Teach Soap

So that was an eventful soaping session.....just one thing after another.

My floor smells very lovely right now. You know, I didn't really need to use that White Tea & Ginger FO in my soap after all. Thank goodness it's a nice light/fresh scent, and not something heavy and cloying.

The soap is sitting there innocently in its mold. But I'm keeping a close eye on it. At this point, I'm fully expecting it to rise up and do a dance on the counter.

Yup I had a horrible soaping experience last night. Everything that could go wrong did. First I stupidly poured my orange EO in a plastic solo cup to mix it with Lemongrass and some cornstarch, well who knew that EO eats the white coating on the inside of the cups? Then I measured out the wrong amount of oil on two of my oils in the same bowl so I had to adjust the rest of the oils to make up for it. Then I used tap water instead of the distilled that was sitting right next to the scale on the counter. Then I poured the soap into the mold thinking I made a 3# batch...nope only made 2# so I had to scrape the batter out into a Pringles can and then a tupperware container. Then I put the Pringles can in the oven that I had turned on to 170 but turned off prior to putting the soap in and about an hour later I looked at it and the soap had volcanoed. Yup it was a great soaping night for me!

I hear soap gremlins like cookies and beer.

YAY! The Gremlins are busy so I can soap in safety!

Seriously though, I'm sorry the Gremlins paid you a visit. The last time they showed up at my house, they set my oven on fire.
