Just had to share! You probably get that a lot...
After my horrible start to soap making with a damaged container of lye and the massive clean up and disposal of, I FINALLY made my first batch today.
I used a stick blender so it traced MUCH quicker than I thought it would. I was keeping an eye on it, but then it just happened. Then when I added my oil (musk rose) it sped up even more, so by the time I had added botanicals, it was quite lumpy. I quickly poured/scraped it into the mould and evened out the top. It's now all bundled up in the laundry waiting til tomorrow (or Sunday). Fingers crossed it works out!
Very excited.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
