I make a rosemary mint soap using EO calc’s blend. I add green sea clay and a little spirulina for the green.

Here’s my mojito soap. I like the gradient pour!

I made mojito soap tonight, and I had no idea what design I was going to do until I actually started making it. I used peppermint, lime, litsea and tangerine essential oils, I used spirulina and a little bentonite clay for color. I was going to hanger swirl, but it seems like I’ve been doing...

Just chiming in to agree with the others—there are certain EOs that stick better than others, and EOcalc is awesome!

Ugh, I hate patchouli! I had a little 30ml bottle that I inherited from someone and I decided to use it in a blend with orange, litsea and ginger and all I could smell was the patchouli! And now there must be a little bit in my essential oil bin, because I keep getting it on my fingers! Never again!

A little more of the rose clay and it would have been meat soap! I feel like I dodged a bullet. Calling this one wild rose, it’s got rosewood, vetiver, petitgrain, clary sage, litsea and cedarwood EOs. It was supposed to be drop swirl, but that didn’t work out, so I hanger swirled it.

Thank you! No scent.

They turned out really well!

I have been seriously MIA these past months—stuck in hockey mom land! I just made a camo hunter’s soap today and can’t wait to see what it looks like!! I used spirulina and green sea clay for the lighter green, spirulina and charcoal for the darker green, charcoal for black and cocoa powder for...

Ok, my ginger turmeric soap is in the mold. I was inspired by a turmeric latte mix I had, so I added 2 Tbsp of that to the essential oils. The mix has turmeric, coconut milk powder, coconut sugar, cayenne pepper and black pepper (very small amounts of these.) I used orange, litsea, lemon...

OMG I love him! 😍 We had a rescue pitbull and she was the best dog ever!!! She died almost 3 years ago and I still miss her so much. And yes, she snored!

I have been lacking motivation to make soap lately. It's been months. But I have the house to myself this weekend and I'm working up to making a turmeric-ginger-honey soap this evening or tomorrow. I'm also going to make some sourdough bread (which I have been unmotivated to make as well!)

Well, at -40, Celsius and Fahrenheit coincide. I guess we we pretty close to that this morning!

-26 here this morning 🥶

I use unrefined from Baraka Shea, and I think the smell is pleasant (I definitely don’t smell feet or death.) I don’t notice it coming through the finished soap.
