Well made a soap on Sept 19, I tried something a little different . Made purple and green soap in individual molds.  They still came out pretty neat.  Castor oil Olive oil Palm oil Passion fruit bamboo flower n.o. Will add pics soon Also tried making cherry almond soap, as soon as I added the fragrance the batch started to seize on me. So I looked up info on how to save it and it said I could use the hot process. It is useable but I will not try to sell it. Will add pics soon. Castor oil Coconut oil Palm oil Olive oil Goats milk frozen Cherry almond fragrance oil I still like it.

Orange, Frankincense and Myrrh Soap Water Lye Olive oil Walnut oil Coconut oil Castor oil Orange e.o.  Frankincense e.o. Myrrh e.o. Brown mica Let brown mica Did a double batch of soap this time. Added Frankincense for my husband. Separated  mixture into 2 bowls and added the mica to each bowl. Then when they were mixed added them together in 1 bowl and poured it into the mold. Then sprinkled  orange mica and took a toothpick and did some swirls, then sprinkled dried orange peel on top. Looks pretty good. 

Well did a second loaf today. The basic loaf  but with vanilla and rose essential oil. We also added some mica, a little mauve rose with bright pink gently mixed in. 

Well my husband helped me make my first soap loaf yesterday. We shall see how it turns out. Will post pics later. A basic soap recipe with peppermint and lavender essential oil .
