I'm making soap!

Although I haven't been hitting my blog station much this summer I have not been idle!  My soap adventure at the beach has blossomed into something that I have really been working on.

When we first dabbled in 'soap at the beach' it opened a door that I hadn't even considered before.  Making soap wasn't as easy as cooking is for me.  When I cook I see what ingredients I have on hand or see the name of a dish and then I just create.  Not so with soap!  You need  to follow certain guidelines ~ Especially when you are using essential oils.  Blending fragrances takes practice, learning which notes blend well with one another & figuring out how not to add too much or too little to your base.  I feel that I will be an amateur for a long time, but I am gaining confidence with each new soap that I develop.

I am confident enough of my ability so far to launch a line of soaps that I will be marketing locally and in the near future online.  Here is a Sniff of what I've been up to!
