Bubbles & Balms

💛 A little life update + GOOD NEWS! Our soap is back in stock! 🧼

First, I want to apologize for being so quiet here and slow to respond to messages and emails over the past few weeks. Life has been particularly full behind the scenes, and I appreciate everyone who has reached out with patience and kindness.

Over the past little while, I've been in and out of the hospital supporting a close family member after an unexpected medical situation, while also navigating some big family responsibilities. It's been a lot to manage alongside the day-to-day running of Bubbles & Balms, especially as we work through our final year in business.

When we first announced our closing, our wonderful wholesale customers stocked up, which meant many of our products sold out much faster than anticipated! 💛 Restocking has been a bit of a challenge with less time available than usual, but I'm slowly working my way through it.

The good news? Our soap is back! 🎉 And I'm working to bring back as much of our full product line as possible before our final markets begin in mid-November.

I know many of you have been asking about your favourite products and wondering whether we'll make them one last time. My goal is to get as much made and restocked as I reasonably can, so you have another chance to stock up on the products you've loved over the years.

Here's the plan for our final stretch:

🧼 Now through mid-November: Restocking as much of our product line as possible.

🎁 After our final markets: Any remaining inventory will be bundled into mystery bags and sold through our website.

💛 December 3rd: Our 13th business anniversary, and the final day of Bubbles & Balms.

This season of life has reminded me that sometimes we have to take things one day at a time and give ourselves a little grace. I'm doing my best to balance everything, and I'm so grateful you're still here with us.

Thank you for your patience while I catch up, for supporting this little business over the years, and for loving our products as much as you do. It means more than you know. 🥹💛

Now, go see what's back in stock! 🛍️ www.bubblesandbalms.ca

A little update on what’s next for Bubbles & Balms...
Over the last little while, we’ve been exploring what the next chapter of Bubbles & Balms could look like. We’ve had a few wonderful people approach us about taking over the business, but so far, nothing has felt quite like the right fit.

And somewhere in that process, we realized something: maybe the next chapter doesn’t need to happen right away.

After nearly 13 incredible years, we’re choosing to take a break. To soak up a few years with our kids while they’re still little. To have more time for our family. And to give Judith the space to support Justin as he continues his work creating more affordable housing in our community.

We can’t tell you when—or exactly how—Bubbles & Balms will return. But we’re not treating this as goodbye. We’ll keep this community close, stay in touch, and leave the door open for whatever the future brings.

And we’re not disappearing just yet! We’ll continue making and restocking your favourites through November 13, so there’s still lots of time to visit us and stock up.

A few important dates to know:
September 14 — Our Hampton boutique closes
November 13–15 — Find us at Lady Smith
November 20–22 — Find us at Rhoda’s
December 3 — Our online shop closes on our lucky 13th anniversary

Between now and then, we plan to enjoy every last batch, market, conversation and familiar face.

Thirteen years of Bubbles & Balms has given our family more than we ever could have imagined. We’re incredibly excited to spend these next few months celebrating it with the people who helped make it possible.

This isn't goodbye. It's just see you later
Judith Sweeney
Founder, Bubbles & Balms
