So, first off, I really love the FO on this. I used BB Watermelon Sugar and it behaved very well. Didn't slow down trace but did not accelerate it. I used nurture soaps force of nature for the neon green, mad micas flirt with a smidgen of NS material girl, Snake island and Winter White. I didn't...

I think this is considered a drop swirl but had fun doing this. I used BB Coastal rains FO and spilt the batter into 4 equal parts. I used Mad Micas Snow white, Aphrodite, Twilight Blue and Peacock for the colors. Didn't do a good job of beating down the mold after everything was poured so...

I am getting some bees this Saturday, super excited to start my bee keeping journey. I am trying to think of some ways to incorporate some beeswax or honey potentially into some soap. Now from what I have been reading seems like there's some mixed reactions to it. I was thinking of adding...

This is the closest to what I have been trying to get for a more seamless ombre that I envisioned in my head. I used BB lush succulent FO and Mad Micas Astro, Nuture soaps Winter white, Mad micas fairy duster in sparkle me aqua for tops. I over blended my batter so only a quarter way through...

This is my second attempt at an ombre soap and really wanted to use a purple colorant. I used Mad micas I dream of purple and Nutures soap winter white. The winter white is really easy to predisperse in oil and not get white spots. For the fragrance oil I used BB Lavender 40/42 essential oil...

I haven't made any soap in the last 3 years. After the last of my ingredients arrived last night I had to make a batch. I definitely cut it too early and overlooked adding sodium lactate and sodium citrate like I wanted to out of excitement. I scented it with BB Spiced Mahogany and used...
