I had my nephews look at me like I was an old fart, so the next time I masterbatched some lye I took some selfies and now they call me "Breaking Soap"

I see you posted this three years ago, do you still love this and what about the bubble issue?

I'm happy to be soaping today. Making bridal shower favors for my goddaughter/niece. Need to make 4 batches, happy :)

Soap For Me :) After all the soapmaking for the holidays, I decided to make a batch just for me. I made a shea-heavy soap scented with gardenia and used Mad Micas Hot Man Tin Roof, Guava Lava, and Snow White. I even dusted the top with some copper. It made me very happy and now I can't wait...
