Honey for my Honey

Yesterday was a very busy day for me, five batches of soap! This batch is a special batch though :D My boyfriend requested spa bars, I made them for him before and now it's the only soap he'll use for his face ^_^ I used a honey scent for these, it's a very creamy, comforting fragrance. The salt I use for my spa bars is a marine salt from Israel, it's naturally evaporated by the sun and then washed in purified salt water. This recipe is a little different to my previous bars; these are made with a much higher superfat and less salt, to make them kinder on his skin and a little more bubbly. I wonder if he'll like these ones better?

Gifts

Last night before I went to bed I was requested to make up a gift box of my products for my mum's boyfriend and today an identical one for her friend. That's the picture above, inside it has the love spell cupcakes, pumice spa soap, tangerine poppy soap, some bath melts and sugar scrubs. I also gave away one of my lavender lotions to him. To my mum's friend I gave one of the english rose lotions I made today. I've really gotten into this lotion making, I prefer the lavender to the rose, but they're both nice. I had much less trouble with decanting today hehe. I'm hoping this is going to be a good way to get feedback I'm excited to hear what they think and maybe some customers for the future if i decide to sell^_^

I also wanted to do some experimenting with my base recipe, so today I made a 1lb test batch of unscented soap. I added some gold mica and some gold glitter because I couldn't bare to leave him without any additions hehe. Took a picture of it, I think it looks pretty ^_^ so I put it here to share. This should be much bubblier than my normal recipe. I'll keep you updated, maybe take a picture of the lather. :)
