmade goodness for just $3.25. If you ever wanted to try a soap by Briny, or just want to try out a soy milk soap, this is the deal for you.
All salt scrubs are listed as 15% off. That's 8 fluid ounces for only $8.50! All of my scrubs are non-emulsified, contain an array of skin loving oils, butters, mineral-rich sea salt and pure essential oils. These scrubs are so moisturizing, lotion or other moisturizers are not needed after use. They are exfoliating and smell great, the perfect way to get your skin in shape for summer.
