Good Morning to you all.

I just want to take a moment to thank you all SO MUCH for your constant support of our

small family business. We are still getting orders either by phone or our soap buddies 

by my website. THANK YOU SO MUCH! 

I am trying my hardest to keep our website full, So far so good :-)

​When I think that I will not be able to get a certain butter or oil, it is back in stock. Such 

blessings. And I am aware of each time this happens. Many prayers are out to you all for 

your safety and patience until this is all over.

Just can't thank you all enough.. 

Please stay safe and we look forward to the day we can see you face to face.. 

Warmly 

Linda and Vic 

I just have to vent for a minute.

I am SO tired of the COVID19 !! 

I am a easy going person, it takes a lot to get me irritated and annoyed. 

HOWEVER,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, this crazy virus is effecting absolutely everything and everyone in a

huge way 

Not just the obvious ways, but the ways that make it hard to continue to make soap, 

I am really picky about the products that I use to make my soaps with, they have

to be the top of the line.. Yes, this is my choice. I am not going to compromise our

soaps because of a  inconvenience.

Some of the suppliers I have used for YEARS are on a 2 month waiting list JUST to get to

my order, the

reason is they are 1/4 of their staff to comply with the Social Distancing, and also to

keep things cleaner than usual. 

We are all in this together I know, however this is just horrible, I just want to see my

grandchildren !!!!!

Thank you for letting me vent.. 

I am sure there are MANY others that have it so much worse than I do.

Again, thank you for letting me vent   :-( 

I want to THANK and wish everyone a safe and happy Memorial day / weekend. 

This happens to be a special day for Vic and I. 

It is our wedding anniversary. 

I love him so much and I am so grateful for him. We make a good team in everything

we do together! How happy I am to be able to share my life with such a wonderful man.

THANK YOU VIC xoxo


ALSO,


Thanks' to all who have served and given the ultimate sacrifice. It enables us to have our

little business and walk freely , talk freely , believe freely, and love freely.

I hope we all honor their sacrifice by living and giving in the most honorable way 

possible. 

                                                THANK YOU!

TO all you local soap buddies,, WE ARE OPEN :-)

Renninger's Flea Melbourne Market has followed the local and Federal guidelines and are

following the Social Distancing to provide confidence in shopping.

Last Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Vic was there and had a blast!

He said it was awesome to see so many of our customers there to support our small family owned 

business. 

I want to personally thank you, SO MANY of you were incredibly generous and we  

appreciate it more  thank you will ever know.

WE are almost done with this INSANE COVID19 and look forward to having the only 

​concern is to make up our minds on what soap to get lol lol lol 

We love you all and THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Linda and Vic 

   

It has been quite some time in this social distancing that we are all having to do 

Vic and I are staying inside building our inventory and getting MORE than ready to go to work. 

I am sure everyone else is feeling the same way. 

I have missed some very personal events due to the present circumstance of the virus. 

My mom passed away  and Vic and I were not able to fly to the funeral, The bulk of the family in Utah

had a funeral, but it looked like only 15 people were attending, and that was because of the guidelines 

that they were instructed to follow. 

My family had a virtual funeral. The oldest grandchild of each of my siblings ( there are 10 ) spoke.

Only 4 spoke at the service and the other 6 spoke over ZOOM. I am incredibly thankful for the 

devices and knowledge to allow this to happen. I did ease the pain quite a bit. xoxo


I also missed my oldest granddaughters 16th Birthday as well as her baptism. This is so painful not

being able to be with family and get hugs from grandchildren and loved ones.

It has taken a toll on our small business but we truly appreciate any and all order that we have been

receiving from our web page. Thank you for all you effort to keep us afloat until this is over ,,

                                                          LET'S PRAY IT IS SOON!!  


   

what a crazy time we are all going through. Vic and I are so concerned with our families and loved ones

just like everyone else is. 

We have offered this amazing deal that enables both the customer and Vic and I to keep our Social 

Distancing. The mail is being picked up right at our home, outside so there is not contact with any other

human. 

It has been very successful and we appreciate everyone and their support of our small company xoxo 

Please all stay safe and we look forward to actually talking to you all in person. 

Take this time to enjoy your family, to rekindle the fire in your relationships by playing cards,playing in the 

yard , bike riding and all the other fun family activities. 

We will talk soon,,

                                        WE LOVE OUR SOAP BUDDIES SO MUCH !

I LOVE Thanksgiving so much, it is my favorite holiday, 
In saying that, there is a reason I am mentioning this.
​I went to breakfast with my accountant  (AUG) and in the side of the store was a Christmas tree ALREADY UP !!!

I love the holidays just like anyone else, however I will not picture any of my Christmas products until Thanksgiving is over. 
I am getting LARGE amounts of orders and I am fine with that. But I am just letting you know what we are doing as a company.. 

Have a great rest of the summer xoxo 

I am pretty pumped to finally have my castile soap ready.. It has been curing for such a long time

if done properly , it will be one of the most luxurious bars that you will use. I am so proud of my soap!

