The Family That Soaps Together



 I talked The Mister into playing with soap with me. First we took a trip to the grocery store for some cheapo ingredients.



 I let him pick out the colors and smells from my ever growing soap stash. He picked orange-color and fragrance. He liked weighing out the oils. He wasn't even afraid of the lye.



 He handled the stick blender like a pro.


 He wanted lots of orange and that's what he got using some Annatto Seed powder. I'm still trying to get it off of stuff. It's pretty powerful. A little goes a long way. This may be self tanning soap.



 I showed him how to do some fancy mica swirls on the top with some squirt bottles of color and a bamboo skewer.


Look at that mess. I'm happy we did this outside. Now we have to wait a few days to see what he made.
