What started as a lark at a 2019 meet-up has become a new storefront in Brighton.

Goat Bubbles Bath & Body hosted its ribbon-cutting ceremony with the community of Brighton on Sept. 15.

"I opened my store on August 8 of this year, but have been selling online since 2019," said owner Rikki Rolando.

Rolando is from Kansas and moved to Colorado 11 years ago. She was a CNA/CMA for 15 years before moving to Colorado.

"I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2011. I've been a knitter and crochet for 18 years," Rolando said.

Rolando said she got into the bath and body business, learning to make soap from goats' milk.

"In 2019, I was invited out to a lady's house for a Fibereista meet-up, and that's where we had a fun day of learning how to make goat milk soap, and I loved it so much," Rolando said.

After learning how to make soap Rolando, I started making it at home with her sister-in-law, and I decided to start selling it, opening a store online.

"My hopes for the future, I would like to be able to carry on with my storefront and have fun with it. I'm not looking to get rich off of it- just be creative and share my wonderful creations with everyone," Roland said.

Goat Bubbles Bath & Body is located at 240 E. Bridge St. Brighton, CO., 720-636-3078.
