A Nameless, Green Soap

Green is the color of life! The color of success! The color of most of my soaps, lol! If you haven't figured it out by now, green is my favorite color-jade, emerald, peridot, lime, pistachio, mint, booger...

BEHOLD:  My latest green clean: ummm, I have no witty name yet:(

It's scented in lemongrass and sage, and I sprinkled the top with cut lemongrass. I'm so ig'nant: I thought lemongrass was yellow and smelled like lemons-DUH! It's grass, HELLO!! It's very sweet and fresh-smelling. I loves it! Okay, I know I'm not the only one with a DUH moment. I'm not ashamed to admit that the light bulb flickers sometimes...

UPDATE: I've decided to name this delight Splendor In The Grass...

Think Color For Spring!

I am so ready for warmer weather I can hardly stand it! My sister Myia and I have been talking about our weight loss efforts and being able to wear form-fitting clothes and going somewhere that would require a DARE I SAY IT: bathing suit!

All this talk of springtime and has gotten me to start thinking about color. Spring is always associated with pastels and watercolors, but I'm thinking bold, rich, jewel tones for spring-emerald, amethyst, ruby, citrine, aquamarine, and tourmaline. I've been ordering some very unique fragrance oils for my spring soap collection, and I've chosen the scents based on the colors I envision for them. I'm going for eye-popping color like that green tea soap I made a few weeks ago. With that means I'll be offering very few vanilla-based scents because we know what happens: They all turn brown! I've already made two brown soaps, and if I can help it, that's it!

So, what are your spring plans?
