October 2020 In 2019 I made a youtube collaboration with Renee from Soaps for love and she was kind enough to send me one of the soaps she made with it. I was happy to see my embed in her soap, but what I was really fascinated by was by the fragrance of her soap.… Continue reading Orange Marmalade Cake Soap
I have had the opportunity to taste the largest strawberry shortcake in the world. You can see it (the shortcake) in a video here, or a picture here. The year was 2009 and we had visited the Pasadena Strawberry festival with my sisters, then boyfriend (now hubby) and my nephew and niece. I remember getting… Continue reading Strawberry shortcake Soap
I live in one of the largest cities in America, which means that for most of my work life I have had a long commute. Something that made my commute bearable, was joining a Vanpool at my previous job. The concept is simple, a few people get together, rent a van, split the cost and… Continue reading Peacock Soap in Column Mold

I always welcome an excuse to eat Pringles for the sake of using the can… Continue reading Purple Flowers Soap
Men Soap I remember that when I was a kid, my brother had a girlfriend who was studying design or something that was art related. It could have been a different person, but that is the most plausible explanation for now. What I remember very well is the assignment she had completed, and she showed… Continue reading Ombré Tiger swirl Soap
Succulents I signed up for a business coaching group last year and in one of the video sessions they talked about Enneagram types. I decided to get a book from the library about it and I thought it was interesting. The book (The Road Back to you) describes each number of the Enneagram types so… Continue reading Succulent soaps and Enneagram number
When I was younger, like high school age, I attended a vocational school that allowed me to take high school classes at the same time as technical Bilingual secretarial studies. A vital part of the uniform were nude color pantyhose’s and shoes with a small heel. I remember the pantyhose’s being annoying, and they would… Continue reading Fishnet stockings soap and soap stenciling
When we were kids, my dad would sometimes take us to the ice cream store on a weekend, in El Salvador. We were five children, so it was a fun outing. The name of the store was Pops, and one of my favorite ice creams flavors, besides chocolate, was pistachio. You could say I have… Continue reading Pistachio Macaron Soap
