Soap Tales

I've been in a sorting mood lately. Every nook and cranny of the house has had it's day. Yesterday it was the little soap closet. You should have seen it before I neatened it up.

I have a bad habit of not wanting to give away or use the last bar of any batch.

 That means I have lots of one of a kind bars in my collection. Four boxes worth.

 I didn't throw any away but I did re-purpose them. I have a basket by the soap room door that holds the ones that The Mister can choose from and the ones I will use as hand soap. It got filled up.

 I never get to use any of those orphan bars because I am always making more. That means testing more. I can't get caught up. The first of the spring batches are having their six week cure as we speak. This is Waterlily and Bluebell. It has a lovely crisp scent.

 I am in love with Blue Agave Sugar. I made two batches and some fizzies with it. It smells like coconut.

This is Yuzu Cybilla.  Yuzu is a very exotic citrus scent. It's one of my favorites. I had to look up Cybilla to see what a Cybilla was. It's not an it. It's a she. She is a fragrance designer that works with Brambleberry. Who knew?

The last batch I cut was Grapefruit Lily which I think is my new favorite scent-that is until I made Moroccan Mint last night. At the moment my soap room smells like heaven.
