About

In 2019 I stumbled upon a YouTube video of a woman making soap, I was intrigued! I began researching and found there was whole lot to learn but the endless amount of creativity would be what I needed. I ordered a few small bottles of oils and lye (and some really crappy mica powders) from amazon. While I waited for them to arrive, I cleared out some space in the craft room I always wished I used more. With a cleared counter and a simple recipe from Anne-Marie Faiola (who I have since met in person and totally fangirled over), I poured my very first batch of soap. It was Lavender and I even went with a fancy swirl! I thought the next 24 hours was the longest day ever while I waited for it to be ready to cut. The next day I cut it and I must day, for a first timer, it was pretty darn good! From there I would learn about acid profiles and experiment with different oils, butters and began adding goats milk and other additives. Testing wasn't always easy because soap has a cure time, 4 weeks minimum but 6 is preferred. There was no way I'd be waiting for each batch to cure before I made a new formula. So I continued to pour a new batch every couple days for a few weeks. Then I realized I was out of hobby cash and really had no plan for all this soap. What was I doing? And that's when God answered loud and clear...
