Soap

Yesterday I made a Huckleberry soap. Today I will be using the same recipe but with an increased percentage of the Huckleberry Fragrance Oil. The soap smells so wonderful I want to go find a berry patch and spend the day grazing. 🙂 Just be careful using this soap in […]

The other day Tina asked me to make two soaps using our Huckleberry Fragrance Oil. She wanted me to record my temperatures, time it took to trace and which one I thought smelled better. I couldn’t wait to get started. I love Huckleberries. A local wood fired oven pizzeria has […]

When I was in school, growing up here in Cache Valley, we would always cover some part of the valley’s history. Some of the stories I have not been able to forget. Ask any local here the story of Old Ephraim and you will be sat down to hear this […]

Birthdays are exciting and there is nothing as wonderful as a good birthday celebration. I wanted to make a soap that said all of that and more. I wanted a soap that remind the user of a party every time they use it. I decided to make a swirled soap […]

Last summer I was requested to make scent blend that was masculine, woodsy and clean smelling. After testing several scent blends I finally was able to make a blend that suited the recipient. The blend includes Siberian Fir Needle Essential Oil, Egyptian Musk Fragrance Oil and Lavender Fleur (type) Fragrance […]

As many of you know, I adore lemons. A great pick me up fruit if ever I have seen one. I would love to have a bright yellow colored soap scented with lemon but the yellow oxide doesn’t cut it. It isn’t bright like I want it to be. I […]

Coral. What can you say about coral? I wasn’t expecting a color change (and I didn’t get one), but I didn’t expect to fall in love with the color either. It made a bright sassy orange that I am just dying to swirl with. This is a soap with some […]

I was excited to test the Ruby Oil Soluble Lip Color. I have been dreaming of a strong true red that isn’t a dye so you can make swirls with it and it will not bleed. I really thought the Ruby color would be it. I am sad to say […]

The first color I tested in soap was the White Oil Soluble Color. I expected that the soap would be white in color and I wasn’t very surprised. It was white in color. Come with me to the kitchen to find out how to achieve this color. I used our […]

When I made the soap with the Blue Oil Soluble Color, I ran into a couple of surprises. First when the color was added the soap turned a blue color. Then it turned a murky grey then a bright pink. I nearly dropped the immersion blender! I poured the soap […]

I always think that black soaps are stunning. They are bold and demand to be noticed. My biggest challenge was deciding on a fragrance that I wanted in a black soap. I finally decided on Eastern Amber. This fabulous scent seems even more musky and sensual in a black soap. […]
