When I think of bunnies I picture them being white; however, I made these ones light brown because I was inspired by the bunnies of a friend, Jen from Jen spice. She has two angora rabbits and they are tan colored. (She has more now actually) Her rabbits are very furry though, and she sometimes… Continue reading Bunny soap
I used to think that “peaches and cream” was just a flavor of oatmeal packets. It turns out it is an actual dessert consisting of peach slices and whipped cream. When I saw its namesake fragrance at Lone Star Candle Supply, I had to buy it. I love everything peach. It was here in the… Continue reading Peaches and Cream Cold Process Soap
Soap Longevity When making the recipe for this soap, I noticed recently that the lye calculator I have been using has a graph that shows you where your soap recipe stands as far as recommended values. I prefer this visual representation, by the way, to the table from most other calculators. What I noticed, actually,… Continue reading Unicorn soap and Soap Longevity
Campfire Soap I love chocolate and I love smores. There is something about a warm soft marshmallow with chocolate sandwiched in a graham cracker that is irresistible. It might be the only time when I do not mind eating a Hershey chocolate. I would prefer a less crunchy cookie though. S'mores is supposed to be… Continue reading Campfire Soap
Several years ago, I was in a women's class at church where in one session, we were encouraged to purchase a tea cup and saucer, and set time apart to drink tea, and probably read too (It was a looooong time ago, so I do not remember all!). It sounded very British to me, and… Continue reading Tea Party Soap

It was a limited release movie, that only played (or may still be playing) in some theaters. Actually, it was a double feature, animated, followed by The Reign of… Continue reading Superman Soap
Floral fragrances are not on the top of my list, but this one is, because my hubby loves it. However, it is tricky working with most floral fragrances. This is because they tend to accelerate trace and the thickening of the soap. Now, most of my soaps trace and get thick pretty fast because of… Continue reading Cherry Blossom
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
This soap could easily be a "Galaxy Soap" famous in soap making circles, if you forgo the star trek embeds. The galaxy soaps I have seen though, are usually made with soap balls, which are usually formed with soaps shavings from other projects. This one is a bit different in that regard. I wanted a… Continue reading Star Trek Inspired Soap
