  • We did some hiking in Maine last Fall and I was so inspired by all the pretty colors of nature that I decided to make 100% natural soap and try to incorporate some of the colors I saw into a soap bar! Enjoy! 😉

    Mary, I just love your purity. You love nature, and you did an unbelievably great job of capturing what your eyes saw on your hike. I have to say that some of that beautiful wildlife almost brought me to tears! I can't imagine how you felt seeing all of that beauty in person! Thank you for sharing with us! And I did love the peace of watching the soap making!

    Mary, I didn't think your videos could get any better. I just love this video so much. I am from the White Mountains of NH. I have lived here for 36 years and am still in amazement of the beauty and wildlife. I found you a couple of months ago and you have inspired me more than I can describe. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos which are not only educational but so calming.

    I think God has given you that inspiration about the colors of soap being in our natural surroundings. No wonder you are "inspired" by his creation!

    Sheila McDade in Chattanooga here . . . Thanks for sharing your hiking trip! Your long braid was so pretty. You and your husband must really be in good shape to hike on such a rocky mountain. Do you still walk every afternoon down your lane at home? It takes discipline to get out there daily in the winter!
