simply. is nuts for Pistachio!

A new eco-store is opening in Toronto, and it's called Pistachio.

They chose to feature simply. soaps in their grand opening gift bags - so fingers crossed you'll see my soaps in their stores soon!

If you happen to wander in - ask them where you can find your favourite bars and butters... Or just buy them on my etsy site - it's almost done!!

Anywhere else you'd like to pick up my products let me know (and tell them, too!) It doesn't seem fair to keep such a good thing to ourselves!

FSC certified labels!

I am very pleased to announce that I have started working with a new printer in Toronto - Taylor Labels - who have Forest Stewardship Council(FSC) certified labels.

This means that the paper used is independently certified to assure consumers that they come from forests that are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations. And the adhesives are recycling compatible, so if you don't have a chance to return your box for re-use, you can feel good knowing it won't gum up the recycling plant!

This is such an exciting step for me, and I would like to thank Lloyd for buying my soap at Grassroots and suggesting that we work together to bring my company one step closer to being the cleanest, greenest soap on the market!

My Etsy Site

I am working on getting my soaps onto my etsy site for all of the wonderful customers who supported simply. at the Newmarket Farmers Market all summer!

My mom loves being there every Saturday morning, and is looking forward to the big christmas market in December.

You still have time to pick up a few bars from her before the market ends for the season, but don't worry - you can always get more by shopping online!

Lather up at the Toronto Yoga Festival

Simply. is pleased to be contributing our soaps to the Toronto Yoga Festival ! The gals at 889 Yonge (889yonge.com) are working hard to "green" the event. Locally made, organic handsoaps were on their list - so all the fortunate festival participants get to try out simply. soaps (and avoid that weird liquid in the dispenser) during their 3-days of blissing out!

I am especially excited about this because I will be there, too!

It really makes me happy that grassroots efforts like this are taking place. Too often the option to support 'local' and 'eco' is bypassed because people say it's not relevant. But this is not true - we are all connected on so many levels, and the land we share is just a part of that. The communities we are a part of are integral to bringing about change. Through sharing our beliefs and passions we build strength and then anything is possible!
