What soapy thing have you done today?

[Stacyspy]

Pepperberry I'm kinda proud of this one...

K, if someone called me the "Julia Child of soapmaking" it would make me feel all happy inside. And think I had good taste in bf's

 

[galaxyMLP]

I didn't even know he knew who Julia Child was! He just kinda popped that one right out there!! I guess he appreciated how I explained everything in the process? It was very rewarding. I've never shown someone how to make soap before today.

I think he's pretty great and I hope that everyone finds someone that makes them smile like he makes me!

Badedas is a thick green yellow bubble bath, or was in the 80s. I love the smell. It has some brown things on the bottle like chestnuts but I think your description of the smell sounds exactly like how I remember. That's why it reminded me of fenjal, another 80's throwback that I love the scent of even more. Wouldn't mind me some badedas though. I wonder if it is no longer on sale if they are selling the fragrance under the actual badedas name.

The sale was only on 1 oz samples that too only if you pick 20 different scents.
Since I'm so new to FOs and didn't know what types I would like, I selected 3 such packs.
Rustic escentuals has it under that same exact name, otherwise I would've never known that. I saw that their FOs mostly are in the range of 16-20$ a pound, which I think is very reasonable, although I'm not sure what the shipping terms/fees would be to ship to EU.

I cut 2 soaps. One BB nag champa with a drop swirl and one NG Seaside with a tiger stripe. I think I figured out my problem with my silicone molds. I put the Seaside bar on a heating pad, covered it with a box and set it to high. Not sure if it gelled, but it definitely was ready to come out and cut. I'll have to try it with the t&s wsp mold and see if that helps.

My husband is used to seeing my plain Jane soap. I put a little more natural color across the top and a few oats. I cut it and put it on the counter. He thought I made cheesecake. The man obviously needs to wear his glasses, but I decided to mess with his appetite and put a bunch of soap on the cake stand. When I bake muffins, banana bread, etc. I pile stuff up on the cake plate.

I cut two new soaps....a shampoo bar with amla and Brahmi added for conditioning (brown bar) and an acne soap with charcoal, bentonite clay and tea tree essential oil(black and tan). I tried to do a yin yang with the Black and Tan but it set up too quick on me. all in all so far I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out....getting impatient on waiting to use them....but I'll wait at least 5 weeks to use them.

 

[Viore]

I actually can see the yin-yang effect you were going for. I love how that looks! Good job!

Thank you so much

Made a batch of shaving croap/soap today. Now that my son has been converted over to wet-shaving (and away from the electric razor), my hubby's croap stash all of a sudden started growing rather sparse. lol Scented it with Barbershop 1920's from Rustic Escentuals, and it smells awesome.

Rebatched in the micro about 3lbs of soap that was gifted to me that had become an oily mess for a friend. If I ever decide to do rebatch seriously I'll need a much bigger microwave.

Did scent tests of some save on scents tiny vials I got and in a new (to me) recipe... several accelerated badly (sheesh)...so now my garage smells like a combo of downy (one of the scents), pine tar (still curing), and coconut cream that was microwaved...my nose is confused.

One loaf of pumpkin beer insulated. Wrapped a semi failed coffee scrub bar. I excorsized the failed layer so they're not the prettiest. I debated selling them and then decided to put them out there dirt cheap and try a different look for the next go around.

 

[nsmar4211]

Mixed up two batches of a new recipe to test. One in individual molds, one in a log mold. Putting off updating my notebook

I plan on making 5 batches of soap tonight after work. Need to restock a lot of my regulars. Had a big show this weekend and just about out of several of my top sellers.

 

[amymisha]

I made two batches. One has Tobacco Caramel FO and the other is based on the Milk Carton Mica Bars recipe from Soap Crafting, with a few changes. (Different colored mica, coconut FO).

And I froze another quart of goat milk to make a honey oatmeal goat milk batch this weekend. I have waaaay too much goat milk. Have to use it up!

 

[IrishLass]

I haven't made it just yet, but I have all my ingredients weighed out and my mold prepared for an experimental 1.2 lb. beeswax and honey soap. I'm using 3% beeswax as part of my oils amount, 5% honey ppo, and I'm scenting it with Peak's Wild Mountain Honey @ .3oz ppo. No colorants- I don't want to complicate things any more than they already are. lol I feel like I want to say, 'Cover me- I'm going in!'

I keep smelling my pumpkin ale bars. Made a bunch of herb infused teas and brainstormed two soap requests I got over the weekend - a lady asked for citronella soap (she likes the smell not for skeeters) and my bf wants a pb chocolate cup soap.

 

[KristaMarie]

Cut and tested these bars made with cab sauv. Not sure what the deal is with all the lighter spots, but I'm pleased with the color (madder root). I was afraid it would lather pink and be too scratchy at the amount I used, but so far, so good!

 

[skayc1]

weighed oils for two batches of soap to make tomorrow.
