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

Soap making is a dangerous art, you may not think so; but if you're using a harmful chemical compound to create something new, yes it is indeed dangerous and I still chose to make a soap BLINDFOLDED! What the hell was I thinking for letting Aromatic Suds talk me into this? That's a serious question please answer that for me...lol. When thinking of making a soap blindfolded, the first thing that came to mind...well the second thing next to was I going to live through this - dramatic I know, so what, shoot me - was the fragrance. I needed something that was going to pop and blow minds just like this video concept. I remembered I had Fairy Dust Fragrance Oil from Wholesale Supplies Plus, from their Fairy Dust Roll On Perfume Kit and it was a perfect match! I didn't love it so much as a perfume, but as a soap fragrance oh my word, it's utterly intoxicating.So fragrance down, now I needed some great mica and that's where Nurture Soap comes in, I love the fact

If you are by chance into make up videos/tutorials on YouTube, then you long well know about the craze of videos entitled " I Tried Following..." and this is where the idea for this collaboration with myself and Aromatic Suds  originated from.  As far as I know, no other soap makers have attempted this before and it's always good to be THE FIRST!!!  As you can see from the title, I chose to follow a Yellow Cottage Soapery video. The creator of this channel and owner of Yellow Cottage, Stacey, is a very skilled soap maker and her piping skills are what any great baker would envy. I wanted to do a video where I could emulate her skill with ease and poise. My first attempt didn't go so well and you will get a chance to check out my fail soon, but I thought it best to put my best foot forward so to speak.  Back to the drawing board I went, reformulating my recipe, getting more fragrance and with a little prayer, patience and grace from God; I persevered and made

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

When Renee from Soaps for Love , first approached me about doing a YouTube Collaboration, I had no idea it would be this fun or; let's face it, with this amount of people. I mean c'mon 17 soap makers on YouTube all working together for one purpose... unheard of, but if anyone could hold this group together it would be Renee. She's a woman, with a beautiful soul and a giving heart, giving away for FREE all the artisan soap she makes to those less fortunate and/or just to brighten up someone's day. This collaboration, although overwhelming was a fun experience and grew my soaping family astronomically. All the people I have met through this soap making process of creating a beer soap for St. Patrick's Day, has connected me with so many beautiful people and it's so heartwarming to know theirs so many others out there like me, that are creating and doing what they love. For my soap, Truffle Butter, I chose to keep it simple. I used four different mi

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
