This is one of my latest creations. This soap smells so good. I wanted to create a scent just for the men. This one can be used by the entire family. My initial goal with this blend was to create a swirl effect. As you can see that didn't happen! Although it is a two-tone blend. Back to the drawing board for me! My motto is to never give up.
I have been making natural soaps for just over a year now. My first blend was hilarious! I had to throw the batch in the trash. All I could think about was how much money I had just wasted for the ingredients that went into that batch. It took me about a week to try it aagain. My thoughts immediately went to the melt and pour bases. I told myself that I could not give up and to jump back it. Stop waiting, just do it. During that same time I met this lady who was into natural soapmaking. She gave me her number and told me to give her a call if I needed help. Well, I did! I called her to get directions to her place, loaded up the car and the rest is history.
My second batch was highly successful with the help of Minka Weaver. From that point on I had everything under control. Or so I thought. My creativity had stifled. Now I wanted to learn the hot process method using a crockpot. Here comes the jitters! The first batch turned out okay and I was happy. I accomplished another goal. Now here we are once again, learning the swirl technique and coloring natural soap. Keep trying, right! That's what I intend to do.
Blessings, 'til we meet again!!
