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

PINE TAR SOAP

Pine Tar is the goo from the sap of the Pine Tree among other ingredients, that is used to treat animal illnesses from cuts, bruises and upset stomachs and more  ( mainly horses ). It has a very pungent garlic and medicinal smell that is definitely not for the faint of heart but gives attribution to its antiseptic qualities.  In cosmetics, Pine Tar is added to hair care products, soap and other skin products to help aid in the relief against symptoms of dermatitis, psoriasis and eczema.  Studies have shown that the added use of pine tar can help relief the  user of all the symptoms in correspondence with the skin conditions listed above, including dandruff.

Avengers Endgame - Marvels Captain America Soap

If you haven't seen Marvel Studios, Avengers Endgame; please tell me EXACTLY what the hell you are waiting for? In this house we do not discriminate against Marvel or DC, we just love Super Heroes and Villains alike. I must say, however; Marvel does have some of my all time favorite characters, including but not limited to Black Panther, Iron Man, Captain America, Captain Marvel and the lot. This movie, just like the comics and the movies before it was nothing short of greatness and I'm pretty sure if my man Stan was still here, albeit looking down upon us ( is ), would have been very proud of this one. Let's be honest, this movie was long as hell y'all but undoubtedly, in my opinion, one of the best if not the best Avengers movie to date. From action to comedy to heartfelt drama, Avengers Endgame was worth the entire 3 hours and 25 minute running time. Which leads me to the inspiration behind my Captain America Soap, initially this soap was supposed to be designed

HOW DO YOU YUZU? - SOAP MAKING PROCESS

Today's question is...How do you Yuzu? Lol, I have never smelled Yuzu or even seen one let alone knew what it looked like, but I'm a risk taker and I went out on a limb and purchased this yuzu fragrance from Natures Garden and Oh My Goodness; let me tell you, it's one of thee most mouthwatering and delicious citrus fragrances I have ever smelled. There is nothing subtle about this fragrance but it's very sweet, bright and overtly refreshing. When thinking of a design for this soap, I wanted the fragrance to stand out so I figured I would keep it simple. I decided to do an "in the pot swirl", which essentially means you pour different colored soap batter into one container and do a soft mix about 2-3 times and pour into the mold. This method is one of the easiest to gain a simple yet unique soap design every time you do it. With making this Yuzu Cold Process Soap it was the perfect added touch. In this soap there is also my go-to colors

Lavender Soap Flowers | Cold Process Soap Making

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

DIY BATH DESSERTS - MAKING GLAZED DOUGHNUT BATH BOMBS

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

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
