Welcome

Soap making is a fun and exciting hobby, full of trial and tribulations! When you create soap you are creating art, each one is different, never the same. An addicting hobby.... once you get started all you think about is what kind of soap to make next. This blog is about my soaping experience please enjoy!

Bath Sets

Dollarama Bath Scrunchy. I opened up the twist tie added a soap, a pumice stone, a bath bomb, bath fizzy, and bubble bar.  Twist tied it back up tied on a ribbon and stuck on one of my product labels.  Asking 30$ cdn.  I was sitting here tonight and the light bulb came on.  What a good idea instead of putting in a basket.  Thanks for looking.

Coral Reef "Deadly Weapon"

Deadly Weapon fragranced cp soap with key notes of strawberry bring this to life !  It's spicy exotic.  Remember in my last post how it riced up? Well that mistake turned into something fantastic.  That's the thing wth soap.  It does it's own thing sometimes to acheive results like this.  This piece if you look close there's a dragons head in the design.  Mistake? Very fitting.  I got 17 of them from this batch sell 7$ each

Deadly Weapon

Coral Gel Colourant love how this turned out.  Who knew soap could be so exciting? Well the answer is once you start your addicted.  This one looks like a coral reef up close because the fragrance riced up quick and I pored it fast.  So in the pot swirl is the good mistake here as it looks amazing.  Scented with Deadly weapon and strawberry fragrances from Saffire Blue it's spicy exotic. I can't wait to see it cut into bars.  Ingredients here are olive, castor, shea butter, avocado, palm, coconut.  Distill Water, Sodium hydroxide, coral gel colourant, deadly weapon and strawberry fragrance.  I made this soap to match my bubble bars made with same fragrance. 
Check my earlier posts for the bubble bars.  This is going to make a nice bath set. Smells so good!!

Soap Packaging

Saw some paper doilies in Dollorama and thought hmm I think those are pretty maybe I can figure out how to use that for wrapping soap.  And here it is and easy. I'm wrapping my Eqyptian skin repair with it.  In behind I slipped in the ingredient card.  For Christmas they kind of look like a snowy pkg.  And after Christmas I would use for a wedding favor wrap. Curl ribbon and doilies 5 bucks.

The Black Bar

Egyptian Nites Skin Repair again! My best seller. Activated charcoal is the winner here and love my stiff peaks once again.  It's my signature soap style for sure.  Love the embeds scented slightly with patchouli oil to stir the scenses within.

Bubble Bars

Not as easy as it looks.  With practice tho I can see it getting easier .  My problem was it rolling and sticking to the freezer paper. I finally got it to this and for my first attempt I'm ok with them.  They are small.  
Expensive ingredients too.  But I think you could make your money back on these for sure.  Clean up was pretty bubbly. Lol all natural ingredients:  food colour green and pink sugar based. Green and pink.  Baking soda, cornstarch, tapioca starch, cream of tarter, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, which is derived from the coconut and palm trees.  Glycerin, castor oil, warm apple cider fragrance. They are spicy smelling.  Very Christmas like to me.  For my first batch I'm pretty happy.

Townplace Suites Marriott


Today was my first craft show for quite awhile.  I have been working night and day for the last few months for this one day.  It was a huge success!  More then half of my soaps are gone and a winner of my soap basket was Milan from Longlac. A little 10 year old Hockey Player here for a tournament.  Milan and her fellow team mates kept coming back to my table to smell all the soap, so cute, and she bought a hockey puck bubblegum soap filled out the ballot and became the Big Winner !  I'm so happy it was her.  A surprised Grandmother when I called them and more excited when I dropped it off.  A great day and a successful one! My hard work paid off today.  Now I need to make more.  The Egyptian Nites Skin Repair once again "Big Seller" sold out this one I have to keep making.  Thanks to all who came out today.

Craft Show Ideas

Saw this on Pinterest:  Grab Bags.  There are three soaps in each bag .  I bundled up three to each bag a 12/15$ worth per bag.  Mostly left over odds & spots a good way to dispose of old stock .
And a contest to win this ! Have to make purchase to win ! 
And again soaps that are old stock, new ones too, candle, dish towel, soap dish, bath bombs, bath scrubbie brush.  A good idea I think to boost sales.
