When I bought this fragrance, which it is one of the best fragrances I have smelled to date, I knew that it would discolor to either beige or light brown. So I decided I would not add any colorants. I also wanted to do flowers for decoration, but rather than putting them on the top… Continue reading Verbena Flowers Soap
Christmas went by and I did not get to make a soap with the frankincense and myrrh fragrance I had bought! I realized this early in January, and then I thought, well, the Three kings day is around the corner, and frankincense and myrrh is what they actually brought, so why not make it now?… Continue reading Three Wise Men Soap
I made this soap last year (it sounds like such a long time ago when you say that even if it is only January) for a friend whose birthday was in December and she told me she liked this fragrance. I had bought 1 lb of this fragrance earlier because it is one of my… Continue reading Apple Cinnamon Soap

It has good marbling, can I grill it?" However, the fragrance was soooo goood… Continue reading Peppermint Soap
This was supposed to be a soap where I got to try my alkanet oil infusion as a colorant. However, my fragrance oil had different plans. I used Merlot Wine from Bulk Apothecary and I got the darkest brown discoloration to date, which tells me it must have a vanilla content of at least 9%,… Continue reading Wine Fragrance Soap
One of my earliest memories (as in earliest in life) is the one of waking up, in the same room as my mom and my youngest brother (he was baby#5 and I was #4) and seeing two baby bottles on the cabinet top with warm milk. One was brown because it had chocolate, and the… Continue reading Salvadoran Cocoa and Coffee Soap
