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 is inspired in my husband's mustache, I guess now it is a tribute to it, since it is gone! Have you ever felt like you are the pretty one in your relationship? Not that your significant other one is not attractive, but because of the dresses, and make up, and hairdos, you are… Continue reading Mustache Soap
Seashells on the beach I have been in the hunt for a coconut fragrance early since I made my first soap. I have found several that are good, but not good enough to make me want to get more of them. The main problem has been either acceleration or discoloration. The one I used for… Continue reading Sea Shell 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. There is nothing wrong with it if you do, and nothing negative has occurred from me putting purées in… Continue reading Snow White soap
Last year, I read the story of the Wizard of Oz, to get details for my Soap called Emerald City Reading that inspired me to read other story tales, which also lead to the Cinderella Soap. Eventually I came to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and I was truly enchanted by it. I found it funny… Continue reading Alice in Wonderland Soap

The listed vanillin content is 9%, so I thought this would get really dark. However, it seems I may not have used enough. Here is Brambleberry's fragrance calculation for… Continue reading Golden Roses Soap
I was having a hard time choosing the colors for this soap, and at last the inspiration came from the cover of the book I had started reading / listening to: I will write more about this fascinating book below, but for now I will focus in the soap: I liked that the color scheme… Continue reading Stormy Clouds Soap and my Soap is crumbly
***For the recipe, scroll down for it or click here for the video*** I felt like painting with soap recently, and once again, I turned to Vincent Vang Gogh for inspiration. I had previously done soap versions of his Almond Blossoms and his famous Starry Night. So this time, I went with his sunflower paintings. He… Continue reading Sunflowers Soap
You may have seen a previous post of the making of lapis lazuli out of soap dough. If you have not, here is a link. I got to use those embeds in this soap, which I did not color except for a small portion. The recipe got thick fast (a combination of hard oils and… Continue reading Lapis Lazuli 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. I heard it for the first time while watching Star Trek with my husband a few years ago. I know the song is older, but I… Continue reading The little prince soap
