Can you swap your soap bars around? 🧼🧼
Facial bars can double as bath bars, but they’re pricier—better for your face!
Using face or bath soaps as shampoo isn’t ideal: less castor oil means hair can get dry or tangled. #coldprocesssoap #skincare #shampoobar #soaptips #cleansingbar

Cold process shampoo bars can often be used as face or body soap too. 🫧
Formulas high in Castor oil add moisture and lather but make the bar softer, so it may wear down faster.
Whether you use it on face or body is really just personal preference. 💛 #shampoobar #coldprocesssoap #naturalsoap

We spent ages trying to get it to sit upright—turns out, balancing #beads is trickier than it looks. Even now, it’s got a bit of a hunchback vibe going on, but honestly… that just makes it more endearing. And sometimes the quirks are what make a piece special. #handmade #handmadewithlove

Built this chubby bunny #lantern for Mid-Autumn Festival! 🐇✨ When I was a kid, they had boxy bodies and tiny wheels—we dragged them around like pets. This round one came from a #DIY kit. Not what I remembered, but still totally adorable! 🎑💛 #midautumnfestival #moonfestival #handmadewithlove

Here’s a little French #bulldog we #beaded some time ago 🐾
It’s made with plastic #beads this time—usually, we’d use glass beads or darker tones, but somehow this version came out with a fun, cartoon-like vibe. Quite different from what we’re used to, but that’s part of the charm! #handmadewithlove

Maybe it's because we're "vintage" ourselves now, but our creations keep leaning towards the classics - framed purses, top handle bags, all reimagined as dainty earrings. Each pair is a tiny tribute to the elegance we still remember from the glamorous days gone by. #handmadewithlove #beadedjewelry
