Soap Making | An Art Created Through Planning, Inspiration and Creativity

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

Soap collaborations are a big thing with me, not only does it keep the players in the soap making community to come together, but it's a way for you to get to know the individual(s) that you're in the collaboration with get to know one another on a personal and more in depth level.  Meghan from The Butterbean Shop is an absolute doll, not only does she make beautiful soaps for sale she most certainly has to be an amazing mom and mentor; her baby girl is ALWAYS popping up in her videos and that I truly admire. Not only do I respect her as a soap maker but a business woman, so the only logical choice, was to ask her to do a collaboration with me and she so generously said yes! In this soap making collaboration because both of our favorite color is pink, we decided to work around that and a few other sweet elements to make both of our soaps beautiful and whimsical. I chose to use a fragrance from Wholesale Supplies Plus and both titanium dioxide and neon pigments

Lavender Artisan Soap 2018 I don't know about you, but when I think about anything Lavender, I think of soothing, relaxation and rest! Lavender is one of those flowers/buds or essential oils that take you to the next level of existence; although it is definitely an acquired scent and not everyone loves it, you can not deny the effect it has over the mind and body. Said to be the only essential oil that is safest to use on newborns, how could you go wrong with that? Lavender Flowers 2019 When coming up with a floral soap collection for Spring, I could not leave Lavender out of the bunch. Whether you like the way they smell or not, you have to admit they are some beautiful botanical works of art. Lavender can be used for many things, included but not limited to, healing salves, calming balms, lotions and bath oils, bath bombs the list goes on. This year I wanted to kick it up a notch instead of just a boring old purple soap...the usual right!? I encourage y

Now, be honest, you like the heavenly taste of a soft and chewy warm; technically fried, baked good whether it be glazed, "caked" , cream filled or old fashioned the doughnut or more popularly, donut is undoubtedly delicious. What about in a bath? Picture it, you have a hankering for a doughnut, but you're on a diet or let's just say there's not any good shoppes in town, Dunkin and Krispy Kreme doesn't exist, and then it hits you like a ton of bricks. The sweet aroma of strawberries, cream and sugar smack you right across the face. You go with your nose and you follow that smell, take a look in the window and there it is; before your eyes and to your dismay is a delectable yet; inedible treat. You throw your hands up and teeter with walking away from the shop. In your mind, you know these falsies are just too cute to pass up and you decide to have some much needed relaxation instead of devouring calories. That's what a BodyGarbage bath dessert wi

This is one of the many tutorials For Dummies, I provide on my channel and one of the most interesting products to make. I purchased this DIY set as a kit from Wholesale Supplies Plus. It's super easy to make and it can be a family fun project,  you can make with your kids! The  Fairy Dust fragrance oil  it comes with, is a much acquired scent; but you will get used to it should you choose to use it. It's not horrible but it's certainly not great either. One cool point about it, is it is phthalate free, which in my book is a ginormous plus. This kit is catered towards children, but solely in my own opinion, I feel that this scent is way too strong for children. Those of you who are parents can make that decision at your own discretion. Wholesale Supplies Plus gives you all the tools and supplies you will need to create this fun roll-on perfumes, including a step-by-step list of how to put it together. The kit includes 12 jars, including roller ball and caps to comp
