Jasmine Rooibos

There was a time in my life when Jasmine was growing outside my bedroom window. At night it seemed to give off the most wonderful fragrance. I would drift off to sleep with that beautiful smell drifting through the window.

Lebermuth had the perfect Jasmine fragrance oil to evoke those memories. I added Rooibos, (African Red Bush Herb) for texture and to gentle exfoliate. I used the natural colorant of Indigo from Southern Soapers to add a tad of light blue.

Kokopelli Soap

One of the legends of Kokopelli says that he travels from village to village, blowing his flute and changing Winter into Spring. When I made this soap I think I heard the magic of his song.

In honor of the beginning of Spring and as a tribute to Kokopelli I made this cold processed soap using Thai Coconut fragrance oil from Southern Soapers. I can still hear the sound of his flute.

My Little Chick-A-Dee

This little Chick was used to fill the baskets of several children this Easter.It is made with CP Soap of course. Colored with yellow oxide from BrambleBerry and fragranced with Lemon Verbena.

Rhassoul Clay Soap

This soap is made using Rhassoul clay and a fragrance from ChemEssence that reminds me of Ivory soap, with the faint hint of honeysuckle. Too bad it didn't come out white as snow.

Chocolate Mint Soap

These sweet little beauties were made using Peppermint essential oil from Essential Wholesale and Lebermuth. The Chocolate fragrance oil is from Sweetcakes. No colorant was used. Color comes from the reaction of the fragrance oil in the soaping pot. So yummy, smells like a York Peppermint Patty.

Lavender Oatmeal Soap

One of my friends commissioned me to make this Lavender Oatmeal soap for her. I had never mixed the two but it turned out great . Now I'm thinking of adding it to my regular collection. There are no colorants, just oatmeal, lavender flowers and lavender essential oils from Lebermuth and Essential Wholesale. It is simply fantabulous.

Two Mints & Hard Candy Soap

This soap reminds me so much of Christmas. I used a little Peppermint Essential Oil from Lebermuth, a dash of Spearmint Essential Oil from Essential Wholesale and a fragrance oil from BrambleBerry called Sleigh Ride which smells just like those minty hard candies I'd get in my Christmas stocking.

Cute Little Angels

These are truly angelic soaps. A part of the assortment that I'm doing for Christmas Baskets. It is of course CP soap and fragranced with non discoloring vanilla from Lebermuth.

Loofah Massage Bar

It took me a few years to find a use for these cute little soap molds from BrambleBerry but I did. The result is this fine cold processed soap, made using ground loofah & pureed zucchini. Those little mounds feel so good when you rub it on your body. The added bonus is the great smelling fragrance of Fresh Zucchini Flower also from BrambleBerry. I guess I was having a BrambleBerry soaping day.

Snow Flakes

I started to experiment making my cp soaps in individual molds and now I'm having a fun time making all kinds of lovely soap. These snow flakes are just a few of the things I'm doing for Christmas. I used vanilla fragrance from Lebermuth to give them their delicious aroma.

New York State Novelty Soap

I guess you could say that I'm in a New State of mind. I purchased these molds from Chase Molds and couldn't resist using them for one of my cp soap recipes. I used rose fragrance because the Rose is the official flower of NY.

Rosemary Mint Soap

This classic aromatherapy blend is made using my own blend of spearmint and rosemary essential oils. I'm trying to use more natural colorants so I've experimented with spinach power in this soap. It came out rather nice. Thanks to Essential Wholesale for the essential oils.

Seaweed Soap

This is a great soap and makes me think of the time I played in the beautiful waters of St. Thomas in The Virgin Islands. It's made using kelp from the Atlantic Ocean and a fragrance oil blend from BrambleBerry. There are no colorants.

Halloween Pumpkins

These gorgeous soaps are just in time for Halloween. They are lightly fragranced with Gingersnap from BrambleBerry and colored with Neon Orange from Southern Soapers. And yes, they are cold processed soaps made using individual silicone molds.

Green Tea Soap

I love green tea. I love bathing with it and I love drinking it. I used green tea from BrambleBerry for fragrance and added powdered green tea which gives it that lovely color. Yummy!

Hot Processed Liquid Soap

I received my supplies from Dianna's Sundries and thought I'd make some more liquid soap. Here is a batch that is about to reach the "Vaseline" stage. It's coming along really great. I think I'll use it to make more some shower gel for Christmas gifts.

Gardener's Hand Soap

This is my version of gardeners hand soap. It has ground pumice to get grime off hands and is scented with white tea & ginger fragrance oil from Brambleberry. It is tinted with green chrome oxide and poured into individual 4 ounce molds. I can't wait for fall harvest.

Eucalyptus Soap

Some people like Eucalyptus all year long but I tend to make it in the fall because it gives me a comforting feeling. Probably because it reminds me somewhat of the camphor fragrance my mother used when I had a cold. The essential oils I used came from Rainbow Meadows and Majestic Mountain Sage. I have a habit of blending oils from different suppliers to get just the right aroma. I also used ground eucalyptus to help carry the fragrance.

Buzz Off

This is the time of year when mosquitoes are on the hunt for unprotected skin. I think they especially like me but I have found a few things to ward them off and even made soap with them. I'm not sure if the soap works but the oils that I used to make them with helps a lot. They are The Bug Be Gone from Lebermuth & Brambleberry and just plain old lemongrass & geranium essential oils. The soap actually smells very good and now I'm off to see if it works.

Peppermint Soap

Peppermint soap was the third batch of soap I made when I first started making soap. It has always been one of my favorites so I have searched for just the right essential oil. I wanted it to pop like when you put a stick of Wrigley's Doublemint gum in your mouth. That is just what I get when I mix Essential Wholesale and Lebermuth Peppermint Essential Oils together to make my fabulous Peppermint soap. So refreshing. So uplifting.
