Oh no, don't feel like that. My first attempts at soap making were cringe worthy and even now I turn out some pretty ugly soaps. It's all trial and error (and fun).

I would not consider that a failed soap at all. Maybe not the look you had in your head, but it's beautiful!

Oops I meant to "like" the photo post, not this one. No need to cringe! Your soaps are gorgeous. I see the tree in the design too. Love the colors.

If you've never tried a salt scrub before, you're in for a treat! I was always afraid to try one because I thought it would dry out my already parched skin. I took it into the shower with me. Got wet. Turned the water off. Scrubbed gently all over with special attention to elbows and feet. Rinsed. Toweled off. My skin felt totally renewed! Not parched at all. S'wonderful stuff!

That’s fantastic news!
I did try a bit on my hands after I made it. Only thing I didn’t like was that my hands were coated in the coconut oil that I used in the salt scrub. So I had to wash them off with a bit of soap. Which I felt like defeated the purpose of the scrub? I don’t know. Maybe I’m being picky. The thought of covering my body in oil made me cringe a bit though.
... Maybe I need to add more salt to it?

I made soap using fresh pumpkin puree for part of my liquid. The FO (cinders/embers from Nurture) said "moderate discoloration," so I bumped up the orange color with red palm instead of white, and added Orange Vibrance mica (also nurture). It looks just like the fresh puree right now. We'll see what happens over the course of a couple of days. I've had a "moderate discoloration" from them before go very dark on me.

Today I made my first dual lye shaving soap. It has Bentonite clay, Vitamin E, Jojoba, and a little Aloe gel. Tried it in the shower tonight when I got home from skating practice and I got a very good shave, and my skin isn’t dry. :bathtub:

Got my challenge entry cleaned up and photographed. Checked the first of my toy embed trial. Printed several soap dishes.

I made a soap out of apple cider. I also tried out my first pringles mold to make some round soaps.

This weekend I researched making a shave soap. I'm starting from scratch because I can't find the recipe I spent months creating when I made my 1 and only batch a few years ago. DH liked it so I honestly don't know why I never made it again. Now I want to kick myself for not keeping better track of my recipes .

I discovered that the soaps I make in a Pringles can will fit in a wide mouth Ball jar. Might be cute for my teacher gifts this year.
