T and J Soaps Large variety of artisan soaps, body products, bath bombs, candles, local fine art & crafts. WHAT MAKES YOUR BUSINESS UNIQUE? Including my old students.

We are a small boutique, in historic Troy, NY, that specializes in artisan cold process soaps. Our soaps are made from scratch, in small controlled batches, using only the highest quality ingredients. Treat yourself to a bar today and see why cold process soaps are a wonderful cleanser for any type of skin. Have fun browsing our large variety of traditionally made soaps, soy candles, lotions, and other goodies. While I use traditional methods to create my body products, I add a modern twist by incorporating different types of fragrances and colorants. You will find a wide range of fragrances- from traditional lavender & oatmeal to more "pop" scents like ginger ale, cotton candy & oatmeal stout. I use natural ingredients like turmeric, clay, parsley, activated bamboo charcoal & beet root to color my soaps. All of these are thought to have additional skin benefits. My soaps are luxurious, but affordable. They are healthy- I use only high quality ingredients- all of which are paraben & sulfate free. Tested only on friends & family most of my products can be considered 100% natural. Made in small controlled batches, customers often enjoy coming in my shop & watching me make my products. I love seeing the joy on their faces when they get excited about different fragrances. I also carry fine art & crafts by local artists. This allows me to support my community & bring more beauty to the world. WHAT'S THE BEST BUSINESS ADVICE YOU'VE RECEIVED? I have been lucky to be surrounded with many people in believe in me. They are a lot of my drive and motivation as I want to show them that you can be successful in whatever you choose to do! I was told early on to surround myself with those who believe in you. Sometimes when people see your success they will try and be negative to make themselves feel better. Don't listen to them! I am a teacher at heart and I KNOW we learn the best from experience. Even if something doesn't work out quite right- you still learn from it. Don't give up and don't give in.

🖤✨ This kitchen witch has been BUSY. ✨🖤

Between brewing up soap, stirring sugar scrubs, pouring candles, and generally making a magical little mess, we’ve been creating our Witches Brew collection. I've always said self-care should feel a little bit magical. However sometimes I give chaos goblin energy this time of year because I'm in the thick of making holiday inventory. I'm sure Jennie would agree.

Our Witches Brew scent starts with bright notes of bergamot, lemon, cucumber water, violet, and jasmine, then settles into deeper notes of cashmere, musk, and sap. Clean, mysterious, earthy, and just a little spellbinding.

Some of these goodies are available all year because we believe in keeping the magic going. Others are special for the fall season.

🔮 Witches Brew soap bars.
🔮 Our popular Witches Brew sugar scrub. Made with charcoal and topped with a sprinkle of Eco-Glitter.
🔮 Reusable cauldron candles in mugs & metal vessels
🔮 Reusable skull mug candles. We made some with pumpkin spice and spiced apple c***r too.

Everything is handmade in small batches by your friendly neighborhood witch, one pour, stir, sprinkle, and spell at a time.

Come get your witchy self-care supplies before the cauldron is empty. 🖤

🍂 Welcome, Fall! 🍂

Today marks the Autumn Equinox. It's a beautiful moment of balance, when day & night meet as equals & we begin our slow descent into the darker, cozier half of the year.

Blessed Equinox, friends. May this season bring you warmth, abundance, a little magic, & the reminder that there is beauty in letting go & making room for what comes next.

And just in time for the changing season, we have two limited edition wax melts ready to fill your home with fall goodness:

🍎 Spiced Apple C***r & 🍺 Oatmeal Stout

We have the coolest new wax melters in the shop too!

The leaves are turning, the mornings are crisp, & fall has officially arrived. Let the cozy season begin. I'll try to get these listed online tonight or tomorrow. ✨

It’s that magical in-between time of year when summer isn’t quite gone, but fall is starting to make its presence known.

The mornings are slightly chilly, the evenings are still warm. The trees are just beginning to show little hints of what’s to come.

And right on cue, our Apple C***r & Pumpkin Spice soaps are ready! 🍎🎃

These are two of our favorite scents for this little seasonal transition. They are warm, cozy, spicy & perfectly autumnal, even if we’re not quite ready to say goodbye to summer yet.

Our other seasonal faves, Witches Brew & Plum Tea are ready as well.

🍂 The First Acorn of Fall 🍂

If you've ever walked with me in the fall I've probably told you about old folk magic that surrounded acorns. One old folk spell says the first fallen acorn you notice each autumn carries quite a bit of seasonal magic. Keep a whole acorn in your pocket, purse, or wherever you keep your money through the winter, and it is said to invite luck, prosperity, and protection from negativity. Bonus points is you can keep it with a gold or green coin (doesn't need to be real). Make sure to thank the oak tree for it's sweet little gift.

When spring arrives, return the acorn back to an oak tree, or bury in the ground as a thank you for the tree’s gift. 🌳

The acorn carries another little lesson. It teaches patience. That strength is built over seasons, and that even the tiniest beginnings can hold the promise of something great. From this little acorn comes a beautiful, mighty oak.

We took a little inspiration from this tradition and made some cute little acorn candles. Each container holds about 2 ounces of wax.

These acorns are handmade and filled with gmo-free soy wax and made with a fragrance called Cashmere. It's a soft, warm, cozy fragrance made for crisp autumn evenings. Each is made in a little reusable clay container. Just wash with warm water when down burning to keep your little magical trinkets in.

These little beauties are going faster than I thought. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. I only have 8 left.
