Spring...please come soon!

With the winter weather in full swing this year (last year was quite mild), we are usually gearing up for our spring shows and our Art in the Open booth in Brampton for the summer - busy making loads of soap.  Unfortunately since we relocated to Hamilton this year, we will not be doing the usual Spring shows or Art in the Open (boo hoo).  We will be looking for venues more local and keep you posted.  The good news is that I heard the Made by Hand show is coming to the Hammer!

We are still making sake soap exclusively for the Ontario Spring Water Sake company so if you are ever in Toronto’s Distillery Historic District, stop by their brewery, pick up a soap and try some sake!

Pura Vida Spa...ahh! and the Ontario Spring Water Sake Company

Pura Vida Spa…ahh! is now exclusively making soap for the Ontario Spring Water Sake company.  Located in downtown Toronto in the historic distillery district, the Ontario Spring Water Sake company uses traditional Japanese methods to brew sake (rice wine).  One of the by-products of sake production is sake kasu.  Sake kasu contains kojic acid and may benefit your skin by slowing the ageing process, help even out skin tone and decrease your skin's ability to form the type of melanin found in age spots and freckles. 

You can find Sake kasu soap at the Ontario Spring Water Sake company  on 55 Mill Street, building 4, in Toronto – and while you are there, have some sake! Kampai!
