There is a fine line between wonderful smelling soap and smells reminiscent of an AM PM Mini mart. Often the smells I like the most are the most unexpected. Of course lavender is my favorite but the orange spice I wasn’t sure about I want to put in every bar of soap. It is as with most things soap a learning experience. Not sure where this will take me only that it will take me somewhere.
This weekends soap was Rosemary Spice, it is a recipe I perfected using avocado oil along with the regulars(Coconut, olive, palm). I swirled green and white in my wooden mold. This soap takes the full 4 weeks to cure and makes a creamy wonderful soap.
This is the first of hopefully many blogs, I’ve never blogged before so here goes.
Soap making is about the ingredients coming together to make something planned and unplanned. Unplanned is the actual soap, color, fragrance, texture etc. As you blend the oils and lye to just the right consistency and add your colors and fragrances. As you dream about what the soap will look like, smell like, feel like. Then you mold and wait. Unmold, cut and wait some more, a month or two for the soap to be just right. No matter how much you plan the soap has a mind of it’s own though.
