Serious Shortage of bath buddies

Choice of Pink, white or blue
We can no longer get hold of these amazing bath time buddies. We still have Ivory scrubby’s left but when we run out we may never be able to get them again. This is a big deal for those who remember the last bath scrubby shortage, it was a fiasco and some people did some mean things to get hold of their scrubby, you know you are. So you have been warned. 

 

Ivory bath scrubber: $5.99

Have a great summer and don’t you dare get out of bed without sunblock on!

Home made soaps in Tarpon Springs, Florida

Home made soaps have always fascinated us. Our family business has been at the Sponge Docks, Tarpon Springs, Florida since 1934. Our Great Grandfather started  the business when he bought himself a small boat and started Sponge diving. After all he was in Florida and loved the Sea. Sponge diving was his way to relax and unwind. Soon he bought a small store to sell his Sponge. For years he sold various bounty pulled direct from the sea. It was not until nearly 40 years later that we started importing Olive oil soap from Greece as it seemed work well with sponge.

What has always interested us as a family are products that are made by hand. More precisely “home made products”. We love folk art and crafts that have been essential to the development of civilization. My Grandfather was a master at making anything from whatever was available. Over what is getting on for 80 years we have always made all kinds of arts and crafts and have had the privilege of working with some incredible characters with amazing talents.

One of our favorite products at the moment is our homemade soap. We make it the same way soap has been made all over the world for hundreds of years. We make the soap in small batches using only the best ingredients; Olive oil, coconut oil, organic palm oil, essential oils to produce the finest scent from around the world.

There is something incredible about making something by hand the same way that our ancestors did. I totally recommend that you find yourself a project, maybe an everyday item and have a go at making it yourself. Go on give it a go. Best wishes GetaGuru.

The Perfect soap. basics

Why do so many people think that perfect skin is so complicated? Because it is a billion dollar industry? At getaguru  every day we are asked all kinds of technical questions about skin. 99% of the time the biggest hurdle is convincing someone, all soap is not created equal!

There are so many different types of products called soap, that real authentic soap needs a different name. Misleading marketing is probably the biggest enemy of your skin. A lot of people tell us they never use soap on their face but when asked what they mean by soap they really don’t know.

At getaguru we only make ” handmade, cold processed natural olive oil soap, in bar form”. This soap will clean your skin without causing damage or dryness and will be the most important part of your skin care regime. This description should be enough to make sure you get the right soap. However we see every word in this description misused all the time. We all know all the different ways consumers are deliberately mislead. It’s annoying to us and it’s very costly to the consumer.

At getaguru we try to put our product descriptions in plain simple language. We cannot stress enough that step one for perfect skin is get real soap. Good soap that is genuine. If you are at a store and the label on a cheap bar of soap reads”all pure and natural”, read the ingredients. It’s amazing how all natural soap can have a big list of chemicals that most people have never heard of.

Finally, please, save money use real soap and give your skin a good head start. You will be amazed.

There are a few products that can make your skin look great. Genuine natural handmade soap goes far beyond just looking good, especially when combined with real essential oils in a large enough quantity to have medicinal benefits. Get a guru…get a glow.
