Frankenstein!

Woooohhh seeeee myyyy creaaaation! :-o Hehe I'm kidding, here's my new soap. I thought I'd try out the soap ball embeds. The balls are made from a batch that almost failed but I saved it and made balls from it ^_^ Click on the picture above to watch the youtube video of me cutting it. In the video I use my brand new soap cutter (read dough scraper) to slice my nice even slices. I'm so happy with it, it really makes a difference to the look of the soap. I hated my wonkey slices hehe. The embeds are scented with a creamy floral fragrance while the main part of the soap is a mixture of fragrances I put together. Overall it's a clean, refreshing unisex scent with a bit of spice that I adore and can't wait to make again.

I'm sorry I've been slow on the posting but I blame it on the mail as my supplies seemed to take forever to arrive. I'm still waiting on my potassium hydroxide at the moment but I'm sure that will arrive early next week and the posts can start rolling again, yay ^_^ So I'll say bye for now and I'll be back soon with more, enjoy the video :D

Queen of Hearts Massage Bars

My new molds arrived today and so I just had to try my new massage bar recipe. Here they are my queen of hearts massage bars, named so because of the red and gold, the colours seem royal hehe. I am one of those people that love love love glitter ^_^I think glitter's a bit like marmite; you either love it or hate it. I'm not so pleased with the fragrance though, again I tried to blend my own but this time I don't like it. That's ok though this was more of a test batch. Tonight I'll be ordering some new fragrances and I'll keep my cheeky hands from trying to blend them :D Adding the shea butter really made a difference, they melt a lot faster and feel less like a lotion bar and more 'massagey'. I think I'll be playing with the oils part of the recipe next. By the way these are vegan, like all the products I make. They are made with almond wax, not beeswax. Almond wax is great for your nails, an awesome two way treat; your loved one gets a massage and you get a treat for your kind hands ^_^
