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

Bubble Crumble Recipe & Tutorial

Wowwzers! It's been such a long time, let me know how I do with this blog post; I'm a little rusty. 

When I first started making soap, I was mesmerized at the fact that you could take this and put it with that and it creates THIS; magnificent! I was astonished, amazed and eager to know and learn more. I started researching what other types of bath and body products were out there and one of the unique items I came across were bubble bars or solid bubble bath. And I thought, hmm who doesn't love a good bubble bath and the quest began. 
I sought out free recipes and tutorials, researched other blogs, was gifted a paid recipe and although that information was great; it wasn't me. Through trial, error and so much wasted money, I came up with my very own recipe that I call Bubble Crumble. Bubble Crumble holds scent well, dries fast and floods your bath tub with not only bubbles but fun colors; you shouldn't have to give up color just because you don't have a bath bomb...it would be an utter crime! Plain water is for the mundane, don't you think?


In my journey to create the BEST recipe and make the most AMAZING bubble bars, solid bubble bath or bubble crumble, whatever you want to call it; I decided I couldn't and didn't want to keep this secret to myself. I, with the help of a very good friend have comprised a simplistic tutorial along with pictures, ingredients ( complete with clickable links ) and a YouTube video for reference for you to purchase and enjoy to your hearts content. Make as many Bubble Crumble as you want with this recipe, gift them, sell them; anything you want, once you buy it, it's yours! We just ask that you do us a favor and tag us in any content that involves a product made from our recipe; we want to enjoy your bubbly creations. 

View the video below to follow along with the step by step tutorial and recipe once you purchase it and you can do that here. I'm so excited for you all to start creating!

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
