Time To Make Soap!

My soap curing racks are so empty right now, it is definitely time to make some soap to get ready for the upcoming holidays... especially Halloween and Christmas!

Green With Envy CP Soap

This little beauty I made is finally done curing and is ready for sale! It's on sale in my shop because I forgot to add the fragrance oil when I made it... Oops!  I do love the swirls in this one and green is one of my favorite cooler colors that is also calming. I'm making a much needed supply order soon and will be getting a nice teal mica (teal is my favorite color of all!) so I can't wait to get my hands on some and make some soap with it! I'll probably wind up doing a restock of this Green With Envy WITH the minty fragrance oil and use the new teal and green micas I'll be ordering. Should be really nice. Oh, and my lovely black lab Lady decided to photobomb my product shoot! :)

Kisses From The Sky - The Green Children

I listen to The Green Children while I'm soaping. Milla has one of the most angelic voices in music!

Life, School, and Alchemy...

Life got busy all of a sudden what with school starting for my (almost) 7 year old who started (gasp!) 2nd grade! I haven't written much here but now that he's in school and things are getting calmer (for the most part),  I can start blogging again and making soap in what I affectionately call my soap alchemy lab.

I have run out of much needed soap supplies like oils and butter, and colors, and can't make any soap magick until I get more at the start of September. Bummer. My not being able to make soap is driving me mad but thankfully, my downtime had me stumble across a new supplier online that I cannot wait to try out. They are called Mad Oils and have a little bit of everything I need EXCEPT the base oils themselves. But, no matter, they have fragrance oils that I'd love to get my hands on and make sample batches with, as well as botanicals, clays, gorgeous micas, etc...! I'll be ordering from them very soon, you can betcha! For any fellow soap makers, here's their link to go check them out. Cheers!

Rocky Road (A Rebatch Soap)

Rocky Road scented with a yummy chocolate fragrance oil. This batch was actually made from soap scraps from various older batches that I've been needing to do something with (I NEVER waste good soap lol!). So I rebatched them in my crockpot with goats milk and cocoa powder for a natural colorant. They will be up on my online store by this weekend. :)
