Q. Could you tell us a little about yourself?
Hello there! I’m Kate. I am an artist, a doula, a businesswoman, and a bath enthusiast. I live in a colorful apartment in Vermont with my sweetie and my badass brown cat named Twyla Sharp. I might have more clothes in my dress-up bin than in my closet. I like hammocks, dance parties, having friends as neighbors, crepes, & hot toddies.
Q. How did you begin making bath bombs?
Last year about this time, I was on the hunt for handmade gift ideas for family & friends. I would usually default to my trusty sewing machine, but had been doing a lot of sewing for work and wanted a new and exciting project. I stumbled on a bath bomb recipe online and it seemed perfect –something fun and sensual to make, that people would not usually make or buy for themselves. I worked on perfecting my recipe, and the rest just kind of fell into place. I listed a single bath bomb on etsy right before leaving for a New Year’s Eve party, and when I checked my email in the morning it had sold! I figured that was a sign to keep going, and it’s been a very smell-good year!
