I’ve had several people ask me to please make my lip balm again, so I ordered all the oils and butters I need. I have all the caps, shrink wraps, labels, etc that I need in my old supplies except the tubes. I always forget something🤦🏻‍♀️

Last of this batch of oils. I love this part of soap making💗

Sandalwood, Birchwood Oud and a Bergamot/Black Tea blend, popped out of their molds and onto their boards and to the drying rack. I can’t even describe how good my kitchen smells. 💗💗💗

Three new batches of soap wrapped up tight for the night Thursday night. Six loaves, 21 lbs of goodness. One batch of Sandalwood, one of a Bergamot/Black Tea blend and a new scent that I’m obsessed with, Birchwood Oud. They’ve finally cooled enough to pop out of their molds and onto the drying rack. Then hopefully, I can get 3 more made today. 💗

I got a text message at 5:28 am that my new oils ,to make soap with, had dispatched from the Statesville UPS center. I’ve waited all day for them to come in and here the doorbell rings at 6:30 pm. I’m going to get 3 batches started real quick before dinner. Excited to try several new ones 💗

Ordered oils tonight💗

This Oatmeal, Milk and Honey will be ready to go in a couple of weeks. I usually only put oatmeal on the top but this one has it all throughout. With all this cold weather, this one is extra moisturizing. I also added an extra dash of raw silk, since it’s winter and all.
The Moroccan Mint will be ready at the same time. I’ve been making soap for 12 years and 4 years ago I tried this mint. I’ve never looked back, never, and you won’t either. It’s the most perfect “wake up” soap, and y’all know I hate mornings.

Haven’t used my Soap Alley page since 2016!!! Oh my! I thought I had just taken a couple of years off but damn! I’m sorry guys! I’m trying to slide back into it with baby steps. Be patient with me and I’ll have lots of new spring and summer scents soon. I’m happy to be back in my creative place💗
