Even though it cooled down a bit earlier in the week so I could make some goat’s milk soaps, the Brown Sugar & Fig is still quite soft. I was able to cut a slice and take a picture of it, but I’m going to wait another day to cut the rest. I really hope [...]
Ok, the suspense is finally over! Here is one of the best out of the batch: Like my photoshop skills? I know you thought I drove all the way to the beach from Kansas just to take this picture! Ha! So I have about half the batch (or 24 bars) that turned out decent enough [...]
I mentioned to my Preferred Customers that I started the watermelon soap last week. It’s a two-day process to get all the layers made. I had to refer back to the tutorial that I wrote for Bonnie Bath Pro last year to see how I made it the first time! Unfortunately, my notes were a [...]
Let’s start with the low inventory: Red Rock Canyon – just 1 left! I’ve marked it down to $5.00. Not planning to re-stock this one any time soon. Pineapple Blossom – just 1 left! Also marked down to $5.00, not re-stocking. Oatmeal, Milk & Honey – just 3 left! Not marked down, but still available [...]
Yesterday, I made more soap! One batch I’ve made before, but had requests to bring it back. One customer (and all four of her daughters) want it for the scent, the other wants it for the design. Either way, they are all going to be happy. It’s the Sweet & Sassy soap that I made [...]
Well….the first soap I made yesterday looked really great in the mold: I used a hibiscus fragrance for the bottom half, and a different fragrance called “White Butterfly” for the top half. I knew the hibiscus fragrance might set up on me, so I decided to just color it solid and pour it in the [...]
Finally, a brand new soap for the guys! Red Rock Canyon is made with fresh goat’s milk and the distinctive scent of aftershave in a fragrant blend of lavender, oak moss, lime and black pepper. Fresh, clean scent in a super moisturizing bar. Gotta love it! Red Rock Canyon will be available on April 1st [...]
Unlike the Pineapple Blossom soap, the other soap that I made yesterday turned out almost exactly the way I had planned. I was finally able to soap some of the fragrance I had won from DayStar Soap & Candle Supply – the dupe of Bath & Body Works Chocolate Amber. I’m not sure why they [...]
You may not be able to tell just by looking at the picture, but this soap did not turn out the way I had planned. The fragrance is a beautiful scent called Pineapple Blossom, and I had used it one other time – way back when I was experimenting with making salt bars. I didn’t [...]
The first soap of the new year is Lavender Lemon! It’s been out of stock for several months, and I received several requests for it right before Christmas. For good reason – it’s a great soap! Lavender and lemon essential oils both have antibacterial properties, and the scent is very refreshing and “clean”. Pulverized corn [...]
