Welcome

Friends! I am delighted to share this very special RB Soap Co. holiday 2020 preview in anticipation for my December 1st shop launch. Inevitable stressors aside, I've always imagined the excitement one must feel running a small product-based business around the Christmas holiday. And here I am swimming in literal boxes, bags, and bows. It feels quite festive! I'm really pinching myself.

I'm also pinching myself that this launch will be my fourth of 2020. A year ago I hadn't yet launched my shop and was uncharacteristically nervous that opening a shop online would be a poor business decision. Being in a season where I was grieving the end of an almost-decade long career of wedding planning, starting something very new and different, and then added to that, embarking on seven months of work with no child care (more on that later), it felt reckless. HA! But here I am. I feel like I'm thriving.

Emotions aside, I want to share as much as I can about this upcoming launch so whether you're a loyal patron or new customer, you can prepare to make your list and check it twice! I have many special products up for grabs on Tuesday and details worth noting about the bars I've created, packaging choices I selected for the holidays, and much more (like international shipping finally!). Read on for more below and in the very least, enjoy the beautiful preview images from my friend Kelly Sweet Photography.

I'm currently writing this blog post from sunny New Orleans where I'm honored to serve as a speaker for the third time at The School of Styling. I greatly understand the work that goes into planning and executing a multi-day event so to be on the front-end of this experience is not only a pleasant and enjoyable experience but an honor I hold with high regard.

My presentation on Thursday is covering all things flat lay styling. This type of styling has be a critical part of my past work as a wedding planner and designer, and will continue to be crucial in my role as a floral designer. But more than that, my styling experience continues to be an asset with RB Soap Co. and other creative endeavors that fill my schedule and contribute towards my revenue (e.g. styling colleague's stationery, executing bridal editorials, and speaking at workshops like this week here at TSOS!).
