Soap on Sunday

 

C'est fini. Soap Week (s) is officially over. I cut the last loaf up yesterday but let's start from the beginning. The first one I tackled last week was Persephone's Kiss. 

Oddly, all the soap seems to have one theme this time around. Angry sea. Maybe it's because the room was arranged differently and I was pouring differently but they all have that choppy wave thing going on for some reason. 

See that? Waves. This is also a He-Man soap. For the last few weeks I've been going back and forth with Dee from Ohio about "manly" soap. Her husband confessed to her that he'd been using her "lady soap" and was a big fan. She's been reporting back to me on how his use of a "lady soap" has influenced certain behaviors. It's been too funny and influenced my scent choices to include a "manly" scent and here it is. Star Showers. Very manly, not very demure. 

I'm always asked for a Lavender soap but rarely have one. I do now. This is Lavender and Sage and again-angry seas.

Harlequin Romance is not very manly nor is it mindful or demure. 

Look at that pour. You can already tell it's going to be angry. It looks mad as hell.

It's pure evil. The Sea Gods are out for blood. They are attacking the sea gulls. 

Vanilla Bean is a bit calmer but I still see an undercurrent.

Oh, good....things finally settled down with the unscented Goat's Milk soap but.....

....roiled back up again with Empress. 

Ouch. I don't even have an explanation for what those colors did. They were dancing to their own tune that's for sure. 

Now we get to wait for 6 weeks to see if any of these beauties are usable. I had to make a lot of changes to my old formula so I'm a bit anxious. Keep your fingers crossed soap buddies. I'd really hate to have to start over. 

And...He-Man and his She-Ra sent me Movie Barbie as a thank you for sending them some soap last week and thanks to delayed blog time, she's already got a new wardrobe that I ordered from my favorite Ebay shop. Thanks again Dee and He-Man. You're the best!
