Made my first batch of soap after a two year long hiatus.

Olive oil, coconut oil and lard.
Scented with peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils.
Colored with alfalfa powder.

I have a 4 year old and an 11 month old, so life just got busy all of a sudden and I had to put soap making behind me for a bit.
My birthday was back in March though and my sister gave me a $30 Amazon gift card. So I blew all of it on some much needed soap making supplies!

Today I finally got a free moment (yay for babysitters!) and plunged head first back into making some soap!
I had so much fun!

Family comes first, but soap making will always be a close second, haha.