I 'flavored" it with the oils and spices influenced by the original HOMELAND of the castile soap, SPAIN.

I only offer it online due to the limited quantities that are available. Grab some before they are gone. 

Thanks,,  HAPPY MOTHERS DAY !!!!!!!! 

                            Made with 100% pure Olive oil ,,,, Nothing else :-) 

I can't even believe how quickly time is moving !
I know I say this often when I BLOG, however it is so true. 

Mother's day is next weekend and I have many bars of soap and or candles just for your mom , wife , sister, Aunt, Teacher , ,,,, 
Well,  you get the idea lol lol 

If it is a floral type of soap you like there is Lilac, Lavender, Jasmine , Gardenia and Rose. IF you are looking for more of a tropical smelling bar you prefer,  we have Coconut Lime, Coconut Kiwi, Coconut Lemongrass , there are of course others that just smell that good !
Oh, don't forget the food type. Pomegranate mango , cucumber and others. 

The candles Vic makes are a wide variety of fun smelling gifts as well. He has made some that smell just like a spa, I just love them. Sea Mist, Black Sea Spray, Orchid Orchard and many others. They are amazing !! 
Personally I just love the Orange blossom and the Hot Apple Pie. Even though the hot apple pie is more of a Autumn scent. I can never get enough of it yumminess. I don't even like to eat pies, the smell is a whole different story hee hee hee

We hope to see you and one of our venues soon. 
Thanks again !!

BOY is it hot already. 
Summer just shows up one day with a heat wave and it does not go away.    DRATS lol lol
I was enjoying spring SO MUCH, all my flowers are blooming and the yard is all so new. I love it.

It's not that I do not  enjoy summer, it is just SO HOT ,, let's hope it is a mild summer with no hurricanes  anywhere. If there has to be a nasty storm, let it be out in the ocean and just come apart before it hits any land. Perfect world right ?    I just hate hearing about the ugly of those storms.. 

On a happier note,, I have been working hard to keep the website fully stocked. I know I have a few that is out of stock, but they are curing and will be ready shortly..

Thanks to all our awesome soap buddies and your support of our small family company.. We love what we do because of you all !!!

See you all at the markets !
​~~ linda 

I mentioned a few months earlier that our Camel Milk line had come out. I have to tell you, I absolutely cannot keep it in stock. I am trying lol lol lol

So this is a " I'm trying my best " blog . 

I hope you are able to get a bar. Vic posts on our FB when they are ready, as a matter of fact the Frankincense Myrrh and Pine will be ready this week. YEAH !!
Thank you so much for your understanding. 
Pictured below is patience.  
​~~ linda  

Yup , already spring has sprung. 

This by far has been one of the fastest years to me. Time is just zooming and as much as I try to make the most of each day ( and I really try ) there is just not enough time in each day. 
I wonder why that is................

Our oldest granddaughter is turning 15 this year , I cannot even believe this. It truly is such a blessing having our grandchildren and they are just little for such a short time. 
Speaking of grandchildren. My 2 daughters and my daughter-in-law were expecting at the same time and I can remember that in great detail. Well, this is the year they are all turning 6. WHAT ?????????? 
NO WAY !!!
Precious angels they all are.. 

Speaking of spring, Mothers Day, Easter, Fathers Day just to name a few are right around the corner. I have many special gifts for that special loved one in all of our lives. 
We just love to see you all and enjoy watching all your beautiful families grow as well :-)
Looking forward to seeing you all

This was taken 3  years ago, so missing our CABOOSE baby.. 
A lot of love in this picture xoxoxo

Hello Stranger lol lol
I realize I am horrible at blogging hee hee
I have all these awesome things that happen with our company, families, markets etc. I keep thinking I need to write about this. As you can see I just never make it to the computer.

I had a few ladies contact me and say,,, "Linda what is going on with your blog? We miss your little comments." Quite honestly I did not think anyone read these. 
SO thank you to those who take the time to read my simple ramblings.

I have a new item we are working on and trying them out at the local markets. Scented beads.
Vic had them at Pelican Beach park yesterday and WOW, they were a huge success.

Honestly they are perfect for your college student , work area, closet , car or should I say anywhere your would like to "fix the smell " but cannot burn a candle.  
  
We are so excited to have these added to our line of good smelling stuffs lol lol
I plan on having them available on the website soon.    YEAH !!
Till then have a awesome day xoxo

I love Valentines Day.. It brings out such cute couples , old and new , and their stories of how they met and some of their favorite dates, family stories, and much more. 

Vic and I are very blessed to be able to have such a great repore with our soap buddies that we feel that they are just extended family. 

What a special holiday for us here at Simply Mazzara's. Not only to be apart of your very special gift giving but to build such great friendships locally and out of state as well. 
Each year we have quite a few vacationers that make it a special day for us when they make it to one of our markets pick up their order , most call in earlier to be able to get their yearly soap. And then to correspond with them throughout the year for their gift giving needs. 
How humbled we are to be a part of such a beautiful process.

                                       THANK YOU ALL !!
​ 
Looking forward to seeing you all at the markets to hear your stories and see your awesome families!!
