The smell of coffee first thing in the morning is what gets me up and moving.  To have the ability to reproduce that scent in a bar of soap is amazing.  This soap does just that!  

This is what they call a "rebatched" soap.  I made my first loaf of coffee soap and it was a really dark brown so I decided I would rebatch it which entailed chopping the soap in my food processor and then adding the rebatched soap with a basic soap recipe scented with Latte, a fragrance oil.  In the photo you can see a darker pieces (from the rebatched) soap and a lighter base (the new soap).  The scent is amazing!!

The ingredients for the soap are distilled water, lye, coconut oil, olive oil and shea butter; as well as cooled brewed coffee and coffee grounds, and the fragrance oil used was Latte.

Each bar weighs approximately 4.5 oz.

On a personal note, I keep a bar of this soap near my sink and use it after I have chopped onions and it seems to wash off the smell. The coffee grounds add a bit of an abrasive quality to the soap, good on dirty hands!

FALL is in the air!  I just noticed the changing of the leaves this week and they are changing every day!  

This soap is inspired by everything Fall - the falling leaves, homemade soup, chili, pumpkins in the fields and gardens, and Halloween as well as Thanksgiving rapidly approaching!  The scent of the bar is enticing - brown sugar and pumpkin and the color reminds me of fresh baked pumpkin pie!

The soap is made of coconut oil, palm oil (self-sustained), olive oil, castor oil, distilled water, lye, pumpkin puree, Brown Sugar Pumpkin fragrance oil and Copper Sparkle mica.  The last ingredient is that each bar of soap is made with lots of love! 

The weight of each bar is approximately 4.5 ounces.

Watermelon soap, what?  Yes, it is a watermelon soap!  First of all, the scent on this is delightful.  I make a point of trying each and every soap I make.  This is the current soap in the house, and it is so good.  Definitely one of my husband's favorites.  It is a more difficult soap to make with the 3 layers of colors.  I admit the white layer because it is the thinnest was a challenge for me.  The bottom layer is made of two different greens. The middle is a white layer and the top layer is so cool. It even has embedded watermelon seeds throughout this layer.  The embeds are made from a soap dough I made.  On top of the sculpted top are more watermelon seeds as well as starry ecological glitter.  

The seed embeds go all the way through the soap, from first wash to the last!

This soap is made with olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, distilled water, lye and a combination of two fragrance oils, Cucumber Melon and Black Raspberry Vanilla. Magenta mica was the colorant as well as Woodland Green and Lime Green Mojito.

Approximate weight of each bar is 3.6 ounces.

I love to learn different techniques for making soap whether it is melt and pour, cold process or hot process soap.  The method of making soap dough for embeds (which uses a basic cold process recipe but more hands on with smooshing the soap and yes that is how they describe it) and keeping it well wrapped so it does not dry out.  The dough can be formed into components using small molds or large molds and even an extruder to form the soap dough into shapes such as I have used for this hand soap (tiny bats). I have made 2 batches of this soap.  On the first one, the bats were in a row at the bottom of the soap and the other batch the bats decided to move around the soap bar.  I love both styles and cannot take credit for the formation in either soap!

The bat embeds in this soap bar through each soap bar, not placed on top!

The soap batch is made of olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, lye, distilled water, Pumpkin Cardamom fragrance oil, pumpkin puree, copper sparkle mica, red Moroccan clay, pineapple mica, bat embeds required premade soap dough with black mica colorant and lots of love!

Estimated weight of each bar of soap is 4.4 ounces.  

I have already quite a few of these and have had great reviews and tons of smiles when the bats are seen in the soap!

This is another adventure with soap dough and embeds.  I pictured a dark blue night sky as the back drop with 3 tiny white stars in the sky.  In the center is a big orange pumpkin with 2 shades of green for the stem.  The embeds are premade with soap dough which is made from soap batter and then colored and placed in an air tight container for a few days and then manipulated by introducing heat into the dough which loosens up and becomes malleable to shape.  I was lucky to have a pumpkin mold to premake the pumpkin and then add a formed stem on the top as well as to extrude the 3 white stars.  Both of these embeds go the entire length of the soap loaf and the design is present in most stages of use (there may be a delay for the stars on one side as the embeds sometimes shift but it should appear soon after using the bar.  

