Me and My Job
LAURA'S SOAPS By Laura Harkins My name is Laura Harkins and I have been making soaps for about 2 years now. My Mum Jenny helps me with ordering and sourcing ingredients and she helps me with labels and adding new products and also helps me at the Markets. I love making different soaps and using the many beautiful fragrances which are available. I like to use products which are sourced and produced as naturally as possible and my ingredients are purchased from New Zealand companies. I also work on a Monday and Wednesday at AllFit gym in Beachlands and I make my soaps when I have spare time during the week and weekends in between my work and swim training. I have made many soaps to order especially when someone wants a particular fragrance in a soap. I have sent my soaps all over NZ and many countries overseas. Recently I did a big order of soaps for The Baby Bag for a fundraiser for Plunket.

My Mum and I are constantly sourcing new fragrances to add to my soap products. My soaps are popular gifts for Teachers, Mums, Grandmas, Aunties, Cousins, Friends, Uncles and Grandads and of course yourself because you are worth it! Recently, I have added to my products with Wax Wraps and Bath Salts in different fragrances and Shaving Soaps in tins. I enjoy making my soaps very much, it keeps me busy and people who buy them tell me that they enjoy using them and giving them as presents to their friends and family, which makes me feel good. I have had stands at Clevedon Market, Buddy Walk and the Illuminate Night Market. All soaps weigh 100 grams and are $6.00 each plus postage I can make up gift boxes for an extra cost. The best way to order is through my email address - harkins.lauraruth@gmail.com Instagram - laurassoaps
