Nursing school stress relief

[JenniferSews]

This last semester of school is killing me! I've been making 4-6 batches a week, it really helps me relax. These will be nice and aged for Christmas gifts!

Santa's Pipe- I nearly threw this scent away I hated it so much. It's aged and now I LOVE it. I did red swirls in this but they vanished completely-

Rosemary Mint, so yummy! Playing with my new colorants. The unfortunate lines are from the wax paper. I now cut it to fit exactly-

Pumpkin-

And calendula with yuzu and lemon zest. We'll see how the lemon zest ages.

Hihi, Santa's pipe....funny name ;-)

I love the calendula one......not only because the wonderful look but also because of Yuzu, which I adore ;-)

PS. Wish you all the best for your nursing school!! All the last semesters of a school are very hard! Go for it!

Love them all! Definitely understand soaping as a stress relief. Am 43 and back in college full time for Healthcare Information Tech.

Best of luck!

To me it smells like a cherry pipe tobacco. It is very strong at first but as mentioned it does mellow out nicely. It's been a good seller for me at shows.

I wish I had soaping to distract me when in nursing school! I drove myself nearly insane trying to get through. It looks like you have found a calling for your stress-relief.

I love your bars, expecially the bottom one with the lemon zest.

Isn't this fun?!

SO fun! Fast enough too that I can listen to the lecture and not feel like I'm totally slacking.

Santa's pipe smells so strongly when it arrives that I'd open the garage and get hit with a wave of smell in the driveway, a good 20 feet. My husband HATED it. Now it smells mostly cherry with a bit of tobacco undertone. I didn't think I'd like it but it's wonderful.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

What colourant did you use for Santa's Pipe?

I really like it. It looks like gingerbread to me.
Even though not red, it looks great.

I forgot to mention the brown was henna. I have a hard time making it dissolve evenly, so it has bits of darker brown, but it seemed like a good match for a tobacco based scent.
