*sigh* I have been tried so much during the past week. It's been one thing after another around here!
.
Firstly, here's a lovely picture of some decadent swirls atop my new French Vanilla Latte Soap! Underneath, there is a hanger swirl of my natural soap base and a bit mixed with Moroccan Red Clay and some finely ground espresso.
.
The fragrance oil will discolor to a brown, so you'll get this deep chocolatey swirl in the clay layer and a slightly lighter shade in the uncolored soap. On top you have a stark white unscented soap that is going to really pop when the base soap reaches it's final color!! This soap will be great for fall and winter. Gift ideas anyone?
.
FYI -- I know you're here for soap, but feel free to stick around for my ramblings. My vent comes in the form of the fact that my camera has been acting up for a while and the entire video of the making of this awesome soap was corrupted and lost. Oh well!
.
Secondly, I wanted to make this soap sooner, but I ran out of shea butter. I ordered more a little over two weeks ago, but it was damaged in transit and turned to the sender. Things happen! The silver lining is that @bulkapothecary has excellent customer service and they sent a replacement right away.
.
My final trial was that I have been planning to make lotion since we're heading into dry skin season. I ordered some emulsion wax that somehow just got lost in transit and straight up disappeared. I got a refund and replacement, so I'll be able to do it next week.
.
None of these things are tearing the world apart, so I'm not stressing too much. I got creative and found other projects to work on! The big moral of the story is be flexible, patient, cooperative, and creative! Everything works out!!

Who here has learned to roll with the punches in their craft? ️

We had some really wild storms roll through last night and I just love listening to them and seeing the lightning. I equally love the day after a storm when there's a rainy breeze, dappled sunshine, and everything feels fresh and lively!
.
That's the exact feeling I get from this Sunshine Shampoo Bar. It smells fresh and sweet and summery. I love that you can see the little bits of turmeric and the swirls came out so well! The calendula on top just makes it so classy too.
.
Who's getting outside today and enjoying the sunshine?

Here's the cut of my first ever shave soap! I still haven't named it, but it's full of luscious oils, butters, and waxes. It also contains bentonite clay for extra slip. The scent is fresh and clean; similar to Irish Spring.
.
In honor of my 200th post, I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to everyone for being on this wild ride with me! Thanks for viewing, commenting, and following! I sincerely appreciate you all.

Soooooo woodsy and musky and deep. I just want to kayak down some rapids and go camping in the Pacific Northwest.
