I was five when Star Wars: a New Hope was released. I saw it weeks before my older brother, because he had the chicken pox. He has never forgiven me. But it began my long love of science fiction, fantasy...geekery. I was the weird girl in high school reading Tolkien and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
I went through entirely too many years of school, and am now a cognitive neuroscientist by trade, and geek inspired bathery operator by choice. I began making products for all my geeky friends- a love like Morticia and Gomez was one of my first experiments in bath bombs, and Longing for Gallifrey was inspired both by the time lord and a lovely British tea my friend shared with me several years ago, and we both decided it must be a bath product! It took a lot of experimentation (but hey, with a degree in neuroscience, I KNOW how to experiment---it was weird to do so without poking brain meat though!), but a perfect fizzy bath bomb was found, the right balance of salt to oil, and scents that made us think of all our favorite obsessions began to take form.
As geekery has become popular, it is a joy to see all of the ways it is expressed, and embraced. For those of us who lived through less fun times when we wanted to play Dungeons and Dragons instead of (or at least in addition to) volleyball, this is a fun time. You are my people, and I want to bring you products that make you smile as they bring to mind lovely stories read, fantasies indulged in, and stories fallen into. Whether books, comics, movies, Cons you have been to, Cosplays you have invested your heart and soul in, and yes, TV shows that capture our imaginations (I miss Firefly- or I would if I did not watch it repeatedly on Netflix!).
While our mission is to serve our fellow geek bath needs, we want to do it responsibly- so we use all vegan, organic ingredients. We use recycled, recyclable and refillable packing as much as possible. Even our shipping materials are recycled paper and cardboard! Not everything is "green" quite yet, but we are working on it, and hope to find good, green options for everything along the way. We live in a special world, a bright blue marble, but even if we manage to figure out how to travel to a new one, we think we should take care of the one we have for ourselves, our future generations...and the critters we share it with (including the dark lord Cthulhu, because frankly he scares me a little and I don't want to anger him!).
The shop has begun with a few products, but it will grow with your support. We love to hear from you. Got an obsession we don't have a product for yet? Just ask, and we can come up with something lovely (or very very manly...or non gender binary- whatever your preference). As the captain of this enterprise, I will MAKE IT SO! Thank you for dropping by- come back again soon!
