Oatmeal Milk and Honey and Bath Truffles

I made 8 pounds of Oatmeal, Milk & Honey soap this weekend. It's one of my all time favorites. 

I also made some bath truffles with a beachy fragrance topped off with melt and pour shells. I think I may have made a mistake though - I used natural cocoa butter and the fragrance of the cocoa butter is overpowering the beach fragrance. I think I will use the deodorized cocoa butter next time. Has anyone ever had this issue?

More Soap and Bath Bombs

Today I made a cold process soap, Banana Ginger Cookie and some Fresh Cut Rose bath bombs. 

I had some Banana fragrance oil and Hansel & Gretel's House fragrance oil, both from Nature's Garden Candles. I decided to combine them together for this soap. I used poppy seeds in part of the soap and cocoa powder, for color, in the other part. I also topped the soap with some melt and pour curls. 

I also made these delicious bath bombs with dried rose petals and fresh cut rose fragrance. It really does smell exactly like a fresh cut rose.

Wax Melts and Warmers

I've been wanting to try my hand at making candles for some time now. I thought I would start with wax melts. They are so much  fun to make - but I'm not too fond of the clean up. Oh well - I don't think it will stop me. Here are some of my current wax melts made with a soy paraffin blend.
