Pineapple Weed

This grows everywhere! It's related to camomile I've made soap with this before and it's heavenly. When you crush the cone it releases a pineapple lemony scent.  It's time to harvest some and infuse the oils and dry them to add into soap.  I made before with green tea and was sooo nice I never got to try them because when I made them they sold out.  Here's a blurb I found on the plant: Pineapple weed is also supposed to work as a bug deterrent, either in fresh or powdered form.  You can rub fresh plant on exposed skin, or infuse the powder in oil and apply it.   Exciting!! 

More soap is gone

I have been soaping and soaping I get a pile then it's gone I spent the day wrapping and labelling soap to go to the Port Arthur Clinic my soap girl Ashlee has a nice box load to sell she's doing it for fun but I told her today to make a basket for herself to give as a gift or keep for herself for my thanks in getting it out there. Here is her nice pile

Activated Charcoal embedded soap

I've been watching soap tv on you tube past couple of days and got inspired to make something.  Remember the French milled Egypt bars I decided they were too small so I embedded them into this activated charcoal soap.  I can't wait to see the cut bars

Repelfly homemade version

When I went to camp, I dreamed of this.  When I was a kid my dad Bill always had a jar of Repelfly in his tackle box.  Ordiginated in Northern Ontario, a couple of men came up with the idea of an insect repellant that worked.  Using Deet as one of the ingredients.  Now that's it's banned in most provinces and states, unless you are a golfcourse, because yes, I do my research, my jar was empty and you cannot buy it  anymore.  I schemed and researched and here it is.... Secret organic, and suntan lotion, and best of all no bugs!!! Chemical and animal free! I swear babies and dogs it's ok and it is environment safe!!
