New Soap!
Made it for a friend of mine who requested some soap for her wedding gifts and WOW is it ever beautiful.
This is a tallow soap that I added about a teaspoon of blue mica to to mix in then just a bit more once it was in the mold to spoon in.
I also added about 15 drops of peppermint essential oil to boost the smell just a wee bit. For the liquid I filled 5 cups of water with 2 tea bags and let simmer for 2 hours.
I am in LOVE with soap and cannot wait to get it to her. <3

I love the smell of peppermint. These are beautiful. How long do they take you to make?
Just the soap - about an hour then it sits for 12, takes 5 minutes to cut then sits for 4 weeks.
If counting tallow rendering and the mint tea making... a bit more. Haha.
In the nearer than not future I'm strongly considering making my own lye as well.
Well, I am going to keep following your soap making adventures. I have zero time to dedicate to this right now but is definitely something I am interested in trying somewhere down the line. I love that everything is sourced from your backyard - super cool! -Aimee
Absolutely!
If you ever need help, lemme know and I can help where I can. :)
1 good batch will last the whole year. :)
Thanks, that's great to know!
Then the soap will be 100% locally sourced literally right from my backyard.
