Embeds with soap dough
For the first two years of my soap making journey (2017-2018) I did not get any DOS (dreaded orange spots). I had read about them, and I had seen other people’s experiences with it, and I thought myself special that I didn’t have any. Until one day, I started to notice that a soap of mine… Continue reading My soap is yellowing
I have only made soap with goat's milk a handful of times. I made this one at the request of someone who really likes Goat milk soap. She also wanted lots of colloidal oatmeal in the soap and honey. I knew I had to freeze the goat milk ahead of time, so I did. I… Continue reading Goat milk, oats and honey Soap
When a year ends, it is popular in the churches I have attended in the past, to have a ”word” for the new year. Something like ”stronger”, or ”determined”. Personally, I do not recall embracing it usually, but if I had to, this year the word would be ”purge”. I have found myself in a… Continue reading Flamingos Soap
This year I wanted to do a something different to the gingerbread man soap I have done in the past. So I went with a gingerbread girl instead.

It smells just like pineapple, or pineapple candy, and has stayed very strong in the soap after 6 weeks. Pineapple is one of my favorite fruits to eat; however I cannot eat more than a couple… Continue reading Pineapple soap
My favorite character from the little prince book is the fox. I like foxes in general, a couple years ago I tried making a fox figurine. I was going to buy it, but the one that I liked the most was too pricey (for me) and I did not care for the antique look of… Continue reading The fox from The Little Prince Soap
When a soap does not turn out as expected, I usually end up embellishing it. Lately I have had a lot of soap design fails, especially when experimenting with pull screen discs. So I have gotten to practice my post decorating skills a lot. It is actually very easy. Especially if you have soap dough… Continue reading Embellishing Soap
In last week video (the design fail) I sneaked a koala embed with a Santa hat. He was originally part of this Koala soap loaf but there was not room for him there. (I like to make extras just in case). So here is the rest of the gang. This soap is scented with a… Continue reading Koala Soaps
I am not a coffee drinker (I have tried to become one, but to no avail). However, I like making coffee soap. And this is the first time I am blending the Coffee Beans fragrance with Vanilla and Spice, to make it a sort of fall theme soap. I usually do not make fall themed… Continue reading Pumpkin Coffee Soap
