Hot Process Soap 1

Here is the process for Hot Process Soapmaking. I use a little water discount, but not as much as for Cold Process. Mixed all oils to heavy trace in Slow Cooker. Now time to cook on high for...we will see.

New Fragrance Time

This spring we are bringing back some favorites... Sweet Magnolia, Mom's Gardenias, Honeysuckle and Coconut. Pink Grapefruit is a new one for soap. It has the exotic warmth of grapefruit with a touch of sweetness. I will use essential oil, so the scent will be true.

Snow days

Snow in the south. Not a common thing. Schools close, stores run out of milk and it gets yucky. Anywhere up north, just another snow day. But its special... The dog freaks because he has not walked in snow, people just drive crazy and kids and grownups get to throw snowballs. The Market closed so it was a day working at home.
