everyone wants to eat soap!





ok so not really, but everyone who sees my soaps.. first reaction is to want to eat it lol.. i guess thats sorta a good thing, right? maybe it has something to do with the fact that i cut them in big thick square chunks, that makes them seem like a bakery dessert or brownie etc..? i personally like them cut that way tho.. eh, lol hence, why i DO cut them that way. whoever was it anyways, that decided soaps should be rectangle? my soaps feel so comfy to hold... a big chunk of soap that fits perfectly in your hand makes sense to me. hmm.. anyways.. this soap.. is a lil bit of an experiment for me.. i put ginger powder in the white part, and annato in the orange layer, both will be a super mild exfoliant and also, beneficial to the skin :) scented it with.. top layer, grapefruit essential oil and orange essential oil, white layer.. ylang-ylang. all together its SUCH a great scent. and.. best of all... all natural.
tonight ive prepared for my soap making tomorrow. steeped some blueberry tea and lecithin some dandelion and a few others, made a nice deep purple water base for my lye solution. going to mix it through some soap tomorrow, dunno if im gonna do a solid colored bar, or maybe a angled layer. havent decided yet....... nor have i decided what to scent it. im thinking rosemary lavendar... tho, i could go a completely different route and make it smell crisp and earthy. argh, i just cant decide. im also thinking, some lil bits of tea leaves as an exfoliant throughout that might be nice. blah.. its almost always a last minute decision for me...... guess ill know tomorrow. until then........... mad scientist.out.
