Tera Muskrat is the artist behind this fun painting ~ as soon as I saw it, I knew it needed to smell like Cedar & Vanilla.
The story of the queen of the woodpile is one most Taos women can relate to. The constant search for wood to heat your home with the prize often held by the men in this town. The Woman with the biggest wood pile must have the most male admirers. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do in this cold ass high desert town! (Tera's story to go with the art)

I love, love, love everything about this soap--from the fabulous artwork on the wrapper to the deep cedar & vanilla scent. I can just place a bar of this soap in my lap while I work and the scent wafts through my senses and I know all is right with the world for the moment lol ♥️
(p.s., note to self: must try lotion!)

For our Women in Construction celebration, I order soaps, lotions and candles for each of the women on our team. They are so delighted with the product, especially the artwork!! I choose different soaps for each woman bases on her personality. I must say Queen of the Woodpile and Cactus Flower were the top hits!!!
