so.. theres my two colors. cant tell very well from my fonecam, but one is a nice brown color, the other is a nice earthy green. my only concern is the green one has a strong kelp scent. the moss ( brown) one smells awesome. my goal is to create a very earthy natural smelling bar,with very real , natural, earthy things in it .. to make it that! also being exceptional for your skin........yet, still has a "good" smell to it. so, in the green one, ive also added ylang-ylang essential oil, and the brown one has cassia bark essential oil. now, both of these will end up being the color swirls for a white bar of soap........... hmm... im undecided as to how i will scent it.i couldnt resist the urge to purchase some fragrance oil, even though i am trying to keep things on the el natural side, theres just something so wonderful about this fragrance that i purchased. so... its possible ill be scenting the base color of the soap with that. if not....... hmm.... not sure yet.

cant wait till this soap is ready to slice and shape and get ready for the bars to actually be made.
i really like this soap thing.

so... for my first attempt at soap? the only real problem i ran into.. was the paint chips coming off of the meat thermom.i will say this though, lol.. as much as i wanted to do things the old fashioned way...... a stick blender sure does sound nice right about now. * rubs arm* ouch.

oh, and that little mug with the white soap is sitting there just so i can see how white my formula will turn out, if its not light enough to be the base for the bar with the swirls, ill have to change up the formulation. :)
