Looks great! What fragrance did you use? It kind of reminds me of pumpkin.

Why not try a small batch for personal use to see if you like it before you commit to the big one? If it were me, I'd like to try to make them myself :)

Omg that is so pretty!

My in-laws are the same. :-?

I love violet soap and those colours & swirls are amazing! I am jealous :)

Think I would send him a photo of me flipping the bird if it were me. Bad enough that he asked, but through facebook???

I think she is very brave for doing that. There is nothing glamorous about a mastectomy. Even with reconstructive surgery her "new" breasts won't be like normal natural breasts. Given her family history and the results of the gene testing I don't think her decision was jumping the gun at all...

We might have old stock - my supplier is in Australia and I have noticed that we don't have any of the new scents or as big a range as is available from the Brambleberry site. I think I might have to try it and see how it goes while I can still get my hands on it.

The only thing that I can think of is that she likes to experiment and ends up with loads of soap, which she then sells. I can totally see how that can happen.... I'd like to make at least a batch a week, but soon we would be wading through piles of soap bars! There's only so much you can...

Mmm sounds sex-ay! Love the pretty swirls on top - it reminds me of lava or hot coals.

Oooh pretty! What does it smell like? I like Swirling Dervish too :)

Sounds yummy, but then I thought that Sweet Meyer Lemon did too and that smelled kind of detergent-esque to me. I'll be using it in M&P. Also, does the BB Violet smell anything like the Bathos bubble bar that Lush used to do? I really miss it and I'd like to have a shot at making a substitute...

Hey Lotus! I know you from Etsy! (I go by dollybirdblythe there). Nice looking soap. You are brave for trying the pureed avocado. Keep us posted as to how it turns out. :)

I would think that it might be difficult/time consuming to separate the fat from the cooked meat juices. I think you would have to cook an awful lot of ground beef to get enough to soap with. I bought some tallow used for frying but haven't yet made any soap with it yet. It was pretty cheap -...

Maybe it has something to do with not having borax in the mix? The recipe I used had washing soda, grated soap and oxy-bleach granules in it. No EO or anything like that. The smell was the same horrible smell that you get if you forget your washing and leave it in the machine too long, only...
