When a year ends, it is popular in the churches I have attended in the past, to have a ”word” for the new year. Something like ”stronger”, or ”determined”. Personally, I do not recall embracing it usually, but if I had to, this year the word would be ”purge”. I have found myself in a… Continue reading Flamingos Soap
The beginning of the year is the time I make Valentine themed soaps and rose soaps are usually one of them. Usually I make rose embeds to be placed on the top such as in here and here or here. Mainly because rose fragrances cause acceleration of the soap batter (it thickens up really fast),… Continue reading Rose embed Soap
I love the scent of coffee, and I make sure to always have this fragrance in stock. The flavor of coffee?? Not so much, I am not a coffee drinker, to the surprise of most caffeine addicts, I mean, coffee drinkers around me. I find it ironic, considering I am from El Salvador, and coffee… Continue reading Coffee hearts and Feathers Soap
When I was kid, I remember watching this show, and I liked it a lot. The show was apparently done to promote the sale of a doll (Barbie like), so it only lasted 3 years. However, according to this article, it has developed a cult following (not literal cult, of course) throughout the world. Most… Continue reading Jem and the Holograms Soap
I made this soap for the November challenge from the soap making forum. The challenge was a good motivation to test an idea I had, of making a layered soap without actually making the layers and instead, I used dividers like those for a Taiwan swirl. Except that the dividers would be closer together. And… Continue reading Making Rainbow soap with dividers (not layered)
This year I wanted to do a something different to the gingerbread man soap I have done in the past. So I went with a gingerbread girl instead. When making the gingerbread man in the past, I have found that adding all the details with soap dough is very time consuming. So this time I… Continue reading Gingerbread girls soap
I do not have many stories relating stockings by the fireplace. Fireplaces were something I used to see only in movies, since the tropical weather of El Salvador makes them unnecessary, and we were never encouraged to believe in Santa Claus so we never hung any stockings anywhere. However, my husband has a story that… Continue reading Fireplace Soap
So, I recently got into tiktok. Before, I had zero interest in it, because I thought it was all about people (mostly girls) dancing provocatively as they follow a popular dance routine. And yes, it is about that; if that is what you choose to watch, or what you choose in your preferences. However, I… Continue reading Nativity Soap

This year I wanted to revisit the Sugar Plum Fairy Soap I had made in 2019, but with a different ballerina embed. In keeping with the color of sugarplums (a candy that does not necessarily have plums in it), I also used purple Brazilian clay as a colorant, but I was not very happy how… Continue reading Ballerina Soap
