Hi Everyone! I'm very honoured to once again be a participant in this awesome swap. My name is Leanna Hutchinson and I live in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. I have a tiny soap and toiletry company called Herbal MmmPressions and have been making bath and body products for about 4 years now. My "Inspiration" for this swap was to create a most decadent soap without using animal products. Even though I love my tallows, I think I've succeeded in making a nice hard long-lasting bar with tons of bubbles and most importantly, a luxurious creamy lather that leaves your skin silky smooth. I just love this craft! The possibilities are endless! Enjoy.
