bath and body bergamot bergamote body butter canada dot and lil fall handcrafted handmade lavande lavender lily of the valley moisturizer montreal muguet satsuma

Over the past few weeks body butters have been the best-sellers at any show I've done. I guess it's the change in weather in this lovely cold country of ours, but people seem to be loving the rich moisture and skin protective qualities of Dot & Lil body butter at this time of year!

Our body butter is anhydrous, meaning it contains no water, allowing me to formulate it without a preservative. It...

There's always a lot of curiosity about how Dot & Lil products are made. So, every once in a while you'll get a new post with lots of detailed pics that show you exactly how a Dot & Lil product is made.

chocolate dot and lil handcrafted soap handmade montreal satsuma sugar and spice valentine's day

Over the holidays we carried three limited editions:

Satsuma, which as of my last blog post has become a permanent member of the Dot & Lil family.
Sugar & Spice, which will come back as a limited edition holiday scent next year.
And lastly, Chocolate, which sold out twice and which I am still being asked for!

So here's the deal. Chocolate is going to make an ever so brief comeback. I decided that in...

bath truffles body butter dot and lil handcrafted handmade bath and beauty products montreal satsuma soap

If you take a close look next time you buy a bar of Dot & Lil Satsuma soap, you'll notice that "Limited Edition" no longer appears on either side of the scent name. That's because, due to popular demand, Dot & Lil Satsuma Soap is here to stay!

This scent was overwhelmingly popular this holiday season. Not only that but I am also personally kinda obsessed with it, as mentioned in a few prior posts....

bath truffles handcrafted honeysuckle limited edition luxurious satsuma

Dot & Lil bath truffles fizz away when you plop them in the tub. They make the water feel silky on your skin and between your fingers. And they are so moisturizing that you won't need cream or body butter afterwards. Packed with luxury ingredients like shea butter, mango butter, vitamin e, kaolin clay and avocado oil. These little foil wrapped cocao butter truffles pull out all the stops. You...

christmas coriander dot and lil handcrafted lemongrass montreal satsuma scent washroom

Sometimes, when I have guests over and they excuse themselves to use my washroom, i hear a giggle or a laugh once they turn the light on. This is because of the "situation" around my bathroom sink...I find it a little difficult to choose just one bar of soap to use at a time, and so there are usually ten or so scattered about on various plates or soap dishes.

Especially at this time of year when I...

children's soap dot and lil handcrafted handmade bath and beauty products montreal motivation satsuma

Soap to the right, soap to the left, soap everywhere. Give me a few more days of producing at this rate and there will no longer be any free surfaces in my apartment. And I'm loving it! I have been cooped up making soap and listening to cheesy music since Friday. Unfortunately, I have to get back to the real world tomorrow morning. But I really am loving this return to soaping, to creating, to...
