Did you know that soap can shatter?  Do you know what happens when you mix the Lye Solution meant for 34 oz of oils into 14 oz oils?  Gawd as my witness, I thought it was going to catch of fire and through it out in the middle of my driveway.  I had to toss a bowl trying to chip soapcreate out of it and it took a good hour on a slow boil to get it hour of stick blender.  My first batch of Goat Milk Soap...awful is putting it mildly.  And I was crying when my husband came home because my beautiful soap scented with Lemon EO...was orange.  I was in absolute shock when I went to show him the soap and it was yellow!


The Christmas soaps I made last year...every freaking one of them accelerated and they were all swirls.  Out of the five...three came through beautifully, one managed to pass muster.  The fourth one...I have no clue what happened.  It turned the most awful color and was like a black hole because I had to have poured in over a half of cup of thick dispersed TD and nothing.  I left it in the mold for almost four days and had to scoop it out...it was gross.
