About Andee

Director of Happiness. I'm a thirty-something soap snob. I've grown up with handmade soaps, and I love them! I really like making lotions, soaps, and perfumes.

Today I am going to demonstrate the Chunky Bath Fizzy recipe with a twist. The Chunky Bath Fizzies recipe has been in our Recipes section for a long time. Since I’ll focus on an old recipe, with new pictures, what was old is now new again. Don’t overlook the Recipes […]
