Warm Sigh at SotLA

Brisbane City Council is once again putting on the fabulous Saviours of the Lost Arts with loads of crafty events, activities and workshops!


And of course wherever there's craft in Brisbane our fabulous members always make an appearance, we'll be bringing you all the latest news about which BrisStylettes are involved and in what capacity.


Kicking it off is BrisStylette Eliza from Warm Sigh who will be at SotLA making her beautifully scented handmade soap! This will be the first time Eliza has attempted soap making in public, and she will be available to answer any questions! In fact, if there's a question you would like to ask Eliza now feel free to leave a comment on this post!


All the fun and mess will be there; the oils, scents, even the lye, ready to be turned magically into soap in front of your eyes! But wait! There's more! As soap takes up to 6 weeks to cure, Eliza will have some that was made earlier for you to try and buy. Free samples will be available (while stocks last!)


Eliza has been making soap since she had her dairy goat farm 18 years ago. Recently Eliza, and Warm Sigh, have gone vegan, using no animal products at all to produce high quality, extra kind to the environment and your skin bar soap, liquid soap, shower gels and cream soaps.

So, if you have ever wondered how soap is made, come along and watch!

For all the details check out the SotLA guide here.

Twinkling Twilighters: WarmSigh!

Did you know that WarmSigh sells more than just soap? One of their most popular products would have to be their lovely, creamy, shower gel. Available in a variety of scents, there is something for everyone: sweet and fruity, pretty and floral and even some 'manly' ones for the boys! And to top it all off, all WarmSigh products are 100% vegan, no animal products are used at all!

A great deal of care is taken to create each bottle of WarmSigh shower gel.  The process goes a little bit like this:

1. Mix the lye (potassium hydroxide) and oils together and 'cook and stir' for 3 to 4 hours until your arm aches. The mixture will be very stiff by this stage. Coconut oil is the main oil used in WarmSigh liquid soaps. To make shower gel, the coconut oil is thickened using guar gum - a plant based thickener.

2. Once the cooking process has finished the mixture will be almost translucent. Water is then added and left to sit for 12 or more hours until the paste has totally dissolved into the water. You will be left with a thin, wonderfully foamy liquid soap!

3. The last step is scenting! WarmSigh uses essential oils or fragrant oils especially made for soap making.

To see the full range of WarmSigh products including soap, shower gel, liquid soap, baby bottom cream and face and body creams come along to the BrisStyle Indie Twilight Market on April 29.

Time: 5.00pm - 9.00pm
