Only 2 left!

Last week I set aside 2 bars of my new Citrus Mint soap and listed them on Etsy. As of this weekend I have completely sold out of all the other bars from this batch, so get yours before these last 2 are gone! They are only available online but I will refund your shipping costs if you can pick them up in person.

Don't miss out!

Now Available: Citrus Mint soaps

Now curing...

Here it is, folks. My first semi-successful attempt at cold process swirling. I made this batch of intoxicating spearmint-rosemary essential oil soap using Mission Peak's Mold and SoapQuick (pre-mixed oil blend) so I wouldn't have to worry too much about measuring and mixing the ingredients while I focused on getting the timing and the trace just right for swirling. I've still got lots of practicing to do, but I think this first batch came out pretty well! Plus, my new apartment has been smelling GREAT because of this baby.


After about 2 days, I unmolded and cut the big loaf (above) into bars. These guys need to cure for about 6 weeks and they'll be ready to use/sample/sell on August 1st.


Also curing: my less successful attempt at swirling in a Citrus Mint (fragrance oil) scent. It came out looking layered because I missed the proper trace window and it was too thick to produce a real swirl. These guys are almost ready and I polished them up and hand bevelled them last week. Look out for them to hit my Etsy shop on July 15th!
