What soapy thing have you done today?

[Lin19687]

Decided to reorganize bins and boxes.



Then 2 female neighbors started to Cuss and yell at each other so I tripped over them to go look and listen out the front window.
ROFL

I made my challenge soap, and I made a 6x6 candle, with a most amazing beautiful FO mix. I can't wait to use it in soap. It's Mango Papaya, Coconut Banana Blast, and Lemon Colada. OMG I can't wait to unmold my candle, cure it and burn it.

I went home over lunch and cut it. Pictures do not show the true ugliness

Ugly ducklings become swans.

Just put a batch of HP orange blossom soap in the incubator. First time using shea, and SFatting after cook. I wonder if this batch is “The One” and if I reach soaping nirvana will I quit since it will no longer be a challenge...

Ummm no. I found my perfect recipe (for me) but then i kept seeing other things like salt bars, brine soap, coffee soap.. truly, it just goes on forever, this chase lol

I made my Utah Salt Flats soap last night, rather late, and was going to stay awake long enough to cut before it got too hard. But when the alarm went off at 6 am, I still hadn't cut them. I cut them right away and they were still a bit warm, but hard enough that I got a bit of crumbliness around the cut edges. Since I expected that, I cut the mini-slab into 4 large rectangular bars instead of 6 square bars to minimize the opportunities for crumbling. It wasn't too bad. And it was only a test anyway.

When I get back home, I'll take some photos since I haven't done so yet. I am considering stopping off at the salt flats on my way through Salt Lake City again tomorrow or a little beyond on the edge of the Great Salt Lake and gather more Utah salt.

I liked the feel of the salt I used from the Salt Flats, but of course, I have yet to get a feel for it in soap. BTW, I weighed the salt, then like a ninny, did not write down the exact weight, so don't have a specific percentage, which is a bit of a bummer.

I also dropped off a bunch more soaps for my son, right before I left for my trip home. I told him to share with his friends as he wishes.

@msunnerstood What does the Oakmoss Sage smell like. I can't seem to find a good review of it. Sounds SO NICE ! I love earthy

I would say sage is the primary but you do get the woodsy outdoorsy in the background. I like it.

TY

The FO itself is dark so consider that when choosing a color. I had chosen an emerald green because I figured the oil would darken it some. Here is the result. Not bad, just darker.

I cut my Goat Milk & Lavender soap before I went to bed last night. Pure and simple.

Racked the 4 Regular soaps and unmolded/racked the Salt bars

Unmolded my orange blossom bars. HP gave it an unattractive mustard color.

HAHA My kids are fighting over who gets to keep it in their room. News for them - I get to keep it where *I* want it. - In the kitchen.

Haha, everytime I think I have a lot of soap, I just have to jump in the forum and see this HUGE (to me, anyway) stock of soap and i’m like “nah, I’m good, lets make some more!”

 

[LiLiSoapz]

Ooo the honey suckle looks yummy.

I made what I hope to be soap de teeth. It is more like a remelt with a few additives as an experiment.

Today at 9am est I have my alarm set because I HAVE to do soapy things.

i Need to find the Fall craft fairs and get this all set up. I have a Winter FM that I can pick 2 weekends a month so I have to pick carefully. So far I only have 1 day that there is a Fair in my town right before T-Day.
