Dear Friends, Pixie Lovers, Magical Beings & Kindred Spirits...
Since 2002, I've been making soap - first in small batches for friends and family, then through The Soap Pixie, which I officially opened in 2006. For years, I poured my heart into each bar: blending colors, fragrances, and nourishing ingredients to bring comfort, beauty, and a little bit of handmade joy into people's homes, but something was missing.
Though I named my business The Soap Pixie, I hadn't embraced the full magic behind the name. There were no fluttering wings, no sparkling stories - just soap. For too long, I let the magic in my heart and mind sit quietly behind the scenes.
That's changing now.
Welcome to the reimagined world of The Soap Pixie - a place where whimsy meets wellness, and soap becomes a spell of joy, comfort, and delight. This isn't just a rebrand. It's a reclamation of who I truly am and what I want this business to be in the world and my life.
Let me introduce you to the heart of this transformation: Oona the Soap Pixie, the tiny enchantress behind each bar you hold and Poppy the Ladybug, her curious best friend and loyal helper.
These two characters aren't just cute additions - they're the soul of the brand. Oona's stories, her magical soap craft, and her joyful adventures with Poppy will now guide every product, post, and package. My goal is simple:
1. To make your everyday moments feel enchanted again.
2. To help you slow down, breathe in a beautiful scent, and smile.
3. To offer light in a world that too often feels heavy.
You'll begin to see the changes in a few ways:
* WISHING WELL WEDNESDAYS where you'll receive tiny doses of pixie magic, uplifting thoughts, or surprises.
* SOAP COLLECTIONS introduced by Oona & Poppy, complete with whimsical tales and behind-the-scenes magic.
* MAGICAL GIVEAWAYS designed to spark joy and enchantment.
And more surprises that will make you feel like a child discovering wonder again.
This is still me - the same hands making your soap, the same dedication to quality and creativity, but now I'm weaving in everything I've held back: the stories, the sparkles, the spirit of something truly magical.
I know not everyone will need this kind of enchantment in their lives. But if you're someone who longs for a little beauty, a little wonder, a little something beyond the ordinary... then Oona, Poppy, and I welcome you with open arms (and open wings).
Thank you for being part of this journey - from the very beginning or from this new chapter forward.
With soapy magic and heartfelt gratitude,
Michelle Valadez
