Making Man Soap

I made some man soap last night. My son wanted some soap that doesn't smell like girls. So, I got some fragrance oil that smells like Polo Blue.

First, I mixed up the lye and water and let it cool a bit. Then I melted the oils and butters.













Next, I dumped the melted oils and butter into a stainless steel bowl. Then I slowly added the lye water. Then I blend it all up.
















It's ready to go!













I took some of the soap batter out and mixed blue color into it and then dumped it back into the bowl and swirled it a bit. then I dumped it all into the mold.

24 hours later...
I unmolded it, cut it and will let it cure for at least 4 weeks. It looks a little purple in the pictures, but it is blue.

Feeling the Love

I'm in 4 treasuries tonight, which is a record for me!!

Fresh From The Mold

I've been busy making CP soap this week. Here are a few I just cut today.

These are Plum Apricot and Geisha. Geisha smells so good! It is a blend of exotic white tea leaves with a sparkling accord of mulberry, fragrant mimosa, and plum wine. Notes of Peony and rare white flowers accentuate the heart of the exotic white tea. Whispers of airy petals and soft white musk round out this fragrance. These are Lavender Vanilla and Crème de Cassis - which is a luscious black currant-flavored liqueur enveloped with a froth of fresh cream.

I still need to cut the Lavender Vanilla then they're off to the closet under the stairs (AKA The Harry Potter Closet) to cure for 4-6 weeks.

Etsy Treasuries

I stayed up late to try and get a treasury and I finally got one. I'm in one too.
Here's the one I'm in:


Here's the one I made!

Babies in Booties

I've been patiently waiting for my new molds. I was so excited when I finally got the package this morning. I ran off to the kitchen to make soap and they turned out so cute!
This one is a baby in a ruffled heart: This is the baby girl in a bootie. It is so detailed, I am amazed I made it!!
