What soapy thing have you done today?

[Jersey Girl]

So beautiful!

I was wondering if you need to warm or wet the soap before adding the M&P rose and petals so they stick better?

i just melted some base and used it like glue. it seems ok but I'm sure it could be knocked off pretty easily

Yeah, I love your #soapingiscoping tag! It often crosses my mind when I'm having a rough day and daydreaming of my next soapy project to bring down my stress!

I cut my Easter (sort of) themed soap. I think I did a decent job on the design and except for the yellow being a bit brighter than I wanted, I like the colours.

Gorgeous! What did you use for the colours? I always have the problem that my yellow is not bright enough...

I call this one "The 70s Are Calling." And I didn't hear any Barry White whispering.

Official new strategy for my racing mind when i cant fall asleep, works well! Plan soap making in my head. This has been helping me a few times recently when I had a lot on my mind or was anxious. Give the old grey matter something to work on, but that is relaxing. Anybody else do this?

Doesn't everyone do this?!

Ok, I woke up NOT in a soap funk. In fact, I woke up at 5:45 and said to myself, "Lisa, you are going to make a fancy batch of soap today for FUN." It was a rough week.

Thank you, @amd and @KimW for your encouragement yesterday!

Get a pen and notebook as well, and write those ideas down!! I have my pen and pad with me at all times, and anytime an idea comes to me I write it down, and then, time permitting, try to elaborate on that idea. It helps as well, and then there's no fear of forgetting a great idea!!

Calling dibs on first shirts available! bahaha I got through so much crap in my life when I started making soap.

Lotions were successfully made last night. Continuing with sugar scrubs this weekend. It will be a week+ before I get back to soap.

The hashtag I use on IG is #soapingforsanity similar sentiments. I’m a M, btw.

New soap dough recipe is good so far, except the black with AC is a tiny bit dry and crumbly. Hopefully it still worked, but it may be worth it to get some black oxide or mica.
Did a practice loaf with layers and embeds. Hoping that the layers will let me be more precise with my embed placement. Otherwise they tend to float around. Hoping my crumbly black still makes a good solid design. The ultrasound says my lump is probably a cyst. And, I found yet another FO from NS that I love! Avalon, smells like apples and magic. It behaved really well.

I can’t remember what I’m supposed to do tomorrow, but I can’t forget my soaping ideas!
An idea notebook is pretty interesting though. I keep fairly detailed notes on my soaps I actually make. Except just now I made a batch of soap and refused to write down anything. Basic ingredients were prepped, and the rest I was just in the moment. We. Shall. See...

I had small amounts of dragons blood, nag champa, and patchouli rain leftover so I mixed them all together and made this beauty today. There's a drop swirl under there. I'll call it "The Smoke Room"

 

[Arimara]

I'm recovering from the first round of PT and debating which of these FO samples I should try second. I bought Garden Mint and Cucumber, Green Clover and Aloe, NG Cotton and Blossom, NG Vanilla Sandalwood, Blue Agave, and 4 Leaf Clover. I might test them in that order since I don't think I like the first one OOB (so sweet).

TashaBird I must of missed something' anyhow glad your lump is probably a cyst. I'd like to try that FO. Its hard to find an apple scent that smells good. IMHO.
