Well, its a new, exciting year and we have hit the gound running! We have been working on a couple of great orders from Oxfam and Traidcraft but January has also allowed us to get a jump start on some of those New Year's resolutions! There's a long list of things that we want to achieve through Visionary Soap Company this year and we hope you will stay tuned to see how we get on.
