New labels, whaaaaa? Labeling is a chore but loving this new look. Only works for the solid bars; still finessing options for the other styles.

Back at it again with the summery florals this time with a sage-vetiver-citrus scent. Luuuuurve these beauties! 🧼

Brought these lovelies to the (along with a whole bunch of other goodies) and now there are only two left from the whole loaf! Can’t go wrong with the lemon-grapefruit combo in the summertime. ☀️

It’s all about florals right now, I just can’t help it. I spent the day packaging up soaps because they DO need to go onward to their future owners eventually, but I am struggling to say goodbye to some of these pretties.

It’s rainy outside today, and I can’t help but feel some gratitude for the sake of the plants. 🌱 It was a perfect day to cut these pretties, who will hit the online shop in a few weeks. Feelin’ it!

Played around with some new molds yesterday and cannot for the life of me choose a favorite. Good problem to have!

These were made with leftover soap from a Taiwan swirl loaf, so the colors are all kinds of wackadoodle, but I love them anyway.

Sometimes I intentionally make extra batter and throw it into random molds. I made the multi-color soap to plan (it’s the cut from a few photos back) and then poured the extra of each into molds I had in hand. I think I ended up liking the leftover soaps more than the planned one! Now, I aim to make a bunch of the circular soap with the stamp. Life is goofy!

She was a bit of a beast but pulled through, more or less. Tried a new recipe and had some definite highs and lows, but so much of the fun of soapmaking is in the experiment. This one is scented with lemon and sweet orange essential oils because the total mess of a batch made right before this one forced me to go in an opposite direction entirely. 😀 Sunday soaping!
