Along with the Caribbean Diva<\/a>, I will have two more new soaps available around mid-June. First up, is a re-designed, better smelling Sweet & Sassy:<\/p>\n

This soap fragrance is a nice caramelized vanilla with some floral and fruity notes, rounded out by sandalwood and pink pepper. Delicious! <\/p>\n

You might recall last year’s version, which was a black soap with pink soap balls:

There were two factors involved in the way I designed this soap previously. 1. The vanilla content discolors the soap, and 2. I bought the fragrance on clearance, so I wanted to stretch it as far as possible. So, I went ahead and colored the main soap black since it was going to discolor anyway, and then I used a simple musk fragrance in the pink soap balls. The result was ok. It still smelled pretty good, but there were definitely some undertones that reminded me of play dough. <\/p>\n

This time I left out the musk, and it’s MUCH better! The pink & white soap on top is simply unscented.<\/p>\n

Next, is a brand new soap called Tahitian Vanilla:<\/p>\n

Obviously, it is made with another discoloring fragrance, but WOW! It’s so worth it! This is more of a tropical vanilla fragrance with a hint of citrus. In fact, out of the bottle it smells just like a sunscreen I purchased at Walgreen’s a few years ago. So yummy! I mixed some green and yellow mica together for the contrasting color, hoping for more of a lime green, but this works too!<\/p>\n

I still want to re-create the Sweet Surrender soap<\/a> with all-natural ingredients. I finally got my package of organic cocoa butter yesterday, so I’m planning to try out a small batch soon! I hope you are having a great week so far!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
