I Did It! I Did It! I Did It!

For reals this time.

Nope not cheese...

not pumpkin...

Anybody who tries to tell you 

soap making is sooo easy-

is saying that because

they have already made the mistakes

had the flops and

learned the right way.

One thing I learned is that 

temperature is crucial!

This recipe has palm oil in it

which accounts for the orange color.

I'm not wild about the color,

but the soap should be really good

for our summertime skin.

I had two flop batches.

One was usable, 

one I didn't trust so pitched most of it.

At least I know two ways

not to do it:)

I need to practice 'unmolding' it.

It will be a couple weeks before

this is ready to use.

Now, I'm antsy to make another batch~

without the palm oil

and maybe with some crushed chamomile.

So try something new today.

What's the worse that can happen?

So you have to pitch a batch, or a block, or a loaf.

You will be the wiser for trying,

and you might end up with a good campfire story.

Until next time,
