Hi
I need to make room for my Christmas tree and I will be to busy to make soap now until Christmas is over. Also I have been 🏷 labeling all my soap since yesterday got half done.
That's the exact recipe I use, and I could totally swirl mine - but I don't because it looks so pretty plain ( it's one of the few plain soaps i make)
I've never swirled and it's on my bucket list of new things to try that I'm totally terrified of doing/ruining. Lol.
Lol that's funnyI'm practicing lining a log mold with wax paper and parchment paper to see which one is easier. I'm itching to make log soap that I can learn to hand cut to the point I think I'm not even going to wait for my silicone mold to arrive. I just modified an empty graham cracker box when I realized the dimensions will make the exact same size bars. You know you're addicted when you start measuring every box in the house.
nice can't wait to see them if you post it!
Hope you feel better soon so you can get your soapy stuff done.
That looks amazing it must of bin so fun!I had a fun “Soap Boutique” in my office yesterday for my team of wonderful ladies. I put on holiday music, played a Hallmark Yule log with animals on my computer (cute! Look it up) had Sparkling Blush Apple Cider and Hot Cocoa, and homemade shortbread cookies with chocolate drizzle for treats.
They all got 1 bar I specifically made for gifting to them, and then got to take turns picking 4 more soaps, and 1 sugar scrub.
It was super fun to let them see, smell and pick what they liked (and have been hearing about for months!).
I packed up their orders in little gifts bags and thanked them for “shopping” at my “boutique” lol.
I loved hearing their comments, oohs and ahhs, and just having fun together with my soaps.
What a blast!! Here’s a picture of my soap display.
I’d actually had him in mind when I chose those soaps to put in the box, so it made me so happy!
That soap looks beautiful, so natural and like you said, rustic. I love it. And look at those creamy bubbles, so nice.
We have public water which is somewhat hard, but nothing compared to how hard it was when we used well water before the public water came through. I am truly shocked that I can actually get bubbles with so little coconut! I didn't know it was even possible. I think I'm going to attempt my first swirl with this recipe just because it's the slowest moving recipe I've tried and currently have all the ingredients for.
Great idea!Yesterday I brought a box of various soaps to work. Only shrink wrapped, no fancy packaging or labeling. I make so much more soap than i could ever use, and I don’t sell, so I thought I’d see if anyone else wanted to try it! I didn’t know if people would think it was weird or what, but they seemed to like it! I think my favorite reaction was from my boss, who has two little girls at home. He grabbed the clear glittery unicorn soaps and said they’d be stocking stuffers.
Really lovely soap!
. Luckily, I had time to wrap most of the soap right after Thanksgiving. It sure is a slow, fiddly process. I thought I was making life easier by putting most of the soap in boxes this year, but then I printed my labels on solid sheets of label paper that I cut with a paper cutter. I may have saved a tiny tree branch, but peeling the labels off the backing was kitten love annoying.
lol. Having fun now packing it up haha!
