Hi there! I’m Elizabeth (or just Liz), co-founder of Artesana Soaps. If we haven’t met yet, welcome—I’m so glad you’re here! My mother-in-law, Cecilia, and I started this business with a passion for creating high-quality, handmade bath and body products that nourish your skin and bring a little joy to your self-care routine. Beyond soapmaking, I’m a mom, a small business owner, and someone who’s always looking for ways to grow—both personally and professionally.
I hope you had a wonderful spring break—if you've already had yours! We took some much-needed time off to relax, recharge, and enjoy quality moments with family. I'm realizing just how important it is to slow down occasionally, unplug (I had no access to WiFi or the internet for five amazing days!), and truly be present with the people I love.
This time of reflection has led me to think about the power of small changes in improving overall well-being—physically, mentally, spiritually, and socially. I’m determined to start making small, intentional shifts every day to grow both personally and in business. Simple things, like getting out of bed just a little earlier each morning or moving my body more—maybe starting a daily walk—can make a big difference over time. These are just a couple of my personal goals; I won’t share them all here, but you get the idea!
One of the biggest changes I’m committing to? Starting a monthly blog—which you're reading right now—so I’m already on my way! But I don’t want this to be a one-way conversation. I want to hear from YOU! What topics do you want to learn more about? Are there products we make that you absolutely love and want to know more about? Do you have any questions about skincare, ingredients, or self-care in general?
Drop a comment or send me a message—I’d love to chat!
As I reflect on these small, meaningful changes, I can’t help but think about how this applies to skincare as well. Just like the little habits we build each day shape our overall health, the choices we make about what we put on our skin add up over time. Every time you choose a product made with natural, skin-loving ingredients, you're making a small but powerful decision for your well-being. Over time, these choices nourish, protect, and care for your skin—just as healthy habits nourish the rest of your life.
As James Clear says in his book- Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Habits & Break Bad Ones, “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.” Choosing handmade, thoughtfully crafted skincare is a vote for self-care, for supporting small businesses, and for treating your skin with the kindness it deserves.
So let’s make small, intentional choices together—whether it’s starting a new habit, carving out time for self-care, or switching to products that truly nurture your skin. I can’t wait to dive into all things bath, body, and skincare with you—because taking care of yourself should always be a priority!
