Are you wondering just what in the world have I been doing with all my time? Well I’ve signed up for a show in June to sell my soap and it is 4 weeks away. Now if you’re wondering just why is the 4 weeks comment such a big deal well it’s because home made soap needs to sit at least 4 weeks before you would want to sell it. This is about how long it takes to get hard and to properly cure.
Well I’ve been working very hard these past few weeks and just trying to get as much soap made as I possibly can. I’ve got my 5 gallon pails of coconut oil, palm oil, and olive oil pretty much stationed in the kitchen beside my industrial cart, just waiting to see what soap I’m going to make next.
And I have to admit if you saw my kitchen in person it would be a little scary. But it’s been a journey these past 5 months since I ‘officially’ started to make soap and it will be really interesting to see what happens in the next 5 months.
But for now? Well I’m hoping that my last batch of the night will be cooled to the right temperature soon so I can get it mixed up and then take a hot bath and go to bed. My goal is to be in a soaking hot bath by 1:30 tomorrow morning before I hit the hay. It’s not looking promising though. It’s already almost 12:30 🙁
I’ll post some pictures soon of all my soap curing so you can see all the different flavors that I’ve got on hand. I must admit they are pretty cool. The last one that I’m just making now is one that has 5 different clays in it that will act as a natural detoxifier along with a light exfoliant in the soap. And also it just looks kinda cool too!
