Unicorn soap

When I do face painting ( weekends gigs), one of my most requested designs from little girls is a unicorn. I have painted so many that I might be able to paint it with my eyes closed! So I thought it would be good to make a unicorn soap as well. Last time I made… Continue reading Unicorn soap

Cinnamon Rolls Soap

About once a year I get a craving for a cinnamon roll from Cinnabon. (I do not dare making them myself as I believe me capable of eating an entire batch, like I have proven I can do with Brazilian cheese bread.) Earlier this year, I got a different kind of craving, I wanted to… Continue reading Cinnamon Rolls Soap

Breakfast Soaps

These are some soaps I made earlier this Spring, inspired by a pop tart I was eating. Something I try not to do often. It was not until a few years ago that I realized how many calories pop tarts have! Sometimes ignorance is indeed bliss. When I was younger I did not have to… Continue reading Breakfast Soaps

Peach Cobbler Soap

Peach cobbler is a popular dessert in the South. There are two ways to make it, one resembles a pie, with a pie crust on top. And another looks like a cake. This latter one is my favorite version. It is usually served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and that was the inspiration… Continue reading Peach Cobbler Soap

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

Pistachio Macaron Soap

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

Peaches and Cream Cold Process 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
