Interviews

I’m so excited to share today’s interview with you: I had the pleasure to chat with Belinda from Love Your Suds. Belinda is a talented soap maker and a small business owner. She’s also a very active member in the soap making community, always generous with encouragement and advice.

If you’re a soap maker that likes to hang out on Instagram (like I do) you’ve likely seen her soaps before, they’re kinda hard to miss 😉
Her landscape soaps especially are very unique: carefully designed with great attention to detail and perfectly executed. I can’t wait to find out more about Belinda and her creative approach to soap making.

So, without further ado: let’s dive right in, shall we?

One of the coolest things that I get to do through this little blog is to meet and get to know fellow soapmakers and bath/body crafters from around the globe.  This is how I happened to meet Diane from Seifen im Glück a very talented soapmaker from Austria (yes, a fellow native German speaker just like myself).

I first saw Diane’s soaps on Instagram and was so amazed that I just had to find out more about her. Diane has a blog where she shares beautiful photos of her soaps, her recipes, and always a little story behind the soap. Best of all, she translates all her posts into English – yay! – it’s such a delight to read and look at! Now, what does “Seifen im Glück” mean? Hmm, the best translation would probably be: Soaps in Bliss. When you see the photos of these beauties, you will understand where the name came from.

Diane brings so much creativity and curiosity to her soapmaking. I simply couldn’t wait to bring her on the blog so that we could geek out about soapmaking together. A number of times, while I was reading through her answers, I nodded my head and thought: “Yes, that’s me :)”.

If you’re passionate about soapmaking, you’ll love this interview.

So, let’s dive in, shall we?
