This was my soap for the Winter Collaboration called Wonderland. The requisites were to use white, glitter and milk! I decided to use coconut milk and add it at trace. Usually I add milk (if I am using it) to the water phase, in frozen form to avoid the lye burning the sugars of the… Continue reading Christmas Scene soap
**This soap will be available in the store on 9/6/19 if you want to grab a bar** When making this soap, I came to the realization this might be my last time putting fruit in soap.

It sounded very British to me, and… Continue reading Tea Party Soap
When I was told the name of this collaboration, Summer Sunshine, my mind immediately went to the song "You are my sunshine". It is one of my favorite songs.

Orange and vanilla happen to be one of my favorite fragrances and flavors. I bought this fragrance from Lone Star Candle Supply and I had yet to try it. It is on the subtle spectrum, but it does smell very nice. It does discolor a lot, so I did not make any big plans for… Continue reading Dreamsickle Soap
