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...
Whether it's the television show or the Bath and Body Works Fragrance Mist, Mad About You is a classic. The scent is a combination between champagne and strawberries with notes of floral essence.
This particular soap making process through me for a loop. The highly concentrated Wholesale Supplies Plus fragrance had my mad about you cold process soap going AWOL. From a quick seize
( soap hardening too fast ), separation ( oils and lye not combining ), to the fast forward gelling ( the soap heating up and becoming translucent and gel-like ) on itself, I almost lost it but in true BodyGarbage fashion; I overcame this hurdle and pushed through.
I used some of the best Nurture Soap mica with this cold process soap; the vibrant orange is Atomic Orange Mica, the eye popping pink is Lollipop Pink Mica, the elusive black is Black Pearl Mica and the pinkish red is Raspberry Pink Red Mica, which gives this soap in my opinion the perfect balanced contrast between light and dark colors. Although, it did not come out as I initially hoped I am very proud of the end result...especially the smell.
Should you dare try to recreate this soap, check out the Mad About You fragrance from Wholesale Supplies Plus and don't hesitate to grab some mica from Nurture Soap. Feel free to check out the video below and watch how it all came together in Mad About You Cold Process Soap Making video linked below!Supplies
