If you popped into Formulary 55 sometime last month to shop, you were greeted with our "moving" message. So sorry to have missed you, but you should have gotten a code to save 25% off if you came back....so happy to see you have! That code is "COLORADO" and it saves you 25% off of everything except monthly subscriptions. Code expires this Thursday.
Park Soap is simply the most natural line of soap you can find. Made for the bathing purist with the highest of standards. These generously sized soaps are carefully handmade in the traditional cold process method in small batches. Only the highest quality, organic and sustainable oils are used. No synthetic fragrances, dyes, sodium laureth sulfates or parabens are ever included. I met the owner of Park Soap at the New York Stationery Show this last spring and was instantly taken with these chunky botanical soaps. If you love naturally pure and subtly scented soaps, this is the brand for you.
It's September and everyone is excited for fall, and sweaters, and pumpkin lattes, but it is still summer here in Pueblo...so I'm hanging on for a bit longer. Pueblo is on a list of US cities with the lowest humidity, meaning moisturizer has become my new best friend. My standbys are French Girl's Organic Body Oil, Oille Natural Facial Serum, and NYR's Frankincense Hydrating Facial Mist. Mid-day mists have made a HUGE difference in my skin, thanks to skin care guru, Jordan Samuel who gave me that little tip. If you are in Seattle, go get a facial from him. You will see results after one treatment. A couple of other products I have not been able to live without this summer are Schmidt's Natural Deodorants, and of course, our soaps. Summer Solstice being my personal favorite. It is a 100% essential oil blend and very refreshing. I also like the way it makes my entire bathroom smell fresh...like a bonus benefit.
We made it to Colorado and the adventure begins!
The road trip down was absolutely beautiful. Normally, the drive from Seattle to Pueblo takes about 24 hours, but we took a longer scenic route which took us 5 days and through Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Western Colorado. The picture above I took at the Idaho/Montana border. The air in that exact spot smelled amazing. Natures perfume at its best.
Marble & Milkweed products are made by hand and with great love, in New York City. Designed to simplify the way you care for yourself, all products are formulated almost exclusively using organic and fair-trade ingredients. They are gentle and contain no harsh chemicals or artificial scents. We chose to sell these products at Formulary 55 because they are simply packaged, and delicately, yet complexly scented. Briar, the master maker's, past life as a pastry chef really shines through. Our top selling item from her collection is the Cardamom Body Butter. My favorite however is hands down the Bath Nectar.
