How to make scented soy wax candles at home

 Who doesn't love a good candle? You use candles to scent your home or office, to unwind or even to take away smells of food and cigar or cigarette smoke. But have you thought of trying your hand at making your own candles? It's super easy and fun for the whole family. There are easy accessible kits at both your local department and craft stores, see this episode here , where I used a candle making kit from Walmart! With kits you can not control the type of wax you have but you can definitely get the wax you need and that I personally prefer from a craft section from the discount department stores or from the craft store online or in store. First, you need soy wax, eight ounce candle tins, candle wicks, color, fragrance, glue dots or a glue gun and glue sticks ( I prefer the latter )...all these items are very affordable. Once you have everything you need, you're going to measure out one pound which is about sixteen ounces. This will give you three 8 ounce candles. The math

Black Love Artisan Soap | Cold Process Soap



HIS BLACK LOVE
SCENTED IN
JAPANESE LOTUS BLOSSOM
The month of February is known for three things, Valentine's Day, President's Day and for being Black History Month. Black History Month is a time for not only Black or African Americans to reflect on their heritage and to learn more of their ancestors and themselves; but for all to participate and get to know the culture and the history of all who are melanated.

Living, loving and basking in all things and people with melanin, our culture, our Black History is rich and full of a harsh past but perseverance, opulence, excellence, wealth and intelligence. This 2019 in Celebrating my Black Culture and Black History, I decided to give praise and representation to my heritage by creating his and her soaps that I dub Black Love. Respectfully, his black love ( women's ) and her black love ( mens ). There is no love like black love and to be proud of it. Share in the black culture full of mystery and abundance by purchasing one or both of these soaps in a set. You can't have black love without both the woman and the man. February is too short but this is a statement that will last for a long time.

Cannabis Inspired 420 Cold Process Soap For Stoners

Since people found out there was a leaf that could be smoked and would give you a feeling of euphoria and relaxation, they have been rolling joints and lighting bongs. The 420 celebration is the mother of them all when it comes to "hippie" festivals and I am no stranger to them. This is my tribute to stoners everywhere! This cannabis inspired cold process soap, is made with CBD Oil from Bluebird Botanicals , Super Sparkle Iridescent Glitter and Hemp Fragrance from Wholesale Supplies Plus, Green Vibrance and Neutral Gray Micas and Titanium Dioxide from Nurture Soap . The whimsical design and coloring was to give a peace and love type of euphoric feel. The muted green and gray colors give this soap a mellow and laid back tone while the melt and pour marijuana leaf embeds and soap dough joint let's you know just what this soap is about if the smell doesn't tell you already. As a person that suffers from PTSD and the high anxiety and paranoia that comes wi

Making Soap Dough Decals ( Soap Dough )

When you think of soap decorations or design, as a soap maker; you're usually imagining something beautiful, colorful and will match the theme of your bar soap! With the Way of Color Bar Soap, I had ocean creatures in mind; whether fictional or real life sea dwellers to add to the soap.  I began, with designing my soap, thinking of a color and fragrance that would coincide with what I had envisioned and what would capture the essence of what I was trying to portray within the soap itself.  With the left over soap, I actually made my soap decals! The process is simple and easy. You simply take soap that hasn't been cured and still loose and cut all air from it. Some make an entire loaf and leave that covered or, like me; you can pour the unused soap and add it to Ziplock or sandwich bags and leave them in the refrigerator overnight. This process should slow the saponification process down and keep the soap soft and moist so it can easily be molded.  When you're ready to actu
