New Series: FAQ FRIDAY

 

New year, new things. I've been working on something special behind the scenes, and I'm happy to finally share it with you!
Starting next Friday, I'm beginning a brand‑new weekly series called FAQ FRIDAY — a cozy, educational corner of my page where I’ll answer your most common questions about my handmade soaps and my hand‑crocheted cotton soap savers.
Every Friday, you’ll see a new question featured, and I’ll share the answer in the caption — simple, honest, and straight from The Nest.
Here’s a peek at some of the questions coming your way:
🌿 “What makes your goat's milk soap different?”
        I’ll share why I use fresh goat’s milk and how it creates a creamy, nourishing lather.
🌿 “Is your soap good for sensitive skin?”
        I’ll talk about gentle oils, carefully selected add-ins, and why handmade soap is such a comfort.
🌿 “What is a soap saver, and how do I use it?”
        You’ll learn how my hand‑crocheted cotton pouches help your bars last longer.
🌿 "How do I care for my cotton soap saver?”
        I’ll walk you through simple washing and drying tips to keep it fresh.
And so many more.
My goal is to help you feel confident, informed, and inspired every time you choose a bar from The Robin’s Nest Soaps — whether it’s for your home, your skin, or a gift for someone you love.
👇 If you have a question you’d love to see featured, drop it in the comments.
See you next Friday for the very first FAQ FRIDAY. I'm excited for this new addition to The Nest! 🪺

Behind The Scenes


Here's a view from inside The Nest on this snowy day here in the beautiful Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania. It is cold outside, but The Nest is nice and warm with the wood pellet stove burning. It's a perfect day to cut some soap! This is a new recipe. Well, it's actually my same wonderful recipe...I just replaced the palm oil with beef tallow after reading about its benefits. I rendered some beef tallow earlier this year. So, I decided to experiment. I am excited to try it!

A View From The Nest


Our first significant amount of snow for the season. 
If it's going to be this cold, may as well have something beautiful to view!
