Love

This is my first Valentine soap.  I will be making several more because my friend, Betty, visits the nursing home every week and we are going to fix some for the little ladies for Valentines's Day.  That will be so much fun.  I love a project.  

I'm so grateful the Lord has blessed me with a hobby that I can use to bless others.  I don't know who gets the biggest blessing me or the person getting a bar of soap.  I think....me.  :)

Midnight Rose

Boy this soap is primo if I do say so myself.  It is scented with essential oils of rose geranium, spike lavender, 40-42 lavender and lemon grass.

This is my tallow recipe and the essential oils tried to rice so next time I make this eo blend I will use my recipe "All the Things I Love", that I used the first time.  I love the IPS with the activated charcoal and pink.  Very happy with this soap and it is going to Gina's for gifts for her little old ladies.  Happy dance.

Four Thieves Essential Oil Soap

This soap came out so smooth and creamy.  It is a goat milk, oatmeal and honey soap using the Four Thieves blend of essential oils.  This soap is for Jane.  A late Christmas present since I didn't get my oils in time but she will enjoy it when it is ready.  

I used a small amount of the blend because I know that cinnamon bark and clove oil are very strong.  I will test in about 30 days and then if it needs more next time I will change recipe.

The Four Thieves blend includes the essential oils of:

34% clove bud
30% lemon
16% cinnamon
12% eucalyptus
8% rosemary

This will be a soap that I make over and over since it is the only soap Jane uses.

Sassy Lady

I made fancy oatmeal, milk and honey.  I scented it with two different rose scents, Fresh Cut Rose, Cannibas Rose and Lavender fragrance oil instead of essential oil.  It smells very nice.  I was going to do a pink swirl to complement the rose buds and decided to try and darken the pink with a tiny bit of activated charcoal.  Well, activated charcoal goes a long way so I got a nice black but I like it.  It is a deep rich black and so along with the rose buds on top, I sprinkled lavender buds.  I have some very nice organic lavender that I use just for the tops of my soaps that smells wonderful.

This is a full goat milk straight from the farm along with desert honey and colloidal oatmeal.  I think this soap is primo if I do say so myself.  I will be remaking this one.
