If that were to only smell half as good as it looks it will be divine. I love your natural looking soaps mostho...very nice

I love your earthy, natural soaps. It's a nice reminder that simplicity can be elegant and beautiful and we don't need 12 colors of swirl in a soap pot.

Did you grind your cinnamon stick down first, or did the stick blender do that?

Edited to add that I just came across one of my first soaps that I made almost a year ago that is very similar to this one. It was for my daughter to give to her friends when they were all in the Nutcracker ballet together. It was also cinnamon/sweet orange scented, although I just used the spice, not the cinnamon EO. It still smells lovely. Yours is prettier though!

Thank you all friends.
I usually love to give this natural look to all my soaps because I don like to use artificial colours I use them rarely. Also becasue it's all about soap, if you know what's inside and how much love and effort you get into... no time to think about fancy shocking colours: nature gave it's best in several light shades!

@judymoody: thank you for your kind words. I grind down the cinnamom sticks first, then I add it at trace usually.

Cheers to all!