The ingredients for this soap are:  Olive oil, shea butter, coconut oil, distilled water, lye, Cardamom Pumpkin fragrance oil; Orange, white, and 2 green micas for coloring.  Each bar is made with lots of love.

Estimated weight of each soap bar is 4.8 ounces.

I originally made a swirled soap loaf that I loved everything about it except that one of the swirl colors was way too dark and thick and I was not liking it so much.  So, I decided to remake the soap using ground up pieces of this loaf added to another batch of soap base and I am so much happier with the way this soap loaf turned out. 

The scent I used for this is Frosted Fir which is, you might think, very wintery and fresh like walking through a fir tree forest, and you would be correct!  The soap base is white with small pieces of three colors of green throughout.  After using this soap, your hands smell so good!  

The soap is made of rebatched soap (as described above), coconut oil, olive oil, shea butter, sodium hydroxide, distilled water, Frosted Fir fragrance oil, titanium dioxide, Micas for color agents (green, light green and dark green) and of course, lots of love!.

Estimated weight of the soap bar is 4.5 ounces.

As a gardener, I always planted calendula in my flower garden. The mix of yellow and orange blossoms was always a striking combination.  I had read that the dried petals could be put into soap both as a coloring agent and as an herb.  I have a bunch of dried calendula and chopped the dried blossoms up and used them in a batch of soap!  It provided a very soft pale yellow color to the soap.

The soap is made of sodium hydroxide, distilled water, dried calendula petals, coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, olive oil, castor oil, Garden party fragrance oil and lots of love!

Estimated weight of each soap bar is 4.5 ounces.

This soap smells so good!  It has a sweet lemon fragrance!I always take a sample soap to see what it is like and it is creamy, bubbly and just delightful!  It is an off white soap with a pale yellow swirl throughout.  

The ingredients are as follows:  Olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, sodium hydroxide, distilled water, Italian Limoncello fragrance oil, yellow mica colorant, titanium dioxide, gold ultrasparkle mica and lots of love!

Estimated weight of each bar is 3.7 ounces.

Beach glass sure does bring back memories of being at the beach and collecting shells and beach glass.  I wondered just how long that beach glass had been tumbling around in the surf.  Always fun to bring back a jar of beach glass memories!  I tried to capture the memory of sea glass memories in this soap some of the blue shades I remember.  

The ingredients for this soap are coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, castor oil, sodium hydroxide, distilled water, titanium dioxide, Vitamin E, Frosted Sea Glass fragrance oil, Turquoise Teal mica and Turquoise Teal with titanium dioxide and lots of love!

Estimated weight of a bar of soap is 4.5 ounces.

This bar of soap takes my breath away.  It swirls in all directions - side to side, crossways and diagonally.  The colors are a combination of neon colorants that were softy muted but they are mesmerizing.  It is a smaller bar but time consuming with this swirl.  

The ingredients are as follows:  Sodium hydroxide, olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, distilled water, titanium dioxide, Neon mica pigments of blue, hot pink and House Party Purple; Garden Party fragrance oil and Into the Mystic biodegradable glitter and lots of love!

Estimated weight for each soap bar is 2.8 ounces.

Sea shells, see shells down by the sea shore was running through my mind as I was thinking about what kind of soap did I want to make and this is what I came up with.  I had a bunch of white soap dough that I used to make some sea shells to place on top of each bar and some nice biodegradable glitter to sprinkle on top and I got to work!

I premade sea shells out of homemade soap dough which has similar ingredients to the soap base I used.

Ingredients used were Olive oil, coconut oil, olive oil, sodium hydroxide, distilled water, shea butter, titanium dioxide, Sea Glass fragrance oil, biodegradable glitter and lots of love!

Estimated weight of each soap bar is 3.9 ounces
