So I'm all clean and feeling very pampered. I like this stuff. A better bathtub faucet might get me more bubbles but it bubbled up quite nicely and I feel nice and soft.
What soapy thing have you done today?

Nothing soap today but I am making baby bum butter
Pineapple Cilantro in the mold and at my gelling station. I'll miss it when the fire goes out for the season! Scent is from Tamera, and it is just delightful. It discolors a bit but I work with it.

I made a soap yesterday using pineapple and cilantro from BB//I liked it but it smells real sweet (kinda sicky sweet) it did smell like pineapple. did your scent smell real sweet too? your loaf looks nice!!
I remain fascinated and in love with that deep maroon color. How did you get it?
I hear you. I've got a34 year old son that lives with us. He works but is socially awkward. Basically he's a useful recluse.... So I make soap. He did build me a wonderful soap room though... He's a good boy.
I don't think it's too sweet, and it does smell like pineapple. Here is a picture of the discoloration from my last batch. I used TD to get that creamy tan.
INDEED ... a most wonderful soap room, it is!!
Sorry, I had to quote this to get the picture to upload.

We have one of those too - he's my partner's son. He spent the ENTIRE DAY yesterday (Sunday) in his bedroom. Came out to eat dinner, then went back in.
Reinbeau - love the soap! Colours look perfect for the fragrance.

@reinbeau I like the colors despite the discoloration
I cut leftovers from yesterday's brownie soap into thin small squares. Will probably shred the thicker ones for more confetti soap, but I tried a really thin one and it's good for about 3 hand washes.
Inspired by the monthly challenge here when I was new, I now have travel soaps hehehe
I'm just hoping no one mistakes them for those thin chocolate mints and puts one in their mouth lol
I have a teenage version lol

Awesome! At least we know real leaves will work with some effort. Love your leaves and flowers! Are the rest from a mold? Excited to see what you do with them.

I have for baking, not sure I want to tackle it for soapmaking. This time around I portioned out the buttermilk to small batch quantities, labeled it and threw it in the freezer so at least next time I fail to make soap I'm only wasting 4oz rather than a full quart.
I did make my soap this weekend and got most of my behind the scenes stuff done. I'll cut the soap today and post pics later. It turned out to be a bear of a soap as I had forgotten the FO accelerates, but it worked out for the design. I just wasn't mentally prepared for it.
Looks good! The mould leaves have nice detail and shape, and the sunflowers are super cute.
I haven't done anything soapy today.... yet..... but I will later on, sort of.... I'll be ordering some stuff to make the solid dish soap detergent/paste that Mischief made the other day.
Sorry for the hijack, but wow!!! Your Ellie looks just like our TiTi (short for Nefertiti), one of the 2 family dogs we had when I was growing up. Titi was part Basenji. We also had her bother from the same litter, named Tut (my mom who named them was obsessed with everything Egypt, lol). Tut looked exactly like Titi, only he had black markings on his head that gave him a Dracula look. Tut was 'my' dog, if you know what I mean.
I'll have to do some digging, but I'll see if I can possibly find a pic or 2 and post them elsewhere and tell a little about the story of how they became part of our family (it was very interesting). They both have been gone over the Rainbow Bridge, as they say, for years now.

What soapy thing have you done today? I made these 2 batches. <3 Red and gray is Sandalwood & Blood Orange, and the blue swirl is Peppermint & Ruby Red Grapefruit. <3 (Sorry for the "great" pic quality on the first one. It ended up spilling in transport.) Inerestingly, both came from the same recipe, but were mixed at different temps. Is that why one was fluid and the other was thicker (able to mound up)?
Anyhow, thanks for looking!

Those look good! Temps play a big part, so that's probably it, also fragrances.
I got everything ready for beer soap. Hoping to get it done this afternoon.
I am really loving do swirls these days. The cut of Pineapple Cilantro
