Spring Has Sprung!

Welcome to spring, everyone!

It has already been a hell of a year- we survived TWO potential TikTok bans, illness, and injury. In fact, not only did we survive despite all the chaos. We managed to expand on the fantastic content and products that you all know and love.

Speaking of expanding content- are you aware that Birds of Valhalla is now live every day of the week? Check out the schedule below!

Now let's review the new soaps and products made since the start of the year!

TikTok Soap- Rain Water, Black Cherry Merlot, and Red Ginger Saffron

A Collaboration with Birds of Valhalla and their followers

This soap was made the Thursday night before TikTok was first set to be banned (January 19th) as an au revoir to our TikTok community. Birds of Valhalla has almost 500K followers on the main channel alone, and we appreciate every single one of you. To celebrate our community, we decided to make a bar of soap the way we used to... with your involvement. Because Birds of Valhalla wouldn't be here without every one of you!

That Thursday during the live, we let YOU guys choose the scents used for this soap. Concurrently, we even had a bunch of you come onto the live and talk with us as we made it! 

It was a fun, yet somber night as we counted down the minutes to what we thought would be an imminent shutdown of the account...which evidently didn't happen! However, we have some of these bars left over, and if you want a memorable bar commemorating the chaos of that night (and one that smells EXTRORDINARILY good), grab a soap before we officially sell out!

Winter/Spring Florals

Not only did we make Winter Florals this year, but we also just released our Spring Florals! I am not going to spend too much time speaking about our Winter version, as we only have one bar left! But our just-released Spring version is scented with: Lilac, Strawberry, Guava, Frankincense, Neroli, Honeysuckle, Orange Blossom, Gardenia, Tuberose, Magnolia, Peony, Lily of the Valley, Botanical Bliss, Jasmine, Awaken, and Ray of Sunshine! It's the floral combo you know and love, combined with fruity goodness to signal the start of warmer weather!

However, the Multi-Florals change every season! So every version is unique and, consequently, unlikely to be repeated. Get yours now! 

St. Patrick's Day Soap- Kentucky Bourbon, Oakmoss, Amber, & Lime

We technically don't have any more of these limited soap bars left- as you guys bought the entire lot before they even finished curing! However, we have some mini-versions available! And many of them even have the crisp juniper clover embeds! Comparatively, they are approximately 2oz smaller than the original bars- but smell just as good !

You all seemed to love this soap. Do you think we should bring it back? Should we rename it to have a Celtic-sounding name, and have it in stock all year? Drop your name ideas and opinions in the comments!

Spring Seasonal Total Anarchy Soap- Carrot, Turmeric, & Honey

If you are reading this blog post, you still have enough time to order a Spring favorite! This soap is LOADED with all kinds of skin-loving ingredients. Dr. Papantoniou from Simply Dermatology provides instructions on how to create a carrot face mask- since carrots can potentially help with hydration, brightening. They also contain antioxidants.

Turmeric is also a fantastic ingredient- with people claiming that it can enhance skin glow, even out skin tone, and potentially help with acne! This Verywell Health article highlights how turmeric soap may lead to healthier skin.

Of course, my favorite ingredient in this soap is the Tupelo Honey. INCIDecoder refers to an article from the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology that argues that honey is the oldest skincare ingredient. I bet it's because it has a history of having great benefits! Those benefits may include: moisturizing, soothing, and antibacterial properties. 

This soap is also coconut-free for those of you with allergies!

And as the cherry on top, Total Anarchy is stamped with a maniacal rabbit looking to cause some trouble, perfect for Easter!

Ostara Spring Bunny Hand Soap

Neon Rainbow Pride Soap- Somali Soul, Sandalwood, & Lemongrass

We decided we needed to celebrate Pride early this year. A unique combination of lemongrass and real sandalwood offers a bright, citrusy, and woodsy experience. Mixed with the magical blend of effervescent grapes, soft rose and geranium, vibrant patchouli, zesty orange and lime, and warm musk will envelop you in a comforting, heavenly aroma. Splash your senses with this explosive, otherworldly scent!

It's popping neon colors also offer a very BOV take on the pride flag. It is also coconut-free!

What wasn't as amazing was the fact that TikTok tried to ban us from lives for a week for "hate-speech".

As we made a Pride Soap.

Celebrating Pride.

With literal non-hetero staff and followers in attendance.

Fortunately, we appeared and won within 24 hours...however, the whole experience left a bitter taste in our mouths. Which explains why this next soap exists. 

TransScented Soap- Midnight Pomegranate, Transformation, & Dragon's Blood

After almost being banned from lives for a week, Birds of Valhalla decided to double down. May I present to you the fresh, floral, and of course fruity ~wink wink~ TransScented Soap. It's pastel pink, blue, and yellow coloring, along with it's silver unicorn stamp, will hopefully be a complementary addition to our limited Pride line. This soap is also coconut-free!

Who knows? Maybe next year, we can add even more representation!

Secret Confetti Soap- "Debroos" Anarchy & Lemon

Let me be honest with you. I have no clue where the term "Debroos" came from. I am just the gal who writes the soap descriptions and the blog posts. What I do know is that "Debroos" is Deb's favorite fragrance. Perfect, considering last week was Deb's birthday! Happy birthday Deb! 

If you enjoy our Anarchy/Bifrost fragrance, you will love this. It has the same fragrance base (patchouli, vanilla, and black pepper), but with the addition of a lemon twist. The Anarchy/Bifrost fragrance may also be familiar to you if you have ever tried the Lush® Lord of Misrule™.  It should be nearly identical!

There are also little pieces of recycled soap, resembling large pieces of confetti, with literal soap confetti coating the top. Ever wanted to have a celebration in your bathroom but were worried about soggy confetti? We got you covered.

This soap is currently curing, but you can preorder it now!

Solid Fragrances

For those of you who have been waiting for new solid colognes scents to drop- they are just in time for the warmer weather! Now available in a single container or a refill, we have:

• Midnight Pomegranate
• Ragnar's Revenge: Cucumber, Melon, & Spearmint
• Poe-Pourri: Leather, Tobacco Flower, Honey, Hickory, Oud, & Books
• Dragon's Blood & Moonflower!

Up and Coming Spring Products

Regular Sized Midnight Pomegranate Soap

This soap is now too big to be kept a secret! We are officially going to start making Midnight Pomegranate in the 5oz size (and let's be honest, it's probably going to be more like 5.5 oz). Now you will be able to keep your Midnight Pomegranate for longer! But if you want to get the current smaller bar- grab it here!

Transgenic Mice Soap

Our original attention after the Pride Soap fiasco was to make a Trans soap in the shape of Transgenic Mice. However, the molds only just got here. We like mice, especially transgenic mice. So we are going to make them anyway.

Spring Candles

We need to make candles! Specifically Midgard's Serpent, and Freyja's Berries & Cream. These are perfect Spring candles, that can a little bit of fruit and floral in your life.

Norse/Astrology Line

That's right! We are bringing back an astrology line! We are Norse gods with unique fragrances, colors, and crystals, with each member of the zodiac! Starting with the Spring babies! 

We had already made an Aries-Thor Soap scented an, "Earth-Meets-Sky" and we will be bringing this one back first, followed by Taurus and Gemini!
