Kelly - Simple Life Mom

About Kelly

My name is Kelly Cable, and I'm the author of The Natural Soap Making Book for Beginners and Easy Soap Making. I also have bath and body, as well as other soap making books in my Etsy shop. I have been sharing soap and shampoo bar recipes as Simple Life Mom for many years. I also share recipes and tips for other bath and body products like tooth paste, hair gel, makeup, as well as real food recipes, herbal remedies, gardening and pretty much anything else around the home. Because, let's face it, products are full of toxins these days and there are healthy alternatives that we can learn how to make.
